WOOOOOOOO!!! (i don’t watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)
We’re back boys (somewhere I’ve never been and will never go)
Tim cooked (it’s poisoned)
I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.
Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.
It’s still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update
I was wondering what you meant by Top 20 until I checked their website. I thought it was just still BR with some variations. It’s basically Roblox now.
I used this third party website tho. As it displays player count graphs and other things for each “”“experience”“”.
Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.
One could argue that this is the weird part of the internet now since we are the minority
We are like the BBS, IRC, and Usenet users of the late 2000s who refused to be swayed by Digg, Reddit, and (SMS only) Twitter.
Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.
This video from tale foundry touches on this.
Let kids be kids, and enjoy their lore like we did when we were young. It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

Yep, I remember the old South Park episode about “Internet Dollars” something like 15 years old, and suddenly, people are figuring out how to do just that.
Really interesting video thanks for sharing.
Before we criticize the zoomers let’s remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers
That’s the journey I went on. The phrae “skibidi toilet” started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It’s SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.
I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”
I got the fact that it’s a SFM YouTube poop after I looked it up. I get why the kids like it and they keep making more. It’s all very cozy and internet.
What I don’t get is corpos trying to put skibidi toilet into things. I get why they’re doing, child money. But like how do you integrate something as abstract and absurd into your own IP? But like in a way that kids will still think it’s cool and not like dumb corpos trying to get on the bandwagon. Or maybe it’s not working and we’re just hearing about the attempts before they fail.
2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”
It’s unironically one of my favorite examples of “show don’t tell” storytelling.
I keep thinking of Abe Simpson’s line about “I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.” It’s not weird and scary yet, but there’s a “huh, that’s different” factor.
I find it interesting that Gmod almost touching 20 yrs and sfm still relevant to this day, there is always that guy who animates memes on sfm.
CoreyLaddo on YouTube. He’s a true SFM animator and a damn good one.
zoomers
Hey pal, don’t blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties
I’m sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.
Badger badger badger. Explain that shit to a boomer
I was going to mention ytmnd. Thank you.
And also with context.
Can’t argue with that.
If I can go back to any of that and not be deeply mystified by our collective insanity, we weren’t trying hard enough
Even with context. The whole site was dedicated to hosting brainrot before brainrot was even a word.
We had salad fingers
Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?
Speak for yourself. The only mod slop i consumed was Tribes and Unreal Tournament
Speak up please I can’t hear you over your creaking hips
I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?
have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird
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.
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
The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.
It looks like something I would have mildly chuckled at when I was 12.
How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.
Yes. How can those things also be popular?
Absurdist humour will always have fans
I must have been spared from the other meme toys, this one I noticed.
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
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.
Valve has been rather quiet about the use of male_07 by Dafuq.
Seems like the best strategy don’t you think? There are no real pros to pushing a pointless copyright claim and only negatives would come from doing so.
That animation is shit, it’s slow and doesn’t have the weirdness the OG has. You ruined a shitty meme fortnite, well done.
It would require them to individually custom animate every face’s 3D mesh to it’s absolute extremes.
If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that’s if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they’d do it tbh.
If they can spend the time making sure the stupid dances are right, they can spend the time making this shitty meme right.
If you’re gonna do something, do it right or don’t do it at all!
I’m getting the impression that your name isn’t exactly misleading.
But I do agree that a limited implementation of a more well executed version would be more interesting. Even if the whole meme is dumb.
I chose my name for a reason.
It’s more the speed of the movement that ruins it, it’s too slow, speed the animation cycle up a bit and it wouldn’t look as bad.
Just put skibidi toilet as a random NPC enemy in the game, I think that would be better, have it be like a random hord that runs through the map
Huh, Fortnite is the next Family Guy.
Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.
I asked a seven-year-old girl why he’s in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You’re welcome.
Thank her for me
They’re already making a film about it, this was inevitable
With Michael Bay of all people. Sounds like something out of a comedy sketch.
Exploding toilets? I’m there!!
That project has been abandoned
i will be getting this.
ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth
We got skibidi toilet fortnite before GTA 6.
It feels a bit late…
