GMM 1215.3: 3 Weirdest New Instagram Trends

Hello, mythical friend. You’ve heard about a “FOMO,” but it’s for you to get ready for “FOMO-NITT–” Fear Of Missing Out on New Instagram Teen Trends. Uh, the fear is real, y’all, and it can be debilitating. In an op-ed for “Vanity Fair,” Larry David’s super hip daughter Casey David broke down all the latest exhausting Instagram trends, and today I have picked some of my favorites. – I’ma see if you know what they are, Rhett. – Okay. It’s time for… – All right. – What you know about Instagram trends? You’re not even on Instagram. Well, I’m starting to do research ’cause you know I’m trying to come back, and I’m still looking at all of the suggestions that you guys are making for what can be my comeback photo. So go to that video and continue to comment. I’m gonna keep trying. I’m always searching. I’m always searching on there. – Searching it up. – I’m gonna come back. – Okay, so you– – I’m very confident I will know all of these. Okay, so can you tell me what it means for someone to have the KiraKira affect? – The KiraKira affect. – KiraKira affect. Uh, yeah, this is, uh, this is when you have Kyra Sedgwick and Keira Knightley together in the background of all of your Instagram photos. Which is very hard to pull off because they absolutely hate each other. – Oh, you know that? – Oh, yeah, it’s a cat fight every time you get those two together. That’s good. A lot of action in the background. So, it’s tough. Only a few people have done a KiraKira affect. – It’s so rare. – You seem so confident, Rhett, but you are indeed so wrong. Oh, I’m not– okay. The KiraKira effect is a glittery filter that is added by a super viral app called KiraKira. It’s just the name of an app, dude. Is it Keira Knightley and Kyra Sedgwick? – No. – Combined effort? But, Kendall Jenner and Karlie Kloss did use the glittery filter to emphasize their glittery Halloween costumes this year. But you know what? So did I. I took a little video of me – Aww, look at that. – using the KiraKira app. All right, throw this on my head, and then I’ll just put these on my face, and then I turn the glitter up. Whoa, look at me! Yeah! KiraKira! I don’t think you’re supposed to say “KiraKira.” You ruined it for me. I was so into this until you did that. …then you take the photo. So, like, saying “KiraKira” kinda gets you into it. I’d rather see Karlie and what’s her head do it. The point is you were wrong, okay? – And I did awesome. – It’s just one. What does it mean when all these kids are participating in “zoom culture” on Instagram? – Zoom culture? – Zoom culture! Okay, yeah, I’m familiar with this. This is when you end all your Instagram stories with that little creepy little thing at the end of those Mazda commercials– “zoom, zoom.” ( laughter ) You’re like, “Had a great day at the park. See ya later. Zoom, zoom.” It’s actually a big branded campaign for Mazda. Yeah, that’s what it is. No, it is not. – This is what it is. – Are you sure? This is Zendaya. You know her from the Spider-Man movie – I haven’t seen it. – and just being so hip on Instagram. – I haven’t seen her– – Well, she’s hip on Instagram, okay? You see how close she zoomed in on her face? She’s like showing how pretty she is even up close. Did she just have a donut? Why are her lips so shiny? That’s– I don’t know. – I guess– – “Hey, donut lips.” I think what happened is pretty people got annoyed at how easy it was to look pretty under normal circumstances, so they wanted to prove, “Oh, I can look pretty even when you can see deep in my pores.” Why don’t you try it? Take yourself a selfie. Oh, gosh. That was good. That’s zoom culture, man. A lot of nose in that. You can’t even tell what part of my body that is. – That could be any orifice. – Oh, my goodness. – But it’s just my right nostril. – That is your right nostril. Zoom culture. Zoom, zoom. You’re 0 for 2. Rhett, what is a French belfie? Oh, the French belfie, huh? Yeah, you know what that is, right? Yeah, that’s, uh, that’s a selfie with a French bulldog. No it is not. It is a butt selfie. But you can no longer just post your butt, you have to make it French, as in artsy and sophisticated. Like Emily Ratajkowski, she did a French belfie. She’s pretty good at that. We had to censor that. That photo was directed by Jean Luc Goddard. I’m gonna direct your photo right now. Well, what do you want me to do? – I don’t have, I mean– – Just– leave your jeans on. I don’t have on my thongs today. I want you to go to an exotic location by that globe. – Is this… – Put your butt by the globe and I’ma take your photo. Oh, yeah. All right, give me that French belfie. There we go. I’m just gonna get– yes, yes, there it is. – Zoom, zoom. – I see the Atlantic Ocean. Got it. Nailed it! I turn everything into zoom culture. Man, I don’t– I think what I just did was I just got you some killer Instagram pics. – Yeah! – You’re supposed to be helping me. I’ll post ’em. You’re welcome, if I taught you anything. I learned something, I guess. Click through to watch us get our heads trapped in a fish tank. If you like GMM, you’ll love the GMM logo T-shirt, available at mythical.store.
