I Made My Friends Watch The Worst Tik Tok Memes

I don't I know another YouTube video about tick-tock let me explain about a week ago I like you probably saw that like everybody was talking about this app and in making videos about how crunchy it was I figure I'll download the app I'll find some cringy videos react to it I can call it like tick tock is the worst staff of all time and be done with it hey Williams with the black goo weather report alie this rain in sideways sounds rough Ollie do you have an umbrella had one where is it inside out two miles away is there anything we can do for you bring me some soup what kind Chucky's ha ha wow this guy really got him they weren't expecting their tick-tock to be used in that way at all this is so cringy so I download the app and what actually happened I can't was was so much weirder than I expected Jarvis is descent into madness I feel like I got trapped than a tick-tock wormhole for like three straight days what do you think about tick tock um what are my thoughts on tick tock I don't know it's real anymore greetings earthlings I'm Jarvis the internet anthropologist and today we're gonna be talking about tick tock which I truly believe is one of the most important platforms of our time for the memes much like the Greek myth of Icarus who with wings made of feather and wax disregarded his father's advice and flew too close to the Sun causing his wings to melt and for Icarus to fall to his demise tick tock in its journey for virality and cultural relevance also flew too close to the sign except for in this case the Sun is more like buying too many YouTube ads and instead of falling into the ocean they turn their entire community into meemers I'm just trying to say that tick tock is collapsing in on itself what once was a haven for cringy but ultimately harmless children asking the age-old question of why do [Music] [Applause] has now become a den of honestly hilarious memes in irony but we'll get into that I did a poll last week on my YouTube community asking if you guys had heard of tick tock and astonishingly nine percent of you hadn't one of my favorite answers to the question of what is tick tock comes from one of the comments that says tick tock is literally just musically turned into vine okay mrs. puff what's my final score six six hundred yeah and if that doesn't help because you're not 12 years old then think of tick tock like a window into the true nature of humanity by the way if you are 12 hey there how is it going um thank you so much for watching my video I am 100 years old so it's really exciting that you can even understand me you're already tracer but I wanted to be tracer and I guess I'll just have to learn one of these pub G dances I'm gonna die soon real quick if you aren't watching your 100th tick tock video tick tock it's a social video sharing app it has a ton of features for editing videos and making them look really cool it used to be used primarily for for lip syncing and in looking cute so that you could get like enough likes to become the next Jacob sartorius or like whoever these guys are no shade to them by the way it's just that so much of this app feels like thirst traps for preteens and that makes me very uncomfortable I have spent way too long on this out even elders react to beat me to making a tick-tock video but if this isn't your first stick stop video it'll certainly be your last that sounds like a threat I just mean you'll learn everything you need to know also there's a ton of copyrighted music and tic TOCs so I'm just going to turn off ads for this video that's right I'm Dee monetizing myself all right so I think it's time that I I finally checkout tick tock I'm not gonna pretend like I don't know what it is like I've watched PewDiePie's videos on it and stuff and now I've been watching like me compilations or cringe compilations but I've never used the app so I'm just going to download that and see what's up [Music] I mean it's it's very impressive I just it's just weird that this is like literally the first thing I saw when I open the app oh my good old check engine light came on while I was drivin so let's get out and see still there wasn't the original purposes app to like lip-sync two songs I haven't seen that at all yet that Jimmy Fallon Jimmy Fallon isn't this app tumbleweed you know that wizard cursed me and now I have to do the tic-tock challenge whenever you say the word [Music] this makes me so uncomfortable and I also thought it would be a good idea to ask my co-workers what what they knew about tick-tock because um nothing like slacking off at work Hey so could you tell me your name my name is Alexis day yeah I'm Matthew my name is Sean had to kill Elizabeth can you tell me Elizabeth what do you know about tick-tock I know I think it's like vine I know that it's like people making videos and in you can react to that video I've heard the Ke$ha song I know what you showed me in an uber three days ago which was about ten minutes of tick tock compilation yeah you make it sound like that's like a normal thing for me to do yeah it wasn't held against my will forcibly to watch tick tock video there we go that's what I needed unlike now the doors closed my impression of it is it's just like 12 year olds who show up and cringe compilations on YouTube I'm Jenna I'm very curious [Music] [Applause] this question for a room [Music] [Laughter] see I haven't seen any of these veteran videos what's the point of this like a meme is it I mean why is this song that's I no one knows no one says respect our true well my reaction of this is I'm unsure of this girl's age [Music] [Laughter] they're all they're all just lip-synching it's pretty good lip-syncing just like me but on yes no dude progressed oh my god Sophie what are you doing Sophie your feet are right there the gas in the break are down there a little like attention-seeking is it normal I still don't know what the app actually does I don't understand how so many different people found it it's not like we saw one type of person over and over yeah it just this might be the unity our country I'm done I've basically been using the app like all day on and off I haven't seen anything too too awful but like everything is kind of the same it's like the same ten songs and like people aren't really deviating from just doing the challenges which is kind of strange just to watch the same thing over and over and over and over super weird let's look at some of the ones that I've picked this is the the curated select this is the curated selection because I want to emulate the journey that I personally went on in this app I'm really scared [Music] ah quick all right god there's so much time if you're gonna do an entirely hand model focus video cleaning your nails yeah it's a realistic [Music] I don't get it yeah oh no is unacceptably cut response shot the sneaker collection because those are expensive shoes right [Music] search