Skibidi Toilet Series (Web Animation) - TV Tropes (1)

My style is ridic-dic-ulous…

"Brrrrr skibidi dop dop dop yes yes. Skibidi double u neeh neeh! skibidi dop dop dop yes yes. Skibidi double u neeh neeh!"

— Signature song of the toilets

The Skibidi Toilet series is an action-horror-comedy satire series in Source Filmmaker created by the user DaFuq?!Boom! on YouTube, which went ridiculously viral in 2023. It follows an ever-escalating war between a race of camera-headed people, their allies, and the titular Skibidi Toilets, sapient, singing toilets with the heads of people protruding out of them that have swapped roles with humanity, causing the Cameraman alliance to spring into action and take back Earth.

The series is available for watching on YouTube Shorts, and the full playlist can be found hereSkibidi Toilet Series (Web Animation) - TV Tropes (2), with later episodes being uploaded in both Shorts and the normal fullscreen video format with minor differences between the two.

The series branched into video games for the first time with the First-Person Shooter, Skibidi Toilets: Invasion.

Skibidi trope trope trope yes yes:

  • All for Nothing: Episode 65's massive battle ends as such. The seemingly unstoppable upgraded Titan Camera and Speakerman duo give it their all to defeat the G-Toilet, and once they do? G-Toilet is revealed to be a fake, and the titan duo finds themselves critically damaged by an overwhelming Suicide Attack. And Episode 66 reveals the real G-Toilet and the Scientist Toilet have seemingly killed the two Titans, rendering the battle consequences even worse. Subverted in Episode 67 (Part 1), where its revealed they're actually still alive, but still in their damaged states from Episode 65.
  • After the End: Every episode after Episode 5 takes place after the Toilets take control of the world. Episode 11 is the last we get to see of normal humans. Well, until episode 47, that is.
  • Ambiguous Robots: The Cameramen and their various allies and Titans. They have technological objects for heads and often seem to be cybernetically enhanced in some manner, but occasionally display some sort of skin, such as their necks or the Camerawoman's legs in Episode 29. Episode 49 does seem to confirm that the Cameramen are mostly robots, given that we see some damaged with wires sticking out of them — but if that's the case, who built them?
  • Ambiguous Situation: It's not entirely clear what's going on with the Astro Toilets. Are they simply a dissident faction within the Skibidi Toilets, or do they answer to a higher power? They've been fighting alongside the other toilets for some time now, then in Episode 60 two of them try to assassinate the G-Toilet (who may or may not have been the real G-Toilet) for unclear reasons, possibly related to the Titan Speakerman being back on the Allies' side (it doesn't help that the only dialogue is “SKIBIDI SKIBIDI DOM YES YES” etc.), until The Scientist chases them off with his Giant Mecha. They're still attacking Cameramen the next time we see them. The huge Detainer Astro Toilet that debuts in episode 70 is described as a “bigger threat” than the Scientist, but only attacks the Titans in self-defense and even tears apart an upgraded DJ Toilet that was about to attack them…yet he also tells them they all will die. He then attacks the G-Toilet, accusing him of “treason”, and has to be rescued by an even bigger and scarier Astro Toilet we've never seen before.
  • Back for the Dead: in episode 70, DJ Toilet makes his first appearance since episode 6, only to get immediately ripped apart by the Detainer Toilet.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: The Skibidi Toilets' enemies all dress like this, with some differences:
    • The Cameramen favor black three-piece suits, with white suits for their scientists/engineers, and simple white shirts for their medics.
    • The Speakermen are shown with Silver/Gray business suits, or white shirts with red ties for the larger Speakermen.
    • The TVMen are shown to wear dark Badass Longcoats.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: A point in which everything is the silly one; the Toilets may be silly Citizen toilet hybrids but have racked up an enormous kill count as the series went on, while the Cameramen, who do funny dances and drive the Toilets corpses like cars have done several things to boon their plans in reclaiming Earth.
