What’s Hot This Week: TikTok Trends That Came Here for Laughs

🎶 “Devon Maid” Template

If you haven't come across this meme multiple times on your feed recently, you might want to check your TikTok algorithm. Back in June, TikTok creator Jane McKennan, known as @the_devonmaid, shared a video captioned, “POV: Grandma when you ask her to play hide and seek.” In it, she hilariously acts like she's short-circuiting, unable to decide which way to go. This meme has since become a viral sensation, and it works great for creators and businesses alike if you want to add some light and fun content to your feeds.

‍How to use the sound. Jumping on this trend is super simple! Just think of a scenario that makes you feel like you're being pulled in a million directions at once. Once you have your chaotic moment in mind, pick a background image that matches the vibe and apply this CapCut template. That’s all it takes! Now, sit back and watch the likes and comments start rolling in.

🎶 “I’m getting that itch again” Trend

This trend is all about sharing the itches you really want to scratch, that is those deep-seated cravings you just can't stop thinking about. It can be something like stocking up on new makeup, booking another getaway, or getting that next tattoo. Creators usually go for Radiohead's Creep as the audio backdrop—the song that perfectly captures how some thoughts keep coming back until you give in. You'll need to flex some editing muscles for this one to sync transitions with the music, but the time invested is totally worth it. Get it right, and you're on your way to creating a relatable, trending video that might just land you on the FYP.

‍How to use the sound. Start by filming yourself doing something everyday or just staring right into the camera to capture that moment when your mind starts to drift. Overlay this part with text styled as a dialogue: you saying, “I’m starting to get that itch again,” and a second person asking, “What itch?” For the next part, choose a clip showing what you’re craving. This could be you happily carrying loads of shopping bags from Sephora, looking out of an airplane window, or sitting in a tattoo parlor. Use two bits of this clip briefly when you hear the glitch sound, then quickly switch back to your initial video of daydreaming. And when the chorus hits, switch back to the clip of your craving and let it play out until the song winds down.

🎶 Squeaking Shoe Sound + Olympics Breakdancing Template

This week brings us yet another hilarious and super easy-to-use meme template that's likely our last trending nod to the Paris 2024 Olympics. It features Rachael Gunn, who took the internet by storm, showing off some really unique breakdance moves in head-to-head battles. Paired with the squeaky shoe sound effect, it’s guaranteed to be a pure source of entertainment—for you to edit and your followers to watch. The sound is growing slowly and steadily, with around two thousand clips added daily. If you want to hop on this trend, act fast while the buzz around the performance is still fresh in everyone’s minds.

‍How to use the sound. Think of a fun analogy for what this dance move reminds you of. If a cockroach is the first thing that comes to mind, try digging a little deeper—it’s been done a lot on TikTok already, even though it’s spot-on. Once you’ve got your overlay text, pick a background pic that fits and use this CapCut template. Let your creativity run wild because both socials and breakdancing are all about freedom of self-expression.

🎶 “Wide Angle Finger” Trend

TikTok has a way of bringing old favorites back to life, and this trend is a great example. It features the intro music from the 2002 Mr Bean cartoon with Rowan Atkinson, taking us back to the days of slapstick and silent humor. And the 'Wide Angle' filter adds a fun twist while also giving an opportunity for creators who don't like to show their faces piggyback off the trend. Creators place their hand in the center frame, making their fingers look comically distorted. Then, they start counting down to their pointer finger, which they wag as if saying "no." The overlay text typically sets up a funny scenario where "no" is the obvious answer.

How to use the sound. Position your camera to face upwards and center your hand in the frame. Spread your fingers out and, in time with the music, lower them one by one until just your index finger is left. Give a playful ‘nah-uh’ by wagging your index finger from side to side. Make sure to add your question as a text overlay on the video. Don’t forget to turn on the Wide Angle TikTok filter for that extra fun effect. And if your nails look sharp, that’s just the cherry on top!

🎶 Came Here for Love – Sigala & Ella Eyre

If you happen to be a suitcase brand that loves leveraging TikTok trends for visibility, this is truly a match made in heaven. Kordell from Love Island Season 6 sparked this trend with his intro video, where he spins his suitcase around. What started as a random move quickly got TikTokers’ creative cogs moving, and now we’re seeing tons of people having fun with their suitcases—such a joy to watch. Just to put it into perspective, this audio is currently sitting at number two among the top trending TikTok songs. While it’s a natural fit for travel content, this trend has also been spotted in back-to-school videos, with creators spinning their way back into academic life.

‍How to use the sound. You only need to film one video for this trend. Start by getting out of the car and grabbing your luggage or entering a room with your suitcase. Just standing still works, too. When the music drops, start jumping and spinning your suitcase. Add your twist in the overlay text, and you’re set! Make sure your suitcase handle is sturdy—no one wants it flying off! And maybe skip doing this in crowded places like airports; it’s probably not the best idea.

🎁 Bonus: “I love my [national identity] side” Trend

A little bonus for those not in the mood to film this week: this carousel trend lets you celebrate a national identity you love, even if it’s not your own. Maybe it’s the cuisine, your partner’s background, or a country you’ve lived in for years—anything that connects you to it works!

How to use the sound. You’ll need at least three photos, but feel free to add more since the song usually used with this trend is pretty long. Start with a picture of yourself and add the overlay text: “I love my [Chinese/Indian/Italian/etc.] side.” The second slide could say, “Wait, but you’re not [Chinese/Indian/Italian/etc.],” or “But you’re [your national identity].” For the final slide or slides, show off this side of yourself with some photos. Check out the example below from @ez_the_destroyer to get a better idea of how it works.