for the phrase of life got it I thought they were trying to make the painting appear after the first day I felt kind of bored mostly because I felt like everything had already been talked about already with the app obviously there's a lot of kids there's a lot of people being earnest every time you think you've seen something unique there are hundreds of other people who have already done that thing like I'm being too too negative like there was totally impressive stuff like Tony Hawk is using tic-tac [Music] and and he's just doing it for just just for fun cuz he just loves the app and not at all because he was paid money then I realized that I wasn't telling tick-tock what I wanted to see their front page is is just like a big feed it's a big algorithm yep so I changed that today I've been I've been liking everything that was actually funny that came through the app and now it's pretty entertaining it's somebody starting to give me a bit of a vine vibe but like vine I guess there are a lot of people missing the mark calm down but this is supposed to be your friend should I keep doing pranks I'm not gonna I'm not gonna unpause that what I was going to say is that there are a lot of kids chasing and here's a great example let's make this go viral there's not only a lot more memes than yesterday and also a lot of trolling I thought this app is engineered to have these viral moments like I think they know the crazy stuff is good for them some of these are still like cringing Lee earnest [Music] one of the comments on these really earnest videos even say do you want to join my gang there are tons of memes on tik-tok that's no secret but there they're all the same memes like I feel like we had like eight memes like two months ago and and and then we still have those memes everything felt like some version of I want to be tracer in this video she got ripped to shreds because the song is about a video game and she says every name of every character wrong and then also she's got a controller that the game isn't no no hands challenge where did this if if those your hands then what's holding the phone and it's your mouth or something else and that's the joke actually to know the names of them off the top of my head but feel very repetitive actually organized like over a hundred tic TOCs for the purpose of this video and for showing showing my co-workers Jarvis's descent into madness so one of my co-workers just sent me like a French video that I can I can link in the description but like about a side of tick-tock where they're just like creepy dudes preying on really young kids who are just trying to like have fun in the app and stuff so that took a turn I don't know what to say or do about this but I just wanted to call it out because it's like super awful and they really need to fix it because it you know they've got like billions of dollars in funding so they absolutely no excuse I mean I definitely think that horrible people are in the minority on the app from what I can tell the majority of the users are old people who actually have no idea what they're doing but are kind of cute does she have a toilet paper roll wrapped around her neck uh gamers veterans people in the military police you know public servants we just I don't know kind of wholesome and last but not least the bread and butter young people chasing likes and clouds oh and and flexing like there are so many preteens flexing on me at all times there are so many children showing off their Yeezys for some reason sorry this couch is kind of uncomfortable that's better so at this point I was actually having a lot of fun in the app despite the fact that everything was like the same jokes over and over and over but I guess that's how memes work it seemed like the more I watched the stronger and more self referential the memes got and that's when it got weird [Music] [Music] [Music] okay I don't know what the [ __ ] is going on anymore I don't know what I searched or what hashtag I used but like the whole app is just memes and references now and the worst part is that I understand all of it like there's a there's a furry war going on between gamers and furries and sometimes it seems like hateful alright boys boys don't shoot its general token fat kid I've secured myself behind enemy lines and I'm going in girls you keep making those sandwiches and in other times it seems like everybody's in on the joke and there's there's there's there's women and maybe they're always in the kitchen and they make sandwiches why are they all in the kitchen it seems like they're they're having fun [Music] [Laughter] [Music] what a cool guy is it hey furries we're all making a joke this is like the problem with irony on the Internet is that like after a certain point you you just can't tell what's real and what's not well it seems at least the ones I saw it feels like we're all playing the same game which is kind of nice yeah right like the women the girls are like hahaha sandwiches yeah yeah and last like oh of course if you don't like furries go away don't shoot it's me we've ran out of bread and I had to go protected on the street I need to make sure you've gamer voice don't go hungry did I imagine imagine paying $10 and going to a movie theater this is the feature layer ha ha ha ha just enough of these clips stitch together ok so final final thoughts I kind of like the app like but only because you can kind of tell things aren't going exactly the way that tik-tok wants them to and the community is like doing really weird stuff so I'll like classify this under interesting internet moment okay so final thoughts on a tick-tock what do you think um what are my thoughts on tick-tock I'm still processing what I saw I feel like I'm not with it I really hate saying this like I was enjoying it by the end um some of it was funny I liked some of it mm-hmm but I think if I looked up this app for more than ten minutes I would corrode yeah I mean I'm not one of those like old like hate on everything that other people are doing types so seems fun can I give a sincere answer yeah yeah that's what I want oh okay bunch of your new stars came out of you know wine and I wonder if we otherwise the same thing happened here yeah yeah and it really looks like there are some some creators that might become like you know might do this more seriously because there's like if presumably they do it again and again are they're getting viewership maybe it would be encouraged to you know take it more seriously well that that's a really nice nice take I don't know what I was expecting I thought you might be more negative I guess it's not the worst thanks to Leah Isabel for turning on notifications I have no idea if I'm saying that right if you want me to brunch of your name follow me on Twitter or Instagram at Jarvis because I got at Jarvis on Instagram recently and I'm really excited about it okay so I got brain consistency except on YouTube
