What is ‘Skibidi Toilet’?
Skibidi Toilet is an animated series that showcases bizarre, singing toilet characters involved in a chaotic conflict against a legion of robotic figures, some of which have cameras for heads.
Skibidi Toilet has gained immense popularity on YouTube and has spread across the internet, inspiring various homages, fan animations, and memes. Parents may find the series perplexing, yet Skibidi Toilet is more straightforward than it appears.
The series was developed by Georgian animator Alexey Gerasimov, who uploads each episode to his YouTube channel, DaFuq!?Wow!
Gerasimov began his narrative with an 11-second YouTube short, showcasing a head rising from a toilet, performing remixed lyrics to a Biser King song, which was initially sampled from a TikTok meme.
The straightforward short gained widespread attention, prompting Gerasimov to elaborate on the narrative, ultimately evolving into an extensive saga of a devastating war. Gerasimov has pointed to Michael Bay’s Transformers films and his own recurring nightmares as significant influences for his series.
Since its inception, Skibidi Toilet has been developed using Valve’s Source Filmmaker, an animation and editing tool that includes assets from various Valve games, including Half-Life.
