FB Mom Photos

The FB Mom Photos trend turns that one person you can't stop secretly photographing into a love letterset to a piano-backed "awww so cute" voice clip. Creators post carousels of their boyfriendbest friendsiblingor dog captioned "me when I take FB mom photos of my ___" — slightly off-center shotsmid-sentence capturesthe works. It names a behavior everyone does but no one admits. Brands can flip this for product affection — a carousel of candid hero product shots with the same proud-parent energy.

The One-Arm Squat Prank

The One-Arm Squat Prank is the latest "make your friend do something embarrassing on camera" trend. The setup: tell someone it's physically impossible to squat with one arm raised straight up. The second they try to prove you wrongthey drop into a deep squat that looks exactly like getting low at a club — cue the dance music and the laughing off-camera. The mark's earnestness is what sells the joke. Brands with playful internal culture or a fitness angle can easily run this with a team member.

Timer Challenge: That's All The Time It Took

The Timer Challenge trend is TikTok's latest love-language PSA disguised as a stopwatch flex. Creators open the clock apphit startdeliver one short sweet line — "hey babeI'm slammed today but I can't wait to see you tonight" — then hit stop at three seconds. The on-screen text lands the point: "that's all the time it took to make her feel loved." Brands can flip this into comedy by making the gesture a deliverya giftor a quick brand plug.

These are just 3 of the many trends we're tracking this month. Get the full breakdown with sound linksbrand examplesand creative strategies.
