DEEP DIVE
TikTokers are poking fun at the times they’ve been surprised or caught off-guard by a rude or demanding statement. Creators typically lip-sync to audio that sounds like Shereé Whitfield, a former cast member of the Real Housewives Of Atlanta. The voice asks, “What happened to hello? How are you? My name is? What happened to that?” There are over 27,000 videos linked to the sound.
One of the most popular takes is from professor @sutherlandphys. It’s captioned, “When my student asks me whether I’ve graded the test from three months ago.” It received over 440,000 likes and 1.4 million views.
