Skibidi Toilet series

Skibidi Toilet (Georgian: სკიბიდი ტუალეტი, Romanized as: Skibidi Toilet) is a 2023 Georgian machinima animated web series created by a YouTuber and Animator, Alexey Gerasimov, better known as DaFuq!?Boom! for YouTube. The series is solely produced by Alexey himself. The series follows the conflict between singing human-headed toilets—the titular "Skibidi Toilets"—and a large group of Mechanical Cyborgs and Sentient Robots with CCTV cameras, speakers, and televisions in place of their heads called The Alliance. the Skibidi Toilets, and their leader G-Toilet, threaten humanity and had conquered the world and latter antagonists, the Astro Toilets would soon appear in the series, and it is up to the Alliance to stop the toilets to save the world.
The first episode came out on February 7, 2023 as a 10 second YouTube short. The show was initially only created as a joke video by its creator but had since become one of the most popular web series on the platform. The series has currently aired 76 episodes and 25 Seasons, resulting it being of 1 hour and 40 minutes long.
Episodes will usually come out within 6 days to about a few weeks. They are then grouped into a Season, consisting of 3 episodes each (excluding Seasons 1 & 2 which had 4). Due to the 60 second limit YouTube only allowing each of the episodes are cut by a fraction; so, it is recommended to watch earlier episodes individually. These earlier episodes (etc. 1-5) have a full-screen form in DaFuq!?Boom!'s main videos, revealing hidden details that could not make it in Shorts. Prior to Episode 39, Episodes were exclusively in short form and had shorter runtimes, these shorts would come out almost daily. Ever since Episode 39, full-screen versions of episodes are released before the short-form versions of the episodes. The episodes are largely dialogue-free with older episodes only having lyrics from the Skibidi Toilet's and Speakermen's respective anthems. Cryptic, reversed lines were later implemented with the introduction of the TV Men and the Secret Agent monologue in later episodes.
The series began to surge in popularity on YouTube Shorts as more episodes were produced and released, garnering tens of millions of views per episode, with some episodes exceeding hundreds of millions of views. The series is predominantly popular among Generation Alpha (born between 2012 and 2025) due to its eye-catching animations, unique character designs, and fast-paced nature. As of November 2023, YouTube videos associated with Skibidi Toilet have accumulated over 65 billion views.

===Introduction===
thumb|253x253pxThe largely dialogue-free series depicts a conflict between singing human-headed toilets—the titular "Skibidi Toilets"—and humanoids with CCTV cameras, speakers, and televisions in place of their heads called, The Alliance. Set in a fairly recent Dystopian past, sometime after the mid-1980s, the Skibidi Toilets, and their leader G-Man, had taken over the world, infecting most Humans and turning them into their own kind in the process. Two types of humanoids, Cameramen and Speakermen, form an alliance against the toilets, TV Men will also be later introduced later on in the series. Each has one of its kind that is much larger than the rest, termed "the titans". A new race of toilets would also later appear in the later seasons called the "Astro Toilets", a rouge splinter group who separated from the main Skibidi toilets for reasons still yet to be answered. Humans will also make a return later on in the series and are revealed to play a minor role in the series.

