There are just phrases that I have to write in this article that I’m sure some of you reading will be bewildered at. A leaked trailer found by Sonic Stadium, a site dedicated to Sonic the Hedgehog news, shows the blue blur fighting a giant version of a Skibidi Toilet alongside PUBG and Kaiju No. 8 characters.
Did that scare you? Well, that’s just what video games are now. In fact, that’s just what games are these days in general. Have you seen Magic: The Gathering? SpongeBob can fight Gandalf with Optimus Prime and a Dalek now. Some companies, like Krafton, Epic, and Roblox, continuously frack pop culture to drive revenue a little further, even if it makes no sense for the game.
This is landing in PUBG Mobile, which, like Call of Duty Mobile and other mobile versions of games, tends to get a little sillier than the console or PC options. Maybe not so much anymore, as you know, you can kill each other in a war zone as Beavis or Roger from American Dad. However, we’ve not gotten a Bruce Willis or Rambo super ability yet, so there’s still hope.
PUBG Mobile is actually gearing up for the first phase of this event, which will just be PUBG vs Skibidi Toilet. This collab kicks off on September 25. Another mode, Metro Royale, will run from September 29 through to November 4. This event will net “exclusive rewards for the boldest players.”
The Sonic event will come later, and as it’s a leak, we don’t have a date just yet for when Sega’s mascot gets the limelight. In the trailer itself, it just cuts to a generic “Skibidi Toilet now available” message at the end. It looks vaguely Halloweenish, but who knows. I don’t know. Sonic fighting a Skibidi Toilet sends shivers down my spine for some reason. Is that blood out my nose?
Sorry, did you need Skibidi Toilet explained?
Skibidi Toilet is an animated series made using Half-Life 2 and Source Engine models within Valve’s own Source Filmmaker. It gained massive traction in 2023, was optioned, then quietly dropped for a movie deal, and has become some horrific kids’ brand that can’t even use any of the stuff that made it popular.
For instance, a main villain in the series is just Half-Life’s G-Man’s head in a toilet. The main face of the series is Male 07 from Half-Life 2. Even the series’ namesake song, a remix of “Dom Dom Yes Yes” by Bulgarian Biser King, which blew up through TikTok in 2022 thanks to Yasin Cengiz (who is still doing the same bit three years later), and Timbaland’s “Give it to Me”, can’t be used in any of the promotional material.
There is, in fact, a story of a bunch of camera-headed people (eventually joined by TV and radio people) who are trying to fight off an invasion of killer toilets. It’s pure, simple fun with decent animation that immediately engulfed kids and teens online to the tune of hundreds of millions of views per episode.
I interviewed the guy behind it in 2023, Alexey Gerasimov, and he was as taken aback by its success then as we all were. However, now I see Skibidi Toilet toys in my local supermarket, and it’s just downright weird.
