Michael Bay—the man who turned exploding microwaves into Oscar-worthy drama—just took to Instagram to shut down the internet’s most unhinged film rumor: that he’s directing Skibidi Toilet: The Movie.
In a video that’s equal parts “chill vibes” and “FBI interrogation”, Bay pans over a table stacked with scripts, deadpanning: “There’s not one in that little pile that says ‘Skibidi.’” Cue the internet screaming into the void.
But here’s the twist: This isn’t just a denial—it’s a masterclass in Hollywood chaos. Because Skibidi Toilet—a viral YouTube meme about singing toilet monsters—somehow has:
- An Oscar-winning VFX supervisor (Rob Legato)
- A former Paramount president (Adam Goodman) calling it “the next Transformers”
- Teasers on Bay’s own Instagram
This isn’t a rumor. It’s a glitch in the Matrix.
Why This Changes Everything (Or Nothing)
Let’s be real: A Skibidi Toilet movie sounds like Hollywood scraped the bottom of the IP barrel and kept digging. But here’s the insane detail no one’s talking about:
Adam Goodman’s production company already confirmed last year they were developing it. Not just as a movie—but as a “Marvel universe” of singing toilets. And now? Two Oscar winners are attached. This isn’t a meme anymore. It’s a movement.
Historical context:
- 2017: The Emoji Movie proved even the dumbest IP can get $200M.
- 2023: Universal greenlit a FnaF movie after YEARS of fan pressure.
- 2025: Skibidi Toilet might unironically win an Oscar for Best Toilet.
The Hidden Story: Bay’s 4D Chess Move
Bay’s denial isn’t just a denial. It’s a power play.
- The Misdirect: Bay’s “I’m not directing it” doesn’t mean he’s not producing it. (Remember: He exploded the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot without directing.)
- The VFX Clue: Rob Legato (Titanic, The Lion King remake) doesn’t join “joke” projects. This is real.
- The Bayhem Factor: If anyone could make “singing toilet horror” into a $1B franchise, it’s the guy who made “robots pissing on John Turturro” iconic.
Now Pick a Side
Is Skibidi Toilet:
- Genius trolling? (A24’s Beau Is Afraid had a pissing demon. This is just logical.)
- The end of cinema? (Next up: “YouTube’s ‘Baldi’s Basics’ directed by Christopher Nolan.”)
- Bay’s secret masterpiece? (“The toilets don’t sing. They scream.”)
