Skibidi Toilet emerges as Year 12 exam meme moment
WA Year 12 students found the odd Skibidi Toilet meme in their final ATAR English paper.
Year 12 students in Western Australia shared reactions on TikTok after taking their final ATAR English exam on Friday, where they found a reference to Skibidi Toilet, the silly internet meme with animated heads popping from toilet bowls.
The three-hour paper had a question based on a Guardian article warning about internet-induced brain rot. The article used Skibidi Toilet as an example of content that rots people's minds.
Students said they tried not to giggle reading the line about "men's heads sticking out from toilet bowls while singing meaningless lyrics". The reference appeared in a section worth a third of the exam.
More than 13,000 Year 12s are taking at least one ATAR paper during the exam period. Last year, the viral exam moment was a magpie question.
The year before, Year 12s had to understand a picture of a Hills hoist.
