In 2024, a truck crashed into Canaw in Moresque, where I work.

Immediately, people stepped up.

And just six hours later, every dog was fostered.

Well folks, as we know, Tiktok is the dumbest place on earth and there are many Tiktok

trends that are unbelievably stupid.

My producers have compiled some of these and I am now being forced.

At points of gun, perhaps, rank Tiktok trends.

So good luck to all of us.

So this is the owl trend.

So we're going to roll a clip.

See what happens.

This is my impression of an owl who's also a yellow scoffer and this is my impression

of a Jamaican owl.

Who?

Bumble who?

This is my impression of an Indian owl.

Who?

An impression of an owl, but the owl is from Brooklyn.

Who?

What do you think?

What do I think?

I mean...

It's kind of funny.

Am I allowed to be amusing?

Yeah, I mean, I enjoyed the classical music in the background.

Points for that.

Points for that.

But kind of amusing.

I mean, okay, I get basically sum up a culture in a single facial expression.

Wait, let's all try.

Okay, here's the Miami one, ready?

Bro, who?

Better leg.

Who are you?

Better leg.

Who?

I don't know.

Who?

Who?

Who?

Again, it's just that...

Can you sum up a culture to syllable?

Get faster!

Get faster!

It has nothing to do with the owls.

It's basically just can you sum up a culture in a grunt?

Okay.

All right.

And not terrible.

That was not terrible.

All right.

We'll rank them at the end.

All right.

Next one.

The tortilla slap.

What in the world?

Yeah.

So you put water in your mouth and you have to slap each other with a tortilla.

We can say that.

So you got to probably read the nature of marriage.

She farted.

I have a question.

It's a serious question.

So this whole thing is predicated on it's okay to hit people now.

So when a dude smacks the shit out of a lady with a tortilla, it's okay.

Is that how this works now?

Well, I can change that in a hurry.

Well, you get to do it back.

So it's like-

Yeah, but if you did it with your hand, it wouldn't matter.

What it?

It's a flowery buttery tortilla.

It's a flowery buttery buttery tortilla.

I know.

But I just like, I'm confused that we'll have to try this at the office.

Yeah.

HR will definitely be in favor of that.

That'll work out really well.

I mean, okay.

It's funny and amusing.

I would watch other people do it when I do this with my wife.

My wife would be like, no on this.

There's gonna be a big no.

Girls just made this up so they can slap men.

Honestly, I think that's really what this is.

I really think that's what this is.

I think people want to smack each other.

And so they're like, what if we did it, but in a way that feels funny and non-threatening?

We should do this with political opponents.

Just bring out the tortillas.

We did it.

We did it, Joe.

Okay, we'd watch.

10 out of 10 would watch.

Next is-

Alright, this is like the-

You might have to play along.

Get in now.

One, two, three, four, four, four.

One, two, three, four, four, four.

One, two, three, four, four, four.

One, two, three, four, four, four.

No.

I mean, again, we are a society with far too much time on our hands.

That is what I take away from this.

Now, also, Savi is really good at this sort of thing as we noticed from that episode of

Ben Aferdar, of course, she banged the drum at the proper time.

time. I spend too much time on TikTok. Yeah, I think that's probably true. I need to be a

better mother. Yeah, exactly. We don't give Sarah enough time to spend on TikTok. Hey, hey,

you're fired. Get out of here. I did, I did take Sarah last night. I did in fact,

text her. And as a reward, you shall read 2000 pages about Hitler. Go. That is the thing that happened.

You thought you left Harvard? Yeah, no, no. Psych. You learn more here. Also about balloons and spoons

and moons and raccoons. Okay, so wow. They would be up for at least the tortilla thing they would

also be up for. Okay, so we like, we like this so far. I'm not hating this as much as I thought I was

Okay, here's another trend. This is husband's just quizzing their wives on athletes.

So I'm going to be showing Devon some male famous athletes to see if she can name them.

All right, so we're going to start with one that you should know. Is that LeBron James?

Yep, that's jealous. Okay, that one's easy. Good job, Devon.

All right, who is that? Jim Carey? Is he an athlete?

No, but he kind of favors Jim Carey. I've no idea that is Tom Brady.

Alex Earl's boyfriend. I'll let you know. All right, you better know this one.

I didn't know who this was. I see that's a NASCAR jacket.

Good job.

I have no idea.

Tommy Abray.

Who is that?

Soy Jesus.

Dale Earnhardt.

Do it for Dale.

We didn't know that.

And by the way, women could absolutely do this to men, but it would be with female influencers.

Like anything gossip related. You can bring it to a man. I've no idea what you're talking about.

None. That's fair.

So I think that there's an equal opportunity thing that happens here. I will say that on my very

first date with my wife, it was 2008.

