A toilet with a human head inside, shaking and spinning around, while singing "Skibidi mmm dop dop yes yes" suddenly shows up, hunts you down, and gets in your face, before everything cuts to black. Sound like a nightmare? A funny dream? The sort of dream that's scary while you're having it, then hilarious once you wake up and actually stop and think about what you just saw?
It's an internet meme. One which, as of this writing (August 2023), brings in millions of views per video within hours after upload. Each episode ranges in length from about 10 seconds to over a minute.
But it's much more than that. In an example of Cerebus Syndrome setting in quickly, it only took about four episodes to change from simple meme comedy to something with an increasingly in-depth plot, with characters and lore, all told without words.
Earth has been invaded. Something has happened to all the humans. Maybe they were all killed. Maybe they were all transformed and assimilated into the invading force. But no normal humans are left. With Earth at the mercy of the invaders, a resistance force tries to fight them off. Each side in this war keeps learning new tricks to try to get the upper hand. When one side finds a trick that works for them, the other side eventually finds a counter to it. With this endless push and pull, there are many casualties, and the war simply rages on, seemingly without end.
That's the basic rundown of a story which is about singing toilets that develop new capabilities such as flight, wall climbing, firing lasers, and parasitic host possession, as they are fought back by an army consisting of human-like individuals with cameras and TVs for heads. The toilets can be defeated through standard violence, but also by flushing them.
It's comedy, it's horror, it's action, and it's packed full of not only plot twists, but also lore that is revealed over time. Have the skibidi toilets taken over the police force and houses of worship? Why is there a monument to a toilet being dragged through town by two smaller toilets?
Maybe it really is the kind of dream that's scary when you're having it, then hilarious once you actually stop and think about what you just saw. Ultimately, this story of parasitic infections, scientists inventing a beam to destroy the parasites so they can save their warriors, invaders developing flight capabilities and more advanced tactics to stop the defending army, in a world in which all normal humans have either died or been changed into the invading horde... is about singing toilets. No wonder it's the popular new thing.
WebAnimation From meme to surprisingly detailed lore, this is as internet a creation as you can get
