Tweaking Trends like “How My Dad Responds to Bullies”

What is this trend about

Remember the Coachmama’s viral series about how to respond to school bullies? The series went platinum in everyone’s FYP, and people started to recreate it. But instead of recreating the trend with their children, people are recreating the trend with their dad.

These videos really give a fresh take on the trend, considering the initial “How to Respond to a Bully” is actually made for children. The contrast between how a child responds and how a grown adult responds to the bullying example is what makes this trend very entertaining.

One of the first “spin-off” videos got 879.6K views in 1 week, while the other top-performing videos got 18.3M views in 5 days and 3.2M views in 2 days.

  His comebacks were fumbled after her said your mom is dumb. I think the fear got to him.

The formula for this video is really simple:

• The bully “prompt”
• Unexpected answer
• Repeat

The more intense the answer is, the better. The key is to show the personality in the answer: will the bully scare them, or will the bully be scared of them?
