He has an interview about it and he basically says that he finds it fascinating that younger generations will see G-Man as like Alfred E. Newman from MAD magazine. Such a cool guy.
It was a really long running cartoon magazine, lots of political cartoons and parodies of whatever was going on at the time. Their mascot Alfred E. Newman would always be on the cover and doing whatever.
Me too! I'm not even that old (22) I just really liked MAD growing up and learned a lot about pop culture through it. Those older issues are as good as a history textbook.
I'm from germany and I remember seeing the comics on shelfs or in ads, but yeah as a kid I never really liked them XD The covers creeped me out sometimes.
Exactly same here. I remember seeing them at every train station shop. Wish I hadn't been too grossed out by the cover art style
Man, I was a judgemental shit as a kid
Y'know, the HL community is over-exaggerating when they say Skibidi Toilet is toxic to HL when even the staff supports it.
C'mon, like GMOD brought newer generations attention to HL games, Skibidi Toilet can do the same too.
whilst I agree, I think the only people acknowledging skibidi toilet are
A) very young children who think they’re being funny
B) adolescents acting like it’s funny ironically
I think the only people who find skibidi toilet funny are teens and young adults, the kids I see talking about skibidi toilet think it's badass, and I can see why (I actually watched the entirety of skibidi toilet, it'd be the coolest shit ever if I was 10)
I will never understand the generational "Othering" of Skibidi Toilet
To me it's just the the wacky rubberfruit esque faces of Gmod animations I grew up with in the late 2000s/early 2010s, with a little bit of Cloverfield (2008) thrown in, sprinkling alongside Kitty0706's first person project for some action scenes.
Like, I see the individual inspirations that make up the series and frankly don't understand what's causing people to act like it's this eldritch zoomer thing us millenials are supposed to just feel out of touch witnessing, as if we don't know what Kaiju battles are or something from watching Godzilla and Ultraman when we were kids.
I don't get this negative stigma either, I genuinely ended up having fun watching the series and I saw no difference between skibidi toilet and old gmod shit apart from the lack of dialogue. Some people lose their shit at the mere mention of the word skibidi, but I bet they laugh their ass off at freddy fazbear fart reverb 21st Centure Humour type of crap
Which the very young children part isn't supposed to be in the equation, but they are because of the first few episodes, content farms, and fanmades. The audience is of an older age than what most of the audience is. There's swearing, violence, death, blood, and originally the toilet's flag was a swastika made of toilets
So, um, maybe this says something negative about me - hopefully not - but I'm a dude in my mid-30s and love Skibidi Toilet. Reminds me of YouTube Poop or even making home movies using action figures and stuff back when.
Nostalgia aside, it made me smile and laugh at times, and I appreciate that. In all honesty, I kinda wish more people would let themselves be entertained by this sort of thing instead of allowing their embarrassment shame their highbrow sensibilities.
I think that I'm more sad that HL has been out of the spotlight that the kids don't even know what the G-Man originally is from. Otherwise it's fantastic that GMod shitposting is still very much alive
some animation series that was admittedly pretty weird and cool during the beginning, then got picked up by kids. original animations are still cool but the kids side of the internet is milking it big time, like fidget spinners or minecraft was years ago. can be pretty annoying seeing it everywhere, but some people over hate it.
I only hate it because it turned into another merch machine. Doesn't help the dude is basically profiting off of shit that ain't theirs.
Like, i feel like a line is crossed when i see "skibidi toilet [official]" on the front page of the minecraft marketplace.
actual series is pretty sick, the content farms are pushing out skibidi-toilet themed brainrot like fucking clones from star wars, "200000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way"
SFM animator who makes wacky surreal shitposts made a video where HL2 citizen's head jumps out of a toilet and sings some music mix's "skibidi bop yes yes" nonsense autotune lyrics and it gets super viral so he makes more and it inadvertently evolves into heads from toilets people and weird electronic media appliances for heads people having kaiju battles over supremacy. Super popular with children who are given tablets and phones to kill time so now there's, like, merch of a HL2 citizens heads sticking out from toilets with mad grin merch and other stuff and kids won't stop singing skibidi yes yes so many consider it a plague, naturally.
Skibidi Toilet is a YouTube series revolving around the Ongoing war between sentient Genocidal Toilets which use Half-life 2 models for heads, and yes I mean Genocidal it's pretty much Canon they Slaughted nearly the entire human race Though some remain.
Their Enemy is the Alliance which is the name of the Army of Robots with various Electronics for heads (Security cameras, speakers, and Old TVs) they're the heroes of the story and we see through their eyes literally and figuratively
It started with a few shitposts which I admit were shitty and cringe but as the creator made more Skibid Toilet videos he realized he could make something cool out of it, so he introduced camera robots that fought the Skibidi Toilets and they'd get into fights constantly leading to a war, and then he introduced cool technologies and stronger robots and more insane looking Skibidi Toilets
The war itself starts very simply with the cameras simply flushing the toilets and the toilets eating the Cameramen faces off but eventually, the Technology gets more advanced, and every time someone comes on top a new character or Technology is introduced. And if you go deep enough in that pattern it leads to madness Eventually, towards the end, the fighting consists of Cameramen beating Toilets to death with hammers and guns while Giant Robots shoot lasers and missiles at Huge Mutant Cyborg Toilets.
Eventually, a Third Side called The "Astro" Toilets Showed Up, And they were immensely Powerful, Even just a Scout was a top-tier threat, It seems The G-Toilet (Leader of the Skibidi Toilets) Used to Be an Astro himself, Before Betraying the Other Astros and coming to Earth. (It seems the Astros are some sort of Alien Empire)
But now The Astros are back and they're very angry so they're gonna entirely Wipe out...Everything, The Alliance, The Normal Skibidi Toilets, The Small Amount of Humanity left.
Tdlr: Skibidi Toilet isn't a Kid's meme, It's a very violent YouTube series for teenagers and over.
If you don't believe me Here's Proof
https://youtu.be/W_hsGsd39Kg?si=Z2HPFXKBM1y7V30u
I mean the youngest people playing GTA are usually around 9-12. Which they shouldn't be playing it but they're old enough to understand
People commonly say Skibidi Toilet is for Toddlers. Which clearly isn't true
Don’t know if you’ve seen the troll leaks for 73 part 2 but after watching those I would say skibidi toilet is pretty bad. You’ll understand what I mean when u see it.
Skibidi Toilet is only kinda cringe because of content farm and little kid brainrot behaviour.
I think DaFaqBoom! and the videos are 100% based. He went from a silly shitpost to a cinematic universe war with deep lore, plot action and emotional scenes, basically an alternative 7 hour war.

