The lion/lioness doesnât concern himself/herself withâŠ
Film yourself doing something and add the caption: âThe lion/lioness doesnât concern themselves withâŠâ followed by something you should care about, but totally ignore instead.
For example, in the video below, the caption says âThe lioness doesnât concern herself with curbs,â while someone casually paints over the marks with a sharpie. Not exactly ideal⊠but definitely creative.
Watch the video
It can be anything you choose to ignore, like measuring ingredients while cooking, charging your phone before going out, or finally getting around to that one task you keep putting off.

I wish I were mysterious, butâŠ
Film yourself or post a video of you doing something that isnât exactly mysterious, and add the caption: âI wish I were mysterious, but IâŠâ
We all try to seem a little mysterious and cool sometimes, but most of us donât quite pull it off. Maybe you laugh too loudly, wear bright clothes, or just have a personality thatâs too open and bubbly to be mysterious.
Watch the video
Whatâs the one thing that completely ruins your mysterious image? Make a video out of it.

A little birdie
Film yourself with a friend or coworker you usually gossip with. Start the video as if someone just asked you, âHow do you know that?â Act casual while you answer, then slowly move the camera to reveal the âbirdieâ that told you: your friend dressed up as a bird.
Watch the video
Itâs simple and funny, especially if you really commit to the dramatic camera reveal.

Unfortunately, I do loveâŠ
Film a short clip of yourself and add text listing the things you canât help but love, even if theyâre a bit questionable. Maybe itâs that extra cup of coffee, staying up way too late, or telling your whole life story to new people.
Watch the video
The trend works best when it feels honest and playful. Keep it real, lean into your quirks, and have fun with it.

Watch the video
Then, add the caption, âBecause today would have been my birthday if I were born today.â Itâs a playful way to justify a little self-care or an impulse buy.

September 2025 TikTok trends
Go where the wind takes you
The saying âgo where the wind takes youâ usually means being adventurous. On TikTok, itâs become a funny way to show the everyday places people actually want to end up.
Some let the âwindâ blow them into bed, others into the fridge for a snack, or out for a drink with a friend. The joke is always the same: acting like you had no choice but to give in.
Watch the video
Brands can join in too. A coffee shop might show the âwindâ carrying someone in for their morning latte, or a food delivery app could show the wind pushing people to the couch while dinner arrives.

Life withâŠ
This trend shows how much your home changes once youâre sharing it with someone else. The setup is simple: one quick shot of your place when you lived alone, then a second clip of what it looks like now.
For guys, it might mean extra pillows on the couch, candles everywhere, or plushies taking over. Or the messier side, like hair, makeup, and clothes scattered around. For women, it often means a sudden invasion of gaming gear, action figures, or other classic âguy stuff.â
Watch the video
But it doesnât stop there. Some creators use the trend to highlight what life looks like with pets, roommates, or just the random things that end up in your house over time. The possibilities are endless, which is why the format keeps taking off.
Brands can easily join in by showing how their products change a space, think a pet brand highlighting toys scattered around, or a home dĂ©cor company showing a âbefore and afterâ living room setup.

Being a somethingaholic
This trend takes the idea of being âaddictedâ to something and spins it into quick, funny videos about everyday habits. For example, being a TikTokaholic. Creators film themselves at 2x speed, pretending to work or study but constantly reaching for their phone to scroll through TikToks. The fast cuts make the habit look even more ridiculous and relatable.
Watch the video
People are using the same format for all kinds of obsessions: sneaking snacks, making one too many cups of coffee, or falling into another online shopping spree.Â
Brands can easily join in by poking fun at their own products. A coffee shop could show someone becoming a latteaholic after the first sip, while a streaming platform might show a seriesaholic stuck binging late at night.Â

August 2025 TikTok trends
Worse⊠Iâm a gamer
The sound comes from the movie Good Luck, Have Fun, where a girl says, âThereâs so much you donât know about me.â The guy replies, âWhat are you, an axe murderer?â She pauses, then delivers the punchline: âWorse. A gamer.â
TikTok quickly turned this absurd exchange into a format for confessing their own âtoxic traits.âÂ
Watch the video
Instead of saying âa gamer,â people reveal something small but funny about themselves, like âI talk during movies,â âI canât ride a bike,â or âmy screen time is 10 hours.â

July 2025 TikTok trends
The Nicki Minaj pose
Nicki Minaj went viral on TikTok after thousands of people started recreating her iconic pose from a few years ago, sitting cross-legged in a bathing suit and heels. But it didnât stop there. People kept stepping up the challenge by sitting on higher heels, on top of taller surfaces, trying to show off their balance skills and outdo each other.

