TikTok users love to be a part of the latest trends, and one of the newest ones is a bit dark but also funny for the right audience. As people visited home and otherwise spent time with their families over the holiday weekend, they read fake headlines about the death of a relative’s favorite celebrity, filming all the while to capture their reactions.

A video from TikTok user @stevescooche compiles some of these clips and has racked up about 10 million views since yesterday. The first clip is focused on an older couple as the person behind the camera fraudulently announces, “Oh my god: ‘Cher Dead At 81.’” Some in the room look up and offer a shocked, “No!” A man then yells, “My Cher?!”

Another user said in their video, “Oh my god: ‘Bon Jovi Dead At 60.’” Their shocked relative looked up before quickly summoning further research, saying as the video cuts off, “Alexa, did Bon Jovi…” Somebody else used Jon Bon Jovi for their video, too, and in that clip, after hearing the fake news, a woman urgently puts down her drink, gets up, and exclaims, “F*ck! Sorry, excuse me.” Of that video, a commenter cracked, “The Bon Jovi lady at the end got up like she is the executor of the will or something.”

Chance The Rapper Mistakenly Paid The Price For Forgetting The Lyrics In A Celebrity Karaoke Game

Jimmy Fallon is a menace and he must be stopped. His new show, That’s My Jam, riffs on some of the musical segments from The Tonight Show, which he also hosts, but also adds a head-to-head challenge aspect for its celebrity contestants with added, over-the-top consequences for the losers — and sometimes, even the winners, as Chance The Rapper and Joseph Gordon-Levitt learned in last night’s series premiere.

Chance and JGL, and their opponents, Alessia Cara and Josh Groban, were shut into their own isolation booths for a challenge called “Say It, Don’t Spray It,” in which the challenge is to sing along to a hit karaoke-style until the music suddenly drops out and the lyrics must be completed. Forgetting the lyric will cause the microphones to spray the team that misses the lyrics with water while getting it right will cause the other team to get hosed.

For the final round, the chosen song was Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ On A Prayer” sung by both teams. The music drops out just as Jon belts “we’ll make it, I swear” and JGL absolutely nails it — only for him and Chance to catch a faceful of H2O just as they begin to celebrate. It turns out, there might be a few kinks to work out of the system. To make up for the mistake, Alessia and Josh get splashed as well — although the “Here” singer is just small enough to avoid the worst of it — so justice was (sorta) served.