  • Big Bad: The G-Toilet, a giant and incredibly powerful Skibidi Toilet with the G-Man's head, who appears to be the leader of the species as a whole.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Near the end of Episode 67 (Part 2) it looks like all is lost during the battle between the Titans and the Scientist Toilet. The Cameraman and Speakerman Titans have taken heavy damage from their fight with Scientist Toilet and G-Toilet, the former of the two brainwashing Titan Cameraman into trying to kill himself and then kill Titan Speakerman when he intervenes. But right before the Alliance can take a decisive loss, a newly upgraded Cinemaman teleports in and completely decimates the Scientist Toilet while sending G-Toilet fleeing for his life. Saving both the Cameraman & Speakerman Titans in the process.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Episode 73 ends on this note: Despite the Titans’ best efforts, they fail to finish off G-toilet who escapes once again. The Titans are heavily damaged, whcih puts their involvement in battle into question, several allies lost their lives, a new higher power may be at play, and the battle between the resistance and the Skibidi Toilets rages on with the chance of things getting worse. However, the enemy does not leave unscathed. G-toilet was dealt the biggest damage to his being yet, is deprived of powerful assets such as Glitch and Scientist Toilet, the resistance continue to having counters to the Skibidi toilets (such as the parasites that initially possessed Titan Speakerman), and may be at odds with the Astro toilets. What’s more, it’s discovered that some remnants of humanity are still alive, not only granting possible new allies to the resistance, but also giving humanity the possibility to rebuild…. Though things won’t be easy with that smiling guy in the corner…..
  • Bizarro Apocalypse: It's not like there's any explanation for where the Always Chaotic Evil scatting toilet-heads came from, in any case.
  • Bizarro Fiction: A non-literary example. This is after all a series in which singing toilets and appliance-headed humans fight a war during an apocalypse which takes itself completely seriously, silly jokes aside.
  • Bloodier and Gorier: The series gets noticeably more graphic and violent after episode 69, with the Skibidi Toilets often bleeding profusely from wounds and the wounds themselves getting more detail put into them.
  • Bolivian Army Ending: Ending 74 ends with the Astro Toilets arriving to Earth, surrounding and vastly outgunning the Alliance titan squad, then surrounding and possibly killing Titan Cameraman offscreen and causing the other two to teleport to another location.
  • Bring It: A silent one in Episode 51 given by the Titan Cameraman upon seeing a whole army of Skibidi Toilets being flown in after it just stomped an entire city block of them.
  • Brown Note Being: The Cinemaman is capable of doing this, terrifying any Toilet within its sight to the point that they flush themselves out of horror.
  • Bullying a Dragon: Episode 60 has a pair of Astro Toilets berate their own leader for losing control over the Titan Speakerman. How does G-Toilet respond to this? Sic a newly-Titanized Scientist Toilet on them.
  • Cerebus Syndrome: Early episodes are just random silly SFM Animated Music Videos without much of a story, while the later episodes are entirely focused on Super Robot-style action scenes and the overarching story of the escalating arms race between Toilets and Cameramen.
  • The Cavalry: In episode 24, the Speakermen enter the fray to reinforce the Cameras, doubling their force. Follow-up episodes quickly establish they also brought their own Titan into the fight.
  • Cliffhanger: Episode 67 (Part 2) ends on the G-Toilet and Scientist Toilet getting the upperhand against the Cameraman and Speakerman Titans and shooting down the Plungerman in the repurposed Glitch Toilet, before the Scientist Toilet reveals a TV screen that he uses on the Cameraman Titan, beginning to drive them into killing themself with their sawblade arm as the episode cuts to black on an uncertain and extremely bleak note.
  • Crapsack World: The world got thrown into chaos after the Skibidi Toilets showed up. People were beaten, eaten, or converted into more Skibidi Toilets, and, by later episodes, there hasn't been another human seen since, implying that they're almost all extinct. The Cameramen Alliance finally arrives to stop the toilets, but their war and countless battles leave many cities and towns in ruins. With the tech on both sides becoming more advanced and powerful, the battles (while cool to see) get even worse. Towering giants and war machines end up duking it out in the sky or land, leaving even more ruin and deaths behind, and then the masters of the Skibidi Toilets arrive to claim Earth for themselves.
  • Conservation of Ninjutsu: All the Titan's episodes (especially their return versions) tend to kick things off with the Titan showcasing their abilities through decimating as much Skibidi Toilets as they can.
  • Creepy Good: Unnerving and powerful as they can be, the TVMen are on the side of good.
  • Darker and Edgier: The series starts getting progressively darker in tone as the plot unfolds, with Season 22 serving as the turning point where both sides start suffering brutal losses and later a full-blown alien invasion threatens to bring an end to the remains of humanity, the Alliance and even the Skibidi Toilets.
  • Darkest Hour: Episode 74 ends with the human prisoners being discovered already zombified, the Astro Toilets beginning their invasion in full force and the Titan Cameraman likely dead.
  • The Dreaded: On the Cameramen's side, there's G-Toilet, who instills fear whenever they hear his deep-sounding Skibidi anthem. On the Toilets side, every variation of the TVMen stops them in their tracks immediately, but especially the Cinemaman, who ends up being the reason G-Toilet flees for his life in Episode 67 (Part 3).
