First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh

I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yeah the millenial reaction to Skibidi Toilet is their test for if they will Become Boomer or not.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

Oh how the turns are tabling, or some shit. I have become boomer.

Same, and I just thought it was the one video, but now after this post was made I've come to learn there is like hours worth of skibidi toilet videos and I'm blown away. This is no worse than rooster teeth red vs blue, arby n cheef, ytp, or any of the abridged series but as short form video. The kids are alright.

skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yup, spiritually millennial
funnier than 90% of zoomer memes no offense

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Pretty much

The people who were laughing at the Doctor Hax stuff in the late 2000's are now saying 'this is too far, sir'

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

People who trash Skibidi Toilet simply don't remember what it was like to be a kid

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

they dont dream to imagine

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I've literally essentially said this on this site, lmao

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean skibidi toilet is a gmod vid no?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's source filmmaker, I think. Same thing used to make the "Meet the Whoever" TF2 videos

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Promised me flying cars and instead delivered skibidi toilet.

[–] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

A hundred 9/11s after every bar closes for the night!

[–] HexBeara@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Just Internet absurdist humor, not sure there's much else to understand. There's badger badger, norwhals, le tired, do the flop, beep beep I'm a sheep, snape snape Severus snape (Dumbledore), grandmas cookies, a slew of fan-dubbed Abridged series. If they don't get it, they're terribly uptight and serious and don't know any joy. Like don't make skibidi your whole personality either but appreciate it's quirkiness and move on to what else exists I guess.

Is it still a meme if Michael Bay is making a movie about it

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I still maintain that skibidi toilet is very obvious something came up by a zoomer and that it doesn't really resemble stuff that millennials liked back in the day. The fact that it has a plot and an overarching theme while being dystopian already distances itself from lol randumb XD humor.

I think what's happening is that the creator might be a zoomer, but the target audience is gen alpha. It's like how a lot of early Newgrounds stuff were created by gen x but consumed by millennials. The first by-millennials-for-millennials creations were ytp which were created by millennials who were exposed to older Newgrounds stuff.

It's extra cringe for a zoomer to shit on skibidi toilet because it's very much a product of zoomer meme culture.

I'm 34 and i don't

It's fine if you do or you don't we're all still comrades

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

im an 80s baby and i don't get it either but whatever

[–] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Skibidi toilet makes more sense than 95% of SFMs from back in the day. Like there's an ongoing storyline and everything. People who hate on it but watched other sfm/ytp nonsense back in the day just have boomer ass mindsets

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Making fun of skibidi toilet is liberalism

No wonder this place is constantly complaining about be lonely and having no gyatt rizz 😔

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I'm roughly the same age and don't feel the need to or desire ti understand. A lot of youth culture is about being inscrutable and distinct from older people culture, and that's fine. Let kids have their fun
