Summary

Our upcoming episode is about the massively successful and deeply uncanny YouTube series Skibidi Toilet, the first content that Generation Alpha's influence has made into a world-wide sensation. Billions of views on YouTube and TikTok are attributed to the original videos and the innumerable fan videos that followed, and soon we may see this bizarro phenomenon on the big screen with a famous director attached. Skibidi Toilet has been called both brainrot and dangerous to the youth, and in this Context Clues episode we will explore transgressive creations of previous generations as well as some other online content that has inspired moral panics.

1:09.5	dank memes are aging out of the conversation.
1:15.0	Now it's skibbity toilet this and skibity toilet that,
1:20.0	and oh my God, many if not most of you are probably screaming, and I mean screaming into the black vacuum of your smartphone screen, what in the living, breathing hell is skibbitty toilet?

2:25.8	skibity. If you've never heard the word skibity,
2:29.6	you probably will now, the way you hear a new word one day and suddenly it's everywhere.