Iâll be there (threatening tone)
Whatâs a constant in your life?Â
Maybe itâs the water bottle you carry with you everywhere. Or that toy from your childhood youâve never been able to throw away. Maybe itâs your best friend whoâs been there for every important moment.
This TikTok trend is all about those little constants people hold onto. The videos are funny not just because of what people choose to show, but because of the audio. Itâs a line from The Boss Baby (2017), delivered in an overly intense and serious tone.
Watch the video
That dramatic delivery, paired with something simple or sentimental, makes the whole thing unexpectedly hilarious.

âIâm a mommyâ
If youâre watching Love Island, youâve probably already seen the viral moment between Huda and Nic thatâs all over social media. It goes like this:
Huda: Iâm a mommy
Nic: Mommy?
Huda: Iâm a mom
Nic: Mamacita!
Huda: No, Iâm a mom
Nic: Of what? A dog?
Watch the video
The whole exchange is so funny that it instantly blew up online. People on TikTok started recreating the scene, lip-syncing it, and putting their own spin on it.

Just a little something to take the edge off
Most people associate smoking with the idea of âtaking the edge off,â using a cigarette to relax or deal with stress. This TikTok trend picks up on that concept but gives it a lighter and more positive spin. Instead of showing a cigarette, people highlight the small things that actually help them feel better.
The trend usually starts with someone holding their fingers like theyâre about to smoke. But instead of a cigarette, they place something unexpected between their fingers: their dog, their best friend, a favorite meal, or whatever helps them feel okay.
Watch the video
The caption is always the same: âjust a little something to take the edge off.â

May 2025 TikTok trends
Men saying âgood nightâ to their friends
Women everywhere are asking their boyfriends or husbands to call their friends just to say âgood night.âÂ
Watch the video
The reactions? Pretty much what youâd expect: confusion, laughter, maybe a little irritation. God forbid your best friend tells you to sleep tight, right? Still, itâs funny every time.
Poisonous candy
This trend is basically a game for two people. It starts with each person secretly picking which candy is âpoisonous.â Once thatâs set, the game begins.Â
Watch the video
The players take turns choosing one candy at a time to eat, trying to avoid the poisoned one. The first person to eat the bad candy loses.
Blue shirt guy dance
Can you dance like this guy in the blue shirt? Thatâs basically the trend. A guy in a blue shirt does some smooth, unreal-looking moves, and now everyoneâs trying to copy them.Â
Watch the video
Is it AI? Doesnât really matter. His name? Who cares. Just grab a blue shirt and see if you can move like that.

My name isâŠ
No, itâs not a Slim Shady reference. Itâs actually a TikTok trend where you and your partner, family, or friends take turns introducing yourselves and actually revealing whoâs the responsible one in the process.Â
Watch the video
Like, you might introduce yourself by saying your name and that youâre the one who books the flights, pays for the hotel, and plans all the activities⊠and then the other person just says their name. Itâs a fun way to show whether youâre the hands-on, âIâve got thisâ person, or the one whoâs more like, âYeah, Iâll just show up.â No in-between!
How much was the bill?
Are you the one who always pays the bill, or the one who gets spoiled? This TikTok trend is all about the moment when someone asks, âHow much was the bill?â and then, after finding out the cost, replies with, âOh, itâs not that bad.â
Watch the video
Whoâs the one person you could participate in this trend with? Does your partner always pay for your meals? Or maybe you are the one constantly picking up the tab for your little sibling? Get them to make a cameo in your TikTok.

Jaws TikTok trend
Somehow, the Jaws theme has become one of the most relatable sounds on TikTok. People are using it to capture those moments when youâre suspicious, trying to stay calm, or quietly sizing up a situation like a shark.
But itâs not just about the music. The trend usually includes creators pacing back and forth at 2x speed, which gives everything this anxious energy. Itâs perfect for those moments where youâre clearly bothered but trying not to show it. Like when youâre running late and waiting on someone who has zero urgency, but youâre doing your best to look unbothered. Watch the example below.
Watch the video
To give one more example, another creator used this trend to describe how it feels when your flaky friend drops hints about having a headache, making you suspicious that theyâll cancel again. You get the point. It works best for those moments when youâre trying to keep your cool.

