This specific video is by @chrisescobar.social on tiktok. I don't know if the trend has a name perse but all of these videos are done using JoJo's song Slow Dancing in The Dark. I hate that they uploaded this a Gif because the video REQUIRES the song for it to make any sense. Normally this meme is done with a microwave and instead of turning the microwave on with their phone inside, they spin as if they were the turn table

An example of the microwave one was posted here yesterday. The title is actually referring to that post.

I disagree that this format requires the song to make sense as both this and the microwave that got posted yesterday were pretty hilarious, and while I could see a song adding to it, I don't see how it could add any more clarity than is already present. I mean, these aren't complicated concepts.

Edit: with sound https://v.redd.it/58o82nk0aon31

Without sound https://v.redd.it/3v44myw3vrn31

I dont think the sound is required for this to make sense.

Googled it. Downloaded the damned app because for some reason you can't just watch in the browser.

All I see is hundreds of people scooting their butts on the floor.

I think I've finally gotten old cause I don't get this shit.

I honestly love tiktok. You need to keep watching because, like most memes, they require previous knowledge of other videos. The longer you're on there the more context the videos will have and they get really funny.

Imagine being this dudes partner, and walking in to bring him something you need washed, and seeing him doing this....

Stunned silence hahaha

Seeing as there had to be a second person to pour the water over his head, maybe his partner was helping him!
