Last week, news broke that Michael Bay was rumored to be involved with the film adaptation of the wildly popular web series Skibidi Toilet, leading to a widespread reaction of disbelief and confusion. Many viewers were left wondering, “Is this really happening? What direction is the film industry heading towards?” However, Michael Bay has clarified that he is not associated with this peculiar project in any capacity.
In a video shared over the weekend, Michael Bay took to social media to dispel the rumors surrounding his involvement with Skibidi Toilet. He humorously referenced the age-old advice from parents, saying, “You know how mom and dad have always told you, ‘Don’t believe everything you read’?” He continued, “I went on the internet last night and there’s stuff about me directing something – I know what I’m directing but it’s not the thing they keep talking about…” Bay proceeded to showcase a table filled with various scripts in different stages of development, debunking the rumors. He emphasized, “There’s not one in that little pile that says Skibidi so let’s just stop the lore right now, OK? You’re hearing it from me.”
The buzz about Michael Bay‘s potential involvement with a Skibidi Toilet adaptation first emerged last year, sparking disbelief among fans who found it hard to reconcile the director known for high-octane films like 6 Underground and Transformers: The Last Knight with a project revolving around such a bizarre concept. For those who are unaware of Skibidi Toilet, consider this your lucky day.
To provide some context, here’s a brief overview based on Know Your Meme: “[The show] is a series of Source Filmmaker videos by YouTuber DaFuq!?Boom! featuring a remix of “Give It To Me” by Timbaland and “Dom Dom Yes Yes” by Biser King in which an army of toilets with men’s heads coming out of them are shown singing the song in various settings. The series follows a plot about the Skibidi Toilets taking over the world and men with cameras for heads known as CameraHeads fighting against them.” While Michael Bay has become known for his explosive cinematic style, we doubt we’re going to see a film featuring toilets anytime soon.
Now, let’s entertain the idea of a Skibidi Toilet movie actually getting made – who do you think would be the worst director for such a project? We invite you to share your thoughts and opinions with us in the comments below!
