    First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn’t have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh

    I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it

      i-think-that I think edgelord Newgrounds humor, where the entire joke was “something gory happens,” were worse anyway.

      Happy Tree Friends, if you want a specific example. nyet

          No one I personally knew that was continually entertained by Happy Tree Friends beyond maybe a single one-off shock humor gimmick wound up being a good person later in life.

          It was not a good time seeing one of those videos, awkwardly laughing at the shock value of it once then getting pressured into watching more and more of pretty much the exact same shock value gimmick over and over and over and over again. Any attempt for me to back out or just do something else was “WHY ARE YOU SO SENSITIVE? WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR?!” smuglord desolate

      Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

              I’m glad we agree there. If there was ever a cartoon portrayal of the idea of “cruelty is the point,” it was Happy Tree Friends. solidarity

                There’s some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.

              I hated it too.

              I’m getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said “this is banned in Cuba!” I was always disgusted by it despite liking “edgy” humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I’m struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs

      Same, and I just thought it was the one video, but now after this post was made I’ve come to learn there is like hours worth of skibidi toilet videos and I’m blown away. This is no worse than rooster teeth red vs blue, arby n cheef, ytp, or any of the abridged series but as short form video. The kids are alright.

      skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty “idiots of gmod” shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn’t get the negative reaction from all the “adults” considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I’m in my thirties now

    Some people here might assume that I’m a cantankerous old man.

    I mean, I am, but even so, considering how long I taught teenagers, there was no way I didn’t absorb some of the Ohio skibidi rizz.

    It was fine, even funny to me. If I wanted to dispel it to get the class back on track, all I had to do was recite it back to them and instantly make it cringe. troll

    Just Internet absurdist humor, not sure there’s much else to understand. There’s badger badger, norwhals, le tired, do the flop, beep beep I’m a sheep, snape snape Severus snape (Dumbledore), grandmas cookies, a slew of fan-dubbed Abridged series. If they don’t get it, they’re terribly uptight and serious and don’t know any joy. Like don’t make skibidi your whole personality either but appreciate it’s quirkiness and move on to what else exists I guess.

    I still maintain that skibidi toilet is very obvious something came up by a zoomer and that it doesn’t really resemble stuff that millennials liked back in the day. The fact that it has a plot and an overarching theme while being dystopian already distances itself from lol randumb XD humor.

    I think what’s happening is that the creator might be a zoomer, but the target audience is gen alpha. It’s like how a lot of early Newgrounds stuff were created by gen x but consumed by millennials. The first by-millennials-for-millennials creations were ytp which were created by millennials who were exposed to older Newgrounds stuff.

    It’s extra cringe for a zoomer to shit on skibidi toilet because it’s very much a product of zoomer meme culture.

      That’s part of why I like it over lolrandom and especially “lol gore is funny” millennial counterparts from the past. The way it develops and expands and escalates that struggle with the Camera Men is fascinating to me.

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it’s a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we’ll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
