(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) (wheel spinning) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. Today, we present to each other and to you collectively five of our favorite TikTok creators right now. – But first, it’s Gifticality time. We’re donating $1,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to aid in their mission to fight for racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education. Join us in giving at NAACPLDF.org/Donate. – Thank you for being your mythical best and for hanging out with us in the More. TikTok- – TikTok. – It’s been around a while. There was an evolution of understanding of what TikTok was. – There always is. – So I was on evolution of what TikTok is becoming at what I’ll call at first. I don’t even know if it was at first. But once people started talking about it, it’s like, a bunch of people dancing. Okay. – When you have teenagers in your home, which we do because we have children- – Of the teen age. – You quickly learn that… I learned that they were all of a sudden all on this app, which I initially thought it was like… This is how out of touch I was. I just thought it was like Musical.ly, right? “Cause I was like, “That’s like the lip sync thing, right?” – Well, there’s so much dancing. – It’s kind of like the lip sync thing, but you’re dancing. I was like, “Okay.” – But then, when quarantine hit, you know, everybody started showing up on this thing. J Lo’s on this thing. – Oh, I haven’t seen that. – You’ve got some celebrities. – I haven’t seen J Lo’s channel. – You got celebrities getting in on the action. But the thing that got us the most excited was when you started to see distinct comedic voices rise to the top of our For You pages as we started to dive into it. – In a way that’s reminiscent of the early days of YouTube. There hasn’t been another platform that’s really… I mean, I guess Vine kind of did this, but that was six secs. It was six secs on Vine. That’s why I quit watching. No, it was six seconds at a time, and Southern boys can’t do anything in six seconds. So that was something that we would have never been good at. And TikTok gives you a little bit more, a little bit more flexibility. – So let’s talk about- – There’s people who were into- – Doing some funny things. – Actually, one of the first people that I followed was this guy Caleb W. Francis, who’s just a dude in West Virginia. – West Virginia? – Who’s got a weird sense of humor. Just watch one of his, one of my favorites from him. – (beep) That smells (beep) good. Hey, Jeremy, come here. – What’s up? – If I drink the juice out of all these, then puke it up, would you eat it? – I don’t know, maybe. Like eat it off the ground? – No, remember all the hexagons we’ve been building? – Of course. We’ve been building hexagons for like two weeks straight, man. There’s like a million hexagons at the house. – I’ll just puke in those, fill ’em to the top with puke. – I thought the hexagons were for baby storage. – I mean, there’s plenty of hexagons for babies and flower juice puke. What if we made the babies eat the puke? – Yes, dude, let’s make babies eat our puke. – Well, get to sucking. We’re gonna need plenty of puke. (both laughing) – So Jeremy, first bees to make honey, that’s what that was. – Jeremy is a perfect bee name. – Yeah. – I mean, he’s filming himself. – He’s just out there with a phone. – He’s looking in different directions. – Just filming himself being all the characters. He does another thing. One of the things that’s happened on TikTok is, people will kind of come back to the same series. And he’s got this one where he plays two brothers and their dad, and this is one of them. This is one of the appropriate ones, somewhat appropriate. I couldn’t show you my favorite. It’d just be too much to bleep and blur. No, not blur, just bleep. – Oh, blur? – Let’s watch this one. – Okay. – Hey, is it me, or does it smell like updog in here? – Oh, yeah, dad found a dead one in the basement this morning. It was real big and stinky. – Huh? – It’s probably twice the size of the last one that got in there. – The last one. There’s two? What makes you so sure it’s an updog? – ‘Cause of the horns. – Horns? – You wanna go spit on it? – No. – Why not? It’s the only way to banish their soul from this realm. – What? – Boys, I need you in the basement right now. The updog wasn’t dead. I need all the spit we can muster. – (puckers) Coming, dad. – What the (beep) is going on? (both laughing) – Is updog… Does that float around your house? Because there was a little bit of time there. And you know, when you’ve got the younger kid, it finally gets to them, and then nobody falls for it. So with Lando, nobody’s falling for the updog. – Just in case you aren’t following closely, that’s usually a joke where you say, “Does it smell like updog in here,” and the other person says, “What’s updog?” And then you’re like, “Gotcha.” – Don’t dad-splain. – Well, I’m doing it for the- – Is that another… Should that be a TikTok? – I’m doing it for the 17% who weren’t following along. – You think they deserve to get it? – Yeah, I want you to be able to enjoy it. Now, rewind and watch it again. – I like Caleb. I wanna hang out with Caleb F. Francis. Or is it just- – It’s Caleb F. Francis. – Caleb W. Francis. – It’s Caleb W. Francis, right. I like when somebody makes their username their actual name that would be on their driver’s license. – You know what? I would be fine hanging out with Caleb’s brother or his dad or those bees he knows. All right, what I wanna show you is Vanessa Simeon, vflow_xo. Apparently she works at a gas station behind the cash register. Have you seen her? – I haven’t seen her, but there’s another guy who does the same thing. This must be a genre. – Listen, I don’t care about who else does it. – I’m just saying that it must be a thing on TikTok, to work at a place and make TikToks there. – I haven’t seen anybody