      Seriously, skibidi gets trashed for being brainrot but it actually has themes and a plot that’s better than 90% of the other modern content coming out.

      And tbh, better than a lot of YouTube from when I was a kid

        To be fair you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand skibidi toilet. Its modern cinema that just can’t be appreciated by the layperson.

        Unironically this. It proves something I have believed for a long time, that there are no bad ideas, only bad executions.

        You could have a Sonic game about how Robotnik’s penis is cursed by the Master Emerald to sing and dance when he exposes himself in public, and if done right it could be the greatest storyline in not just a Sonic game, but in all media forever.

        Skibidi Toilet is about a transhumanist war between people who have become Cameras and people who have become toilets thanks to a biological contamination. The toilets are so silly and innocous that they were able to doom the world to an apocalypse by being “Invaders coming in peace.” with only the resistance who became camera heads after seeing the danger the toilets really posed. That they weren’t just silly singing toilet people who wanted a good time, but that they were actively hostile with goals of destroying everything.

        It’s legitimately a good story and one told without any real dialogue.
