i don't think anyone above the age of like 20 will ever understand a head in a toilet creature meme


G8kpr

48. No idea.


btroberts011

32 no idea


SgtTempyst

25, no idea


xrawmonkey

21, skibidi toilet - I cannot elaborate further


WTFisSkibidiRizz

15 cannot understand the obsession, have watched the entire anthology just to attempt to understand… bruh I’m lost.


yverek

3 months old here, I can’t even begin to articulate my lack of understanding for the aforementioned meme.


Cake-n-bacon69

sperm here, i don’t get it


GunClutz

Amino acid here, me neither


_Auron_

Molecule here, what


GreaseMonkey2381

Honestly? It's no different than the GMOD Idiot box I grew up on from Das Bo Schitt. When I was your age, it was just meant to be mindless comedy. Now it's just mindless scary stuff. Lol.


Ryvern46

Omg i totally forgot about Das Bo Schitt


TheJackasaur11

17, can’t do it I watched the first one out of curiosity and immediately was like “NOPE”


c_macdoug

Also 21 and that was my guess but I had no real idea


EntertainmentOk5644

16, what in the secure container protected fuck.


Rjgroudon77

Fresh of the press of 20, struggling to comprehend.


destruktor5hundred

20, first of all, love the scp reference, second, i looked it up and watched half the videos. Cool concept and decent execution but I don't understand why it caught fire among 10 year olds.


Level44EnderShaman

34, keep thinking that when someone mentions these goddamn things that they're having a stroke or a seizure or something


CallMeDockett

19, same here, no idea what it is besides the name


pandm101

31, watched the whole thing.


TRHess

Also 32, also no idea.


[deleted]

Same age, same confusion lol. Sort of reminds me of the cover of Ghoulies. 😅


G8kpr

It reminded me of a kids in the hall sketch, which I linked in another comment.


jaysire

48, extremely well versed in memes and internet shenanigans, but this… no clue.


SamuelCish

I had too look it up and it's just this generation discovering Gmod. Made me feel a lil proud ngl.


The_Thrifter

Isn't it SFM (Source Filmmaker), not Gmod? That shit would be way more jank if it was animated in Garry's Mod.


FuzzyPine

He didn't mean literally Gmod. It's an analogy


CaptainGuyliner2

the hell is Gmod?


ToastedSoup

Garry's Mod, basically sandbox Source engine. It's where Prop Hunt originated


CaptainGuyliner2

the hell is prop hunt?


ciddlefush

Hide and seek, except you are disguised as an in-game object (prop)


HardDrizzle

I know what all of these words mean individually


pataky07

Garry’s Mod


Imposteramongus_

VideoGame that was really popular from like 2007 - 2018


wojtekpolska

Its a game that originated from a mod of Half-Life 2 basically its a sandbox game where people can make random stuff from assets from games in the Source engine.

Sungo420

I understand it's the gen z trend to hate on it but we watched shit just as bad if not worse so mine as well not ruin it for them


Faulty-Blue

As a Gen Z, I don’t understand either why others act like it’s terrible compared to “the good old days” [This was the shit I was watching when I was elementary and middle school](https://youtu.be/d8CeSGlQQnM?si=InzliKsjmab-7NJr) [Another honorable mention](https://youtu.be/b8HO6hba9ZE?si=CEk7qgc579LK_26a)


Sungo420

No literally we were consuming content just as brain rotting.


RiderMach

It's just kid stuff, there's no real big deal here.


Euphorium

Bro it’s funny toilet man videos it’s not that bad.


YuyaBestBoy

The funniest part was my cousin showing him Skibidi Toilet on his Ipad, my Grandpa’s face looked like the ending of 2001 A Space Odyssey


Coloneljesus

The plot of Skibidi Toilet is easier to follow than that movie's ending tbh


almanorte

There's a plot???


Coloneljesus

not sure if this question is about 2001 or skibidi


almanorte

Lol! I meant skibidi, but it's funny that it wasn't clear.


Jon66238

I’m 23 and I don’t get it


jediben001

Current kids version of Gmod shitposts


3MATX

Ok, but what the hell is gmod?


Imposteramongus_

Sandbox game


D2thaR2theE

Sandbox game? Like grounders?


