The creators of Garry's Mod have received a DMCA complaint for using images from Skibidi Toilet
Skibidi Toilet is a meme YouTube series about singing toilets with human heads. Garry Newman's sandbox creation, Garry’s Mod, recently faced copyright infringement accusations due to Skibidi Toilet-themed games made from the same assets used in the series.

Interestingly, Skibidi Toilet itself isn't made from original assets, but from Valve's Half-Life assets. These also form the base for Garry’s Mod.
According to a screenshot shared by Newman, the DMCA complaint against Garry’s Mod was filed by the production company Invisible Narratives, led by director Michael Bay and former Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman. Last week, it was announced that they are planning to create a full series and movie based on Skibidi Toilet. It seems Invisible Narratives wants to assert their rights over all Skibidi Toilet imagery.
Invisible Narratives has not publicly commented on the DMCA complaint. Alexey Gerasimov, the creator of Skibidi Toilet and known as DaFuq!?Boom!, stated he was not involved in the complaint and was as surprised as Newman.