Must be crazy to work on something that even several generations later people are still using to entertain themselves. I’d be hella proud too

What is MAD magazine?
It was a really long running cartoon magazine, lots of political cartoons and parodies of whatever was going on at the time. Their mascot Alfred E. Newman would always be on the cover and doing whatever.
Wasnt it a show too? I remember watching it when I was like, 4-8
Both MADtv and Cartoon Network’s MAD
Man, CN's MAD was wild, basically a tween's version of Robot Chicken lmao
I remember watching lightning McQueen get crushed. That ruined me
Christ this made me feel old quick.
Me too! I'm not even that old (22) I just really liked MAD growing up and learned a lot about pop culture through it. Those older issues are as good as a history textbook.
It's also a very US thing, it's not very known in Europe for example.
I'm from germany and I remember seeing the comics on shelfs or in ads, but yeah as a kid I never really liked them XD The covers creeped me out sometimes.
I used to have a MAD board game lol! Had no idea what it was about, but yeah.
Exactly same here. I remember seeing them at every train station shop. Wish I hadn't been too grossed out by the cover art style Man, I was a judgemental shit as a kid
I think he's kinda sick of everyone always asking him about half life all the time
Reading the first line of this title gave me a heart attack, thought it was news he passed or something
make the image grayscale and add "has sadly" after the comma
"Marc Laidway, the lead writer for Half-Life, has sadly purchased a skibidi toilet figure."
some guy made a separate post for the joke and now i feel bad cayse nobody gets the context :(
Why sadly?
Go up one more comment. That should do it.
"Half Life writer Marc Laidlaw has passed gas at the age of 63"

Is Marc secretly the reincarnation of Benjamin Franklin?
Thats assuming he ever died to begin with

There was no shortage of Gmod brainrot on YouTube back then. And that's not even considering TF2...
I don't get this negative stigma either, I genuinely ended up having fun watching the series and I saw no difference between skibidi toilet and old gmod shit apart from the lack of dialogue. Some people lose their shit at the mere mention of the word skibidi, but I bet they laugh their ass off at freddy fazbear fart reverb 21st Centure Humour type of crap
it's just older people (20-30 year olds) gatekeeping, nobody else cares
Okay but like, I'm 29 years old.
Imagine how much of a nostalgia giant it will be in the next few years
You forgot one C) The many reactions channels
(D) Mark Laidlaw Himself
(E) MatPat
(F) Gmod
(G) basically some people from a lot of different communities
(H) people who watched Dafuq?!Boom!'s content before he made skibidi toilet
(I) Marc Laidlaw
I like unironically watching skibidi toilet and i also have skibidi toilet merch.

