EA is very good at consistently adding player-requested content to The Sims 4 with free updates to the base game. Unfortunately, EA is also very good at breaking The Sims 4 with those updates, as evidenced in the latest debacle.

What have we become? In my 14 years at JoBlo, I never thought I’d add the term “Skibidi Toilet” to our back-end tag cache. Yet, here I am, trying not to curl into a fetal position while spiraling into despair as I type the following words. The filmmaker with an explosion fetish, Michael Bay, and Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman, are developing a Skibidi Toilet film and TV franchise. Kill me now.
Are you still with me? The duo discussed bringing the evolving digital video short series to other entertainment arenas on the latest episode of Variety’s “Strictly Business” podcast.
“We are absolutely in talks right now, both on the television side and the earliest conversations right now on the film side,” Goodman said. “But it’s not a be-all, end-all for us.”
Understand this, friends. The Skibidi Toilet digital series is massive. The YouTube and Roblox series makes so much money I need to push the disembodied head in the toilet aside to puke into the porcelain throne. Last year, reports said the Skibidi Toilet video network made $374.9K to $6M monthly. Let that sink in.
What is Skibidi Toilet? On Feb. 7, 2023, Alexey Gerasimov uploaded an 11-second video to his YouTube channel DaFuq!?Boom! called “skibidi toilet,” which featured a head emerging from a toilet singing. The video short blew DaFaq up, becoming a cultural phenomenon among the Fortnite and Roblox generation. Gerasimov kept making videos, more than 70 of them, each lasting 1 to 5 minutes in length. Believe it or not, the series tells a story about a war between Toilets and Cyborgs. The videos feature plenty of explosions (hence the Michael Bay connection) but are dialogue-free, save for the scat-inspired singing. Gerasimov’s empire grew as Generation Alpha continued to share the Skibidi Toilet videos. Today, we’re staring down the barrel of a Skibidi Toilet film and TV franchise directed by Michael Bay. Again, what have we become?
“I will say that Michael and Jeffrey Beecroft, who’s his longtime production designer and a colleague of his that’s worked with him on all of his movies, have been working very closely with Alexey to really professionalize the kind of back engine of this, to make sure, if we ever decide to go film or television, that this is kind of lifted beyond just the resources that creators have on the internet,” said Goodman.
Jokes aside, they are jokes, so don’t come for me, kids. Skibidi Toilet’s popularity is a legend on the internet. So, of course, a studio wants to capitalize on the latest viral sensation. Look at how long Hawk Tuah Girl’s 15 minutes have lasted! Get your money, queen! I’m 43 years old, so the appeal and extensive lore of Skibidi Toilet are beyond my understanding. If someone can make a mint off a singing disembodied head in a toilet, all the power to them.
To be clear, Goodman says the Skibidi Toilet film and TV franchise could arrive in the style of John Wick or District 9. However, everything has yet to be official.
Dare I ask, are you a Skibidi Toilet fan? What do you think about Michael Bay boarding a Skibidi Toilet film? Let us know in the comments section below.

James McAvoy has reteamed with his Split and Glass producers at Blumhouse for a psychological thriller called Speak No Evil, which Universal Pictures will be giving a theatrical release on Friday, September 13th. With that date swiftly approaching, a new trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
James Watkins, whose previous credits include Eden Lake and The Woman in Black, wrote and directed the film, which centers on a family who takes a dream holiday to an idyllic country house, only to have the vacation turn into a psychological nightmare. Speak No Evil is a remake of a 2022 Danish film called Gæsterne (read our review HERE), which was directed by Christian Tafdrup. The director wrote the screenplay for the film with his brother Mads Tafdrup. Gæsterne was nominated for eleven Danish Film Awards, which are the equivalent to what the Oscars are in the United States. That film had the following synopsis: A Danish family visits a Dutch family they met on a holiday. What was supposed to be an idyllic weekend slowly starts unraveling as the Danes try to stay polite in the face of unpleasantness. And if you’re interested in checking it out, it’s on the Shudder streaming service under the title Speak No Evil.
I haven’t watched the original film yet… and to be honest, after seeing some comments on the film, I’m not sure I want to. Some of what I saw was negative, but even the positive reviews indicate that Speak No Evil is a bummer on a scale that I don’t really need right now. But I will be interested to see how viewers think this remake compares to the original.
Blumhouse founder Jason Blum is producing the Speak No Evil remake. Christian Tafdrup serves as executive producer alongside Paul Ritchie, Jacob Jarek, and Bea Sequeira.
McAvoy is joined in the cast of the remake by Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate), Scoot McNairy (Monsters), and Alix West Lefler (The Good Nurse).
