TikTok Trends Wrap Up

Dena and Melissa start the show chatting about Dena’s new viral videos: 2020 TikTok highlights and the Kardashians compared to characters in The Crown. Dena tries to convince Melissa to watch The Crown, but she prefers The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. They discuss if Brooks Marks has a TikTok and creating one for “hospital smell.” Dena is sending Melissa a 2 Old 4 TikTok shirt, but neither of them know how to ship things. They once again rip apart the D’Amelios off-putting YouTube series and a video called “Coke & Mentos With Salem Ilese,” and discuss Dixie’s new song, “One Whole Day” featuring Wiz Khalifa. With Straight TikTok grievances out of the way, they move on to explain the latest TikTok trends: Grace Groski’s (@theofficialgracegroski) rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” set to people sharing traumatic stories that just get worse and worse, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Girl’s in the Hood” as the background to women doing mundane things with #HotGirlShit, and Championxiii’s “Boo!” #ImAGhost dance trend using the Out of Body effect. Dena mentions one of her favorite creators Leenda Dong (@yoleendadong) doing a funny version of the trend. They discuss the #ThisOrThatChallenge and how celebrities like Gordon Ramsay (@gordonramsayofficial) and Bon Jovi (his son’s account is @hamptonwater) have gotten in on the trend with their kids. We explore even more celebrities coming to TikTok like Laura Dern and Rosie O’Donnell, we reminisce on her talk show days, noting how our For You pages are mostly clips from Tyra Banks’ and Wendy Williams’ talk shows. Melissa brings up one of her favorite jokes on TikTok lately, this idea of the “friend chatting with the uber driver while everyone else is drunk.” We showcase videos from @davisburleson2 and @realstephenhart. Special shout out to one of our favorite creators this week: CEO of guessing people’s heights on TikTok Kentai Haven (@kentai.haven).
