Skibidi Toilet Being Developed for TV and Cinema with Michael Bay and Adam Goldman

As a seasoned gamer and observer of popular culture, I can’t help but be intrigued by the meteoric rise of Skibidi Toilet from an obscure viral sensation to a potential movie franchise. Having grown up in the era of VHS tapes and arcade games, I’ve seen my fair share of bizarre phenomena come and go. But Skibidi Toilet seems to have tapped into something new and powerful: the limitless appetite for micro-entertainment on social media platforms.


The unusual and catchy name “Skibidi Toilet” might not be known to most adults, but it’s definitely recognizable to children. Given its viral popularity, this quirky sensation is on the verge of expanding beyond a TV show, perhaps even into a movie franchise. Notably, Michael Bay and former Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman are now leading its development.

The Skibidi franchise – such as it currently is – began life as a very short and destined to be forgotten video uploaded to the YouTube channel, DaFuq!?Boom! in February 2023. In that video, an animated head is seen emerging from a toilet bowl…and it is singing. Of course, that is exactly the kind of thing that attracts attention on social media these days – completely incomprehensible, very short and unfortunately unforgettable. The growing collection of “Skibidi” videos now stands at more than 70 shorts, which has some developed its own vague storyline of Skibidi Toilets battling evil cyborgs – and it seems this is where Michael Bay comes in.

The videos don’t have any spoken dialogue, but they are packed with action, explosions, and violence. As a result, people from different parts of the world have been drawn to them, language barriers be damned. In an interview on Variety’s Strictly Business podcast, Goodman mentioned that there have indeed been discussions about expanding this trend to a larger audience. However, he gave the impression that if it doesn’t materialize, it won’t be a cause for tears. He put it this way: “There have been conversations about broadening the reach of this phenomenon, but if it doesn’t come to fruition, I don’t think anyone will shed any tears over it.”

Currently, we’re actively discussing possibilities on both television and film projects. However, these conversations do not represent a definitive decision for us.

In current times, the world’s focus is quite fleeting, and platforms such as TikTok have capitalized on this trend by supplying an endless source of brief entertainment to billions of people. From dance challenges and lip-syncing to someone making a funny facial expression in sync with music, there’s significant earning potential in just a few seconds of video content. YouTube recognized this gap and followed suit by introducing similar features.

The “Skibidi Toilet” commercial fits perfectly into this description. It’s absurd, short-lived, and difficult to forget after watching it. In its later versions, it transformed into an epic struggle for dominance. Thanks to the masters of computer algorithms, it gained significant buzz, surpassing the interest in “Deadpool & Wolverine” trailers, and reaching a larger audience like an infectious visual sensation that everyone feels compelled to experience.

I’m thoroughly captivated by the widespread fame Goodman and Bay have earned, making it no surprise they’d seize the moment to cash in on this sensation while it’s still red-hot. In today’s world, social media platforms like TikTok have birthed numerous stars seemingly overnight. And if all goes according to plan, we fans can anticipate watching Skibidi Toilet in cinemas and on streaming channels for an extended period.