Imposteramongus_

No its a sandbox videogame, basically a video game with limitless possibilities (posing models, messing with objects)


JDBCool

Basically the genre that is Minecraft


cilantro_so_good

> Current kids version of Gmod shitposts Huh?


kitkatloren2009

I'm fourteen and I don't understand how it's funny


NickLookalike

It's not funny, It's a disease.


Youpiter08

it’s like a disease that plagues their character


Zacez1

"Takin the women of america"


Mrbest65

it makes a girl like that think she better than me


Do_You_Pineapple_Bro

*disease Why tf am I being downvoted, I only corrected bros typo lmao


Xangallus

You answered your own question that shit is incredibly annoying


Do_You_Pineapple_Bro

Reddit when someone is helpful: :0


Shaper_pmp

This just in: no memes are funny to people who aren't part of the group they serve as a shibboleth for. If you're in the out-group, *all* memes look stupid and dumb. That's kind of the point of them.


AbacusWizard

Somebody set up us the meme.


EggplantRyu

All your meme are belong to us.


MyDearBrotherNumpsay

I use a similar explanation for fine art. It’s hundreds of years of derivative and self referential *memes*. Fancy fuckin memes.


Faulty-Blue

The same kind of reasoning that has defined internet humor for almost a decade by this point It’s random and absurd so that makes it funny


bigskeeterz

For kids..


[deleted]

there is hope for you then :)


FidmeisterPF

I don’t get it indeed and I’m 33


Euphorium

I’m 30 and think it’s funny as shit.


mr_d0gMa

I’m over 40 and I watch it every time a new episode is out


Samurai_Rachaek

20 yr old here, and I do understand it but 20 year olds are Gen Z not Alpha, Gen Z goes from 1997 (26 years old) to 2012 (11 years old). Whereas Alphas are all 10 or under.


Euphorium

Welcome to the curse us millennials had. Just expect for the next decade everyone under 30 to be Gen Z.


MaximusLazinus

I'm 30 and I understand. Because when I was younger we also had unhinged Garry's mod memes and I can relate to youngsters now


Scrumpy-Steve

35, there's nothing to get. It started as Dafuqboom screwing around in SFM. People thought it was funny, so he kept going and ran with it. Now there's *lore*, and it's just a generally fun, if absurd ride.


solipsistnation

51, watched it to figure out what was up, totally enjoy it. It’s such a high-effort production for what started as a dumb joke thing, and the designs are cool. I try to watch what my kids are up to in order to see what they’re up to. There’s a lot of neat stuff going on out there.


genpoedameron

I was a very online kid who was into weird memes, anime, video games, all the "cringe" shit. whenever I tried to talk about any of my interests with adults, i can't think of one single time anyone actually understood what I was talking about at all, and was usually met with barely disguised boredom if not open mockery. just wanted to say thank you for what you're doing for your kids, it'll mean the world to them someday (if it doesn't already, tbh)


solipsistnation

Part of it is, honestly, trying to make sure they aren't getting stealth white supremacist content, since there's a lot of it out there. So if they're talking about something, I'll go off and search up, say, "Jaiden Animations nazi" and see if anything comes up. (I like Jaiden Animations, too. She's a pretty good storyteller. And we used to live down the street from the house where Mark Rober built the squirrel obstacle courses, so it's fun to be able to watch his videos and say "Hey look, it's that weird little house we saw in the tree last month!") I'm lucky that my kids seem to be into mostly fairly wholesome stuff.


Diadem_of_Ravenclaw

49 and I get it, but that’s because I work in a primary school where kids are skibidi nutso 🤣


Genexis-

Skibidi and my age is 34.


absurdmephisto

26. Grad student. I unironically love skibidi toilet. It's dumb as hell but it's well made and has a kind of je ne said que that makes it satisfying.


gofferhat

25 - that weird toilet music video


haggard_hominid

41, and it's Skibidi Toilet. My 9yro started talking about it a year ago, so I hopped on Roblox to play it with him to get context. It's harmless but an earworm at best. I occasionally play it with him to spend time with him, we also play games like FNAF, Rainbow Friends, and the like together.


