The viral internet sensation Skibidi Toilet is currently being workshopped for its own movie thanks to famous director Michael Bay, and the series creator has acknowledged it.
It’s not every day that a popular internet series makes it into the mainstream, but Skibidi Toilet may have found its golden ticket.
The first video of this series was posted on February 7, 2023, by Alexey Gerasimov on his YouTube channel DaFuq!?Boom! It was an 11-second video of a singing man’s head emerging from a toilet.
Since the first video dropped, Gerasimov has uploaded 70 parts depicting the conflict between the singing human-headed toilets and the humanoids that have CCTV cameras, speakers, and televisions in place of human skulls.
On July 25, Variety reported that Bay is developing a plan to make Skibidi Toilet into a movie and TV series.
Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman revealed this news, telling the outlet, “We are absolutely in talks right now, both on the television side and the earliest conversations right now on the film side. But it’s not a be-all, end-all for us.”
While it may seem a bit odd that Bay, who is known for directing action blockbusters like Transformers, would be interested in a web series like Skibidi Toilet, it may have the kind of storytelling the director is looking for.

Skibidi Toilet is action-packed, especially in more recent iterations of the series. The brisk pace Bay is known for could be a great fit, and Gerasimov agrees.
“We will make sure it’s gonna be peak,” was all he had to say for now.
There were doubts that this series being brought to life by Michael Bay was a real possibility, but the creator of the series acknowledging it has helped the news sink in.
Considering the series has almost 80 episodes that span multiple seasons, there’s a lot of source material for Michael Bay to work with. The series itself has much deeper lore than it had at the beginning, fostering a Skibidi Toilet community that closely follows developments in the story.
That said, it isn’t yet clear how much of a departure his movie or film would be from the original videos and whether it’d play into the existing storyline or adapt it.
