Do you prohibit your kids from watching skibidi toilet?

[Anonymous]

My kids say skibidi toilet all the time but frankly I don't even want to know what it is.

Reminds me of the horror over the Garbage Pail Kids of the 80s

Isn't this thing just the same thing as how Gen Z was growing up with MLG and the Annoying Orange back then?

I remember “milk, milk, lemonade”, “spell I cup” and other worse, inappropriate humor starting in early ES, a lot of which I did not understand. Thankful my parents did not make me feel like they were going to punish me for it if I mentioned it at home, rather discussed and set boundaries.

Well now I’m curious what milk,milk, lemonade and spell I cup are

Spell out "I cup."

ICUP.

I see you pee.

Height of elementary school humor.

That’s like nothing at all compared to this skibidee toilet trend. Like comparing kittens to T Rex.

Isn’t it just some turd-looking head that pops out of the toilet and sings stupid song? It’s dumb, but it’s benign. It’s not like it is porn

Right? I don’t understand these over the top reactions. Wait til their kids discover 80085 on the calculator…

I remember watching Ren and Stimpy on Nickelodeon back in the day. It had some stupid gross humor. There’s always going to be some version of this.

I think comments like this completely miss the point. It’s not the toilet aspect or crass humor that bothers us. The whole vibe of the videos are completely psychopathic. That’s what I want my kid to avoid.

I don't know what that is and, to my knowledge, neither do my kids. Thank god.

Huh? It's a war between two factions, the toilet dudes vs. the camera dudes (and I think the speaker dudes show up at some point). It's a neverending conflict and continually escalates through the episodes. Ongoing violent conflict is kind of fundamental to a lot of media... Autobots vs. Decepticons in the Transformers, etc.

The violence in skibidi becomes pretty graphic though after the first few episodes, which for me is why it is not young-kid-appropriate (just like Game of Thrones isn't appropriate, even if you left out all the sex). But "completely psychopathic" is a histrionic description of "graphically violent conflict".

But it does also have a lot of humor, and some narrative arcs that are creatively communicated entirely without dialogue, and other redeeming qualities... just too graphically violent for young kids.

What the heck is going on on youuu

Yes.

The way she sings the song gets stuck in my head more than anything. When she finally showed me what it was I laughed - it’s effed up and don’t want that imagery in her 8 yo head.

Ugh. Now I’m humming it again.

Exactly proved my point, it's not like Gen Alpha was the only one when Gen Z was like this in 2013-17.

I have resorted to putting tally marks on the board on Monday for 15 minutes of extra recess and erasing one every time skibidi toilet gets mentioned. Last week they actually kept most of their 15 minutes, which means I kept more of my sanity and instructional time. Progress!

She’s not doing whole class punishment. You misread in your rush to judge and criticize. She said she offers EXTRA recess as positive reinforcement. It’s taken away by using that phrase.


Why are you doing whole-class punishment when only a subset misbehaves? What does that teach the girls in the class about who matters and who doesn't?
