The Brief: Creators are contorting their faces and stretching their smiles with TikTok's Expressions filter.
DEEP DIVE
TikTokers are looking like The Joker thanks to the Expressions filter which stretches their smiles to the most ridiculous-looking lengths. The results are hilarious.
The trend is performed to “San Andreas (Radio Edit)” by Groove Delight. There are over 310,000 videos linked to the sound on the app and over 174,000 videos are filed under the filter.
Creator @peytoncoffee tried the filter while making a face that’s synonymous with smooth talkers and fuccbois — squinty eyes and a lot of neck movements included.
@peytoncoffee what is this filter
These types of videos become even more comical when an individual has no idea the filter is on them. This poor baby was left in utter confusion after their family burst into hysterical fits once the filter was on their face. This TikTok drew over 4 million likes.
