The Skibidi Challenge originated from the music video for the song 'Skibidi' by the Russian rave band Little Big, released in late 2018. The video features lead singer Ilya Prusikin and a cast of characters performing a distinct, rhythmic dance involving synchronized arm movements and a robotic walking style. It quickly became a global viral sensation, prompting users across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to film themselves attempting the dance in everyday or absurd situations. The meme captures a sense of infectious, chaotic fun and is used to represent moments of sudden excitement or the irresistible urge to join in on a catchy trend.
