Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.
Same, and I just thought it was the one video, but now after this post was made I've come to learn there is like hours worth of skibidi toilet videos and I'm blown away. This is no worse than rooster teeth red vs blue, arby n cheef, ytp, or any of the abridged series but as short form video. The kids are alright.
skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now
I actually loved Mad Magazine as a kid. Got into it watching the Cartoon Network show and a relative happened to have a bunch of old mad magazines and a Sega Genesis from when he was a kid. Had a blast playing Sonic and reading Mad Magazine
Some people here might assume that I'm a cantankerous old man.
I mean, I am, but even so, considering how long I taught teenagers, there was no way I didn't absorb some of the Ohio skibidi rizz.
It was fine, even funny to me. If I wanted to dispel it to get the class back on track, all I had to do was recite it back to them and instantly make it cringe.
Just Internet absurdist humor, not sure there's much else to understand. There's badger badger, norwhals, le tired, do the flop, beep beep I'm a sheep, snape snape Severus snape (Dumbledore), grandmas cookies, a slew of fan-dubbed Abridged series. If they don't get it, they're terribly uptight and serious and don't know any joy. Like don't make skibidi your whole personality either but appreciate it's quirkiness and move on to what else exists I guess.
I still maintain that skibidi toilet is very obvious something came up by a zoomer and that it doesn't really resemble stuff that millennials liked back in the day. The fact that it has a plot and an overarching theme while being dystopian already distances itself from lol randumb XD humor.
I think what's happening is that the creator might be a zoomer, but the target audience is gen alpha. It's like how a lot of early Newgrounds stuff were created by gen x but consumed by millennials. The first by-millennials-for-millennials creations were ytp which were created by millennials who were exposed to older Newgrounds stuff.
It's extra cringe for a zoomer to shit on skibidi toilet because it's very much a product of zoomer meme culture.

That's part of why I like it over lolrandom and especially "lol gore is funny" millennial counterparts from the past. The way it develops and expands and escalates that struggle with the Camera Men is fascinating to me.
Skibidi toilet makes more sense than 95% of SFMs from back in the day. Like there's an ongoing storyline and everything. People who hate on it but watched other sfm/ytp nonsense back in the day just have boomer ass mindsets
I'm roughly the same age and don't feel the need to or desire ti understand. A lot of youth culture is about being inscrutable and distinct from older people culture, and that's fine. Let kids have their fun
I have no idea what skibibi toilet is, but that Biden skibibi toilet video was fucking awful. And I think the creator of skibibi toilet has some weird racist shit in his videos?
Idk about the later (I think maybe I heard about that being a rumor that didnt pan out?) but the former was like, not his fault remoty. That was boomers not understanding and making corny latenight comedy out of his stuff lol.