==Production and Origins==
Alexey initially began to work on creating the series in late January 2023 as a joke video made on the free animation software, Source Filmmaker (SFM) which was mostly inspired by him having nightmares involving "heads coming out of toilets."https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2024/02/21/skibidi-toilet-creator-talks-inspiration-dreams-and-insane-ending/?sh=9f4a016799f1 Gerasimov was still having dreams about the toilet, and someone told him to try to battle the toilet heads, even if it was only virtually. Based on the truth of these nightmares, Gerasimov believes that a lot of people can relate to his videos, and made the series based off on it. Aleksey also took inspiration from the video game, Half-Life and the Movie Franchise, Transformers. 
A video on his channel called "STUCK IN A PISSMARE (SFM)" which released a few months before the series' premiere, was heavily inspired by these surreal nightmares. This video along with a short titled "skibidi bop yes yes yes" which released a few days prior to the release of Skibidi Toilet presumably foreshadowed the series debut. The series also takes inspiration from Aleksey's other projects, The concept of the hardware heads/ were first shown in a now deleted music video from 2021 titled "Blugray - Demand", and a 2021 miniseries called "dafuq" where random assets and objects are put together to create strange and bizarre creatures, with the second segment of the series featuring a Male_07 model mixed up with a toilet, thus creating an entity resembling a Skibidi Toilet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW2aKAKE5zE&pp=ygUHZGFmdXEgMQ%3D%3D 
==Setting==
The series takes place in a dark, apocalyptic earth sometime after the year 1985 with the Skibidi Toilets and the Alliance fighting and engaging in a large global conflict with many episodes taking place all over the world, mostly destroyed and in ruins. The series also features an eerie, gritty, sci-fi tone representing the mass conflict between the sides.
Early episodes mostly took place in the City and in New York City. The conflict had later spread to all over the globe creating mass destruction and chaos.
As a cartoon, it includes many unrealistic occurrences that could not happen in the real world such as in early episodes where Skibidi toilets had the ability to fly naturally and teleportation.
==Characters==
The series primarily centers around the titular antagonists, known as the "Skibidi Toilets." These strange and often aggressive creatures are characterized by humanoid heads that chant, emerging from toilet bowls. Despite their initially bizarre and brutish behavior, they are later revealed to be highly intelligent and far more formidable than many had assumed.
The Skibidi Toilets possess a diverse and impressive arsenal of weaponry. This includes an array of tools and devices, ranging from buzzsaws and acid to lasers and even photon energy. Their advanced technological capabilities are attributed to their secretive and highly innovative science division, which continually develops new and powerful weapons.
== Reception==
The rise of "Skibidi Toilet" can be largely attributed to its success on YouTube Shorts. As more episodes were produced and released, the series garnered tens of millions of views per episode, with some episodes exceeding hundreds of millions. As of November 2023, YouTube videos associated with "Skibidi Toilet" had accumulated over 65 billion views—a staggering number considering the global population of around 8 billion, although this figure includes many repeat viewers.
Initially flying under the radar, "Skibidi Toilet" experienced an explosion in popularity between early May to June 2023. This surge bought the series into the mainstream, making it a household name and one of the most influential indie animations of the 2020s. The unique combination of eye-catching animations, complex character designs, and fast-paced storytelling resonated particularly well with Generation Alpha, the cohort born between 2012 and 2025.
The series' appeal to Generation Alpha is evident in its vibrant visuals and dynamic pacing, which align with the preferences of this digital-native generation. Despite not being featured on YouTube Kids, an app tailored for children under 13, "Skibidi Toilet" found a dedicated audience among elementary school students. The series' influence extended beyond passive viewership, inspiring a wave of fan-generated content, including fanart, animations, games, fan fiction, and even fanmade series—often referred to as "multiverses" by the community with some of them garnering huge success and millions of views.
===Controversy and Criticism===
Some parental websites and Southeast Asian newspapers raised concerns about the series' violent and bizarre visuals, coining the term "Skibidi toilet syndrome" to describe its purportedly harmful effects on young children. These claims, though lacking substantial evidence, have sparked debate about the appropriateness of the content for its predominantly young audience. Critics argue that the exaggerated nature of these claims overshadows the creative and humorous intent behind the series.
Skibidi Toilet has made a major impact to modern internet culture and indie animation in general. Its blend of absurdity, humor, and eye-catching animation accumulated millions of fans but also inspired a wave of creative expression among its community. While it faces criticism for its content, the series' influence on internet culture and its status as a beloved indie animation highlight its remarkable journey from a creator's surreal nightmares to a global internet sensation.
==Trivia==
* Since Episode 50, the animation quality of the series has been significantly increasing. 
* The main lore of the series started at Episode 7, because the first Cameraman can be seen in the reflection.
* Most newer episodes have weird descriptions that don't fit with the Episode such as "what", and "ahhhhhhhhh". This is possibly due to the fact that DaFuq!?Boom! does not want to spoil the Episode's plot.
* Publishing of shorts videos are stopped after episode 71, possibly due to the long episodes become hard to fit into shorts thanks to the 60 second limit.
* Splitting of Episodes into parts were only used for special episodes prior to Episode 67 but has now became much more common.
