The Brief: The Versailles Run TikTok effect is being used as a meme to represent an individual dramatically fleeing from one location to another.
DEEP DIVE
The Versailles Run TikTok effect makes it appear as if a creator’s head is fixed on an animated figure running through a palace (the one in Versailles, perhaps). The effect is used to stress the speed in which one flees a scene or heads off in a haste to do something else. There are over 257,000 videos using the effect.
These memes are typically performed to a clip of Lady Gaga’s “LoveGame” on the app. There are over 116,000 videos using this audio on the app. This trend is associated with other songs as well.
But if I do, then I might miss you, babe
It’s complicated and stupid, got my ass squeezed by sexy Cupid
Guess he wants to play, wants to play a lovegame, a lovegame
These videos are meant to be humorous and/or relatable. Many can probably relate to having a friend try to link them with their crush.
