As a huge fan of quirky and unique entertainment, I can’t help but be intrigued by the latest announcement from Michael Bay and Adam Goodman about their plans to develop a “Skibidi Toilet” franchise. When I first stumbled upon Alexey Gerasimov’s viral videos back in 2023, I was both fascinated and confused by the dialogue-free, violence-laden world of a man’s head emerging from a toilet and battling alien cyborgs.
As a huge fan, I was just getting comfortable when suddenly, Michael Bay and his partner Adam Goodman dropped a bombshell. They’re planning to turn the viral sensation “Skibidi Toilet” into a franchise! Yes, you heard that right. The mega-successful producer and director, along with his partner, have their eyes set on creating both a series and a film based on this meme. According to Variety, they’re already in discussions about it, with early conversations taking place for the film side. If we find the right partner who shares our vision and believes in the potential of this project, then we’ll explore both television and film as natural extensions for us.
In February 2023, Alexey Gerasimov introduced his “Skibidi Toilet” series with a video showing a man’s head popping out of a toilet, singing a catchy tune, and attacking the audience. This quirky short soon gained widespread popularity, leading to numerous sequels that grew increasingly complex. Now, the series depicts a toilet-dwelling human fighting against an invasive alien cyborg race, often resulting in intense, dialogue-free battles. With over hundreds of millions of views, Goodman and Bay recognize the potential in Gerasimov’s violent and silent universe, drawing comparisons to successful franchises.
Adam Goodman thinks Skibidi Toilet could be the next MCU
Adam Goodman expressed to Variety that he believes the “Skibidi Toilet” videos hold great promise, capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with renowned science fiction franchises. He is confident that Alexey Gerasimov has the ability to create something iconic, potentially giving birth to the next “Transformers” or a Marvel-esque universe. Goodman further envisions this franchise unfolding as an action-packed epic in the vein of “District 9” or the John Wick movies.
Goodman additionally mentioned that “Skibidi Toilet” merchandise is anticipated this autumn. Before this unofficial launch event for the web sensation, he disclosed that Michael Bay is assisting Gerasimov in refining his work together with production designer and partner Jeffrey Beecroft. They have been intensely collaborating with Alexey to elevate the behind-the-scenes aspects of his creations. This improvement aims to prepare for potential film or television projects by enhancing the resources available on the internet.
It remains to be seen if children will follow through and give their allowances to “Skibidi Toilet” in the same manner they rushed to see “Five Nights at Freddy’s” during its impressive opening weekend at the box office. However, Michael Bay, who made a name for himself as a director from a successful “Got Milk?” commercial, understands how to transform a modest success into a significant triumph.
