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

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.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] logan_hero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 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

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.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

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.

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.

[–] fishpen0@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months 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.

[–] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (8 children)

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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months 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."

zoomers

Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hey pal, I'm also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.

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.

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

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months 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 32 points 2 months 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 15 points 2 months 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.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months 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.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months 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.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months 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.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 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?

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.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

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

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

Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.

I asked a seven-year-old girl why he's in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You're welcome.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Thank her for me

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ours@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 9 points 2 months ago (9 children)

I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

It's filled w/ MTX that preys on young people's sense of FOMO.

Oh, you're talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don't care one way or another about that.

ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don't know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!

Yeah they have everything, that’s the idea.
