Why Celebrities are Embracing the 'Stupid Line' TikTok Trend?
Social media, especially TikTok, has a way of spawning trends that nobody sees coming. Yet, one thing is always clear: when celebrities get involved, everyone tunes in. The “Come on Superman, say your stupid line” trend is a perfect example. But why is everyone, from Hailey Bieber to Zachary Gordon, so obsessed with showcasing their ‘stupid lines’?
The Rise of a ‘Stupid’ Trend
It all started with Tame Impala’s 2015 track “The Less I Know the Better.” While the song’s dreamy beats initially captured ears, an overlooked line has now become fuel for virtual self-deprecation. Since mid-November, TikTok users have indulged in the meme, suggesting a universal connection between pop culture and self-reflection. As stated in The Daily Dot, its viral success is undeniable.
A Personal Touch: Creating ‘Stupid Lines’
The genius of the trend lies in its subjectivity. The line can reflect a promise you’re prone to breaking, a repetitive phrase, or something hilariously personal. Like @nskzidqtb00, whose light-hearted admission of constantly “never drinking again” moved the proverbial needle to the tune of 3.7 million views.
Icons in on the Joke: Celebs’ Versions of ‘Stupid Lines’
Celebrities are no immune. Just last week, Hailey Bieber captivated over 27 million by admitting, “Can I see the dessert menu?“—speaking to her undeniable sweet tooth. Actor Zachary Gordon got personal with a now-viral shots of relationship woes, cryptically stating, “Don’t call me. Don’t come by my house. We’re done.” Sabrina Carpenter continued the deluge of glamorous self-mockery with her quip, “have you ever tried this one?”
The Universal Appeal
Ultimately, the trend proves we’re all in on the cosmic joke of life. Whether famous or not, the ability to laugh at oneself is a universally adored trait. Kevin Chamberlin echoed this sentiment perfectly, racking up 43.4 million views with the simple but relatable “but it’s so far.”
Celebrities and TikTok: A Symbiotic Relationship
As celebrities playfully mimic the trend, they not only entertain us but humanize their public personas. By taking their ‘lines’ not so seriously, they remind fans that everyone shares a mutual, often absurd, daily narrative. Meanwhile, fans eagerly await the next ‘stupid line’ that’ll tickle their humor just right.
Advertising, cultural daily-downs, quirky or chaotic internet dialogues—everything is interconnected in this vast meme universe, resulting in trends like these. Though the internet remains chaotic, trends are built on empathy and shared human experience. This new meme is no different, providing a glimpse into the lighter, humorous side of humanity.
