Gen Z here. Even I have no idea
Comment on What is skibidi toilet? [Serious]

I’m a millennial who doesn’t really know.
But. It seems like the duck billed platypus of zoomer humor. YouTube pays for views. And people just make million of videos. And this one happened to catch on. And it’s so bizarre people show it to their friends. Hilarity ensues. 🤷

it’s not zoomer humour, it is alpha gen humour. zoomers hate it.
as a millennial i think it’s very funny that gen z are confused by the next generation’s memes

The hate for skibidi toilet baffles me because it’s literally the same shit we laughed at not even 20 years ago? Does nobody remember pingas and pootis? Fan flashes? It’s crazy how fast people fall into “kids like it so it’s bad”

That’s what I’ve been thinking, too. As a zoomer/zillennial who doesn’t follow it, from what I’ve gathered Skibidi Toilet seems to be just Gen Alpha’s equivalent of YouTube Poops that Milllennials loved and GMod animation shitposts Zoomers enjoyed.
Considering I loved both of these while growing up, and still like rewatching them from time to time for nostalgia’s sake, it’d be hypocritical of me to hate skibidi toilet 😅

I have honestly never heard of pingas and pootis, or fan flashes. Are those American things? Or was I already too old for these things 20 years ago. Late thirties here.

They were popular gags that dominated the millennial YouTube landscape. I can’t say they were American things since I’m not American and they were still popular here. Possible you just missed, the internet’s big

Every generation just finds it’s humor further and further up the anus of the internet