Ballerina cappuccina
This trend is big with cat videos, especially when they strike a pose that looks like a ballet move.Â
Watch the video
But it doesnât have to be a cat. Some people use their dogs, or a funny clip of their friends or coworkers dancing. Anything that looks dramatic, graceful, or just a little ridiculous fits the trend. The more over-the-top, the better.
đ¶ The link to this TikTok sound đ¶
God forbid
Whatâs something people always say about you? Do you gossip? Spend too much time on your phone?
This trend is all about embracing your quirks and having fun with them. Itâs about taking something relatable that people often point out and turning it into a funny moment. For example, one creator took the âyou gossip too muchâ comment and joked, âGod forbid I spread awareness.âÂ
Watch the video
People are getting creative by using everyday criticisms, whether itâs spending too much, being too loud, or turning up late regularly, and turning them into funny responses.

March 2025 TikTok trends
Rise and grind morning routine
@ashtonhallofficial went viral on TikTok after sharing his extreme morning routine, which includes some pretty unconventional habits. He wakes up at 3 AM, does push-ups on the balcony at 4 AM, and rubs a banana peel on his face at 8 AM. And thatâs just the beginning.
Brands like Duolingo have already jumped on the trend by recreating the routine in their own way. Their video amassed over 6 million likes.
Watch the video
If you want to join in, try following the routine yourself. Maybe youâll love it so much that it actually changes your life. Millionaire status incoming? Only one way to find out.
âAt this age, Iâm not meant to live an uncomfortable life.â
This line took TikTok by storm and became a trend of its own. If youâre not watching White Lotus, youâre seriously missing out. Parker Posey is delivering a stellar performance (sheâs winning an Emmy, mark my words), and this iconic line cemented her place in TikTokâs hall of fame. Mike White just has a gift for writing shows that create viral moments week after week.
Now, letâs talk about the actual trend and actually look at an example:
Watch the video
To join in, use the sound and lip-sync to the line while your caption highlights a relatable situation where comfort wins over practicality. Maybe you splurged on takeout instead of cooking or complained about having to work. Either way, lifeâs too short for inconvenience.

Parker Poseyâs White Lotus accentÂ
Speaking of White Lotus, Parker Poseyâs accent deserves its own TikTok trend. As Victoria Ratliff, a wealthy North Carolinian with a lorazepam addiction, Poseyâs unique way of stretching words like âtsunamiâ and âBuddhismâ is taking over the platform.
Exhibit 1: The Today Show host lip-syncing to Parker Poseyâs White Lotus lines.
Watch the video
Now, TikTok is flooded with fans lip-syncing her lines, especially the iconic âPiper, no!â People are ranking her most dramatic moments, doing their own impressions, and even cosplaying as her character.

How much do you like desserts?
This trend is simple but fun â it tests just how much you like desserts. To participate, use the viral sound from the game show The Floorâs face-to-face dessert battle. In this challenge, you react to each dessert based on how much you like it. For example, one creator pets their dog depending on how much they love each dessert.
Watch the video
Some people throw in Michael Jackson dance moves, while others might open their eyes wide â itâs totally random. The skyâs the limit, and you can choose any activity that feels right. Petting your pets seems to be the most popular choice, though.

Tate Mcraeâs âRevolving doorâ choreography
Tate McRaeâs dance moves at the start of her âRevolving Doorâ music video have gone viral on TikTok because theyâre so impressive. Even gold medalist Hezly Rivera joined the trend to give it a shot.
Watch the video
However, not everyone has had the same success. Some people, letâs be honest, might be a little delulu, thinking they can pull it off. But honestly, Iâm grateful for those fail videos; theyâre masterpieces in their own way, bringing a lot of laughter to those of us who are too afraid to even try.

I tried to be the sunâŠ
Finding the style that suits you best is often a journey of trial and error. Sometimes, you have to go through looks that donât work for you to discover what truly does. Thatâs the essence of this TikTok trend, which uses the sun and moon as a metaphor for personal style evolution.
For example, in a throwback post, TikTok creator @hannahanniex shared an old photo of herself as a blonde and compared it to her current look with dark hair and a different makeup style.Â
Watch the video
Honestly, she looks gorgeous in both, but itâs clear sheâs found a look that feels more like her. In the context of the trend, she explains her evolution as âtrying to be the sunâ in the past, and realizing sheâs more like the moon now.

