But apparently they sell this bullshit in Walgreens. I heard about this thing. But wasn’t it some YouTube craze or something? I mean what the hell is this? My kids laughed and would say this phase couple years ago, but didn’t think it was mainstream enough to warrant this.
I now count myself pretty solidly among the old and uncool. I’ll be honest, the first few times I encountered the words “skibidi toilet” I had assumed it was a nonsense phrase made to make fun of how zoomers talk and not an actual thing they were watching and talking about.
On finding that out, I went to seek it out to hold onto at least a little bit of cultural relevancy with the young folks.
Of course, the original skibidi toilet video left me with the same general “what the fuck did I just watch” reaction that I think literally everyone has.
But I stuck it out for a bit, watched the first few dozen videos (they’re short, it goes quick) and a story started to emerge.
I won’t claim that it was high art or anything, but there was some art to it, I’ve definitely willingly watched and enjoyed much less complex stories.
And don’t get me wrong, it’s dumb, it’s about toilet people. But I watched plenty of dumb shit on new grounds and YouTube and such back in the day. Hell, some of the stuff that made it onto actual TV was pretty damn out-there, my generation had shit like Ren & stimpy, Beavis & Butthead… You know, it might be easier to list shows from the 90s and early 2000s that weren’t fucking weird.
It’s not for me, I’m too old for that shit, but if we had skibidi toilet about 20-25 years ago I’m pretty confident that my weird little ass would have loved the shit out of it.
Oh, see, I chose option B, which required only þe purchase of a deck chair and to warn society of inclement weather þrough use of my elbow which I injured in childhood, and to defend my lawn.
