The 'Skibidi Toilet multiverse' is 'absolutely in talks' to become a TV and movie series from Michael Bay

A grinning head in a toilet

The phenomenon generally known as Skibidi Bathroom is somewhat laborious to elucidate. At a look, it is a meme the place a person’s head pops out of a bathroom and spins round as he sings “skibidi dop dop dop sure sure, skibidi double-u reeh reeh.” 

You possibly can cease studying right here if that is fairly sufficient for you. If I may have stopped there myself, consider me, I might have.

Plunge a bit deeper and you may uncover that singing bathroom man is just the start of a (at present) 76-part machinima sequence on the DaFuq!?Growth! YouTube channel. The sequence depicts a conflict between bathrooms with human heads—the very Skibidi Bogs themselves—and our planet’s defenders, humanoids with cameras and different electronics for heads. Animator Alexey Gerasimov, generally known as Growth, makes use of Supply Filmmaker to create the sequence—if that singing head seems acquainted, it is the Male_07 character mannequin from Half-Life 2 (additionally utilized in some webcomic by some man about one million years in the past). G-Man (right here generally known as G-Bathroom) and different characters from the Half-Life sequence make appearances, too.

The absurdist machinima sequence, and different Skibidi Bathroom-related movies, exploded in reputation to the tune of 65 billion views in 2023, with one other 15 billion or so on TikTok. These numbers are exactly why Hollywood has come a-callin’—specifically former Paramount Footage president Adam Goodman and director Michael Bay of Transformers fame. Yep, that singing head in the bathroom may simply hit the massive display sometime.

“Skibidi Bathroom is IP. And that is the easiest way to explain it, ” stated Goodman on Selection’s “Strictly Enterprise” podcast as we speak, which I listened to as a portion of my soul slowly crumbled to mud. Although it started as a meme, Goodman says it is grown to include “lore and cliffhangers, and about 20 different channels which are making day by day content material within the Skibidi Bathroom multiverse.”

As I mourned the lack of tens of millions of my mind cells on the phrase “Skibidi Bathroom multiverse,” Goodman went on to name its reputation on YouTube and Tiktok “unprecedented” and stated he and Michael Bay partnered with Growth and inspired him “to take a look at this as if he is constructing one thing that might be the subsequent Transformers, or might be a Marvel’s universe.” Goodman says they’re “completely in talks proper now, each on the tv facet and the earliest conversations proper now on the movie facet.”

Curiously, or maybe chillingly, Goodman elaborated that it isn’t precisely crucial that Skibidi Bathroom make the leap from the web to extra conventional types of media. 

“Movie and tv is a flex, it seems cool, it helps to gas the patron product enterprise which is clearly a very vital factor,” Goodman stated. “It helps consumers at Walmart or Goal to know there’s going to be media and advertisements spent towards this factor. However we’re fairly profitable simply on YouTube as it’s proper now, so if we keep on this world, we’re okay, and if we transfer into extra conventional [media], than that will simply be for Michael [Bay] and I, fairly superior, and for Growth, our creator, type of a lifelong dream of his.”

Yeah, it is a bit arresting to listen to so bluntly that the final word objective of a movie or TV mission may merely be to behave as a device for creating curiosity from consumers at Walmart. Name me naive, however I nonetheless wish to no less than faux there is a shred of inventive endeavor going down in movie and TV, even when a mission is clearly 99% advertising and marketing. Perhaps I used to be overly optimistic. I assume we’ll discover out if and when the Skibidi Bathroom multiverse involves Goal—I imply, involves film theaters all over the place.