Kendall Roy memeÂ
This picture of Kendall Roy (played by Jeremy Strong) from Succession is all over TikTok right now. People are using it to joke about the little things that make them feel like a serious businessperson or CEO, like checking emails in public or actually opening their inbox before TikTok in the morning.
Watch the video
If you want to hop on the trend, just think of something small that gives you that fake CEO energy. Maybe itâs aggressively typing on your laptop at a coffee shop, or saying âLetâs circle backâ in a conversation.

Clapping on beat
Can you clap on beat to Hilary Duffâs Come Clean? Thatâs the challenge people are giving to their partners, friends, and coworkers, and most of the time, they mess it up.

Microwave filter
AI TikTok filters still have a long way to go. Case in point: the microwave filter. Itâs supposed to make a person or pet in the photo rotate like food does in a microwave, just like in this video.
Watch the video
As expected, it doesnât always get it right. Instead of a cat, you might end up with a floating, rotating head thatâs both disturbing and hilarious.
If you want to get on this trend, youâll need to use this CapCut microwave filter. Try it at your own risk.
This was my favorite song when I looked like this
What was your favorite song as a kid that was totally inappropriate for your age?
For this creator, it was Candy Shop by 50 Cent⊠at the age of five. Probably not the best choice for a little girl.
Watch the video
People on TikTok are taking a trip down memory lane, looking back at songs they loved that didnât quite match their age. To make it even funnier, theyâre adding childhood pictures and playing the song over them, just to really set the scene.
My emergency contact
Whoâs your emergency contact? Probably the person you trust the most, right? Well, thanks to a new TikTok trend, people are starting to rethink that choice.
For example, one creator filmed their emergency contact ironing their clothes while wearing them. As youâd expect, they burned themselves in the process a little bit. Suddenly, they werenât so sure about their decision.
Watch the video
Now, think about your own emergency contact. Do they do something that makes you second-guess your choice? Even better, do you have it on video? If so, join the trend and share it on TikTok.

âIn a moment, it could all âboom.ââÂ
A new sound is taking over TikTok, a mashup of the line âIn a moment, it could all âboom.ââ from Arcane and the song âHeadlockâ by Imogen Heap.
Creators are mostly using it for transitions and before-and-after transformations like the one below.Â
Watch the video
Others are using it to highlight major plot twists in books, movies, and TV shows. The sound adds a cinematic feel, making it perfect for anything that builds suspense or takes an unexpected turn.

Do not come to my town
âDo not come to my townâ is basically a fun way of saying no. Itâs the perfect phrase for situations where youâd rather be left alone.
For example, if a friend invites you to hang out, but you already have a cozy solo day planned, you might say, âDo not come to my town.â Or if youâre sitting on the bus, and someone looks like they might take the seat next to you, this phrase captures that feeling of hoping they keep walking.
Watch the video
People are social by nature, but sometimes, your âtownâ is just for you, and youâd rather not have any visitors.

âYouâre so funnyâ
Can you think of a time when you had to use humor to get through somethingâmaybe an awkward moment that still sticks with you or even a tough experience? If so, thatâs all you need to join this trend.
Letâs look at an example.
Watch the video
A small confession mixed with a bit of humor, and people will either laugh, be a little surprised, or completely relate.

When I tell the robber take anything
The âWhen I tell the robber to take anything, and they take myâŠâ trend has completely taken over TikTok. People are using it to talk about their most prized possessions, filling in the blank with something theyâd be devastated to lose.Â
For example, âWhen I tell the robber to take anything, and he takes my work bestie,â followed by a dramatic âNo, not my bestie!â
Watch the video
But of course, TikTok loves a good twist. Some people flip the joke around by encouraging the robber to take something they donât actually want. Like, âWhen I tell the robber to take anything, and he takes my boyfriendâs Xbox,â with a sarcastic âDonât forget the headphones!â Others use it to poke fun at what little they have, like âWhen I tell the robber to take anything, and they take my money.â âNo, not my $1.45!â
What really made this trend take off, though, was the combination of a specific aesthetic: a series of whimsical rabbit paintings by Irena Aizen, all set to the dreamy soundtrack of âLa Petite Fille de la Mer.â

TikTokâs getting banned. Sike. Itâs back, and so is our TikTok trends series. So letâs see what trends you can participate in this month.
Timothée Chalamet meme
The most random things can go viral on TikTok. A good example is a clip of TimothĂ©e Chalamet hesitating before answering a question. People are using this video as a template to create funny and relatable content about those moments when youâre unsure how to respond.
Some have gotten more creative with it, like 9GAG who joked about realizing that sharing an idea at work might mean taking on all the responsibility for it.

