I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?
How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.
I must have been spared from the other meme toys, this one I noticed.
Yes. How can those things also be popular?
Absurdist humour will always have fans
Why did my friends love Weebl and Bob or Arfenhaus?
Do they also get their own line of toys?
You can buy weebl and bob toys right now still.
have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird
It looks like something I would have mildly chuckled at when I was 12.
I've seen a number of people who I know for a fact enjoyed Salad Fingers 20 years ago just unthinkingly dunking on skibidi toilet
Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it's time for the geezers to look at it. 👴
I'll give it a watch.
That's the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it's good.
I have watched Skibidi Toilet - Season 1 [FULL SCREEN] my main thoughts are "cool use of source engine", I then watched a random one and at least it has different content so i'll watch some more of it later.
For me the initial clip is a bit meh, but the world building of the random episode looks interesting.
The lack of any dialogue kinda makes me feel like I have to pay attention otherwise I'd have no clue what's going on.
Yeah I initially wrote it off as absurdist source engine 2010 yup engineer videos. But there's quite a bit more nuance than that.
Isn't it absurdist horror?
These kids seem way more into horror than I've ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin's kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.
The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.
Nah, it's a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.
Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?
It's all because of that damn song sample!
The dancing fat Turk
It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.
I'm serious.
No it shouldn't.
I am also serious.
Hello serious, I'm dad
