I Smell A New Viral TikTok Sound

FRIDAY, APRIL 14 2023

Happy Friday! It's the beginning of the weekend and a beautiful day so I won't waste any time preambling today's internet catchup. We've got a doozy with some up-and-coming viral TikToks, a video taking finance bros by storm, and more. Enjoy! ✨

"hAy BaBy HoW aRe YoU?!"

I spend so much time on TikTok that I feel like I have a sixth sense for what sounds will soon go viral. So when I stumbled upon this iconic video (from January, but it's been gaining traction the last few days) I knew I had to share it with my fellow Chronically Onliners. So far, it's been used for those situations when you forget to text back your bestie after a serious convo, those facetime moments with your childhood pet, losing track of time at bottomless mimosas, and *actual* baby moments. Mark my words, you'll have this sound stuck in your head soon.

Money Mania

A resurfaced clip of an old Dave Ramsay video is going mega viral on TikTok and people have *lots* of thoughts. Ramsay — whose advice should be taken with a grain of salt — and the TikTok comments are shocked at a caller who, along with their partner, have accrued almost $1 million in debt despite being less than 35 years old. A lot of people found Ramsay's reaction harsh, but many also expressed horror at the idea of being in a similar situation. Now we need a follow up!

Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog

I'm a longtime fan of TikTokker @pearliesparklez and her unhinged — but hilarious — videos. Her most common shtick is asking unprepared strangers in public places to film her, before doing a loud and, frankly, startling dance. But a recent video might be my favorite of all, because the people she asked to film turned out to be huge fans. The ensuing interaction is so wholesome, funny, and chaotic it has to put a smile on your face.

The Bra Struggle

A tweet calling out Brie Larson's outfit has sparked a discussion on bras and it seems like we're all in agreement on at least one thing. The tweet specifically compliments the fit of Brie's bra under her shirt, the kind that's notoriously difficult to wear a bra with (IYKYK). And, at 301,000 likes, she's definitely not the only one asking "how'd she do that?" Now, Brie has responded with the secret: an engineered bra designed just for her. If only it were that easy! Even Brie acknowledged the ridiculousness of having to customize a bra, so maybe we'll see a celeb lingerie line in the future?