  • Elite Mook: The Hydra Toilet and the Triple Toilet served as these. The Cameramen's slightly bigger variants and the Speakermen count as a good-guy example.
  • Enemy Civil War: One seems to be brewing starting in Episode 57. Due to the loss of the Speakerman Titan, the Skibidi Toilets have begun seemingly questioning G-Toilet's authority, Episode 60 in particular featuring two outright trying to assassinate him.
  • Flechette Storm: The Camerawoman seen in Episode 52 can fold down her head and deploy some sort of flechette gun from her neck, which she uses to nail a mob of approaching Toilets with pinpoint accuracy. In Episode 66, a Cameraman is seen using a handheld version of the flechette gun.
  • From Bad to Worse: Episode 74 ends on a very sour note. Just sometime after the failed assault against G-toilet, an elite Astro Toilet squadron assaults the Alliance detachment at Alpha Hills while still battered from the last fight. Titan Cameraman attack a couple of toilets despite his condition and then flies away with his fate unknown. Titan Speakerman tries to get into the battle in order to save him, but Titan TVman teleports him away because he does not want lose both of them, and the remaining Alliance troops on the ground are seemingly wiped out by their heavy ships.
  • George Lucas Altered Version: A widescreen version of season 1 was uploaded, the expanded field of view allowing Early Bird Cameos from the Cameramen alongside other new jokes, alongside the lyrics of the Skibidi Toilets' theme being slightly changed. Currently, due to the much grander scope of scenes and individual episodes, which are typically now released in multiple parts, the "full episode" versions of episodes contain extra scenes, additional dialogue, or clean up existing shots. The "full season" compilations seem to add even more to the episodes, with the season 22 compilation adding around 2 minutes worth of content.
  • Giant Mook: Big Skibidi Toilets are fairly common, varying in both size & appearance. The heroes aren't exempt from this privilege either, with there being a Cameraman, Speakerman, and TVMan (named Cinemaman) titan.
  • "Good Luck" Gesture: Cameramen give each other thumbs-ups whenever things turn in their favor or before dying heroically. TVMen seem to use smiley faces to emulate this.
  • Glass-Shattering Sound: With the Speakermen's aid, Cinemaman can amplify its Brown Note attack to shatter the Toilets' sunglasses, which are one of their only lines of protection against a standard TVMan's stare.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: for much of the series, it's apparent the G-Toilet is the Big Bad with the Scientist as its dragon… but who created the toilets and where did they come from? Episode 70 suddenly introduces the Detainer Toilet, an enormous Astro Toilet equipped with powerful grappler arms, whom the Secret Agent explicitly refers to as a “greater threat”. Two episodes later, this same character attacks the G-Toilet, calling it “commander” and accusing it of treason — implying there is way more to the toilets’ hierarchy that we simply aren't aware of.
    • Possibly the Secret Agent himself. He appears to be subtly helping the Alliance kill the Scientist, yet he has some kind of connection to the lab where the Scientist works and is briefly seen speaking to it, and remotely kills Plungerman to cover up evidence of his involvement.
  • Gut Punch: Episode 65's ending, The once unstoppable Upgraded Titan Cameraman, who destroyed entire armies, rises from the smoke, critically damaged and missing an arm, giving a thumbs down for the first time since his debut.
    • Repeated again in Episode 74, the already heavily damaged Titan Cameraman is being bombarded by Astro Toilets from all sides and after giving a solemn thumbs up to the POV-Cameraman, he rams several Astro Toilets on full speed and then flies away into the horizon, with several other Astro Toilets following soon to try to finish him off.
  • Hope Spot: Several times have shown the Skibidi Toilets nearly defeated.
    • First is in Episode 38 when the Cameramen and Speakermen resistance managed to deploy their mind-liberating tank-mounted laser to use on the Speakerman Titan only for the Overlord to intercept the energy beam and destroy the tank.
    • The second time is Episode 47 in the fight between the newly-revealed Cinemaman Titan chasing down the Speakerman Titan only to come across G-Toilet who the Cinemaman attempts to Brown Note into flushing himself, only for G-Toilet's minions and the Speakerman Titan to severely damage the Cinemaman and attempt to use a Skibidi Parasite on him, only for the Cinemaman to simply vanish.
    • In Episode 65, Titan Cameraman and Titan Speakerman gang up on G-Toilet after the other Skibidi Toilets abandon him. The fight is brutal, with both Titans wearing G-Toilet's weapons down until Titan Cameraman finishes G-Toilet off by burning him... only to discover that they've been fighting a decoy. Immediately after, a squad of kamikaze Skibidi Toilets crashes on top of the two giants. Both survive, but both are badly damaged.
