First off, let’s discuss in regards to the crossover itself. We first discovered about it earlier this week by way of leakers, adopted up by a affirmation from the official Fortnite X account of a rest room, plunger, and digital camera emoji in succession and a date: December 18, 2024. The precise replace went stay final evening, and features a Skibidi Bathroom bundle on the merchandise store (discounted to 2,200 V-bucks on the time this piece was written) consisting of plunger pickaxes, a Plungerhead character pores and skin, and two backpacks: one which goes with the Plungerhead outfit, and one other that’s the iconic Skibidi Bathroom himself.

That is it for the collaboration, although with the latest return of the unique map and the Flush Manufacturing unit, there’s already a conveniently toilet-themed location simply ready to be flooded with Skibidi nonsense:
The addition of Skibidi Bathroom to Fortnite is being met with some blended emotions from the neighborhood. There are some naysayers who really feel that Fortnite has gone too far incorporating the favored meme, suggesting it is juvenile and indicative of a slide into complete absurdity for what’s deemed worthy of a collaboration:
That stated, the overwhelming majority of oldsters appear to vary from mildly amused to chaotically delighted, even those who don’t know what Skibidi Bathroom is.
All in all, the decision of the Fortnite neighborhood appears to be that the Skibidi Bathroom addition to Fortnite is an effective time, at minimal as a result of the Plungerman pores and skin is fairly cool.
In case you, like some members of the Fortnite neighborhood, have completely no concept what this rest room factor is, this is the fast rundown: Skibidi Bathroom is a sequence of internet shorts by Alxey Gerasimov printed on YouTube by way of Gerasimov’s channel, DaFuq!?Increase!. And by shorts, we do imply very brief – early episodes are solely a handful of seconds lengthy, and have been created with Garry’s Mod utilizing belongings from video games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike. The sequence encompasses a rest room with a person’s head popping out of it set to a mashup of the songs Give It to Me by Timbaland and Dom Dom Sure Sure by Biser King. Whereas early episodes are considerably nonsensical, because the sequence progresses a plot emerges about an arms race between the Skibidi Bogs (of which there are various of various sizes and with totally different heads coming out) and a race of individuals with video cameras for heads. The plot progresses from there, extra just lately centering on a cameraman named Plungerman and involving alien Skibidi Bogs.
The entire thing, whereas absurdist, is way extra advanced than you may think simply from seeing the picture of the top in the bathroom. Actually, it is obtained sufficient occurring (and is well-liked sufficient) that there is reportedly a movie and TV adaptation effort underway from Michael Bay.
In case you love Fortnite however Skibidi Bathroom continues to be a bit a lot for you, don’t fret. The sport will get so many fixed collaborations, the toilet-fest will shortly be drowned out by the subsequent large factor, which occurs to be Mariah Carey rising from an enormous block of ice to ring within the holidays. It is nearly time!
