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, kids these days. Like, I knew that I shouldn’t disregard slang as meaningless just because I don’t understand it, but I’m realising how despite knowing this, I’ve probably been subconsciously dismissive. TIL, thank you.
Damn, skibidi ohio rizz has a much more devastating connotation than I expected

It’s literally just gibberish and jump scares.
I watched way the fuck too many of those shorts, trying to figure out what the appeal was.
I guess the appeal is the same as any dumb youthful “OMG SO RANDOM” humor.
CHARLIE THE UNICORN OMG SO RANDOM!!!
So, yeah, it’s just as fucking dumb as the dumb shit we laughed at when we were kids.
EDIT: u/lukmly013 adds some important context to the source of the word “Skibidi.”
Charlie the Unicorn had a coherent plot and humor structure. It wasn’t “lol random.” Maybe you’re thinking of Llamas in Hats.
I mean, to be fair, the same can be said for this, too. Skibidi Toilets actually has a coherent plot and characters if you’re paying attention.
I promise you, if you came across Charlie the Unicorn for the first time as an adult, you would describe it similarly.
Chaaaaarlieeeeeee…
Let’s go to candy mountain charlieeeeee
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!
What is SFM
I watched an episode or two, and it’s basically the current generation’s version of GMod Idiot Box.
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.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. And it’ll happen to you too!
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.

You must learn to skibdi your Ohio to gyatt Kim wexler feet pics shortie you will become a skibdi rizzler sigma like me top g
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.
Ha, true.
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Hadn’t thought about this in years but you mentioning it had my mind mainlining the song.
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.
Wanna be more confused by Skibidi? Check out the video for Skibidi by Little Big
I came to write that: it’s a masterpiece, and Little Big has more!
I’ll never forgive Covid for the Eurovision it took from us. Little Big was supposed to represent Russia in 2020
Probably since the author is russian (?) that’s where they took it from. But it was interesting to learn that it’s a common phrase for a range of artists.
Russian didn’t have this word before Little Big either, for all I know.
It doesn’t actually mean anything, just a cool set of sounds
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.