but Vanessa, and no one’s better than her. Check this one out. – [Vanessa] You want your receipt? – What do you think, I’m gonna bring this back? – [Vanessa] I’m just doing my job, sir. – Well, have some damn common sense. I’m gonna eat it. – Have some common sense, I’m gonna eat it. The thing that I love about these- – I have theories about all these videos, just so you know. – My theory is that people come in, and then she has an idea, and she asks them to be in the TikTok, and they’re just in the TikTok. – Yeah, that guy was acting. – Yeah, they’re acting. – No, but it’s still good. – But they’re actual customers who she just said, “Hey, will be in my TikTok? “I just want you to say, “when I say this, you say this.” And it’s just all these people parading up to the counter saying all types of stuff. I think she’s in Alabama. Do we have another one? Oh, yeah, this is a good one. – Hey. – [Vanessa] Hey. – Got a new car. It’s a Mercadis. – [Vanessa] It’s a what? – A Mercadis. – [Vanessa] Can I see it? – Yeah. – [Vanessa] That’s nice, what is it? – A Mercadis. – [Vanessa] That’s nice. – That’s nice. (laughs) – But I mean, I feel like she usually doesn’t go out and see the Mercadis. It just all happens at the counter. And her catchphrase is, “Hey.” Usually, that’s the first thing she says, “Hey.” – Yeah, that’s how I start most of my TikToks. – Once I watch one, I gotta watch all of ’em, and I’ll watch ’em again and again and again because the humanity. – The other guy I’m not sharing who does the same thing who I actually think he might be better because he actually does things with real people. A woman came in with a mask, and she had cut a slit in the mask so she could breathe, and he started making fun of it. And then she’s come back repeatedly and got madder and madder, and she’s not acting. And now the sheriff came and served him ’cause she’s suing him. And he’s putting the whole story on TikTok. – What? – Yeah, it’s great. – Well, who is that? – I don’t know. – Love you, Vanessa. – I do wanna tell you about LonnieIIV. I don’t know how exactly how I’m supposed to say that, Lonnie I-I-V. – Lonnie Eve. – But he’s got a sub-series, the thing he’s most well known for, where’s it God in the process of inventing a certain animal. And he’s doing it with his angel buddies, like Gabriel. And it’s always in the kitchen. So let’s watch one of those. – Now listen to me, Gabriel. These ones be really fun because some go on pizzas. – Yeah, okay, okay. – You like that. And then some will make you see things. – Okay. – And some, Gabriel, some just kill you. – You doing okay, pal? (both laughing) – That’s hilarious. – That’s God creating mushrooms. – That voice is amazing. – And now- – Show me another one. – Let’s see God create the oceans. – Gabriel, put water everywhere. – Oh, no, no, no, I get it. That’s smart, that’s smart. That way, they can have it whenever they get thirsty, whenever they need it. See, that’s why you’re in charge. That’s why you’re in charge. – Make it undrinkable. (both laughing) – So every night- – He’s good, man. – He’s making his own, in the kitchen, he’s like, “I gotta make another TikTok.” – And Gabriel’s always got a towel over his shoulder, like he’s stirring something up. – All right, “What You Got For Me” is the next one I’mma show you. It’s not what you got for me. Sara Cooper, she takes audio of Trump talking, and I don’t think she edits it. I think she just takes a portion, and then… It’s art, man. – I’ve seen this girl, yes. – The timing and the facial expressions… Okay, just watch this one. – [Interviewer] I’m wondering what one or two of your most favorite Bible verses are. – [Trump] Well, I wouldn’t wanna get into it because, to me, that’s very personal. You know, when I talk about the Bible, it’s very personal. So I don’t wanna get into verses. I don’t wanna get into- – [Interviewer] There’s no verse that means a lot to you that you think about or cite? – [Trump] The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t wanna get into specifics. – [Interviewer] Even to cite a verse that you like? – [Trump] No, I don’t wanna do that. – [Interviewer] Are you an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy? – [Trump] Probably… I think it’s just an incredible, the whole Bible is an incredible. I joke very much so. They always talk about “The Art of the Deal”. I say my second favorite book of all time. But I just think the Bible is just something very special. – All right, I wanna show you one more. – Her commentary about testing negative. – [Trump] I tested very positively in another sense. So this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? No, I tested perfectly this morning, meaning I tested negative. – Okay, and finally, this is for the dog lovers. This is just a channel where this owner, let’s just call him a human, has two corgis that they have cast in all kinds of incredible TikToks like this one. – [Narrator] It’s a what? It’s a dragon, help. It snarls. Oh, come on. Dad. It’s a vacuum. No. It cleans the house. False. Hammy, dragons breathe fire. It scares me. So you guys are gonna clean? Dad, no. (both laughing) – I love this channel, man. – I mean, it’s so smart. – I just love it. – Hey, I’m gonna make my dogs bark, and I’m gonna voice it over. – And they just do… I mean, okay. There’s so many more where this came from. Let’s watch the next one. – [Narrator] Yep. No. It’s on there. That’s a lie. It’s true. Stop, dad. Olivia. Dad’s right. Go check. Okay. He doesn’t actually have yogurt on his nose, Olivia. He’s so slow. Okay, okay, shh. Oh, I hate you. (both laughing) – Oh, that’s good. – We gotta get some corgis, man. That’s what I learned from that. – What, you wanna adopt a corgi? – Not for TikTok. I just think they’re very cute little dogs. – All right, follow ’em all on TikTok. – Short, little legs. – Link’s in the description. – Oh, yeah, there are. – Please let this go viral, please.
