Today would have been my birthday if I were born today
Film yourself indulging in something you want, like buying new clothes, going to the spa, or booking a trip.Â

Add a caption that gives it a personal touch, for example, “Getting a new dress because today would have been my birthday if I were born today.” Makes sense to me.Â

The therapy
Film yourself with the overlay text “I can’t today, I have therapy.” In the next shot, show yourself doing your version of “therapy,” but it doesn’t have to be literal. It could be something indulgent like shopping.Â

You could also show something heartwarming, like cuddling with your pets, or a hobby you enjoy, such as reading or playing tennis.Â

When we’re having a serious conversation, but..
Film yourself acting like you’re having a serious conversation, but clearly getting distracted by something you want to do. For instance, in the example below, the creator reenacts having a serious conversation while out having matcha with a friend, but still sneaks a selfie and takes a picture of the drink.

Speeding up the video to 2x makes it funnier and adds a playful, exaggerated effect.

He/she/they don’t know it yet, but
Take a video or upload an older clip from before something happened. In the example below, the creator films the cook before reaching out to him to do a TikTok for the restaurant page, playfully suggesting that he really doesn’t want to do it. Behind-the-scenes moments like this can make your brand feel more relatable.

You can have fun with this trend by making relatable content about minor annoyances or everyday inconveniences and exaggerating them for comedic effect.

Who are you trying to impress?
Film yourself working, studying, or practicing and add a text overlay that says, “You’re working so hard, who are you trying to impress?” Then transition to a photo of yourself as a kid, your parents, or someone special in your life. The key is to make it heartwarming.Â

You can also make it funny by adding a picture of your pet and joking that your hard work is all to buy them treats.
