Times Square Airs 'Overwatch Skibidi Toilet' Video, Leaving New Yorkers And Internet Memers Questioning Their Sanity

Did you know that for $40 they'll basically let you put anything on a Times Square billboard?

This was the discovery of eight passionate fans of the Overwatch 2 character Venutre, who spent the money to get a 15-second Venture slideshow that featured a Skibidi Toilet edit with the character broadcast to an untold number of New Yorkers.

The "Skibidi Venture" video was spearheaded by Twitter / X user @TheTrainiscool, who, according to Kotaku, put it together with seven other devoted Venture players.

The letters at the bottom left of each Venture picture represent the initial of the submitter. It was uploaded through the TSX app, which allows users to pay to put basically whatever they want on a billboard in Times Square. It was the same app Pikmin fans used to air Dandori Issue videos on the same billboard last year.

The surreal stunt caught the attention of Venture actress Valeria Rodriguez, who expressed her delight and gratitude for the bizarre Venture tribute.

Others were left jaws agape at seeing yet another "Skibidi Toilet" meme in real life, weeks after Stephen Colbert aired a bizarre Skibidi Biden skit to the confusion of American audiences.

Many Venture fans pointed out the stunt was more marketing for Venture than Blizzard has done itself. Venture has lacked the typical pomp and circumstance Blizzard typically gives new "heroes," such as a Legendary skin or an Origin Story video.
