I'm more surprised that it wasn't already there.

We got skibidi toilet fortnite before GTA 6.
It would be easier to count the character skins that are NOT in Fortnite.
Fortnite was already fucking stupid 🤷♂️
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.
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (i don't watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)
I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.

Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.
This video from tale foundry touches on this.
Let kids be kids, and enjoy their lore like we did when we were young. It's just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

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.
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.
Before we criticize the zoomers let's remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers
Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?
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.
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.
zoomers
Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

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.
CoreyLaddo on YouTube. He's a true SFM animator and a damn good one.
I'm sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.
And also with context.
Can't argue with that.

I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?
have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird
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
Isn't it absurdist horror?
These kids seem way more into horror than I've ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin's kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.
Nah, it's a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.
Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?

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.

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.

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

Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.
I asked a seven-year-old girl why he's in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You're welcome.
