The ‘So Come On Superman’ trend is buzzing on TikTok as users playfully mock their own predictable behaviors or catchphrases.
The trend utilizes the specific lyric “So come on Superman, say your stupid line” from Tame Impala’s hit song “The Less I Know The Better.”
Creators lip-sync to this line while looking expectant or annoyed, then cut to a clip or text overlay revealing the “stupid line” they say constantly.
This “line” is often a cliché associated with their niche, a repetitive question they ask their partner, or a common complaint they make, effectively calling themselves out for being repetitive.
This trend resonates because it turns self-awareness into comedy.
Everyone has phrases or habits they repeat ad nauseam, often to the annoyance or amusement of those around them.
By framing these habits as a “stupid line” that a superhero might say, creators add a layer of irony and self-deprecation that feels relatable and authentic.
It transforms a mundane personal quirk into a shared cultural moment, inviting the audience to laugh along with the creator’s lack of originality in specific situations.
How To Do The ‘Come On Superman’ Trend
To participate effectively, identify a phrase or question you are known for in your specific niche.
If you are a social media manager, your “stupid line” might be “Can you send me that in a different format?”
If you are in a relationship, it might be “What do you want for dinner?” (followed by rejecting every suggestion).
Visually, the first part of the video should build tension or expectation, while the second part delivers the “punchline” text. In the caption, ask your followers what their “stupid line” is to drive engagement.
Key Takeaways:
- It builds connection through self-deprecating humor and shared “cliché” experiences.
- Success relies on choosing a “line” that is instantly recognizable to your specific audience or niche.
