“POV: You’re the…” is a relatable TikTok trend built around the first-person perspective.
You add a text overlay, such as “POV: You’re the intern,” and film a short skit that puts the viewer in a familiar role.
The humor stems from exaggerated yet recognizable moments associated with that position.
You see this used across workplaces, schools, gyms, and online businesses.
Interns, junior employees, founders, clients, students, and creators all get their own POVs.
The clips are short, situational, and usually shot from eye level to reinforce the point-of-view framing.
The format is flexible. You can make it light satire, subtle sarcasm, or awkward realism. One clear scenario is enough to land the joke.
Why This Trend Matters Today
This trend is effective because POV framing immediately engages the viewer.
When the overlay says “you’re the intern,” the viewer isn’t watching someone else; they are the character.
That perspective increases watch time and relatability.
It also thrives on shared experience. Most viewers have been in similar roles or situations, which makes the humor feel personal.
Recognition drives comments like “this is too real” or “that was literally me,” helping the content spread.
POV videos are efficient. You don’t need multiple characters, dialogue, or context.
The setup is clear in one line, which fits fast-scrolling behavior.
How To Do The ‘POV: You’re The…’ Trend
Choose a role your audience understands: intern, new hire, freelancer, client, student, gym beginner, or first-time founder.
Add the overlay “POV: You’re the ___.” Then act out one specific moment tied to that role, such as confusion, pressure, overconfidence, or learning on the fly.
Keep the skit focused on a single beat.
One awkward email, one meeting moment, one task gone wrong. Film from the viewer’s perspective or straight-on so it feels immersive.
- Pro Tip: Exaggerate the emotion, not the situation. Subtle scenarios with heightened reactions feel more realistic and funnier.
