What the actual fuck is going on here? "Skibidi toilet" what???
My kid used to play Roblox, which I understand is riddled with bullshit, but this is new to me and just utterly wild.
I guess this is the kinda stuff I missed out on (luckily avoided??) by just having one child - no bizarre sibling rivalry over opaque internet currency.
Afaik it's basically like those Garry's mod videos from the 2000s. Gen Alpha-millenial alliance strengthens.
tbh it only makes sense if you watch it
Seriously, there's ideology happening here. There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents, locked in an escalating arms race which gradually destroys the entire world they're fighting over. The toilets have human heads grotesquely warped but toilet bodies while the agents have human bodies which are always in businesswear but machine heads, specifically machines of surveillance and propaganda (security cameras, televisions, and loudspeakers). The toilets primarily use physical attacks or eye lasers while the agents use more and more machines attached to their bodies. The toilets can parasitize the agents, but the agents quickly develop technological countermeasures.
The perspective is always that of an agent.
What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity? I don't know but it's not nothing.
i like that the toilets are disabled by flushing. that's some Doofenshmirtz enemy design right there
The toilets develop little caps to go over their flushers, too. Truly there's A Lot Going On Here.
skibidi toilets did nothing wrong, death to america
I cannot adequately express how much I love this analysis, you fucking rock.
I've barely scratched the surface. I'm going to be thinking about this shit for days.
The skibidi toilets are a radicalized group who gets "normies" liberals to join them, basically Maoism.
bourgeois dictatorship smh
"humanity" no idealism please, there is a struggle between workers and property owners
SkibiCIA toilet more like it
Call me a boomer, but this should be illegal to show to children
could be worse
could be caillou
Nobody should be exposed to fr*nch canadians
Yeah I'm pretty sure caillou was like scientifically proven to make children become assholes
it makes a bunch of people on reddit irrationally mad about those darn kids so critical support
Contrarian brain
the purest form of thought
This is what HP Lovecraft was talking about.
wow this really says something about
THANK YOU! This answered questions my teen had about a conversation he overheard, and it absolutely delighted me. Idk what it says about me that I love this, but I super do.
it means you were either on the internet circa 2007 and enjoyed youtube poops and garry's mod videos, or you're about to learn about and enjoy them
Gmod animator made a thing, shit blew up with children and now we're here and are kinda forced to exist with low quality bullshit that gets peddled to kids by every greedy son of a removed. DaFuq!?Boom! is the guy who originally made this and I appreciate his creativity with what he has even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I love that this weird shit blew up! There's something truly magical about a weirdo finding their niche and audience.
Hey I'm all for it too. I grew up with weird, abstract and surrealist Gmod animations. I love them with all my heart. CrazyScoutFin, Eltorro64Rus, Kitty0706 and more. Good shit, and it makes me happy to see younger generations enjoy the same slop I did! For better or for worse lmao
