As a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.

Skibidy toilet is just part of the modernist version of dada. I've (a millennial) always loved dadaism and absurdism as art and my zoomer kids make me so proud showing me their humor.

I honestly think it's kind of funny. It's just so stupid. Reminds me of early YouTube

As another millenial, this thread is the first time I've heard of Skibidy Toilet, and I'm wondering if I should bother to look up what it is.

Trust me, it’s like the dumb shit we watched when we discovered the weird internet, just using half-life characters and 3d animation. If you’ve ever enjoyed “All your base”, you have no right to complain!

Do or don't, we just gotta be good to our fellow peeps as the earth keeps spinning. I still haven't looked it up, and it's fine 😉

Another millenial here. I didn't know what it was until this thread either. After just now finishing binge-ing through all of the episodes (not that bad as they're all shorts), I'm going to recommend watching it.

It IS fucking weird and absurdist (and I don't care for the music style, so, was near mute). Honestly though, especially for something produced by a teenager, the cinematography and cohesive visual storytelling is really impressive.

I hope they continue to hone their skills and maintain their artistic interest. And, possibly, take their talent to directing.
