TikTok Outage, ASMR, Bo Burnham’s “Inside,” Squishmallows and more!

Dena and Melissa begin the show discussing the TikTok outage on July 6. Then we talk about the buffering trend, featuring a video from @ourfilipinograndma. Melissa notes that this trend uses a song from Bo Burnham’s Netflix special “Inside.” In fact, a lot of new TikTok trends feature songs from Bo...and The Backyardigans, as @tylershealthylife explains. Dena explains ASMR on TikTok, mentioning accounts @snackshackslimes and @Crackingclayasmrr. We love a Duet from @averagefashionblogger. Melissa brings up Munchausen TikTok, featuring @adaptivekate and @ren.aissancewoman. Dena talks about the Charli D’Amelio and Squishmallows controversy, with videos from @jordynwoodknow, @thebrandwagon, and @clawcraziness. There are some hilarious videos making fun of Bee Tok, we feature @igorbieski and @drewbies.zoo. Melissa keeps seeing Stitches with this video of a baby doll hitting its head on furniture, she highlights a favorite from @littlefish_7. Dena loves a trend from @katiecoogan8 where you show off a terrible picture of yourself that your friends won’t let go of. Mini tomato tarts with @cookingwithpierre and pasta chips with @chefcuso round out our food trends this week. And we welcome celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Jones to TikTok.