Russell Crowe bad day meme
A line from Russell Croweâs movie in 2020 is going viral on TikTok. Specifically, itâs the line, âI donât even think you know what a bad day is.â People have turned it into a template to highlight the little things that seem to ruin their day. Basically, first-world problems.Â
For example, in the video below, a creator uses the line to describe the frustration of the McDonaldâs ice cream machine being broken again.Â

The idea is to take these small annoyances and, by pairing them with this dramatic movie quote, make them funny by exaggerating the situation.Â

Rap music meme
Thereâs a trend on TikTok where people highlight the unexpected contrast between their music preferences and their daily lives.Â

Imagine this: youâre in a noisy room, trying to understand what your friend is saying. They repeat themselves once, twice, three times, but you still canât catch it. How would your face look? Probably something like Emma Roberts in the picture below.
Watch the video
Thatâs the context behind this viral TikTok trend. People are using this image to describe moments of confusion or when something just doesnât click, like trying to understand the rules of a new board game.

Songs Iâd play ifâŠ
What songs would you play if you owned a store or a gym? Thatâs the idea behind this TikTok trend, and itâs something you could easily adapt to your own business. For example, check out how this physical therapy clinic got creative with it.
Watch the video
Itâs even better if you add a funny twist, like playing âBurnâ by Ellie Goulding in a spicy-wing restaurant.
Plankton meme
This SpongeBob meme with Plankton has become viral and used for capturing those everyday moments that frustrate everyone.Â
To participate in this trend, post the image below of Plankton looking defeated and add a caption about something small but relatable. It can be about waking up just before your alarm or realizing you left something important at home.

This trend works because itâs funny and taps into those little struggles everyone deals with. You can use it for all kinds of situations, from minor annoyances to silly personal fails, and people will instantly get it.

Paul Mescal meme
Who do you look at the way Paul Mescal looks at Daisy Edgar-Jones? That moment between the former co-stars went viral a few years ago, and now itâs resurfaced as a meme. Itâs used to capture the feeling of missing or wanting something, unattainable, or just better than what youâve got.
This meme works for all kinds of situations. For example, the post below perfectly describes how most people feel about the bond they had with old coworkers, compared to the new hires.
Watch the video
But it doesnât always have to be about nostalgia. It can also be used for something relatable, like how you stare at a takeout menu even though you know you should just eat the leftovers in your fridge.

Pepé the King Prawn
People are using a picture of PepĂ© the King Prawn to describe that awkward feeling when your brain just stops working. Like when an embarrassing memory pops into your head out of nowhere, or when someoneâs explaining game rules, and you just canât keep up.
Watch the video
The idea is straightforward and you donât even need to make a video. Just take the image of PepĂ©, add a caption about an awkward moment youâve had (something others can relate to), and youâre done.

Surprising groceries
This TikTok trend puts a funny twist on grocery shopping. Hereâs how it works: your parents, partner, or someone else gives you their card to buy groceries and whatever else is needed or something for yourself. But instead of sticking to the usual snacks or something small, you go completely overboard.
People are filming themselves unpacking their grocery bags, starting with the normal essentials before revealing the surprise item at the end like a new laptop or a cat.
Watch the video
This trend is also a great opportunity for brands to jump in and use their products as the âbig surpriseâ at the end.

November 2024 TikTok trends
A creature feature, featuring, the creature
This trend is perfect for telling a funny story with a twist or a surprise ending. The trick is to sync your story to the voiceover and use text overlays to share what happened.
Hereâs how it works: the audio goes, âIâm really excited for the new movie, I exclaimed with excitement. Little did I know, it would be a feature, a creature feature, featuring, the creature.â When the sound says, âIâm really excited for the new movie,â thatâs your setupâintroduce something you were super excited about at first.
Then, as the audio continues, you reveal the twist. For example, one creator used this sound to talk about their excitement when My Chemical Romance made an announcement. They were hoping for a new album, but when the voiceover says, âLittle did I know, it would be a feature,â they reveal the letdownâit was a tour announcement, and the band wasnât coming to their city.
Watch the video
As a brand, you can use this to talk about situations when things didnât go as planned or work-related frustrations. For example: âWe were so excited to implement a new system to improve productivityâŠâ (timed with âIâm really excited for the new movie.â) Then, as the audio says, âLittle did I know, it would be a feature,â reveal ââŠa feature that required three weeks of training and still confused everyone.â