    • Episode 74's second half has the Titan TVman watch a video showing the remnants of G-toilet's army and decide it would be an opportune time to strike and kill G-toilet while also preparing to send the other two titans to their home bases for repairs... but then he gets interrupted by the Scientist TVman who has just found out about the G-man's real origin and his relation to the Astro Toilets and tells Titan TVman to bring G-toilet alive to the base, shortly after which the Cameramen see the video footage of their comrades getting slaughtered by the Astro Toilet armada, which causes them to freeze in horror. Shortly after, the Astro Toilets arrive at Alpha Hills and proceed to attack the ground forces there including the titans, injuring Titan Cameraman even more than he was already and proceeding to hunt him down as he flies away, causing Titan Speakerman to try saving him only for Titan TVman to clutch him strongly and teleport him and surrounding Alliance troops away while the Astro Toilets destroy the rest.
  • Humanity's Wake: By Episode 12, humans stop appearing in the videos as the story shifts to the Cameramen vs. the Skibidi Toilets, the implication being that they were all assimilated. Episode 45 hints there might be survivors, and humans made their return in Episode 47. Episode 73 is the first time we see a larger group of non-assimilated humans, having managed to hold a small room against toilet assimilation, proving that humanity is not gone. Episode 74 then shows that the Skibidi Toilets are still in the process of brainwashing some humans, though the Elite TVman orders them to be killed, believing them to be too far gone.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard: The toilets, ever since episode 46 or so have been implied to be harvesting the Cameramens corpses to gather upgrades for themselves. Episode 63 shows the Plungerman returning using the Glitch Toilet's dead body as a new upgrade.
  • Immediate Sequel: Episode 45 follows up on the ending of Episode 44, where the Skibidi Toilets arrive with the brainwashed Speakerman Titan to fight Cinemaman.
  • It Has Been an Honor: When facing imminent doom it's not uncommon for Cameramen to give each other one final thumbs up, especially if they've just accomplished something important for the cause in the moments leading to their death such as completing the first succesful countermeasure to the Skibidi parasites.
  • Jump Scare: Really, it would be easier to count the episodes that don’t end with something suddenly jumping directly at the camera.
  • Kaiju: Used by both sides of the conflict. Each faction has a giant version of their regular troop that is often equipped with high-tech weapons.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: The still-brainwashed Speakerman Titan immediately jets out of the fight with Cinemaman when it manages to break one of its speakers.
  • Kudzu Plot: The first few episodes are largely just action, but lore starts trickling in after episode 60, with appearances from the Secret Agent who's implied to be behind everything and mysterious references to a lab that may have created the Skibidi Toilets.
  • Lensman Arms Race: The two sides end up locked in an arms race where each develops or brings in a new weapon, ally, or type of enhanced soldier, briefly overwhelming the opposition until they develop a counter and repeat the cycle, which grows more and more elaborate and destructive as time goes on.
  • Leitmotif:
    • The Skibidi Toilets are always accompanied by, and sing part of the lyrics of, a mashup of "Give it to Me" by Timbaland and "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Biser King.
    • For several of the episodes following their introduction, the Speakermen loudly play Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" from their heads.
    • Whenever the TVMen are onscreen, the Japan song "Burning Bridges" tends to play (but only in the YouTube Shorts version; the fullscreen version of the series uses the distorted trumpet sound from Half-Life 2).
    • A distinctive droning noise is played whenever the Camera Titan shows up — it's not clear if the Titan is actually making this noise or not.
    • Even the spin-off shorts "America" aren't immune: the moment the humans getting skulls on their heads as their Oh, Crap! moment, it's accompanied by Killing Joke's "America" as the Skibidi Toilets invade.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: In Episode 66, after the apparent defeat of the Cameraman Titan and Speakerman Titan has been broadcasted, ALL of the Cameramen and Speakermen in the area along with the elite members, outright shaking in rage, immediately charge the Skibidi Toilets in the area, swiftly and brutally taking each of them down, turning the tides of the battle before more Skibidi Toilet reinforcements show up, forcing them to retreat.
  • Logical Weakness:
    • Considering that they are just toilets, Skibidi Toilets can be killed by simply pulling their flusher. Grey Toilets however have their flushers protected, and the G-Toilet once resists getting flushed.
