A new TikTok trend is gaining millions of views on the social media platform. In it, users are sharing their darkest secrets to explain why they are “funny.”
The videos typically follow a pattern where the person adds a caption saying “you are so funny” and then thanks the viewers before telling a quirky fact about their life that could justify their peculiar sense of humor.
The trend is made even more amusing because it features the song She Looks So Perfect by the Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer, a very upbeat track for someone telling a traumatic event in their life.
One person, for example, posted that they had a math tutor when they were 8 years old. However, they only solved one problem and then spent the rest of the “lesson” talking. Later, they discovered that the tutor was actually a therapist in disguise.
Another person shared that their sister and father had a child together, while a third person revealed they spent 6 years begging their parents to adopt a puppy, and when they finally got one, it died the next day.
Even celebrities like Michael Clifford, guitarist from 5 Seconds of Summer, joined the trend. In the video, he jokes about how the band’s song became the soundtrack for “trauma calls.”
