00:00To the Sigmas of Australia, I say that this goofy air government have been capping.
00:05I'm going to show you an image, okay? I want you to stare at it for a few seconds,
00:08just look at this. Did that make you writhe, puke in your mouth a little bit? Do words like
00:11skibbity activate you like MKUltra? When you hear Mary Rizmus, kind stranger, I'm a level 99 skibbity.
00:16Does your skeleton want to jump out of its body and run free? You're not alone. This is brain rot.
00:21Brain rot is an interesting term, because that's how we describe and categorize a lot of this new
00:24internet slang over the past couple years. In many ways, words like Ohio and aura are just
00:29part of the cyclical nature of internet terminology. In 2016, everyone was just
00:33saying cringe and cancer. And in 2020, everyone was saying simp and Karen. Now in 2024, everyone's
00:39saying Riz and yacht. And honestly, the word brain rot is nothing more than a modern buzzword
00:44to describe this phenomenon. In 2016, you'd probably categorize this as cringe. Now we
00:48call it brain rot. Even brain rot is sort of a brain rot term. I've heard the thesis being passed
00:52around that brain rot is dead. And in my opinion, this current wave of brain rot may be dying,
00:57but along with its death will usher in a new form of communication. There will be new buzzwords next
01:01year and the year after that. Maybe next year, the word everyone will be saying is gurnkle. I
01:04don't know. But yes, words like skibbity are starting to fall out of the common internet
01:08warrior's lexicon. And part of it is because it might have overstayed its welcome in many people's
01:12eyes. So much so that some of these words have begun seeing usage in mainstream realms. Let's
01:16take a look at this new Walmart ad, for example. On July 29th, 2024, the Walmart YouTube channel
01:21posted this ad advertising back to school fashion. And in it, the bus driver gets a lesson from a kid
01:25that ate has replaced slay and even promises to teach the driver the word Ohio on the way back
01:30home. People immediately tuned into this cursed ad and started making edits, making fun of it.
01:34Here's an edit from Crown Point, which adds a cringe counter to the screen, tallying each
01:38instance of cringe. Maybe 2016 brain rot words are still relevant today. Does that mean I'm
01:42going to hear about skibbity toilet in 2032? Because I don't know if I can handle that reality.
01:46Other edits include Walmart brain rot ad, but it speeds up every time it's cringe. When the kid
01:50says no cap, you aren't cringe or Ohio at all. It does make me want to unalive in Ohio or in
01:55Minecraft or, um, okay, wow, my brain is gone. It's mush. By the way, did you see the Senate
01:58speech in Australia? Probably not, but Australian Senator Fatima Payman said, quote, the sigmas of
02:03Australia as well as the legitimate words cap-a-holics and yap-a-holics. If you can believe
02:08it, she even says skibbity in this speech out loud in a government building. I'm just glad that the,
02:13uh, the skibbity toilets are finally getting representation. I think we should pass laws
02:16giving equal rights to the skibbities. It's unfair. Skibbity. This speech obviously got
02:20memed on a lot on TikTok, like this caption versioned by Six News Australia, which received
02:2414 million plays and 2 million likes in just one day. Many other content creators and TikTokers
02:29reacted to this, some even lamenting, why did I understand everything? Maybe these public displays
02:33of skibbity are actually getting people to finally touch grass. Maybe this is based. Oh, I used another
02:37buzzword. Maybe this is great. If you thought all of this was bone-crunching and skin-wrenching
02:40enough, wait until you hear about the new movie coming out. On July 24th, 2024, Variety reported
02:45that Skibbity Toilet would be getting a TV and film adaptation by, yes, Michael Bay. I'm seeing
02:50that on IMAX. I'm going to get the special G-Man toilet popcorn bucket for $45 at AMC and then sit
02:55in the front row like Frank Reynolds going, oh my god, I get it. Many tweeters and internet users
02:59quickly took to the post, responding with GIFs and captions. Mad man guy in the theater with
03:03the caption, Michael Bay studying Skibbity Toilet right now. Many people asked, how would you even
03:07make a Skibbity Toilet movie, given that it's a bunch of valve assets from stuff like Half-Life?
03:11I think they'd probably just change the heads in the toilets, you know, just, like, throw
03:14Willem Dafoe in there or something. Robert Pattinson would go hard to Skibbity Toilet.
03:18What can I say? Many TikToks came out as well, like this one that joked about Skibbity Toilet
03:21getting made over other movies, which received 1.2 million plays. So yeah, welcome to your new
03:25reality, have fun with that. Brain rot has infected every little nook and cranny of the real world. I
03:30just can't even imagine what brain rot will look like four years from now. Let's hope it's less
03:33toilet-themed.
