Tiktok Trend - Only The Funniest People Are Single Right Now - May 2025

The “Only the Funniest People Are Single Right Now” trend popped off in May 2025 and has quickly taken over TikTok and Instagram Reels feeds. It’s funny, self-aware, and plays perfectly into short-form comedy with just the right mix of awkwardness and real-life feelings.

This trend is all about showing confidence, then chaos, and finally a quiet (possibly lonely) truth. It’s relatable, easy to copy, and has huge viral potential — especially for creators who aren’t afraid to poke fun at themselves.

What’s this trend all about?

This trend follows a super clear three-part format. The line “Only the funniest people are single right now” appears on screen while the creator confidently looks at the camera. Then — *boom* — the music drops, and they start dancing or moving in a weird or exaggerated way to “prove” how funny they are. Finally, the vibe flips. The last shot shows the person in a quiet, normal, or even slightly sad setting, alone, just... sitting there. And that’s the joke.

It uses fast cuts, trending sounds, and body language to tell a short, punchy, relatable story — the funny one is still single.

What kind of videos people are making

• Example 1: Guy points smugly, dances wildly, then sits alone on the train looking serious.
• Example 2: Confident beginning, chaotic body movement in the middle, sad phone scroll at the end.
• Example 3: Dramatic arm gestures in the middle cut to someone eating cereal alone in silence.

Want to use it? Here’s the step-by-step

• Pick the trending audio — the main ones are:
  • Original Sound by JustGreatMusic🎧
  • Borderline by Ely Oaks & LAVINIA
  • Feel This Moment (Riddler & Reid Stefan Club Mix)
• Film 3 clips:
  1. Part 1 (Setup): Confident look, point at the camera, maybe a smug smile. Add text “Only the funniest people are single rigtht now” (yes, typo on purpose adds charm).
  2. Part 2 (Proof): Cut to a chaotic, weird, or awkward dance/move with the energetic beat. Keep text on screen.
  3. Part 3 (Punchline): Cut to a quiet, lonely, still shot. Sit in silence or look bored/sad. Text still on screen.
• Edit your clips together so they sync exactly with the beat changes.
• Add a caption like “yeah... still single 😂” or ask “what’s your single energy move?”
• Use hashtags like #onlythefunniestpeoplearesingle #fyp #comedy #relatable

When it works best (and why)

This trend pops when your contrast is strong — confident vs. awkward vs. silent. The music change, the text, and your body language all help deliver the joke.

• Be expressive: the bigger your movements or the blanker your final face, the better.
• Choose good spots: a cozy setup, a random open space, and a mundane lonely place (like a bus or bedroom).
• Time it right: sync your cuts with the audio perfectly.
• Don’t overdo it: short, sharp, funny — 10–15 seconds max.

When it doesn’t work (and why)

Some things can make the trend fall flat:

• Bad timing: If your cuts don’t match the audio changes, the joke won’t land.
• No contrast: If your energy doesn’t change much across the 3 clips, it loses impact.
• Trying too hard: The humor should feel casual or self-aware, not forced or overly rehearsed.
• Skipping the “alone” ending: That last shot is what makes it funny and relatable — don’t cut it short.

This trend is low-effort, high-impact — just the way viral content should be. If you’re willing to look a little silly and a little lonely, you’ll fit right in.
