New TikTok Trend: Falsely Claiming That Celebrities Died To See People's Reactions
We've been doing this on Ace of Spades for like 18 years.
But do we get credit? No.
TikTok is "killing" celebrities -- and the results are chaos.
The platform's latest twisted trend depicts people reacting to fake celebrity death announcements, "Candid Camera" style. In each of these morbid videos, the person filming the prank breaks the fake "news" to friends and family members. They pretend they're reading the information online, and then film the ensuing reactions of outrage, shock and sadness.
In one video, the voice behind the camera proclaims, "Oh my God. Cher dead at 81," while a group of people at a party wail, "Nooo!"
In another video, a young prankster tells her mom: "Jon Bon Jovi dead at 60, heart attack." Her mom reacts by shouting, "What?! Get out of here!" Another poster who was trying to fool her friends about Bon Jovi was met with the stunned reaction: "Shut the f--k up!"
