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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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."

We had salad fingers

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.

It's just a single emote.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week 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.

They’re already making a film about it, this was inevitable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

That project has been abandoned

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With Michael Bay of all people. Sounds like something out of a comedy sketch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Exploding toilets? I'm there!!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It looks like something I would have mildly chuckled at when I was 12.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week 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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's all because of that damn song sample!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

The dancing fat Turk

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it's good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have watched Skibidi Toilet - Season 1 [FULL SCREEN] my main thoughts are "cool use of source engine", I then watched a random one and at least it has different content so i'll watch some more of it later.

For me the initial clip is a bit meh, but the world building of the random episode looks interesting.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

The lack of any dialogue kinda makes me feel like I have to pay attention otherwise I'd have no clue what's going on.

Yeah I initially wrote it off as absurdist source engine 2010 yup engineer videos. But there's quite a bit more nuance than that.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We're back boys (somewhere I've never been and will never go)

Tim cooked (it's poisoned)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was wondering what you meant by Top 20 until I checked their website. I thought it was just still BR with some variations. It's basically Roblox now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I used this third party website tho. As it displays player count graphs and other things for each """experience""".

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Really interesting video thanks for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

Yep, I remember the old South Park episode about "Internet Dollars" something like 15 years old, and suddenly, people are figuring out how to do just that.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It would require them to individually custom animate every face's 3D mesh to it's absolute extremes.

If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that's if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they'd do it tbh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they can spend the time making sure the stupid dances are right, they can spend the time making this shitty meme right.

If you're gonna do something, do it right or don't do it at all!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm getting the impression that your name isn't exactly misleading.

But I do agree that a limited implementation of a more well executed version would be more interesting. Even if the whole meme is dumb.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I chose my name for a reason.

It's more the speed of the movement that ruins it, it's too slow, speed the animation cycle up a bit and it wouldn't look as bad.

Just put skibidi toilet as a random NPC enemy in the game, I think that would be better, have it be like a random hord that runs through the map

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Huh, Fortnite is the next Family Guy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It feels a bit late...