    • It later turns out that plungers are also effective anti-Toilet weaponry.
    • This even extends to the shades they start wearing to counter the TVMens stares, as they can be easily broken with blunt force. This does not make it easy, however.
  • Mass "Oh, Crap!": A group of Skibidi Toilets tries to raid a Cameraman facility, only to find out that the Titan Cameraman is Not Quite Dead and immediately turn around and flee.
  • Mecha Show: Of Super Robot variety. The webseries focuses heavily on the Titans, massive versions of the three mechanical "species" of the Alliance reminescent of the Jaegers that wield incredibly powerful weaponry and special abilities and enable their army to shift the tide of the war against the increasingly powerful Skibidi Toilets.
  • Militaries Are Useless: In Episode 5, several human military tanks, soldiers and helicopters are seen preparing to fight the Skibidi Toilets. They are never seen again, with the implication that the Toilets wiped them out. What's odd is that the Cameramen are able to put up a serious fight against the Toilets, even though most of them don't even bother to carry weapons until Episode 52, and the Toilets are most certainly not Immune to Bullets, as shown later. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the Toilets can seemingly transform humans into more of themselves.
  • Mini-Mecha: One of the white-coloured Cameramen scientists/engineers is seen piloting one in Episode 54.
  • Mini Mook: The Mini Skibidi Toilets and the parasites are both much smaller than other Skibidi Toilets.
  • Monster of the Week: Many episodes function somewhat like this, introducing an especially dangerous new Skibidi Toilet which is usually defeated by the Cameramen and their allies within a few episodes (with the exception of the G-Toilet, and later, the upgraded Scientist Toilet). By contrast, the Alliance's heaviest hitters, the Titans, are the most frequently recurring characters.
  • More Deadly Than the Male: All 3 factions of the Alliance have a singular female member, who is notably more powerful than the rest of their non-Titan members.
    • The TVMen have the TVWoman, who has a flame-enducing stare and can detach her head to possess other Toilets or use it as an omni-directional stunner.
    • The cameramen obtain a blackcoated Camerawoman, who can fire flechettes out of her back. She also notably led the rescuing of the Speakerman Titan.
    • Episode 61 introduces a Speakerwoman, who's immune to the latest Toilets camera-flash power and can use her soundwaves to fire objects.
  • Monumental Damage: Episode 58 shows that the city where the Alliance and Toilets are fighting is a ruined London, with the Big Ben clock tower putting in an appearance, its roof caved in but otherwise mostly intact.
  • Non-Human Head: Cameramen, well, have security cameras for heads. This also applies to the Speakermen, who have various types of speaker systems for heads and the TVMen, who have CRT TVs as heads.
  • P.O.V. Cam: Every episode is set from a Cameraman's perspective. Episode 51 is the first time a previously established character has a POV, in this case the Cameraman Titan, and Episode 68 is shown from the perspective of Plungerman.
  • Playing with Fire: The TVWoman's screen glare doesn't just paralyse its targets, but also sets them on fire.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: The Toilets utilize small Skibidi Parasites to control Cameramen and use them against their own, with larger versions capable of affecting the Titans — the Titan Speakerman is controlled by one between Episodes 32 and 57. The TVWoman can turn this on the toilets, as she can detach her head and latch onto Toilets in order to control them similar to the Skibidi Parasites.
  • Rage Breaking Point: After learning about the (apparent) defeat of the Cameraman and Speakerman Titans, the entire Camera/Speaker/TV Alliance finally get utterly fed up with the Toilets constantly stepping all over them and fly into a rage. Causing them all to launch a brief full frontal assault against the toilets, brutally massacring an entire battalion of them with nothing but their bare hands.
  • Sacrificial Lion: After the Skibidi Toilets had created their Skibidi Parasites to take over the Cameramen and Speakermen, they send in a second Skibidi Toilet General in order to lure out the Speakerman Titan so they could take it over.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!:
    • After the Skibidi Toilets figured out they can resist the TVMen's effects by wearing shades, the latter gave a collective shrug and vanished into the shadows. However, they quickly upgrade Cinemaman to counter the shades' effects.
    • The G-Toilet (or possibly one of its clones) does this on two occasions: firstly, when the Titan Speakerman is freed from parasite mind control in Episode 57 and secondly when the upgraded Cinemaman put in his reappearance in Episode 67.
  • Shout-Out: When coming across an assembly line of Skibidi Toilets in episode 68, Part 2, among the workers are Walter White and Jesse Pinkman toilets.
