    The series. The term originated from the series because the toilets sing that “skibidi bum bum oh yes yes” constantly. The toilets are bad and destroying life, hence skibidi is slang for really bad.

    Source: have 10 year old and I remember when this all started.

        Yeah, I think it actually means something in another language. I never looked too hard into it. I was mostly commenting on the whole skibidi as a slang and how it grew in popularity because of the skibidi toilet series blowing up.

          It’s loosely based on a bulgarian pop song that transposes one of their traditional folk songs over a dance beat. It got popular from TikTok from an overweight Turkish guy dancing to it. Then this youtube series was made with some gmod visuals and parts of the song in the background.
