Skibidi Toilet is just Madness Combat with toilets and TVs instead of blood.
Too young to remember all the 90s kids acting like Beavis and Butthead on the bus? Too young to remember hearing people yell beefcake in the hall and being toxic as all fuck because the South Park episode they saw the night before? Did you not have a kid at your school seriously injure themselves doing something on Jackass?
How about get the fuck off my lawn.
back in my day, our shitheads were cultured shitheads!
No, I can assure you they were just shitheads. Just a different flavor of shithead.
Isn’t the kid reading his book remarkable in the movie? Like, Dr. Grant’s whole deal with these kids is realizing not all kids™ are bad, and this is the first denial of his expectations?
yes… also, all generations have stupid slang that doesn’t make any sense by itself, and they drop most of it as the get older….
Anon wants people off his lawn.
This generational hatred will never end.
Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.
Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn are Gen Z things. As a Millennial I was well into my teens by the time that stuff came out. My generation’s memes predate YouTube.
Pretty sure annoying orange was a gen Z thing, as I, a gen Z kid was addicted to annoying orange at 7 or so. I hated Fred though his voice was so damn annoying. I like his current channel though, felt crazy when I saw him as an adult and not screaming. Now he’s doing shitty vacation trips 😀👍
UK kids in the early 2000s also had “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow”. Basically two comedians doing funny shit to entertain kids for hours every Saturday morning. They had a game called “Bogies” which was just about the two of them going to a calm place like a library or a restaurant and seeing who could muster the courage to shout “bogies” the loudest. Honestly, it’s pretty funny, but it justly caused a lot of outrage as well as kids were emulating it all over.

Erm… You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I’m on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.
Only minorly on that front. I’m right on the youngest end of the millenials, and I was 15 when it first surfaced. It took only a couple years for Cartoon Network to pick it up, so it definitely captured an audience, though it may have been a mix of zoomers and the latest millennials. But it certainly doesn’t detract from my point, and it can definitely be substituted for stuff like Homestar Runner or Salad Fingers.
Depending on who you ask, millennial ends around 1996. Annoying orange came around in 2009, when that portion of the ‘generation’ would be 13 years old.
I was 13 and I found it pretty obnoxious.
Gen X here and my boomer friends in US educational circles normally pointed out the Socrates quote but they stopped doing that a few years ago. Social media has devastated the ability of young Americans to think critically according to most.
I have to imagine it’s because Socrates also believed that writing and reading information harmed our thinking. He thought that memory was the most important, and expected oral recollections of all his teachings.
…which definitely sounds like more criticism of youth 😂
It makes a generation feel special if they are convinced that they are enduring something extraordinary. Every single generation has had plenty to complain about but the loudest will be the current generation of course.
Playing outside became too dangerous and putting kids in front of screens became too easy. We got what we paid for.
Correction: People think that playing outside became too dangerous, but all kinds of crime stats are down since the 90s. Social norms changed to make people think there is more danger due to all the post-911 fear propaganda.
You’re right, but both can be true at the same time - if your acceptable level of risk is zero then playing outside is too dangerous
Don’t forget the satanic panic of the 80’s!
Plato in 300: kids today!!! 😡
I remember being a child back then. Every little girl knew unix.
And specifically SGI UNIX, right?
Of course; what other filthy variant would children learn? /s
Wat. Kids in the 2020s would be reciting facts from watching hours of Wild Kratts.
Look man, if Grants book didn’t have awesome dino illustrations, I’m calling this kids bluff. Even I had a dino book at that age (bit older than this…kid…man? This movies old) I still only looked at the pictures
Art critic of a German newspaper reacting to Skibidi Toilet.
Pretty enlightening. He loves it says it’s nothing but “standard” surrealism. He can spot references to surrealist movies and speculates that the author has seen them and is at least referencing them subconsciously. In the end he decries that Skibidi Toilet seems to become too mainstream and is selling out with merchandise.
That’s entirely accurate from what little I have personally seen.
Yeah, when I bit the bullet and watched it to see what the fuzz is about I was very surprised how competent it is.
You grew old, thats what happened.
Epic win! Lol!
All your base are belong to us.
Ceiling cat is watchingEtc, etc.
Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
That is true though.

That is kids in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s, not the 1990’s
Yeah, I’m sitting here like “memes? Motherfucker most people didn’t have internet in '94”. The same year JP came out, everyone was distributing shareware copies of Doom on floppy disks.
No we had kids yelling bits from the jerky boys, adam sandler nonsense, and ceaselessly yelling lines from movies, often times ones they hadn’t even seen, but some line became what we would call a meme today.
I am not saying social media hasn’t had a negative impact on kids, but slop entertainment isn’t the big problem. Also all of the big issues of social media are just one aspect of things that have been moving in this direction for decades now.
Lines from commercials too. Wazuuuuuuuuuuup!?
Yeah, that one made me want to scratch my eyes out, after a while.
Our copy of doom had a handwritten label
Legit.
“All your base are belong to us” is from the like '92
Memes weren’t a thing in 92. Or their rough equivalent certainly weren’t called memes.
No but there was ASCII art and image macros. They just didn’t really have a name.
Before 2003ish, they were called “fads”! At least on YTMND, and SA.

From Know Your Meme:
“All Your Base Are Belong to Us” is a popular engrish catchphrase that grew popular across the internet as early as in 1998. An awkward translation of “all of your bases are now under our control”, the quote originally appeared in the opening dialogue of Zero Wing, a 16-bit shoot’em up game released in 1989. Marked by poor grammar, the “All Your Base” phrase and the dialogue scene went viral on popular discussion forums in 2000, spawning thousands of image macros and flash animations featuring the slogan both on the web and in real life.
The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1992 port of the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing, released on the SEGA Mega Drive.
So, the saying DOES come from 1992, but the internet meme formation did not happen until 1998.
I was wrong of when that meme started, but I do remember the meme when I was playing ROBLOX in 2008. Also, memes use to last a lot longer then they do now as well. But thank you for correctly correcting me 👍
Yeah… I’m that old man on the porch yelling about how you kids read about that shit, but I lived through it. Of course there wasn’t a meme of it in 1992 because 56 kbps was considered blazing fast internet. You could literally watch an image being drawn line by line in your web browser. Our main form of social media back then was a fucking mixtape.
Did not reach widespread knowledge until 2001
It’s hard to find any fault in you for that. I’m so sorry you had to go through that situation, but I’m glad you’re still here with us. You are stronger than most.
Not the '90s
“back in my day we read books, not like those young whippersnappers nowadays”
I can’t read that word without thinking about Phoenix Wright anymore.
Poor Ms. Oldbag.
I started playing with my partner recently. We’re each voice acting the characters. It’s been a wonderful experience! Just about at the end of the first game, I think we’re at the end of the final trial. I hope the second and third games are as good as the first!
Every generation needs to distance itself from their progenitors in some original manner, language is the easiest to adapt.
