Rizzler Michael Bay Is Making a Skibidi Toilet Sigmatic Universe

As a long-time film enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the evolution of cinema, I find Michael Bay’s latest collaboration with Alexey Gerasimov to be an intriguing development in the industry. I must confess that until recently, I was not familiar with Gerasimov or his popular web series “Skibidi Toilet.” However, after learning about this unlikely pairing, my curiosity was piqued.


Michael Bay, known for directing films like “Armageddon” and “Transformers,” is joining forces with another prominent director, Alexey Gerasimov, to create a new cinematic universe.

Pause a moment. Have you heard of Alexey Gerasimov, the renowned filmmaker hailing from Georgia? He’s a prominent figure in the modern digital scene, known for his intriguing creations. His work includes “Skibidi Toilet,” an enigmatic machinima web series featuring sentient toilets with elongated necks and bulbous eyes. Gerasimov has published 76 episodes of this quirky production on his YouTube channel, DaFuq!?Boom!, which boasts a massive following of 43 million subscribers. The total number of views? A staggering 17 billion. This puts the toilet oddity phenomenon on par with other popular figures in the digital sphere, such as Mr. Beast.

On a recent episode of the Variety podcast “Strictly Business,” it was revealed by guest Adam Goodman, former president of Paramount Pictures, that Michael Bay and his collaborator Jeffrey Beecroft are planning to transform their YouTube series into a “hybrid animated-live action” film and television project. Goodman explained that Bay is teaming up with Gerasimov to develop the concept further, suggesting that Bay may not create an entire production using video-game mods alone. Goodman expressed excitement about the potential for this project to expand and enhance the storytelling, a viewpoint I share based on my brief attempt to watch the series online.

As a fan, I find it intriguing to observe how Establishment Hollywood is attempting to introduce a new cinematic universe, with a focus on appealing to Generation Alpha. No official studios or streaming services have been announced yet, but Michael Bay’s “Skibidi Toilet” project seems like an early indicator of what’s to come in the future of Hollywood filmmaking. Be sure not to miss Christopher Nolan’s upcoming production called “Cocomelon.”
