Before we criticize the zoomers let's remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?

zoomers

Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 4 points 3 days ago

Hey pal, I'm also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

It's actually really good! It's a classic case of things getting popular and cringe fans. Undertale is another big example of this, at least the first few years it was out. I guess Minecraft too, at times.

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."

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.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

I'm sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.

[-] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Can't argue with that.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Badger badger badger. Explain that shit to a boomer

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I was going to mention ytmnd. Thank you.

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

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

We had salad fingers

[-] azalty@jlai.lu 9 points 3 days ago

I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

It's filled w/ MTX that preys on young people's sense of FOMO.

Oh, you're talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don't care one way or another about that.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

People are just tired of brain rot in general

[-] Lennny@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

And yet we all fiended for a new reddit. Sometimes rot is good, it makes alcohol after all.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Rot is an essential part of our digestive process, assuming rot just means biological processes converting food from one state to a generally less appetizing state.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Because it reminds them that they are an old now.

I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don't know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry's Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.

It's actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it's their obsession with it that's annoying moreso than the content.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 80 points 4 days ago

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (i don't watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)

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.

[-] fishpen0@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth

[-] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

Valve has been rather quiet about the use of male_07 by Dafuq.

I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?

[-] jerakor@startrek.website 12 points 3 days ago

How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.

It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.

I'm serious.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Hello serious, I'm dad

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird

[-] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 4 days ago

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

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago

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.

Yeah they have everything, that’s the idea.

[-] monke@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

We got skibidi toilet fortnite before GTA 6.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Fortnite was already fucking stupid 🤷‍♂️

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

i will be getting this.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 19 points 4 days ago

That animation is shit, it's slow and doesn't have the weirdness the OG has. You ruined a shitty meme fortnite, well done.