  • Simple Score of Sadness: When the Titan Speakerman is finally free of its parasite in episode 57, the mood is somber as even though they have freed a major ally, the cameramen still took on numerous losses thanks to the Titan's corruption by a parasite. Appropriately, the music is far slower and low-key than is usual for the series.
  • Smoke Shield:
    • In Episode 17, the Cameramen conduct some kind of airstrike on a gathering of Skibidi Toilets led by the G-Toilet. It creates a massive cloud of smoke, out of which the G-Toilet's lasers emerge and destroy the Cameraman craft, before it disperses, showing that most of the Toilets survived.
    • In Episode 58, the recently freed and extremely pissed-off Titan Speakerman is subjected to a Macross Missile Massacre by a squadron of helicopter Skibidi Toilets, obscuring them in the fireball. They survive unscathed, and proceed to blast all of their assailants out of the sky.
  • Spin-Off: The creator made two Satire shorts based off the Skibidi Toilets:
    • "America" is a 3-part shorts depicting the horrors of America Takes Over the World, with the focal humans getting skull treatment as the toilets invade their lands.
    • "Russia" is an imaginary satire of Russia Takes Over the World.
  • Soldier Versus Warrior: The Cameramen and their allies are Soldiers, led by nondescript ordinary members of their race and wielding weapons, vehicles, and advanced super-soldiers who all answer to the chain of command. The Skibidi Toilets on the other hand are Warriors, relying on a combination of Zerg Rush, brute force, and ferocity, in contrast to their enemies' Titans, G-Toilet is their leader.
  • Starter Villain: "Saint Skibidi Toilet" in Episode 10, being the first unique Toilet to be introduced (except from the G-Toilet), who is easily defeated by the Cameramen by the end of the episode.
  • Suicidal Overconfidence: During the first legs of the Lensman Arms Race, The Cameramen would often sit down and relax as soon as they gained a major advantage, with their strongest units blazing through Toilets with no problem — oblivious to the fact the Toilets would always adapt by creating new and more dangerous units. This cost them the Cameraman Titan getting severely wounded, the Speakerman Titan being brainwashed, and would've led to the Cinemaman's destruction had he not retreated. Ever since, they've thankfully been working to avert this problem.
  • Toilet Humor: Averted - despite the series's main selling point being various toilets with human heads poking out of them taking over the world, there is a total absence of scatological humor.
  • Token Good Teammate: Defied in episode 4, where a female Toilet saying "we ain't here to hurt nobody" is immediately mobbed by the other toilets. A downplayed but possibly set to be played straight example is The Astro Toilets, who have betrayed the regular Toilets and are currently on their own. The Retainer Toilet in episode 70 does seem to pose no threat, even disposing of the upgraded DJ Toilet, but still attacks the Titans although it could be self-defense.
    • Now it is defied with the Astro Toilets as of episode 74, who focus on destroying the Alliance once the titans managed to severely damage the G-Toilet. This circ*mstance though pushes the G-Toilet himself to offer Titan TVman his help in defeating them in his plea for mercy, which the Scientist TVman seems to have remembered and asks Titan TVman to not kill him and bring him alive.
  • Two Girls to a Team: So far, only three female members of the factions have appeared, not counting regular humans; so far, there's been a female Skibidi Toilet who only appeared in Episode 2 and hasn't returned since, a single Camerawoman who was quickly dispatched by the Glitch Toilet, and a TVWoman, who seems to be the TVMens leader. Downplayed as later on more Camerwomen are seen, including a specific Security Camera variant who is an elite sharpshooter.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Inverted and played with in a variety of ways. The Skibidi Toilets are silly creatures that are hard to take as serious as villains early on, but as the show's conflict is taken very seriously, and as the story progresses the Skibidi Toilets start to take on more and more threatening and grotesque forms. That is not to speak of their desecration of the Hardwareheads' corpses to create mutants, rounding up humans to turn them into zombies through their brain-rotting singing, and finally the brutal Astro Toilet empire that they defected from.
  • The Virus: Episode 73's extended version with the new ending implies that the Toilets spread their virus through singing, and humans can protect against it with headphones.
    • The next episode shows that it is indeed the song that transforms humans into grotesquely grinning zombies by rotting their brains, and that there is no cure for it besides cremating the infectees.
  • Walking Spoiler: Good luck trying to not bring up the TVMen or the Speakerman Titan's brainwashing.
  • Was Once a Man: Episode 4 shows that many of the Skibidi Toilets were once humans before... something happened to them.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Both sides are guilty of this, new units getting destroyed as soon as they are introduced almost all the time.
