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.
