The viral “fake morning routine” trend on TikTok is creating some epic laughter between Gen X (and older millennials) and their Gen Z kids. These two generations, known for their shared dark humor, come together in ways that are both relatable and entertaining. This trend showcases the best of both worlds, capturing the essence of their comedic chemistry.
In this trend, teens and young adults are tasked with creating a TikTok video for school, a fraternity or sorority, or similar activities, where they detail their supposed “morning routine.” Parents are expected to play along, nodding and smiling as their kids share exaggerated or outright false claims about their day-to-day lives.
If you’re familiar with Gen Z, you can guess how this goes. “I usually wake up around 7:30 or 8 o’clock…” and immediately, Dad bursts into laughter, asking, “At night?” He can’t help himself! “I walk the dogs and make breakfast for me and my mom,” the teen continues, while Mom dutifully nods, but Dad is still in stitches, questioning the authenticity of the claims.
Countless videos have emerged, each one funnier than the last. Gen Z has a knack for creating absurd content, and the reactions from their Gen X parents, filled with disbelief and sarcasm, add to the comedic gold.
Examples of Hilarious Fake Morning Routines
Take, for instance, a girl named Chloe whose mom munches on snacks in the background. Before Chloe finishes her sentence about rising at 5:30, her mom erupts into laughter. “Stop, I’m recording!” Chloe exclaims, but the giggles keep coming. “I like to do my morning run,” she adds, which sends her mom into full-on hysterics. It’s evident that mom knows this is a joke, yet Chloe persists, claiming she prepares breakfast and does homework every morning, cracking up to the point of falling on the floor.
Then there’s Max, who claims he “wakes up at 5 a.m.” to make breakfast, while Dad, chewing gum, silently shakes his head. At the end of his video, Dad reveals that when he leaves for work, Max is still sleeping, and when he returns, guess what? Max is still asleep!
Another teen, Tia, sets up her video in front of her parents, saying she wakes up at 7:15 each morning. While Mom appears indifferent, Dad can’t contain himself as Tia claims to help with the laundry. “Nobody helps me with the cleaning,” Tia asserts, and Mom’s reaction is priceless, caught between disbelief and amusement.
In another instance, Ava tells her mom this is a school assignment, but Mom, clearly not buying it, insists, “She has no routine!” Pointing at Ava, she exclaims, “SHE’S LYING!” and the video hilariously ends as they both dissolve into laughter.
Reese tries her hand at the trend too, asserting she wakes up at 7 a.m. Her mom’s expression is a clear indication that this is a total fabrication. As Reese continues with her claims of showering and putting on makeup, Mom can’t help but question, “Is this Reese?” while maintaining a straight face until the video abruptly cuts off.
A Trend Worth Sharing
This trending phenomenon is a delightful source of joy and laughter, deserving of its own hashtag. You can find some videos under #fakemorningroutine, but many are scattered without tags. Parents could even flip the script and create their own TikToks pretending to be Pinterest-perfect moms, capturing their kids’ reactions for a good laugh. Ultimately, any trend that fosters laughter between parents and teens is a win!
