Genre: Comedy & Original Sketches

My biggest advice: “Don't be nervous to put out whatever you want. If you think you have a good thing going, just post it. You're never going to know if it's going to take off until you post it. So don't be nervous. Just put it out there. Be yourself.”

Why I started creating content: “I love making comedy content because I love to make people laugh. It’s a crazy feeling to see people react to my videos, and I love bringing a random idea in my head to life online. It’s honestly so fulfilling and I am so lucky for the community I have.”

“RAISED BY A WOMAN”

Trend: Lyrics from the Zach Bryan song “Bass Boat” have people sharing the trauma a mom, girlfriend, or even a sport gave them… and how they’ve changed because of it. While many are serious, comedy works for this trend, too.

Takeaway: Put some text explaining your history over a video or carousel of your old self and then your new self.

“44 THAT’S ME”

Trend: This sound from 12 Pack of Vibes has blown up with videos of a tall person standing still and then a shorter person jumping up and emerging from behind them when “44” is called.

Takeaway: It’s all about timing and great lip-syncing, so throw some text to add a little context to your relationship with the shorter person and have at it.

“PAGING DR. BEAT”

Trend: This sound by kasane teto is giving ultimate video game vibes to the fit check.

Takeaway: Editing is key here; cut between different outfits on the beat (and as your legs move) for the best uncanny effect.