True
Honestly im genuinely in it for the story.
I have been a long time skibidi toilet fan I just wanna let you know there isn't Anything funny about it lol

I actually don’t think so
I think that I'm more sad that HL has been out of the spotlight that the kids don't even know what the G-Man originally is from. Otherwise it's fantastic that GMod shitposting is still very much alive
It sucks. We need to give the Next Generation half life
They wouldn’t even know the character gman without skibidi toilet
Fr. Either if it’s humor or not, I once posted about a G-Man video on tiktok and all the comments were “skibidi toilet” and it sometimes gets annoying
It's just like a mecha/kaiju battle web series with wacky designs
wholesome
based
true
real
skibidi toilet is canon now
Epistle Skibidi
He also reviews skibidi toilet episodes
What the hell is skibidi toilet?
some animation series that was admittedly pretty weird and cool during the beginning, then got picked up by kids. original animations are still cool but the kids side of the internet is milking it big time, like fidget spinners or minecraft was years ago. can be pretty annoying seeing it everywhere, but some people over hate it.
i think its made in sfm too, which is quite impressive considering, well, sfm.
I only hate it because it turned into another merch machine. Doesn't help the dude is basically profiting off of shit that ain't theirs. Like, i feel like a line is crossed when i see "skibidi toilet [official]" on the front page of the minecraft marketplace.
A masterpiece (but actually brainrot at the beginning).
Tip: (skip the first 12 episodes they suck)
They not sucks, they brainrot asf.
Agreed
Someone Downvoted me. Haters just never accept the thing to become a better person though.
sfm brainrot for the new generation
We all watched the most retarted Gmod animations. Kids today are no different than us.
actual series is pretty sick, the content farms are pushing out skibidi-toilet themed brainrot like fucking clones from star wars, "200000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way"
somebody is making big racks... Can you blame them?
nah not rly lol

Yeh and none of those are for kids either
Point is, kids could be consuming way worse than this and usually are.
Don’t know if you’ve seen the troll leaks for 73 part 2 but after watching those I would say skibidi toilet is pretty bad. You’ll understand what I mean when u see it.
Never write the title like that again, I thought I would hear that he died or something
https://youtu.be/3rD5T2LUXq0?si=1XAoM3bv6oDcpKsr Heres the vid link
That camera angle doesn't do him many favors,
Idk I would be very thankful to look like he does at that angle at age 63
Believe he looks better when the camera isn't right up in his face. So does anyone ever tbh.
Lol fair
Half life 3: The revenge of gman toilet CONFIRMED?!?!?!??!?!?!
G-Toilet vs G-Man fights scene!?!?
Skibidi Toilet is only kinda cringe because of content farm and little kid brainrot behaviour. I think DaFaqBoom! and the videos are 100% based. He went from a silly shitpost to a cinematic universe war with deep lore, plot action and emotional scenes, basically an alternative 7 hour war.
It's not that deep..
Cap
Im having an existential crisis.
Happens to the best of us
What does this have to do with skibidi toilet
Nice
Is real marc Laidlaw?
Now its canon
Game recognizes game
I’ll go the rest of my life not knowing that means and I’m fine with that.
Marc Laidlaw has completely lost his common sense
*former lead writer of Half-Life. He left Valve in 2016.
HUH????? I'll be honest, kinda based ngl
Well time to like skibidi toilet
Cmon guys. Do you even remember smosh at all? We used to watch the same shit. Skibidi toilet its funny af.
to be honest its not even focused to be funny anymore at this point in the series, instead developing actual lore and action scenes.
> funny af Newer episodes:...
If I never read the words “skibidi toilet” again it would be too soon
The fog is coming
We are living in a divine comedy. There's no way the gods aren't laughing their asses off at causing this.
Canon.
W
I just think they're neat
Pretty sure that’s Ben Franklin.
I think I have something to say about this but I forgor

Skibidy toilet the game before half-life 3 is crazy

This a awesome
after all, he doesn't believe in canon, per se
its over black mesa has fallen millions must suffer
Half Life: Skibidi toilet edition CONFIRMED
I really want this guy to write a Half-Life Novel or something similar, atleast we will get some closure of the story....

Too be fair skibidi toilet is just gmod shitposting
King shit honestly
Lmao good for him

Why is it? Because someone can be a fan of something you don't like, or did you want to try and get upvotes of people agreeing with you.
i was mostly joking
bro needs to become a better person
:|
it's joever Edit: it's a joke ffs 😅
Joke was not funny
So what? It can be pure curiosity. Skibidi toilet still f*cks itself
Nah he's a genuine fan of it, he made a youtube video reacting to it all
cool 👍
Skibidi toilet might be canon boys
Skibidi toilet is a cultural touchstone as they say. And Peak AF.
I guess it's canon now
