TICK TOCK MEME THAT WAS A SNEEZE DOWNLOAD
So, you know, spent a billion - they spent a billion dollars in marketing alone last year, you know, getting people to download the app, promoting it to American users. ByteDance just - as you mentioned, one of the most valuable startups in the world - is pouring tons of money into this. I mean, again TikTok's popularity is only rising. MARTIN: How much of that has to do with the company that started this, the tech startup ByteDance, which is the most valuable tech startup in the world? I mean, is that going to give TikTok more staying power, do you think, in the long term? I mean, you'll see this even evident in terms of, like, the videos that go viral. And, you know, I feel like it kind of just continues to grow. But in the past six months, it's really exploded. And it kind of - I would say it, like, was under the radar. And then ByteDance, which owns TikTok, launched in the U.S.
It had already been launched internationally and was kind of huge in Southeast Asia, India, all over the world. If anything, it seems to continue to be growing. LORENZ: How is the popularity fading? I don't think - I would kind of push back on that. MARTIN: What does that mean that in the course of a year, TikTok got so popular, and now popularity is already now fading? MARTIN: I mean, one year in regular life is like seven years in Internet life or something like that. I mean, people spending their dollars there are getting more impact than spending them even on Instagram and Facebook. It's still emerging in the advertising space. Chipotle actually did a massive campaign with YouTuber David Dobrik. MARTIN: And it's attracted corporate America, right? I mean, major brands have started using TikTok. I think the ability to add kind of any sound inspires creativity and sort of - it's just fun. And you can't make them as entertaining to watch, I guess. But you can't really share them as easily. I mean, yeah, you can make short videos on other platforms. What makes this one special, and what's been the impact of it? MARTIN: So we can make short videos on other platforms. The Atlantics Taylor Lorenz discusses the cultural impact and future of the platform for posting short videos. It had a lot of fun video-editing techniques. TikTok, the social app spawning viral memes and summer hits, launched one year ago. That could be music or a voiceover or anything. It allows you to record videos as long as 15 seconds to a minute but to - down. LORENZ: TikTok is a short-form video app. MARTIN: So before we talk about what is hot being less so, explain how TikTok works.
Taylor Lorenz covers technology for The Atlantic. And now, as if on cue, its popularity is in decline. And if it seems like tick tock showed up on our phones 15 seconds ago, you might be shocked to learn that the app is now an entire year old. (Who doesn't love the interrupting cow?) And bonus points go to jokes that actually use people's names, since that's what you're most likely going to hear as an answer to a question "Who's there?" Whether you think they're brilliant or cringey, whether you've heard these a million times already or they're new to you, keep these classic and fresh jokes in your back pocket for an instant kid pick-me-up.Have you heard of TikTok? This is the social media app that lets users create super-short videos and then loop them. ("Isabel not working?") But once kids catch wise to that, it's also great to hit them from left field with something completely bizarre and unreal. If you have a kid in that knock knock joke sweet spot - say 4- to 11-years-old, when they can anticipate the formula without guessing the punchline - then memorize these hilarious knock knock jokes for kids, and keep them at the ready in case there are ever a dull moment.īut what makes a good knock knock joke funny, anyway? The most effective ones actually play around with the idea of opening a door. That's because the formula is so rigid and predictable, and yet they're still endlessly repeatable. But funny knock knock jokes? They're almost an art form in and of themselves. When it comes to the best jokes for kids, puns can be funny.