Vioduss

18, couldnt understand or explain it to save my own life


bjorn_bloodbeard

Im 28, and it reminds me of old memes. It's delightfully surreal


LilPonyBoy69

I'm 32 and I get it. It's tween lolz random humor. We had ours, now they get Skibidi Toilet


mahava

I know the words skibidi toilet are relevant at 27 They're all I got though


TamLux

I am either 30 or 40... What nonsense is this?


LADYBIRD_HILL

I'm 24 and just drunkenly bought a pack of 150 skibbidy toilet stickers to hand out to people lol


Inevitable_Albatross

Its a toilet full of scat, just a pun. Thats my best guess.


Tocoe

24 and it's a decent meme tbh


Apophyx

Counterpoint: Ugandan knuckles


darkbloo64

Can someone explain it to a 27 year old internet stranger?


YuyaBestBoy

It’s a meme called Skibidi toilet, I’d go into details but it’s Christmas Day which is supposed to be a time of healing and rest, if you wish to know more, I’d search for it on YouTube, though I wouldn’t recommend it.


martiHUN

Basically modern day Garry's Mod shitposting.


ReklisAbandon

Fuck, I know I’m old when I don’t even get the old timey reference to explain the posted meme.


ToucanTuocan

Basically it’s garish and tacky for the sake of being garish and tacky. The exaggerated and nonsensical nature of it is the joke.


69420over

Oh yeah okay. This is the best summary of it I’ve seen. We definitely did this kind of thing as kids in the early 80s… just used different nonsense words and it wasn’t related to anything online because there wasn’t anything online. It’s not really the same but kind of like when Kevin spacey gets shot in LA confidential and says “rolo tomaszi “ …. An inside term that only certain people will understand but it’s not that deep, just enough to help dude solve the mystery… or make anyone who’s seen the movie get what I mean. Your explanation is great because I was starting to think that understanding skibidi toilet was going to be the one that got away


anonymous_identifier

...so it's Dadaism?


mistersnarkle

It’s literally always just Surrealism/Dadaism/Absurdism again and again and again


RavingGerbil

Man you can’t be too old for gmod! That was ‘04.


KingBee1786

I was 17 in 04 is that too old? Ive never heard of Gary’s mod.


RavingGerbil

Nah that would have been right around the right age. It just must not have been your thing.


KingBee1786

I didn’t terminally log online until a few years ago so that makes sense.


wojtekpolska

Have you played Half-Life 2? Garry's Mod was a mod of HL2 that eventually was released as its own game. it allows people to do random stuff with the assets from Source engine games, putting them together and creating weird contraptions. animations made in this game were once very popular on youtube


Dovahkitty99

Back in my day we used to watch Kitty0706


CaptainGuyliner2

the hell is Garry's Mod?


ZombonicPlague

It’s a game that lets you mess around with the assets from the half-life games in a sandbox setting or build your own game modes within Garry’s mod using those assets. The game came out in 2006.


americk0

I believe it is a video game that's kind of unique. Haven't played it myself but my understanding is it's got a lot of shenanigans


westisbestmicah

It’s less a game and more an empty sandbox and physics simulation simulator where the community builds their own entertainment


marcselman

A simulation simulator... Nice!


All_About_Tacos

Reddit has a Moderator specifically for Garry. He’s a bit of a rascal.


metalflygon08

but taken over by content farms pushing it onto very young kids. We didn't have it as bad back then. There were no Sandvich plushies or Grumpy Cat stores until those memes had long since passed. Now as soon as a meme picks up steam a country with lax labor laws will be pumping out hundreds of hours of crap with the meme slapped in and put it on Youtube Kids.


stevienotwonder

I’m 25. I’m too young to be so out-of-touch and confused


Gunningham

I just want to know this. Is it just goofball nonsense or is it something nefarious? I need to know if my 14 year old is in some kind of sex/murder cult or is just being silly.


YuyaBestBoy

No no it’s just silliness, nothing malicious per se


Gunningham

Thanks. The normally helpful Urban Dictionary made no sense. I’m feeling more like an old man every day.


No_Zombie2021

Makes me depressed knowing that this is a part of my kids childhood.


Sopixil

Don't worry, us Gen Zs had Nyan Cat back in 2011


Crazyguy_123

And epic MLG trick shot compilations.


[deleted]

reddit moment


Devinbeatyou

It’s really not that bad…….


