TikTokers have joined the bandwagon of fun with the latest Frog In My Hand or Flea In My Hand prank. This simple and harmless trend is going viral quite fast. Users are tricking their partners into focusing on an imaginary frog or a flea in their hand.
After the prank went viral, more and more people are flocking to the Frog In My Hand trend. Since it doesn’t require one to do much or use any props, almost everyone on TikTok is trying it out.
TikTok is not the only platform – the prank is going viral on YouTube Shorts as well. People taking part in the trend even took to Twitter to share their partners’ reactions.
Some are even changing some details here and there to make it a bit different but fun, nonetheless. The aimed joke in the trend is quite childish and silly, but the varied final expressions everyone is letting out after realizing the joke are quite amusing.
The Frog In My Hand trend uses hand gestures
For the trend, one person tells their partner that they have a small frog in their hand and that it would do three backflips. Although their partners make a face at the silliness, they play along. Some of the pranksters even move their eyes up and down to make it look convincing.
After this, they pretend to take off the frog's coat/jacket as it is sweating from all the jumping. They ask their partner to hold the jacket and make a gesture of holding something that they pass on to their partner. Next, they make their imaginary tiny frog jump three more times.
After this, they ask their partners if they really believed that there was a frog in their hand, and when the latter says no, they ask something like:
“Then why are you holding its jacket?”The prank is thus successful.
The humor lies in the fact that their partners unconsciously hold on to the jacket, even when they know the frog is not real. In some of the videos, when the partner is asked why they did so, some innocently say:
“Because you told me to.”However, the joke is spoilt if they say "yes" to believing that there is a tiny frog.
While some people say that they have a frog in their hand, others say that they either have a flea or a cricket. Others are even going ahead and using a voice modifier to distort their voice into a funny one which only adds to the laughter.
Several people are indulging in the trend, including influencers and famous personalities. In fact, TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and Instagram star Sheena Melwani jumped on the trend.
While some are pulling the Frog In My Hand prank on their partners, others are pranking their friends or family members.
