So the Skibidi Toilets seem to operate on being able to hurt "people" via jump-scares. These "people" I refer to could be called "Tech Heads" (don't know if there is some skibidi-subculture which has consistent names for factions or characters).
The Tech Heads come in various flavors and keep upgrading their Heads to fight off the Skibidi Toilets.
The battles increasingly rely on both sides absurdly upgrading their arsenals in over-the-top and sometimes downright Cronenberg-esque ways. It makes heavy, heavy use of Half Life 2 GMod assets that are heavily modified to be these freaky creations.
The main endings of the shorts are either Skibidi's winning and serving you up a jump-scare before a blackscreen, or the various Tech Heads winning and giving each other a thumbs up gesture. Over time, even these concepts are lampooned or used as misdirects.
Further, there has honestly been clever use of the different type of Tech Heads for storytelling and meta-storytelling devices.
It ends up in an all-out war that includes deep subterfuge on both sides. I won't say it's not creative, it's actually incredibly creative and well-put-together.
I just wasn't able to find the humor in it, personally.
Actually, it's a statement on how shitposting is killing traditional media
damn that actually sounds like a great read, never heard of that one before
Yeah, I mean, I'm a grown ass man, and I find watching it kind of like a guilty pleasure. I'll admit it.
I think it initially started off silly, but as the story started to unfold it just got less sillier and more darker because the story didn't need to be overtly silly.
Honestly the entire thing evolved quickly from silly random humor to a full-blown story with recognizable characters and drama.