Do you know them?
Have you ever pretended not to know someone? Letâs be realâweâve all done it, or at least wanted to, when someone does something we donât approve of. Thatâs the vibe of a popular TikTok trend right now. Itâs all about using a sound clip where one person asks, âDo you know them?â and the other replies with a deadpan, âNo,â while the beat of Pump It Up plays in the background.
Take this example: a recruiter jokes about âforgettingâ candidates they interviewed when those candidates follow up with an email. The idea is that recruiters meet so many people itâs hard to remember them allâobviously exaggerated for comedic effect (I hope).
Watch the video
But itâs not just individuals hopping on this trend. Businesses can have fun with it too. Imagine a hairdresser posting a TikTok using this sound, pretending not to âknowâ a client who dared to visit another salon.

Camera flip
What would you like to see as a âbest practiceâ in the world? Maybe you wish your boss would pay you more, or youâd love for your boyfriend or girlfriend to buy you more gifts. Whatever it is, you can tap into these wishes and join the trend by creating your own funny or relatable video. Some people even created videos from their petsâ side of view, like in the example below.
Watch the video
The idea is simple: Start by filming your surroundings, then overlay a text expressing a wish or something youâd like to see normalized in your life. For example, you might write, âGuys, we really need to normalize buying our girlfriends chocolate every day.â Then, hereâs the twist â you âaccidentallyâ flip the camera and reveal that itâs actually you making the video.
Brands can also hop on this trend and use it to creatively promote their products or services. For example, a spa could join the trend by saying, âWe need to normalize giving ourselves a spa day every week,â and then flipping the camera to show their relaxing spa setting.

Hyrax scream
If youâve been on social media lately, youâve probably come across a screaming hyrax on your feed. Honestly, I didnât even know these animals existed until recently, but thanks to this trend, Iâve discovered a new cute creature to âawwâ at.
As with most things online, people like to add their own meaning to everything â and the screaming hyrax is no exception. Its only defense mechanism is a loud scream, which sounds surprisingly like someone calling for their mom. This has sparked a wave of funny, relatable moments where people share times theyâve felt like screaming or calling out for their mom â like when itâs your turn at the cashier and your mom is still picking out the last item on the shopping list.
Watch the video
Brands can easily tap into this trend by creating content around these everyday âscreaming for helpâ moments. For example, a tech company could show someone struggling with a computer glitch and then calling out for tech support to fix it.Â
By using this trend, brands can show that they understand peopleâs everyday struggles and how their product or service is the solution when things go wrong.

What situations bring out your introverted side? Hereâs your chance to connect with other introverts globally and turn it into a meme. The best part? No need to film yourself. This trend features a clip of an adorable cat dressed as a witch, riding a broom.Â

For example, you could use this meme to show the cat disappearing when someone says, âLetâs go around the room and introduce ourselves!â or when thereâs a last-minute party invite after youâve planned a quiet night in.

Direct from Domingo
This TikTok trend kicked off with a funny SNL skit that everyoneâs been talking about. You can check out the skit here if you want the full story.

Wait, they donât love you like I love you
Whatâs something thatâs okay when you do it, but a problem when someone else does? Thatâs the theme of this video trend. It includes some simple choreography: raise your hand as if to stop someone when the lyrics hit âwait,â and then break into a little dance. Noting fancy, you wonât need your dancing shoes for this one.
Make sure to film the video at 3x speed. This means the video will be recorded in slow motion so everything moves quickly in the finished video. It might sound odd, but thatâs just how this trend goesâso have some fun with it.
For example, imagine youâre blasting music in your room â itâs fine when you do it, but when your roommate plays their music loud, itâs a different story.

A company could create a TikTok showing the âoffice yapperâ happily interrupting others to chat. But when someone interrupts them, they dramatically raise their hand to the lyric âwait,â and do a quick dance move. The video is sped up to keep it fun and lighthearted, highlighting workplace double standards in a humorous way.

