cameraman scientist receives reinforcements
Skibidi Toilet is a machinima web series of KZbin videos and shorts created by Alexey Gerasimov and uploaded on his KZbin channel DaFuq!?Boom!. Produced using Source Filmmaker, the series follows a fictional war between human-headed toilets and humanoid characters with electronic devices for heads. Since the first short was posted in February 2023, Skibidi Toilet has become viral as an internet meme across various social media platforms, particularly popularized by Generation Alpha. Many commentators saw the series as Generation Alpha's first foray into internet culture.
Plot and characteristics
The largely dialogue-free series depicts a conflict between singing human-headed toilets-the titular "Skibidi Toilets"-and humanoids with CCTV cameras, speakers, and televisions in place of their heads. In a New York City-esque setting, the Skibidi Toilets, and their leader G-Man, threaten humanity. Two types of humanoids, cameramen and speakermen, form an alliance against the toilets. Each has one of its kind that is much larger than the rest, termed "titans". A toilet parasite infects the Speaker Titan, leading to casualties. Later in the series, TV-headed humanoids and their titan are introduced, and with their help, the speaker titan is broken free from mind control. The battle spreads to other cities, where the titans destroy what seems to be the G-Man, but is later revealed to be an impostor. The titans convene and seems to defeat the mastermind, the Scientist Toilet, but once again are fooled by a decoy. The true Scientist Toilet is revealed to be in hiding. After a strike mission, the Scientist Toilet is defeated, but all but one member of the crew are killed. The one remaining member is transported to meet the Secret Agent, a mysterious human seemingly involved in the creation of the toilets. Business Insider described the series as "an endless arms race as both the toilets and their foes [produce] stronger fighters".
An unlicensed mashup of the songs "Give It to Me" by Timbaland and "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Biser King, created by TikTok user @doombreaker03, appears in each episode as the theme of the Skibidi Toilets. The name Skibidi originates from the Timbaland song, where the lyric “so give it to me, give it to me” sounds akin to "Skibidi" in the sped-up version used in the mashup. The two songs' label Universal Music Group has issued copyright takedowns on the full version of the mashup, resulting in some videos featuring the mashup to be taken down. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears is featured in some videos as the theme of the resistance forces.
The show contains references to video games, such as the character G-Man, whose name comes from the Half-Life video game series, and the dances performed by the Cameramen are inspired by emotes from the online game Fortnite.
