Fortnite loves its unusual crossovers, and fans too are seated for this - from Marvel superheroes to the infamous (at least, for the gamers) Peely the Walking Banana. However, the latest addition, aka, a collaboration with the viral Skibidi Toilet series—has left fans kind of confused and certainly divided.
While some players are embracing the quirky (read: odd and generally disliked) and chaotic spirit of the new collaboration, others are struggling to reconcile the already zany world of Fortnite with the strange Skibidi Toilet characters, known for their surreal, toilet-centric videos.
The crossover has sparked heated online Twitter feuds, with reactions ranging from reluctant acceptance to outright feelings of being 'icked out'. What’s especially interesting is that while many are not exactly thrilled, they're not exactly calling it the worst thing ever either. As one user cheekily pointed out,
Fortnite is well-known for breaking boundaries with crossovers, but Skibidi Toilet might be the game’s most polarizing collaboration yet. What happens when a beloved game that has embraced walking bananas, aliens, and even real-life influencers throws a viral meme into the mix? Let’s dive into the reactions, both positive and not-so-positive, as fans attempt to defend Fortnite in the face of its newest absurd addition.
Fans react to the Skibidi Toilet crossover
As soon as the Skibidi Toilet collaboration was teased, Twitter was flooded with fan reactions—many of them hilarious, if a little bewildered. One user playfully addressed the situation:
“How it’s gonna feel seeing someone post the most horrendous take about Fortnite knowing I can’t say shit because Skibidi Toilet is now in the game.”
This tweet quickly became a focal point of the debate, with fans chiming in to defend, poke fun at, or completely dismiss the collaboration. And of course, one of the standout replies—
“Never said it was bad”—captured the awkward position many fans seem to find themselves in: not quite hating the update, but also not entirely loving it.
Some fans, however, saw the humor in it all.
“Why is that a bad thing, it’s awesome!” one tweeted, suggesting that the chaos Skibidi Toilet brings is perfectly in line with Fortnite’s ridiculousness.
Another user added a dramatic flair, joking:
“Me and my friend have made a legally binding agreement that while we are playing Fortnite, if we see anyone using anything Skibidi Toilet-related, no matter how far away they are, it’s on sight immediately.”
For some players, the crossover has become a new excuse for in-game mischief.
Others used the opportunity to critique Fortnite’s broader direction. One fan noted,
“Hot take nowadays, but it became cringe the moment they started adding real people in the game. Like, Skibidi Toilet changes nothing in a game featuring Peely the walking banana, Perfect Cell, Thanos, and Khaby Lame.”
The addition of pop culture icons has long been a point of contention, and Skibidi Toilet has only fueled that fire.
Still, some fans were more sentimental about Fortnite’s past, with one user commenting,
“It was a good run, you can rest now.”
Another added,
“Move on bro, you only hate Skibidi Toilet because everyone you know hates it,” calling out what they saw as herd mentality among critics.
Finally, perhaps the most reflective take came from a fan who pointed out the generational divide:
“It’s funny watching Fortnite kids act like having Skibidi Toilet in the game makes it any more childish. Fortnite and Skibidi Toilet are the exact same joke in the eyes of the older generation.”
In a way, this sums up the whole debate—what’s cringe to some is simply part of Fortnite’s ongoing absurdity to others.
Skibidi Toilet: A background of weirdness
For the uninitiated, Skibidi Toilet began as a viral meme series centered around absurd, toilet-related characters. The bizarre concept quickly gained traction across social media, particularly among younger audiences. The series is an offshoot of the larger meme culture that thrives on randomness, making it a surprisingly fitting match for Fortnite’s world, which has always been a mishmash of pop culture references, memes, and surreal humor.

This isn’t Fortnite’s first foray into meme culture, either. The game has consistently tapped into internet trends, from the inclusion of dance emotes to skins that reference viral content. The Skibidi Toilet collaboration, while strange, continues this tradition of bringing the latest internet sensations into Fortnite’s already eclectic mix.
Whether you love it or hate it, the Skibidi Toilet update is undeniably Fortnite at its most bizarre. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that Fortnite thrives on pushing the envelope—even if that means flushing traditional expectations down the toilet.
