The “Are You Not Ashamed Of Yourself? Are You Not Embarassed?” TikTok trend see creators calling out themselves for self-deprecating behavior, low self-esteem, and immaturity. The trend is intended to be funny.

There are over 22,000 videos linked to the sound. This trend began growing in popularity in mid-September. The audio traces back to YouTuber Nella Rose’s July 31 story time about her online shopping experiences. In it, Rose said, “Are you not ashamed of yourself? Are you not embarrassed? This is really embarrassing.”

The audio became a meme on TikTok after it was shared in @Theeserena’s  Aug. 21 video.

The trend has been performed by some of the most popular creators on the app, including Tana Mongeau. Her video captioned “When the walls in the background by your waist are wavy and you don’t notice until people in the comments tell you” garnered over 1.8 million views and 248,000 likes.
