Yes, you read that right: Michael Bay is making a Skibidi Toilet movie.
The internet has been making stars ever since the yellow AIM guy got cast on One Tree Hill. Now, Skibidi Toilet is the latest internet sensation to make the leap to Tinsel Town.
Wait...what is Skibidi Toilet again?
You know Skibidi Toilet: the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen? Remember? Sure you do.
If you’re over the age of…16? Skibidi Toilet is a very popular digital video and game series that feels like a cough medicine trip because it pretty much is. That is to say, creator Alexy Gerasimov started his empire with an 11-second YouTube video featuring a singing head emerging from a toilet. If it’s not quite Walt Disney sketching Mickey Mouse, it’s pretty damn close.
From there, an empire was created, with over 70 videos being posted in the series depicting an escalating war between Toilets and Cyborgs. Sounds bizarre and niche, right? Well, the YouTube channel has over 42 million subscribers, so not so much. It’s Generation Alpha’s Spongebob, Sesame Street, and Peppa Pig combined.
Michael Bay takes on the Skibidi Toilet film franchise
Now, the property is being developed for TV and film per Variety.
I hear you scoffing. I feel the rolls of your eyes. But they said Lord of the Rings was unfilmable, but Peter Jackson proved them wrong. Then they said Dune was unfilmable, but Denis Villenueve proved them wrong. Now, they’ll say Skibidi Toilet is unfilmable, and the one to prove them wrong is…uh, Michael Bay.
Yes, Bay is developing the property alongside former Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman. The venture is said to include merchandise, puzzle games, and so many more opportunities to bring Skibidi Toilet into our physical world.
Social media reacts to a Skibidi Toilet movie

Holy shit.

Seriously, if you've not watched the Skibidi Toilet series on youtube, Michael Bay would absolutely do it justice on the big screen.
It'd be an incredibly stupid, fun, silly action movie. https://t.co/dtGN87cY5b
Imagine Michael Bay sitting down watching Skbidi Toilet and saying "Haha. That's sick man. Dude this is crazy "

i’m sorry the craziest thing to come out of today was MICHAEL FUCKING BAY in talks to make a SKIBIDI TOILET MOVIE.

what the FUCK is HAPPENING bro
it's just so fucking funny to think that the executives looked at Skibidi Toilet and instantly said "We have to get Michael Bay for this, he'd be perfect", especially because they're right. If I had to pick anyone to direct a Skibidi Toilet movie, I would also pick Michael Bay ?

I just really ardently hope that Michael Bay is up to the task of making a good Skibidi Toilet movie.

Apparently there’s a new “Skibidi Toilet” movie in the works. And it’s being directed by the one and only Michael Bay?

I have too many questions.
1. I thought Skibidi toilet was some new
term some 5-year olds came up with. I never knew it had a history of being some YouTube… pic.twitter.com/CfGQS7TqDI
I can't believe Michael Bay said "I've actually been a fan of skibidi toilet since before it was cool." https://t.co/o2ZhMs33W5 pic.twitter.com/iF28tjrHwA

So yeah, there’s a good range of emotions coming out of this development. Either way, see you at the 2028 Oscars!
