The Normal Cameramen are recurring characters within the Skibidi Toilet series, making physical appearances in most episodes. Notably, there are two distinct variations of Normal Cameramen: the Normal Camerawoman, who has only made one appearance, which was in Episode 29, and rarer variants known as Black Cameramen who possess enhanced capabilities compared to normal Cameramen.
As one of the most common and original Cameramen featured in the Skibidi toilet series, the Normal Cameramen play a prominent role and are frequently used as the POV-Cameramen who record the events of Episodes. Their primary roles within the film involve serving as soldiers or agents for The Alliance, more specifically, the Cameraman faction. Due to their widespread presence, the Normal Cameramen are considered the most prevalent type of Cameraman encountered in the series, hence the name.
Appearance
The average Normal Cameraman stands at around 195 cm, considerably taller than an average human around the world. Their most notable feature would be that they all have a white CCTV Camera with an additional flashlight for a head. Their normal apparel usually consists of white buttoned shirts with sleek black ties, black suits, black coats or long trench coats and dark gray shoes along with a pair of black latex gloves (The color of the gloves may differ). On some occasions, they can equip special gadgets such as headphones to protect them from the Speaker Strider's thunderous sounds, or customized Lenses to avoid being affected by the lights from the TV Men faction.
Underneath their clothes, Cameramen have white and grey robotic bodies, consisting of round segments and electrical circuits.
In earlier episodes, some Normal Cameramen had no gloves, revealing human skin under them, and on other numerous occasions, the likes of Normal Camerawoman would reveal human skin on her legs and around the neck. However, these Cameramen were removed shortly after their debut and thus are treated as non-canon/revised material.
In Episode 74, it was revealed that their coat and suit can be removed, turning into a 'casual' attire if they wish to.
Abilities
Initially, the Normal Cameramen were depicted as somewhat helpless in the early episodes of the series, often being easily dispatched by Normal Skibidi Toilets without much resistance. However, after the vulnerability of Skibidi Toilets was revealed in Episode 7, the Normal Cameramen adapted and learned to combat them effectively. They primarily engaged in hand-to-hand combat and demonstrated increasing skill as the series progressed. Despite their improved abilities, they remained vulnerable to Larger Skibidi Toilets and often relied on assistance from larger Alliance members, such as the Large Cameramen or the Large Speakermen, to overcome these formidable opponents.
However, after Episode 53, they were issued with Paralyzer laser rifles, which allowed them to stun small Skibidi Toilets with ease and also allowed them to take on larger Toilets.
In Episode 66, they are showcased to go into a Berserk mode that starts with them shaking rapidly in anger and then fighting head on without any equipment, the adrenaline boost of this state could likely improve their physical stats. This mode is also observed to be present in other races such as the Speakermen, and The Elite Fighters. This proves Alliance Members also have emotions.
They also can record footage for other alliance members to see, depending on how important the footage is; it may be shared with all The Alliance or they could change POVs as if they were channels.
Combat
Hand-to-hand combat
Normal Cameramen were originally weak against even small Skibidi Toilets due to lack of close combat. Over time, they adapted and became highly proficient when fighting. They can engage enemies using punches, kicks and flushing. Against smaller or unarmed skibidi toilets, they can kill them quickly during a fight.
Paralyzer laser rifle
As mentioned above, the paralyzer laser rifle were a weapon issued to the Normal Cameramen which allowed them to stun toilets much bigger than them.
Bolt rifle
The bolt rifle was another weapon that was issued for the Normal Cameramen, but was seen less. As the name suggests, it fires bolts that can penetrate to their enemies with efficiency.
Defense
Lens
Lenses are equipment that were given by the TV Men to protect them from Photon-Based Armaments. It used to be circular but that would be changed later on in their 2.0 version.
Miscellaneous
Flashlight
Most Normal Cameramen have flashlights attached to their cameras. These flashlights can be turned off and on, allowing the Normal Cameraman to see in dark areas when said flashlight is turned on, first shown in Skibidi Toilet 70.
Recording
The Normal Cameramen, or Cameramen in general, are capable of recording with their cameras. These recordings can be watched by other Cameramen, either via tablet or screen located inside the base. These recordings allow the other Cameramen outside of the battlefield to get intel on what is currently happening. However, as said in Skibidi Toilet 78, these recordings can be used against the Cameramen by said recordings getting accessed by enemies.

Trivia
- Besides the black suit, the Cameramen occasionally wear a different colored suit, tie, coat and shoes (blue, red, white, brown, gray, striped, etc.).
- Their camera models are an asset from INFRA (see here).
- There are three notable members within the Cameraman ranks, that being Plungerman, 51MP Cameraman, and Lucky Cameraman.
- In the earlier episodes of the series, there are instances where multiple Cameramen appear to have human skin visible beneath their gloves, with occasional exposure of the neck, revealing human skin as well. While this discrepancy is likely an animation error, its exact nature remains uncertain.
- As the series evolved, this detail was later rectified, with the Cameramen depicted as having a smaller, blackened neck instead.
- The cameras used as heads are CCTV cameras, commonly known as security cameras.
- They have also been shown to have metal under their gloves in later episodes.
- As the episodes go by, the Cameramen seem to have more detailed suits as seen in Episode 69, the fabric is softer and now moves when moving instead of staying still the entire time.
- We can see that their heads don't have exactly a neck or a floating; they have like a small tube connecting the camera to the body. They also had some wires attached to it.
