Is "Skibidi toilet" culture ruining the next generation?

Updated: Oct 10


We need to talk about Skibidi Toilet. Yes, you read that right—Skibidi. Toilet. This YouTube series has taken the internet by storm, especially with the younger crowd, and, honestly, it’s as weird as it sounds. Created by DaFuq!?Boom! (fitting name, by the way), it’s a fever dream of CGI toilets with human heads waging war against...camera-headed people. Yep. The internet just keeps getting weirder.


Now, why is this chaotic monstrosity so popular with kids? Simple. It’s random, fast, and about as absurd as you can get. Think TikTok on steroids, with 30-second episodes packed with more WTF moments than you’d expect from a whole season of TV. Kids love it because it’s unpredictable.


How do we protect the next gen form this utter crap?


Every second brings a new visual joke or strange sound effect, and in a world where attention spans are shrinking by the day, Skibidi Toilet delivers exactly what they’re looking for—endless, mindless, meme-worthy content.


But here’s the kicker: a lot of parents (and people who spend more than five minutes thinking about this stuff) are starting to worry. And not without reason. For starters, the show’s imagery isn’t exactly rainbows and butterflies. It’s weird, sure, but it also leans into the grotesque—think bulging eyes, violent clashes, and, of course, literal toilet humor. What’s worse? It’s all wrapped up in a chaotic package that just keeps hammering you with fast-paced randomness.

Experts are raising some valid red flags here. The concern? Well, young, impressionable brains soaking in this kind of overstimulation could become desensitized to things like violence or just weird, disturbing visuals.


It’s like giving a kid an all-you-can-eat candy buffet and wondering why they can’t sit still afterward. And that’s not even touching on how this stuff might be training kids to expect constant action and chaos, which doesn’t exactly help with their already fragile attention spans.

So, yeah, while Skibidi Toilet might be the next big thing in meme culture, we’ve got to ask ourselves: is this really what we want our kids to binge? Just something to think about while you’re scrolling past yet another Skibidi clip on your feed.


The only positive to come out of this was 29 year old Turkish Farmer turned viral sensation was Yasin Sengus
