    I think the hate it gets is undeserved, Skibidi Toilet is objectively an impressive achievement of 3d animation and minimal surrealist storytelling, it’s obvious that the person who made it has been doing this for a long time and is very skilled. People are just dismissive because the main target audience is children and not them.

      Watching from the first episode is like watching someone get in their 10,000 hours. Visuals and story telling skills getting just a little bit better every single episode.

    But the meme is on its way out. We’re in ironic enjoyment of how cringe it is right now. Movies going to bomb

    Thank you for clarifying this is, in fact not an Onion article. I saw this earlier and assumed it was a joke.

    It’s still a joke, but it’s also real. Fuck.

    I’m not gonna be “that guy”, but I remember watching dafuq’s animations years before skibidi toilet was a thing.

    Who owns all the cgi models/props, and will the creators of the cgi models/props be paid?

    I’m imagining conversations with the costume department.

    • So half of the actors will be wearing a full toilet costume
    • A what?!
    • Yes, only their head should stick out, but make it completely mobile. And also appropriate for stunts

    Before today I had no idea what a Skibidi Toilet was, and now I’ve got close to two hours of content under my belt.

    I’m genuinely impressed by the attempt to tell an overarching narrative through “found footage” from multiple authors witnessing a war with rapidly advancing technology, with the trimmings of conspiracy, infighting and betrayal, all without words, and no more than 3 emotes (thumbs up, zoomer dance, finger wag).

    I can’t say that it’s good by any means, other than as a display of talent for animation and direction.

    Still, I have no idea how they could pull this off.

    Sure, our timeline is fucked, and the weirdest shit happens all the time. But a profitable movie about sentient toilet heads in a war against camera heads is not on a single persons bingo card.