  • The Worf Effect: Also common on both sides, since more powerful units tend to get dwarfed by even more powerful units, and vice versa. The Titans are common victims of this.
    • After a Glitch Toilet presents itself as a huge threat in Episode 29, Episode 54 has it wiped out by TVWoman during the resistance' advances against the Skibidi Toilets.
    • Not even the G-Toilet is immune; in episode 57, the Cameraman Titan manages to best G-Toilet in combat, stripping him of his previous upgrades and leaving him heavily burned, forcing him to retreat when they free the Speakerman Titan from parasite control.
    • And in Episode 65, this favour is returned to the Nigh-Invulnerable-until-this-point Cameraman and Speakerman Titans, who suffer heavy damage in a kamikaze bombing raid.
    • In Episode 72 (Part 2), the Astro Detainer was hyped up to be a powerful opponent for G-Toilet after their confrontation in Part 1, and though he held his own, G-Toilet ultimately overwhelmed him by tricking him into taking orbs that cut off his arms, and then would've killed him had it not been for the intervention of a new Astro Toilet.
  • Wham Episode:
    • Episode 5 has our first good look at what the Toilets are about to do.
    • Episode 7 shows a Skibidi Toilet being flushed by the POV character, resulting in its death, but, before they can spread the word, they fall prey to a coordinated attack by nearby Toilets, showing that even having knowledge of the species' Weaksauce Weakness is not enough to guarantee victory as they're much Smarter Than They Look.
    • Episode 9 has the POV character spray paint a flag of a camera onto a Skibidi Toilet statue, revealing the Cameramen's main goal.
    • Episode 24 gives us our very first instance of a Speakerman.
    • Episode 30 introduces the Skibidi Parasite and what it can do.
    • Episode 32 reveals that the Speakerman Titan has been controlled by the parasites.
    • Episode 39 introduces the mysterious TVMen.
    • Episode 47 has two whams. Not only does Cinemaman suffer it's first loss, but a human being, something we haven't seen since Episode 11, comes to check on the POV Cameraman.
    • Episode 50 unveils the grand return of the Cameraman Titan, who's upgrades and repairs have left it far more competent than last time.
    • Episode 57 pulls out a two-parter in which the Speakerman Titan is finally freed of their possession thanks to both the Cameraman Titan and the TVWoman's efforts.
    • Episode 59 sees the Speakermen come out of hiding now that their Titan is free of brainwashing. In addition, we see several toilets attempt to assassinate the G Toilet, possibly indicating a schism forming among their race.
    • Episode 65 has the G-Toilet that the Titan Cameraman and Speakerman duo have been chasing since Episode 63 revealed to be just a decoy and they are bombed by a large group of kamikaze Toilets, with both heavily damaged in the process.
    • Episode 67 is one big three-part episode in which the Titan Cameraman and Speakerman do battle against the G-Toilet and Scientist Toilet. By the end of it, as the Scientist Toilet is attempting to brainwash the Titan Cameraman into murdering the Titan Speakerman after failing to make the former kill himself, the Cinemaman makes a grand return, now heavily upgraded as they obliterate the Scientist's hypnotic screen before killing the toilet, and the reveal that it was actually a mech controlled by the real Scientist Skibidi Toilet.
    • Episode 70 is another three-part involving the death of the Scientist Toilet, the possible return of the Astro Toilets, the Secret Agent's first major role and Plungermans death.
    • Episode 72 (Part 2) has the introduction of a new Astro Toilet who saves the Detainer from G-Toilet, and we hear Titan Cameraman speak for the first time in the series.
    • Episode 73 is an eye-opener for sure. G-Toilet and the Cameraman and Speakerman Titans are brutally damaged from their fight, with the Titan TV Man only one left standing. We mean this literally as the Titan Speakerman has no leg and no foot, while the Titan Cameraman had his left leg blown off. The worst part is that despite everything, G-Toilet still manages to get away, much to Titan TV Man's frustration. On the other hand, the episode ends on a stunning note as the Camerawoman discovers an entire room of people, regular human beings, likely the last survivors of Alpha-Hills Labs, and possibly the last human beings in the world.
      • In the new extended ending to the full Episode 73, we see a room full of normal humans wearing headphones. One of them is twitching in place, and briefly makes the Skibidi smile for a split second, implying that humans wear headphones to protect themselves from the Toilets' singing, which apparently is what turns them into toilets, and this man is in the process of becoming one.
  • Wham Line:
    • In Episode 67 (part 4), the mysterious human starts making himself extra known, hijacking a Cameraman's view to give him a hint and the series first ever line of sensible dialogue.

