A Very Weird TikTok Trend Combines John Mayer With, Um, The Forces Of Gravity

What is a TikTok trend if not a beautiful marriage of chaos and humour and opportunity?

I just love these weird video kids and their wacky humour! Honestly! I’m obsessed.

This latest weird thing? Well — have you ever heard of the singer, John Mayer? Of course you have. He has a song called ‘Gravity’. In this song, there’s the lyrics “gravity… is working”.

Some overly literal TikTokers have decided to riff on that idea, with the so-called ‘Gravity Challenge’ (although the original hashtag might have started out as something else, before John Mayer ruthlessly took over).

Anyway, I guess watch one?

Yep! People are getting real wet. That’s the joke. That’s the gag.

You know, there’s elements of the ice bucket challenge. Oh god — that’s from 2014, and most of these teens were probably just a twinkle in the eye of their dad’s dick back then, oh god, they probably don’t remember that. Do they even remember KONY? Did we ever get him?

I’m spiralling. Let’s watch more?

It’s also really funny to watch the behind-the-scenes… it kinda makes it both funnier and much sadder? Like… people put a lot of time into this. I respect it, because I think we should spend our life doing the dumbest shit possible, but also… lol.

But then sometimes… it’s not working???? I keep watching this, and I have no idea how it works. Do you reckon someone is hovering over the top of them, sucking up their spit?
