TikTok is Obsessed With the Couch Guy Video
Social media app TikTok is big enough now that it's clear it won't be a passing fad like Vine. Unlike Vine, TikTok has managed to become another pillar of social media technology, standing alongside the likes of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. TikTok stars have become celebrities in their own right, and videos on the platform have been watched by millions of people. The latest TikTok video to go viral was posted by user laurenzarras, and users on the app are completely obsessed with it.
The so-called Couch Guy TikTok video is everywhere one looks on the app. To sum it up, it basically shows laurenzarras surprising her boyfriend Robbie at college. Robbie doesn't seem to react with the same excitement that other people have in similar videos, and that combined with the fact that he was sitting on a couch with three other girls has stirred up the TikTok community, prompting people to slow down the video, pick it apart, and analyze it.
Countless TikTok content creators have analyzed the video, offering their opinions on the situation. Many have accused Robbie of no longer being interested in the relationship, saying that laurenzarras is "in denial." Laurenzarras has responded to these kinds of comments and videos, saying "Breaks my heart that people can watch a special moment and bring so much negativity. Please think before you assume anything about my relationship." This comment was posted a week ago, yet the Couch Guy videos on TikTok seem to be ramping up and growing in popularity.

Many of the other TikTok videos about the Couch Guy situation seem to be analyzing it and offering opinions, whereas others have parodied the video. There are numerous parodies now of people "surprising" their significant others in college with less than ideal results as a way to reference the Couch Guy video, turning the situation into the latest TikTok trend.
The Couch Guy video is the latest TikTok trend, preceded by Berries and Cream and countless other trends that have dominated the social media app over the years. Some of the trends have revolved around video games, like one involving PaRappa the Rapper and another where TikTok users all changed their profile pictures to classic LEGO Star Wars characters.
While all of the attention is on the Couch Guy TikTok video right now, a new video will come along eventually and create a new top trend. In the meantime, TiKTok content creators will continue to hyper analyze the Couch Guy video.