    "Look to your left."

    • In Episode 70 (part 1), the Detainer Astro Toilet becomes the first Toilet to speak in a coherent manner.

    "You all will die."

    • In Episode 70 (part 3), we get to hear the Secret Agent in full, as he talks to a dying Plungerman about how the Scientist Toilet's death must remain a secret to hold off the next threat. He ends on this sentence, signifiying the first loss of one of the Alliance's best.

    "This battle, you did not survive, Plungerman."

    • In Episode 72 (Part 1), when G-Toilet is confronted by Astro Detainer, the latter accuses him of treason whilst also calling him commander. This brings to question what G-Toilet's role really is, and what he did to betray the Astro Toilets.

    "You know the penalty for treason, commander. No one escapes justice!"

    • In Episode 73, G-Toilet calls the Titan Trio fools when they catch up to him and tells them they have no idea what's coming in perfect English, showing that he could speak regularly this whole time aside from saying "skibidi" over and over.

    "Fools! You have no idea what's coming!"

  • Wham Shot:
    • From the filtered perspective of a badly injured Cameraman in Episode 47, a human can be seen examining the Cameraman's injuries.
    • Episode 49 introduces to us the TVWoman.
    • The Reveal in Episode 65 that the G-Toilet that the Cameraman and Speakerman Titans had just defeated was Actually a Doombot.
    • In Episode 67 (Part 2), the battle between the Cameraman and Speakerman Titans and the Scientist Toilet starts to turn against the Titans as the G-Toilet assists... And as the battle continues ,the Scientist Toilet reveals one of his final weapons: A TV screen resembling the Cinemaman's that he quickly puts to use against the Cameraman Titan.
    • In Episode 73 (part 1), while the footage of Camerawoman's POV shows us her view of prior episodes in the series, the last backtracked footage shows actual humans, with a date set on September 16th, 1985. A woman named Cathy sets up the camera & does a double thumbs up, with her partner Dave also doing a single thumbs up, implying their gestures are how Camerawoman & all the Cameramen got their iconic gestures.