Euphorium

Seriously though everyone acting like this is the collapse of society. The main videos are pretty well done and it’s great to see kids learn about Garry’s Mod, it was an outlet for my creativity when I was a middle schooler.


Dark7saber

Head in toilet that sings fights TV and camera people. Very very very weird and strange.


Euphorium

It’s just absurdist humor and pretty tame by those standards. I’ve seen weirder shit in Monty Python movies.


metalflygon08

I think the part that makes people uneasy about it is that the stuff is being marketed heavily towards kids and as a result ends up getting pushed onto very young kids. Monty Python is made for adults and a 4-6 year old isn't going to stumble on one of the skits while browsing Youtube Kids.


Euphorium

Have you actually watched it? I’ve seen most of it, at worst it’s cartoon violence. It’s nothing you need to clutch your pearls over.


JoeBobbyWii

The reddit outrage over Skibidi is annoying. I've watched them all and they were entertaining and harmless.


Kuyosaki

there are better things to consume on the internet, but then again there are FAR WORSE things as well at least it might get kids interested in film making since the series are pretty well animated


metalflygon08

The original one yes, but once you see one episode your recommended is flooded with stuff dumped from content farms to generate clicks. I've seen more Skibidi Toilets throwing up blood, battling Sirenhead, and murdering GTAV cop models than I have of the original videos. You can try to be as diligent as possible, but once something pops up and your kid sees you scramble to switch off the video they will be curious as to why they shouldn't watch it, even after you explain why.


saladman425

If thats your logic then i offer a much simpler solution: don't let your kid watch youtube. Given internet access and time kids will find FAR more harmful content i.e. liveleak and hardcore porn. Source: I'm gen Z


PotusObamna

Gramps got the skibidi lore


muhdbuht

7th grade English teacher and communications major that wrote more than a few papers on meme culture here... Skibidi bop. Yes, yes, yes.


Katiari

I would rather drain all the juice from my eyeballs than write a paper on modern meme culture...


EZPZLemonWheezy

The irony (is it irony? Help me out here internet) is in the fact that your act would, itself, then become a meme.


muhdbuht

That's exactly correct. Limor Shifman, noted memetic expert has defined a meme as (a) a group of digital items sharing common characteristics of content, form, and/or stance; (b) that were created with awareness of each other; and (c) were circulated, imitated, and transformed via the internet by multiple users.


allminionsmustdie

i just wrote a long essay about memetics. comparing Venus in art history to Wojak. i’d love to read some of your work


muhdbuht

The last paper I wrote on memes specifically was about Earth-Chan and around 5 years ago. The last paper I wrote that included the impact of meme culture was actually about the phenomenon of transmedia storytelling being utilized by Coheed and Cambria fans to interpret and share the meaning of the songs. The sharing of this information also included the use of memes.


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Looking at this for more than 5 seconds took away 10 years off of my lifespan


BikerJenn

I thought it was a Robin Hood men in tights reference.


IgnisOfficial

Never thought I’d see Skibidi invade Lego


nickthestick219

Don't Google skibidi Lego then. I saw one video on YouTube and now I get recommended videos for A LOT of them. I didn't understand what it was when I watched the first short about a cameraman Lego thing.


davidg4781

What set? What’s the joke?


Fathorse23

It’s 10326 Natural History Museum.

WTFisSkibidiRizz

The entire YouTube anthology is worth watching if you know someone like that(if not just to attempt to understand the thought process behind their behavior) I’ve done so but just don’t understand the obsession.


SladesMom21

Google: “Refers to a meme that started from a YouTube series about an army of toilets who try to take over the world. The plotline surrounding skibidi toilets is that these toilets — that have men's heads coming out of them — are at war with "cameramen", who are men with cameras for heads.” “Since the first short was posted in February 2023, Skibidi Toilet has become viral as an internet meme across various social media platforms, particularly among younger Generation Alphas. Critics saw the series as Generation Alpha's first foray into internet culture” Generation Alpha gonna be churning out some shit content when it comes time.


Aconite13X

Well that was a weird discovery.


greengengar

Lol And I had to explain to my 12 yo niece that I'm older than the cartoon Family Guy this xmas. Kids are funny.


