Origin and spread
The variation of brain rot meme combines three seemingly unrelated things in a phrase that gets stuck in your head, either because the words rhyme or sound similar. This version of the meme combines English soccer goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, any black Ford vehicle, the Gen Z term “skibidi,” and English soccer player Marcus Rashford.
The meme’s earliest appearance on TikTok was in July 2024. @coldplmr shared a video of the meme, along with the sound, where a text-to-speech voice says “Pickford Blackford Skibidi Rashford,” getting faster and more distorted with each repetition.
