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

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year 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

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

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.

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?

The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.

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

How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.

[–] prinzmegahertz@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

It’s an awesome war movie with action scenes that go beyond what triple AAA productions like 300 of mad max can deliver and it just keeps going episode after episode.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. How can those things also be popular?

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Absurdist humour will always have fans

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I must have been spared from the other meme toys, this one I noticed.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.

I'm serious.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 1 year ago

Hello serious, I'm dad

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did my friends love Weebl and Bob or Arfenhaus?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they also get their own line of toys?

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You can buy weebl and bob toys right now still.

[–] prinzmegahertz@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

AS others have said, have you tried watching it? I am a millennial and have watched the show about 5 times and it’s just plain awesome.
