TikTok’s “watch my boyfriend for me” trend has viewers laughing at how well-behaved girl’s boyfriends are while they walk away. The trend is fairly new to the platform but already has over 150M posts.
TikTok trends that include users’ significant others can be some of the most fun. Whether it’s a new dance, an eating challenge like “Rock, Paper, Scissors,” or a trend that takes your significant other by surprise, there are plenty of TikTok fads to enjoy doing with someone special.
In one of TikTok’s latest trends, women are asking their viewers to “watch my boyfriend for me” while they walk away for a brief moment.
During the “watch my boyfriend for me” trend, the girlfriend places her phone in front of their boyfriend while it’s recording. They then say “watch my boyfriend or me” as they walk away.
Often, the boyfriend plays into the trend by telling a story, talking about their girlfriend, or complaining with complete confusion.
For example, on April 27, TikTok couple Caleb & Andrea partook in the new trend and received 15.8M views and counting. When Andrea left her phone in front of her snacking mate, he looked around like a lost “toddler,” unaware of what was happening.
Viewers found the video comical, as Caleb refused to make eye contact with the phone. One person even said they could “feel his anxiety” through the video.
Just a couple of days before Caleb & Andrea’s video, TikToker Anna Muller posted her take on the trend, receiving 2.7M views and counting. During her video, she placed the phone in front of her significant other and told him she had to “walk our fish.”
Her lover rolled his eyes and said “we don’t even have fish” while he continued to peel his mango. He then began randomly saying facts about flamingos, “A group of flamingos is flamboyance,” he proudly said.
Viewers of Anna’s “watch my boyfriend for me” trend found her mate entertaining. “Came for the babysitting, stayed for the flamingo flamboyance,” said one viewer. “Your fish needed a longer walk, I was really getting into the flamingo facts,” added another.
