No, not harshly enough. They can't keep getting away with it. Morons need to stop watching obvious garbage out of mindless curiosity.

I don't know what any of the words in the title mean

A bay is a broad inlet of the sea where the land curves inward.

This film won't happen. Skibidi toilet had 15 mins of fame for generation alpha and only had legs from older generations not understanding it because it's toilet humour and absurd.

The kids already don't care about it. If the Minecraft movie went through development hell for 10 years, this movie is not getting made when they realise the kids already don't give a shit.

Don't fuck this up Michael Bay, we're counting on you for a faithful adaptation.

[–] mashbooq@infosec.pub 52 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Skibidi gradually evolved into more than 70 1-to-5-minute mini-epics depicting the infinitely escalating war between the Toilets and the Cyborgs. Each video is explosive, violent and free of any discernible dialogue.

Should be right up his alley

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, except he’ll have to figure out a way to make the movie mostly about a forced love story between two characters completely unrelated to the original series, and only show anything Skibidi-related for like <1/2 the movie.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 3 months ago

And how does he get Megan Fox in it?

[–] thedudeabides@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All it requires is that the film ends with "What I've done" by Linking Park but this time it's [s l o w e d + r e v e r b e d] [c h i l l m i x]

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Everyday we set one step farther away from the light of God and towards 2 hour long Idiocracy ass movies.

I can't wait until m night shyamalan puts out an ass movie with a twist.

But the meme is on its way out. We're in ironic enjoyment of how cringe it is right now. Movies going to bomb

Hollywood can't move fast enough to capture that white hot meme heat

great

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I think the hate it gets is undeserved, Skibidi Toilet is objectively an impressive achievement of 3d animation and minimal surrealist storytelling, it's obvious that the person who made it has been doing this for a long time and is very skilled. People are just dismissive because the main target audience is children and not them.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, let's not pretend that we didn't like stupid Internet stuff when we were younger.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Is Skibidi Toilet this generation’s Llamas With Hats or Charlie the Unicorn?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

YouTube Poops

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I've only caught a little bit of it here and there... So take what I say with a grain of salt.

But I'd say probably no. For no other reason than I don't remember any quotable lines. If anything I'd say maybe more along the lines of like happy tree friends?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Watching from the first episode is like watching someone get in their 10,000 hours. Visuals and story telling skills getting just a little bit better every single episode.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 37 points 4 months ago

I'm imagining conversations with the costume department.

  • So half of the actors will be wearing a full toilet costume
  • A what?!
  • Yes, only their head should stick out, but make it completely mobile. And also appropriate for stunts
  • ...

I'm not gonna be "that guy", but I remember watching dafuq's animations years before skibidi toilet was a thing.

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Immediately proceeds to be that guy.

I remember when Little Big released the OG Skibidi

Excuse me, but Scatman John would like a word with you, from 1994 to be exact.

Michael Bay should start clearing space to display his second Oscar

[–] thedudeabides@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

I would say Criterion should prepare another addition to their Bay flicks catalogue

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sigh. I’d rather hand that budget to Tommy Wiseau for a The Room sequel.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Check out Neil Breen if you haven't.

Thank you for clarifying this is, in fact not an Onion article. I saw this earlier and assumed it was a joke.

It's still a joke, but it's also real. Fuck.

I hope it has that "skibidi Ohio rizz" all the kids are talking about.

Who owns all the cgi models/props, and will the creators of the cgi models/props be paid?

[–] mwproductions@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

That's not very sigma of them.

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 3 months ago

Huh, well I guess they're desperate for ideas.

[–] Jordan117@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

And still no Halo movie.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Before today I had no idea what a Skibidi Toilet was, and now I've got close to two hours of content under my belt.

I'm genuinely impressed by the attempt to tell an overarching narrative through "found footage" from multiple authors witnessing a war with rapidly advancing technology, with the trimmings of conspiracy, infighting and betrayal, all without words, and no more than 3 emotes (thumbs up, zoomer dance, finger wag).

I can't say that it's good by any means, other than as a display of talent for animation and direction.

Still, I have no idea how they could pull this off.

Sure, our timeline is fucked, and the weirdest shit happens all the time. But a profitable movie about sentient toilet heads in a war against camera heads is not on a single persons bingo card.
