TikTok ‘suspicious challenge’ running trend explained

A new TikTok trend is simultaneously exposing people and bringing them together in fits of laughter.

In the now-viral “Call the Suspects” videos, one person jogs while the person filming the video roasts him in the form of a police broadcast, describing the fleeing man as a “suspect.”

Couples, siblings and friends have jumped on the bandwagon, turning off those who are the running “suspects” and those who play the authority figure mocking the runner.

IN one popular versionwhich has racked up over 18 million views, the pair can’t stop laughing as they take turns stabbing each other.

Describing her partner, the woman says: “The suspect has hair like a 14-year-old boy.” They then switch roles and the man quips, “The suspect looks like she’s running for the first time in her entire life.”
