The series has been viewed hundreds of millions of times and has sparked a moral panic among parents and authorities, who are concerned about its potential impact on children. Some have warned about the dangers of "Skibidi Toilet Syndrome," while Russian authorities are reportedly investigating the series for its "detrimental effect" on children.
The series' creator, Alexey Gerasimov, has described the videos as being inspired by his own recurring nightmares. The videos are almost completely wordless, which has contributed to their popularity and mystique.
Skibidi Toilet has become a cultural phenomenon, with the word "skibidi" becoming a shibboleth for Gen Z and younger. The series has also been the subject of controversy, with some calling it a threat to national security and others warning about its potential impact on children.
