The Brief: "How's My Form?" videos are growing on TikTok. The trend consists of creators poking fun at parents and other creators. These videos often lean on stereotypes and biases to make the joke.
DEEP DIVE
“How’s My Form?” videos are growing on TikTok. The trend is marked by creators offering a tutorial to attract their desired audience. Once the music changes to 645AR’s “Yoga,” the creator begins to make fun of their audience while asking for advice on how to imitate them. The trend is marked by excessive emojis and an incredibly oversaturated filter, reminiscent of deep fried memes.
These videos rose in popularity around April 16. Some of these videos poke fun at parents and top TikTok creators.
This video pokes fun at popular creator Sheri Easterling (@Sherinicolee), TikTok star Addison Rae Easterling (@Addisonre)’s mom since she is known for rarely blinking in her TikTok videos. The video was liked over 83,600 times and and was viewed over 460,000 times.