Damn.

I'm sorry.

It was the primaries where McCain ended up winning.

And at that point, I was a supporter of Romney and the primaries.

And my wife later admitted she had no idea who Mitt Romney was and she was kind of embarrassed

by that. I said, that's not anything to be like super embarrassed about.

You know, that is the way that this works.

All right, next. So this is bringing random objects to school or work.

Yeah, yeah, they have water in their mouth.

Yeah, so the water in the mouth thing is just to see who can laugh.

It's like a laughing contest.

Yep. Got it.

I like the tortilla thing.

That's why they don't let us do it on set. There's too many cameras.

I'm a no. I'm a no. I'm a no.

I don't know why the squash is the funniest one.

Yeah, I don't know. I think that that's just that that guy got to go last.

So that's all that happened.

If he'd been the first person to go and he brought out a squash, that wouldn't

have been that funny.

But also that clearly the funniest thing is that is the mixing bowl.

Clearly, wow.

So we're team ginger.

Did yours have souls?

I got a church. I'm a Christian.

Yeah, I mean, on this one, yes, because basically this is just the Mary Poppins

challenge, right?

Oh, it's true. That's a good name for it.

This is the Mary Poppins challenge.

What is the biggest thing that you can take out of your bag is what makes it funny?

Because if you just reached into your bag and you took out like a cup, it's not funny,

right? Anything that you would normally think of that would fit into your backpack.

So if you have some sort of, you know, expandable object and you were just taking out a lamp

and it just kept going, right?

And that would be pretty good.

All right, I know we were all thinking, what would Ben bring if we did this?

And we were like, definitely his sword.

All right, that's right.

Or one of my children's swords.

I did buy them like actual Lord of the Rings swords.

Well, let's just roll this one.

Today, we're going to be using this giant jack of all that's dropped at home.

So this is from producer Juan.

I hate this.

Men are just grabbing.

Yeah, biggest bait they can find to try to catch big things.

We're going to pause it.

Absolutely not.

Yeah, I hate that.

This is important to crap.

Yeah, I truly hate this.

And also I'm confused by the use of Katy Perry's lesbian music.

I don't even think of that.

Yeah, that's it.

There's some very, very strange choices being made.

This is also a good life insurance ad.

Okay, exactly how is he genius?

Fuck, I don't know if they're unsure for this,

because you might be more on.

For seven.

This is the last one and you know, well, I know it, yeah.

This is a little shameless, but after dark.

Oh, man, it's embarrassing to watch this though.

No, no, no, no.

I'm still going to try this.

Look at the focus.

Yeah, I was counting for you.

Yeah, not.

No, I'm not going to get it.

I don't care.

One, two, three.

This is a surprise.

I like this.

Four.

You got it!

Okay.

Wait, he got it?

Eventually, eventually.

It took 93 takes.

I'm going to get a count of bars.

All right, all right.

Yeah, sadly got it like right away.

Oh, I was really excited by that.

You are.

See that face?

That was the exciting sad face.

Wow.

Wow, it's in my jeans.

Here comes.

It's so good.

We are diverse.

We are.

It's true.

Yeah, it turns out that, you know,

diversity level was predictive.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

And DEI for the win.

DEI for the win.

Well, that's the last one.

Okay, can we rank these Ben?

Sure.

Okay.

You want me to list them out for you?

Yeah, and we'll ring them in terms of like,

which ones I like the best or would do or what?

Would recommend, would stay at the Airbnb.

Okay, so the ones that,

so like there's what I would watch and what I would do with these are

kind of two different categories.

Okay, so I'm too precise in my rankings,

systems.

So what I would, what I would watch the tortilla,

the tortilla slap is obviously the funniest, right?

It is the most watchable followed by probably the object challenge

followed by who?

Followed by the, um, the rhyming.

Followed by this, followed by the shark.

I mean, and it's okay.

So that's like what, what I, what is watchable?

As far as what I would do, uh, the object thing, probably number one,

because it's actually inherently funny.

Um, number two would probably be the, um, the who?

Uh, number three would be the rhythm thing.

Number four would be the tortilla thing.

And number five would be, uh,

number five would be the Whitney thing.

I just, it's annoying to me.

Uh, and number six is still the shark.

I hate the shark.

It's, it's terrible.

So in summary, the tortilla is our favorite.

The tortilla is definitely the most amusing.

Like, if you're, if you're going to watch like a series of 10 videos,

the tortilla thing is really amusing.

And the object thing is also very amusing.

Those, those are the two.

Right.

You heard it here first, Ben, after dark riders.

Hey, so the kids have too much time on their hands,

but they're doing some amusing things over on the TikTok.

So that was less painful than I thought it would be,

except for that due to got eaten by a shark.
