Definition

Skibidi is a versatile slang term that can mean good, bad, cool, weird, or essentially nothing at all—entirely depending on context and tone. It originated from the viral "Skibidi Toilet" YouTube series featuring human heads emerging from toilets, and has become one of the most recognizable words in Gen Alpha internet culture.

Origin & History

Skibidi comes from the viral YouTube series "Skibidi Toilet" created by Georgian animator DaFuq!?Boom! (Alexey Gerasimov) in February 2023. The series features bizarre CGI animations of human heads popping out of toilets while singing a distorted version of "Give It To Me" by Timbaland—specifically the "skibidi dop dop dop yes yes" lyric.

What started as a weird 10-second meme video exploded into a full series with over 77 episodes, complex lore, and billions of views. The characters—Skibidi Toilets battling Cameramen and Speakermen—became iconic.

As the series went viral, "skibidi" transcended its original context. By late 2023, kids were using it as a general-purpose word, much to the confusion of parents everywhere.

How to Use It

Skibidi is context-dependent and can express almost any emotion:

  • Positive: Something cool or impressive
  • Negative: Something weird or cringe
  • Neutral: Just a fun word to say

Examples

"Bro that skateboard trick was so skibidi!"

"Why is he being so skibidi right now?"

"Skibidi skibidi dop dop dop yes yes"
