QPQ:

Overall: Ca, looks good to me. NYT and WaPo are paywalled, so AGF. Pending QPQ unless this is your 5th or earlier nomination. No preference between ALTs, but if ALT0 is picked I'd change "Gen Alpha" to "Generation Alpha". This is clearer and bypasses a redirect (see WP:MPNOREDIRECT). Please forgive my inability to wax poetic Gen Alpha slang here. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️‍⚧️) 05:39, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

    • Noting here that the AGF isn't needed, I've checked the references (losing several braincells from the NYT article) and they verify the hooks. @Queen of Hearts: noting here for future reviews that you can use archive.today to bypass these paywalls :) Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 20:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

      I'll donate you some braincells to make up for this. No guarantee they're high quality...

"The dialogue-free series"

This is outdated, and should be changed. In "skibidi toilet 70 (part 1)", at the 3:18 timestamp, one of the "Astro Toilets" very clearly says "You all will die." in English. Hulias0 (talk) 20:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

caveat added. Alyo (chat·edits) 22:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I guess the lyrics in the music would count for something too, then? Having one line in the whole series is loosely defining it as having dialogue. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 14:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Since I made that topic, every new episode (except 71) has had several lines of dialogue in them. Hulias0 (talk) 19:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter, as this line is not in the article anymore. Alyo (chat·edits) 20:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I've added Template:Toilets template

I've added Template:Toilets template to the article.

Were there to be any objections to the addition of said template. Feel free to discuss here.

🐲 Jo the fire dragon 🐉(talk|contributions) 18:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Since this article is indeed linked on the template, that makes sense. I'd support removal if skibidi gets removed from template:toilets. Alyo (chat·edits) 19:44, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Seasons?

How does skibidi toilet have 23 seasons when it was released in 2023? Is that a typo or do they do a season every two weeks? 174.198.8.194 (talk) 03:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, each season only has a handful of episodes and episodes used to be published in a daily basis. Ca ^{talk to me!} 07:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Skibidi Toilet isn’t the second most subscribed channel

This article says that skibidi toilet passes Mr Beast in YouTube subscriber rankings when in reality it isn’t in the top 50. 12.74.53.22 (talk) 01:05, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the sentence refers to the subsciber growth not the total subscriber count. I modified the sentence to make this clearer. Ca ^{talk to me!} 02:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Is it worth making the direct comparison to Mr beast. Seems a little forced in this context? YannLK (talk) 11:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

This is very subjective, but the fact that this smallish channel surpassed the subscriber growth rate of the largest YouTuber seem notable to me. In any case, it's the Washington Post making this comparison, not the editors. Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I would argue that it isn’t particularly relevant since the biggest youtube channels can (and sometimes do) have negative subscriber growth rates. YannLK (talk) 14:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Adding a picture of the humanoids with electronics on their heads

Could an editor of this article add a picture of the humanoids discussed in "Plot and Characteristics"? There is a picture of one of the toilets, so it would probably also be helpful to have a picture of a Speakerman/Cameraman/TVman. Thank you. 2601:447:D17C:3340:2541:F905:6793:379C (talk) 21:06, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps? The character design wasn't really a major topic of discussion in reliable sources, and the toilet screenshot already embodies the visual style of the show well. So, I don't think an additional image would pass the bar outlined at WP:NFF. Ca ^{talk to me!} 16:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for replying. It makes sense to have just the toilet in the article, so another picture might not be necessary, but it may be helpful though it is of low importance. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 14:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

"G-Man"

This character is never once referred to as "G-Man". "G-Man" is a character from Half-Life, the character in the skibidi toilet series is canonically called "G-Toilet", which is a name that has been in use since episode 47, which came out back in July 2023. Since then, many episode's YouTube descriptions have featured this name, like 47, 60, 64, 65 part 1 (shorts version), 68 "fake g-toilets", 72, and most recently 73. While a lot of the community still refers to him as "G-Man" or "G-Man Toilet" due to his face being the G-Man from Half-Life, this name is fanmade, and shouldn't be used in a Wikipedia article.
