Most of the social media trends have common roots with TikTok, which includes dances, song challenges, and hashtags. Influencers and content producers usually initiate such viral trends and people just jump on the bandwagon. While some trends genuinely bring joy to people, others could even jeopardize one’s life. The social media app is infamous for creating some of the most absurd trends and challenges that ended up on the news. However, the Roman Empire trend posed no threat to life and was actually quite amusing. 

A viral TikTok trend has been creating a buzz on the Internet. In this trend, women asked their male partners how often they thought about the Roman Empire. Recently, Netflix hopped on the popular trend and shared a video on Twitter in the most hilarious way. 

Netflix’s take on the viral Roman Empire trend

The purpose of this ongoing trend was to show how obsessed men were with the Roman Empire. And as per men’s responses, they think about the Roman civilization at least three to four times a day. The viral TikTok trend gave rise to numerous memes, among which one says “Are you even in a relationship if she hasn’t asked you about the Roman Empire?”. And the OTT giant hoped on it in the most awkward way and posted a clip from the popular British Netflix show, Cunk On Earth. 

In the clip, Diane Morgan, also popular as Philomena Cunk, takes her audience on a journey to understanding the Roman Empire. The actress and comedian spoke about the dark age of the Romans and how their empire fell apart. Netflix captioned the clip of Charlie Brooker’s mockumentary saying, “Sorry but she’s the only one allowed to think about the Roman empire”. This had the fans in stitches who flooded the comments with laughing emojis in response to the hilarious post.

Apart from the Roman Empire, there is one more trend that has been generating a lot of funny memes.

The funniest TikTok meme trend of September

One of the biggest events of September 2023 has to be the VMAs. While the highlight of the show was definitely Swift sweeping the award categories, the celebrities definitely gave the memers something to work on. Whether it was Taylor Swift jamming out to several of the performances or the content creators taking a jab at the red-carpet looks of the celebrities, there were some stellar memes in the making. However, the celebrity that became the best meme material was Selena Gomez.

While the ‘Single Soon’ singer definitely took everyone’s breath away with her ethereal outfit, the 31-year-old had some of the most hilarious reactions at the event. From looking clueless to widening her eyes with shock during Olivia Rodrigo’s performance, she became a subject of viral memes. Gomez even took to Instagram and posted a story after the event saying, “I will never be a meme again”. The ‘Who Says’ singer went on to say that she would rather sit still than be dragged for being herself.
