two pretty best friends tiktok meme

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok lately, you’ve probably encountered this riddle: “I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends. It’s always one of them gotta be ugly.”

Featured Video

This line was delivered by a man named Jordan Scott, and his video, originally from Oct. 8, now has more than 24 million views. Scott’s brand seems to be delivering relationship advice about “females” from his car, but this video (the audio in particular) quickly got memed.

First: There’s Scott’s face, which is attractive but also has the uncanny valley look of a CGI influencer. His eyes were parodied, and some people looked a little deeper into his comments section for signs of life.

Others parodied his delivery style and relationship advice.

The audio really is inescapable. But some people turned it into art.

And then, as Vox notes, the rickrolling began. Here’s one that lures you in with election projections.

Here’s one that starts out as a laptop stand review.
