Skibidi Toilet is a serious of SFM shorts that became popular with young kids. Think in the same vein as the weird flash videos or early SFM videos that were popular with young kids 10-15 years ago. “Skibidi” doesn’t mean anything and is just taken from that.
It does mean something.
The skibidi toilet “creatures” are considered the antagonists, and the word is associated with their traits.
- creepy
- gross
- scary
- weird
Its an insult to and pretty much interchangeably with “creepy” with a splash of “cringe”
Often paired with “ohio” which means “bland” / " boring" / “mid”
Example:
“Yo he got that skibidi Ohio rizz”
Translation:
“This dude has zero game, in fact he is creepy and weird and has negative charisma, people find him repulsive and boring”
Damn, skibidi ohio rizz has a much more devastating connotation than I expected

I’ve never seen that association with my friends who use it. It’s always been more of a meme word, a meaningless adjective you throw into a sentence to make it “funnier.”
What is SFM
Source Filmmaker - basically the tech used in Valve’s games (IE Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Gmod) but repurposed into an easy to use animation tool. Valve used it quite a bit for their content but it was also popular among amateur animators since it was easy to use and had bunch of ready-to-use resources from Valve’s games.
Source film maker
It is a digital software that people can use to make digitally animated films. It utilizes a video game engine developed by Valve called Source.
It’s also worth mentioning that Source filmmaker is also developed by Valve.
Honestly the entire thing evolved quickly from silly random humor to a full-blown story with recognizable characters and drama.
Now, what’s SFM?
Source Film Maker, 3D animation software based on source engine which was used for games like Portal and Team Fortress 2.
Thank you! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a decade or so!
I watched an episode or two, and it’s basically the current generation’s version of GMod Idiot Box.
Skibidi Toilet is this generation’s War and Peace
…and it’s all subconscious representations of feelings about the internet.
It makes some users into toilet brained idiots. Perverts looking to gorge themselves on internet filth.
It reveals people as political agents if governments.
It shows some are just “camera men” viewers, recorders, uploaders, and others are speakers trying to say something.
It questions what can be ridiculous in this new arena - if anything in an age defined by the scale of your “influence”… And how that causes our drama chips to go haywire.
The art style is known as Machinima, and dates back to the early 90s.
Humans actually have trouble saying things that aren’t meaningful - our subconscious tends to always have something to say due to always having to hold things back. It’s just who we are.
I love the last paragraph.

Gen X guy here. This is literally the first time I have come across the word “skibidi”. I simultaneously wish I could help you, and glad I don’t know what that asinine word means.
Gen X really are just boomers in waiting.
So is EVERY generation.
Edit: apparently some people refuse to accept the concept of linear time. Seems a bit quixotic to me, but okay.
Millennials are in the “Oh fuck I’m ‘the Man’ now” phase.
Are we? Still too poor to own stuff because generations before us are hoarding riches like they could take them to the grave.
Most of us have sold our souls to corporate overlords to put scraps on the table and keep leaking rooves above our heads. We’re not the ruling class but we’re the drones who aren’t allowed to be fun anymore.
That, and to the youth of today, we’re now supposed to be the old people who don’t get them, like how our parents had no clue what was up with the Pokemans.
I used to teach in public schools in the area, but even outside of that environment I know enough about what the students are into and how they talk, because yeah, I spend a lot of time online and play video games and live and breathe memes. But you can never let kids think you’re trying to be hip by letting them know you like the same things they like, because in most cases that just ruins it for them. They obviously want their own circles, and we are by necessity outside of it.
Yeah it’s like “Oh fuck I should be The Man by now what the fuck is going on?”
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. And it’ll happen to you too!
Waiting for those fuckers to retire? You bet.
Try living in the shadow of boomers with no support. We were helpless (okokok; also apathetic). I for one am glad to have the backup of the following generations. Even if each successive generation is more inscrutable to me than the previous.
Every generation has slang.
Yup. They have every right to call the slang I grew up with asinine, too. In fact, it would be weird if they didn’t.
It kind of amazes me that a few words, like “cool”, have stood the test of time. They’re outliers, though.

While others did explain skibidi toilet, I think it would be good to step back a little to what popularised the… sound? “skibidi”.
Some Turkish dude used this part of a song in his belly dance video. I am talking about a bouncy belly. This is a repost of that: https://youtube.com/shorts/3-RlRmYshCQ
He then later posted more similar videos, becoming a meme.As for the song, this is it: https://youtu.be/0U7SBGBCoGs
“Skibidy” predates this song by a long shot. It’s a common vocalization used in a lot of scat singing, so it’s possibly a century old at this point.
Sup. But I was referring specifically to this instance of it as these memes use that sound specifically from this song or remixes of it.
Ohhh, I gotcha, I think I misread your earlier comment at first, my bad!
There was a now passed MC who was a prominent figure in 00s jungle called MC Skibadee.
My tween will try to be edgy by saying “you’re so skibidi” to siblings.
I’m a millennial who doesn’t really know.
But. It seems like the duck billed platypus of zoomer humor. YouTube pays for views. And people just make million of videos. And this one happened to catch on. And it’s so bizarre people show it to their friends. Hilarity ensues. 🤷
Its what the blind algorithm hath brought us.
Gen Z here. Even I have no idea
welcome to feeling old. (well. older.)
