What is this trend

Usually, a funny moment with your kid, pet, or partner can work as a one-off post. These creators take a different approach by keeping bringing the same person or pet back, but give each appearance a certain format of its own.

Justin Detrés built his content around his pit bull, Thor. Rather than featuring Thor as just another pet in a funny video, Justin puts him in different situations and uses Spanish to build the humor around their dynamic.

Kevin Cooney has built much of his content around being a girl dad, alongside GRWM and POV videos. He also regularly reviews snacks in the car with his daughter in a series called “Breezy F Baby, and the F is for_”, with the blank changing based on the food they’re trying. It gives his dad-daughter dynamic a recognizable format within the wider mix of content on his page.
