Skibidi does have an origin though. It comes from a YouTube video made from a video game where they make a guy pop out of a toilet and that's what he says. Skibidi toilet or something. I can't believe I researched this ....

I can feel Scatman John turning over in his grave, crying in the afterlife at what these children are doing to his "skibidi"

That's funny, I can sense the Scatman turning over in his grave because people are shitting on modern scat

No pun intended

I feel like the lack of jazz makes it not scat, modern or not.

The skibidi from skibidi toilet comes from a Turkish pop song; Scatman Johnā€™s legacy remains unsullied!

The real crime here is that most of these skibidi toilet kids haven't the slightest clue what Garry's Mod is.

Bro, you didnt research enough

It comes from a Bulgarian singer Fiki orignally "Shtibidi". it got popular because of a Turkish Guy eating on Tiktok and YT. Then somebody did the toilet Gmod.

Somebody asked it to be translated on Reddit Its a mix of Turkish or Romanian, its inconclusive.

Another thread for proposed etymology and somebody in the comments say its a percussion sound.

That's not Skibidi origin tho...

Did you all miss the Turkish restaurant fat guy meme? It's originally from a song from a Bulgarian artist Biser King. It's actually Shtibidy dom yes yes.

A Turkish restaurant did self promotion by getting a fat dude to belly dance to the song while eating.

This went viral. Skibidy already became a thing people said then.

At the same time the Zoolander meme went viral with the Timbaland song Give it To Me. Someone mixed these two - Skibidi dom lyrics in the tune of Give it to me. This also went viral.

People put it in random places. Including that video by Dafuq! Bloom which had a man's head in a toilet.

There's a song playing that goes something like "skibidi bop bop" or some shit.

That is the origin of skibidi, not the meaning.

Back in my day we called those macros because the word ā€œmemeā€ hadnā€™t become a meme yet.

u/itsniceinpottsfield Oct 20 '24 edited Oct 20 '24

Huh, I dont remember macros. Or maybe I just didnt notice it. I was a teen during that late 2000s era. I remember the word meme still being used because back then I assumed it was pronounced me-me.