Subtle foreshadowing
Have you ever captured a moment right before things take a hilarious or unexpected turn? With a bit of editing, you can transform that footage into a viral video. The trick is to blend the initial scenes with quick glimpses of whatâs coming up.
For example, if youâre editing a video of a friend walking before a fall, start with a first clip of them walking normally. Then, intermittently splice in brief clips of them tripping. End with a clip showing the full fall. Not sure what that looks like? Check out the example below.
Watch the video
This approach isnât just for laughsâit can work for brands too. If you run a restaurant, imagine a video clip that starts with a delicious meal and cuts to a squeaky-clean plate, highlighting how nothing was left behind. Or, if youâre an interior designer, show the transformation from the initial setup to the stunning final reveal.
Wrong answers only
Thereâs a fun trend on TikTok where you ask your colleagues simple questions like âWhatâs your job title?â, âWhatâs your name?â, or âWhat did you pack for lunch?ââbut with a twist. They should answer with something completely made up. Itâs a light-hearted way to break the routine and see how creative your team can get.Â

Signing old photos
We all have those old photos from years agoâusually from our Facebook daysâthat we look back on and laugh at now. And chances are, your team has some of their own memorable throwbacks too. Or maybe you have some fun pictures of them in your camera roll. This TikTok trend turns those old snapshots into something fun and playful.Â
Watch the video
The idea is simple: find an old, funny photo of one of your colleagues, print it out, and ask them to âsignâ it like they would a formal document. Record their reaction as they see the photo and realize what theyâre being asked to sign. Itâs a great way to capture some genuine laughs and surprises, and it makes for an entertaining, lighthearted video.
Compliments to the chefÂ
When was the last time you complimented the chef at a restaurant? Thereâs a new TikTok trend thatâs putting a fun twist on that old idea, and itâs quickly becoming popular. But hereâs the catch: instead of the usual compliments about the food, this trend is all about giving the chef compliments they wouldnât normally expectâlike calling them beautiful or praising their looks instead of their cooking skills.

This playful spin is what makes the trend stand out. Restaurants are jumping on board because itâs a creative way to engage with their audience and bring a bit of humor into the dining experience.Â
Yeah, I have a few options
Returns can be a hassle, but thereâs a TikTok trend that flips the script and makes it entertaining. This trend comes with a plot twist thatâs sure to catch people off guard.Â
The setup is simple: a customer approaches an employee wanting to return an item because their partner didnât like it. They ask for alternative options, and thatâs where the twist comes inâthe employee offers âoptions,â but instead of suggestions for another product, they offer new options for a different partner altogether.

Itâs a lighthearted way to turn an everyday situation into something unexpected and humorous. The format is easy to recreate, making it a fun addition to your TikTok while also giving your audience a good laugh.
Work doppelgÀngers
If youâve got two people on your team who look surprisingly alike, thereâs a TikTok trend thatâs perfect for clearing up the confusion. The concept is simple: get them together, record a short video using a specific sound that fits the trend, and show the world theyâre not the same person.Â

September 2024 TikTok Trends
âScram! Leave her alone! She doesnât want to talk to you.â
This viral TikTok trend revolves around using this sound in creative and funny ways to convey defensiveness or protectiveness. The key to nailing it is to come up with clever scenarios where this audio can fit, often adding a humorous twist.Â
For example, in one popular video, a therapist uses the sound to represent how she internally reacts when her patients engage in negative self-talk. Itâs a playful way to show how she mentally âdefendsâ them.
Watch the video
Other creators have jumped on the trend, using the CapCut template to act out situations where they get defensive about certain people, things, or even brands. Some examples include:
- âWhen anyone says anything remotely negative about Chiliâs.â
- âMe when someone calls my bestie their bestie.â
- âMe when someone gets loud with my work bestie.â
A fun offshoot of this trend is when people personify objects, tools, or even medication, turning them into the âdefendersâ in these imagined scenarios. Here are a few examples:
- âHow my email autoresponder replies to emails when Iâm on holiday.â
- âThe rose quartz in my pocket protecting me from bad energy.â
- âMy snooze alarm button in the morning.â
- âHow I imagine my ibuprofen attacking my headache.â
The versatility of this audio makes it perfect for a wide range of situations, from lighthearted jokes to more personal, relatable moments. Hereâs a link to the TikTok template if you want to try it out yourself.