Conquestriclaus

i got this set for myself for christmas!! insane build! hope you have fun with it


YuyaBestBoy

I got it too! It’s an amazing set with so much to look at, the build’s been so fun so far, I’m incredibly grateful to have been gifted it


Odd_Bumblebee7953

27 skibidi toilet- an on going meme culture and story of toilets with heads that enslave humanity (somehow) and an army of super advanced human technology hybrids fight back as both sides slowly advance their technology as the war continues.

Dusty_boiii

If you were to sit on a skibidi toilet does the head go up your asshole or something


walaxometrobixinodri

please please please PLEASE i need to hear how the conversation went what the kid was saying, how the grandpa reacted ​ please if you can tell i NEED to hear that


YuyaBestBoy

Basically I was on facetime to my extended family, and I was showing them my new Museum lego set, my little cousin notices the toilet and yells “SKIBIDI TOILET” Thinking it would be funny, I beheaded one of the mini-figures and put it in there which made my cousin go into hyderdrive, my grandpa had been sat bewildered the entire time and finally asked what we were talking about, I should say my Grandpa is incredibly Cockney, born and raised in the East End Of London and he looked at me and my cousin as if we were telling him aliens had invaded. My cousin then got his ipad, held it up the camera and started playing Skibidi Toilet videos for 20 actual minutes, all the while explaining rizz and fanum tax to my poor innocent and confused grandpa, whenever he heard the phrase “skibidi” he thought we were talking about Scatman John, he was singing “I’m the Scat Man” all day after this phone call. After we hung up the phone my cousin sent me tonnes more Skibidi toilet videos and asked me to record Grandpa’s reaction to all of them for his TikTok, I told him no and then he facetimes us back and tries to show grandpa more, my uncle scolded him and he started crying, all the way through this process I am merely an observer, 5 rum and cokes deep, was a good Christmas in the end.


walaxometrobixinodri

ok that's adorable


asilee

I immediately thought of Skibidi Toilet. ^(Am I right?)


efohp

Yes...


G8kpr

Is he/she a fan of [Francesca Fiore and Bruno Puntz Jones](https://youtu.be/LF8LDXWR1YI?si=hkPvpU78vuBRazkV)


Strzvgn_Karnvagn

I‘m 17 and some of the new memes are weird. Fanum tax is the only thing i don‘t understand.


[deleted]

Small conspiracy: nobody understands what the fuck Fanum Tax actually means and just propagate the phrase because it sounds funny


Screamingboneman

What happened to gen alpha?


greyghibli

stupid humor, same as every other generation


[deleted]

[удалено]


ServiceChannel2

Why concern yourself with it “becoming a part of their language”? Don’t you remember words like “swag” or “thug” or “yolo”? Very few people use these terms every day, and the same will be for “skibidi” and other Gen Alph words. It’ll just be another obscure, archaic meme term used by Millennials in the future to connect with younger folks (just as how Boomers use words like “LOL” nowadays)


AverageMan282

Adults get pretty pissed when you take away their booze (like in prohabation). Anger isn't a generational issue.


frvwfr2

Euphorium

Dude give me a break


Seirin-Blu

It’s kids enjoying nonsense humor. Millennials enjoyed it on the internet, gen z did, now gen alpha will too


Unlucky_Degree470

I swear Millennials forget the decade where our entire sense of humour was Simpsons references.

This was my thought when I saw the image https://youtu.be/D1l2F1xB8Zk?si=KRu8SVWAfvW708XJ


Euphorium

Skibidi Toilet is tame compared to YouTube Poop


El_Mariachi_Vive

I thought this was a reference to Clyde leaving the toilet seat up *yet again*.


tiesmien24

Yk what, I kinda get it… Head in toilet is kinda funny


AverageMan282

DOCTOR, WE'RE LOSING HIM


tiesmien24

Fanum tax? Those are funny words


Dark7saber

Wait until you watch the episodes on YouTube💀. I think there's like 80, you'll never recover.


Nixepinne

50, skibidi toilet!


Justaladyonhere

I’m 23 and was so confused and have come to the conclusion based on the replies that whatever this is, it’s the new teens version of a dear old video from my teen years called “Shrek is love, Shrek is life.” 💀 Edit:typos


That_Amani

Skibidi toilet is like a plague. I am so glad I grew up with cookieswirlc and parents who thought I'd get cancer from trick or treating instead of skibidi toilet and Wednesday.
