    Skibidi Toilet is a serious of SFM shorts that became popular with young kids. Think in the same vein as the weird flash videos or early SFM videos that were popular with young kids. “Skibidi” doesn’t mean anything and is just taken from that.

      It’s literally just gibberish and jump scares.

        Charlie the Unicorn had a coherent plot and humor structure. It wasn’t “lol random.” Maybe you’re thinking of Llamas in Hats.

        I always get an aneurysm whenever Enhancer for YouTube fails to hide shorts and I see all the fucking shorts spam on YT. It's horrible how much it ruined search results. I fucking hate what YT has become over the last decade especially.

        I actually smiled and laughed when I first saw that it was a huge trend, considering all the gary’s mod and SFM stuff, especially TF2 videos, I adored myself as a teen/young adult. Made me feel less old seeing that there’s still life in the meme format.

      It does mean something.

      The skibidi toilet “creatures” are considered the antagonists, and the weird is associated with their traits.

      • creepy
      • gross
      • scary
      • weird

      Its an insult to and pretty much interchangeably with “creepy” with a splash of “cringe”

      Often paired with “ohio” which means “bland” / " boring" / “mid”

      Example:

      “Yo he got that skibidi Ohio rizz”

      Translation:

      “This dude has zero game, in fact he is creepy and weird and has negative charisma, people find him repulsive and boring”

        Damn, kids these days. Like, I knew that I shouldn’t disregard slang as meaningless just because I don’t understand it, but I’m realising how despite knowing this, I’ve probably been subconsciously dismissive. TIL, thank you.

      • Sotuanduso@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’ve never seen that association with my friends who use it. It’s always been more of a meme word, a meaningless adjective you throw into a sentence to make it “funnier.”

        Source Filmmaker - basically the tech used in Valve’s games (IE Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Gmod) but repurposed into an easy to use animation tool. Valve used it quite a bit for their content but it was also popular among amateur animators since it was easy to use and had bunch of ready-to-use resources from Valve’s games.

      Honestly the entire thing evolved quickly from silly random humor to a full-blown story with recognizable characters and drama.

        So the Skibidi Toilets seem to operate on being able to hurt “people” via jump-scares. These “people” I refer to could be called “Tech Heads” (don’t know if their is some skibidi-subculture which has consistent names for factions or characters).

        The Tech Heads come in various flavors and keep upgrading their Heads to fight off the Skibidi Toilets.

        The battles increasingly rely on both sides absurdly upgrading their arsenals in over-the-top and sometimes downright Cronenberg-esque ways. It makes heavy, heavy use of Half Life 2 GMod assets that are heavily modified to be these freaky creations.

        The main endings of the shorts are either Skibidi’s winning and serving you up a jump-scare before a blackscreen, or the various Tech Heads winning and giving each other thumbs up. Over time, even these concepts are lampooned or used as misdirects.

        Further, there has honestly been clever use of the different type of Tech Heads for storytelling and meta-storytelling devices.

        It ends up in an all-out war that includes deep subterfuge on both sides. I won’t say it’s not creative, it’s actually incredibly creative and well-put-together.

        I just wasn’t able to find the humor in it.

      …and it’s all subconscious representations of feelings about the internet.

      It makes some users into toilet brained idiots. It reveals people as political agents if governments. It shows some are just “camera men” viewers, recorders, uploaders, and others are speakers trying to say something.

      It questions what can be ridiculous in this new arena - if anything.

      The art style is known as Machinima, and dates back to the early 90s.

      Humans actually have trouble saying thibgs that aren’t meaningful - our subconscious tends to always have something to say due to always having to hold things back. It’s just who we are.

        Probably since the author is russian (?) that’s where they took it from. But it was interesting to learn that it’s a common phrase for a range of artists.

        Try living in the shadow of boomers with no support. We were helpless (okokok; also apathetic). I for one am glad to have the backup of the following generations. Even if each successive generation is more inscrutable to me than the previous.

        Yup. They have every right to call the slang I grew up with asinine, too. In fact, it would be weird if they didn’t.

        It kind of amazes me that a few words, like “cool”, have stood the test of time. They’re outliers, though.

    While others did explain skibidi toilet, I think it would be good to step back a little to what popularised the… sound? “skibidi”.

    Some Turkish dude used this part of a song in his belly dance video. I am talking about a bouncy belly. This is a repost of that: youtube.com/shorts/3-RlRmYshCQ
    He then later posted more similar videos, becoming a meme.

    As for the song, this is it: youtu.be/0U7SBGBCoGs

    • Chozo@fedia.io ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      "Skibidy" predates this song by a long shot. It's a common vocalization used in a lot of scat singing, so it's possibly a century old at this point.

        Ha, true.

        I’m the scat-man!

        Hadn’t thought about this in years but you mentioning it had my mind mainlining the song.

      • user224@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Sup. But I was referring specifically to this instance of it as these memes use that sound specifically from this song or remixes of it.

    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. 🤷