The Chappell Roan and Phantom of the Opera mashup
Sometimes the best video ideas come from the most unexpected combinations. While Chappell Roanâs âPink Pony Clubâ and The Phantom of the Opera might not seem like an obvious match, this mashup somehow worksâand itâs gone viral on TikTok as a way to express relatable situations with a dramatic flair.
One of the most popular examples uses the mashup to capture the feeling of coming home to a messy room after rushing to get ready for a night out. The dramatic rise in The Phantom of the Opera portion of the song is timed perfectly with the reveal of the chaos, creating a theatrical, almost comical effect.
Watch the video
Other creators have jumped on this trend, syncing the audio with all kinds of creative scenarios. Some examples include:
- âMe the second the weather gets slightly chilly,â embracing a more gothic, autumnal aesthetic that matches the energy of the mashup.
- âMy home library during the day vs. during a storm,â showing how the atmosphere of the room shifts with the weatherâs intensity.
The dramatic song change is also perfect for Halloween-themed videos, with creators using it as a transition from their regular look to their Halloween costume when the music switches to The Phantom of the Opera.

Christina Aguileraâs iconic âyeahâ ad-lib
It all started with a promotional campaign from Just Eat UK featuring Christina Aguilera and Latto, where they sing a special song created for the companyâs food delivery service. In the song, Christina Aguilera delivers an extended âyeahâ ad-lib, which quickly became a meme on TikTok. Creators started using this sound to express moments of total agreement or satisfaction in various funny and relatable scenarios.
Watch the video
For example, one popular video pairs the âyeahâ with the feeling of joy when someone asks, âAre you okay if we reschedule?â Weâve all experienced that moment of relief when plans you werenât really up for get postponed, and this audio perfectly captures that sense of happiness.

When youâre running from the police and they sayâŠ
Imagine youâre being chased by the police. Why? It doesnât really matterâuse your imagination. Now, think about the best compliment someone could give you or your brand.Â
So here you are, sprinting away, cops hot on your heels, and suddenly you hear them say, âThe suspect has a muscular build,â or âThe suspect looks like Jessica Alba.â What are you going to do? At that point, itâs only polite to stop running and take a moment to appreciate the compliment, right?
Thatâs exactly the playful vibe behind this trend. Take a look at how Flame & Skewers, a Mediterranean restaurant, jumped on it. They posted a video with the caption, âThe suspect is holding the best shawarma in town.âÂ

This trend is all about using a little humor and creativity to put a spotlight on what makes you or your brand stand out.

I hope she/he playsâŠ
The formula for this viral clip is pretty straightforward: hope + popular artist + song name. Thatâs about as close to doing math as TikTok ever gets.
The whole joke hinges on being hilariously out of touch with the reality of the situation. Essentially, itâs about thinking youâre at a concert for a trending artist or song, when in fact, youâre somewhere totally unrelatedâlike a bookstore or a fast-food drive-thru.
Confused? Letâs break it down with an example: A customer at Barnes & Noble says, âI hope she plays âHot To Goââ (a trending song by Chappell Roan), only for the staff to respond, âGirl, these are the Barnes & Noble closing announcements.â The humor comes from the total mismatch between the expectation and the reality.
Watch the video
Brands can totally get in on this trend by playing up the mismatch between expectation and reality. For instance, a coffee shop might post, âI hope she plays Anti-Hero,â and cut to the barista saying, âThis is your caramel macchiato order.â Not to mention that this would work perfectly for your upcoming events.
There is no wrong way to do this trend since itâs such an absurd ludicrous already.

Watch the video
To join this trend, youâll need two participants: one who understands that âmoneyâs tightâ this week and treats might be limited, and another who just canât accept it and is willing to do whatever it takes to get those treats. Itâs a simple and fun way to engage your target audience with plenty of room for creativity.

Yeaaaah, yeeaaaah!
Just get used to the headings not making sense, weâre trying. Now, letâs explain this trend.
The sound comes from Gravity Falls, an animated TV show, and it goes, âYou can always disintegrate me with water. Yeaaah, yeaaaah!â Donât ask about the context of the episodeâwe didnât get that farâbut hereâs what you need to know.
The idea is to replace âYou can always disintegrate me with waterâ with a realization of your own, like âYou can always change your hairâ and then make a transition, or âYou can always order tasty food,â or âYou can always buy a new dress.â It works best when youâre referring to a small way to cope or make your day better.
Just make sure to add your new context as a text overlay on the video so your audience gets the joke. Hereâs an example:

For brands, it could work like âYou can always grab a Starbucks,â âYou can always shop on Amazon,â or âYou can always book a trip on Airbnb.â
