"Besides the Obvious" Prank

The "Besides the Obvious" prank baits someone into guessing what flaw you think they have by asking, "Besides the obvious, what's one thing you would change about yourself?" TikToker @lukefrompooks posted an early partner prank on April 29, 2026 that cleared 1.7 million views; the format spread across Instagram Reels and couple-comedy accounts through summer 2026.

High-profile versions amplified reach: the official Los Angeles Chargers TikTok posted a locker-room version on May 28 with 7.8 million views, and @taylorbcarter's husband prank on June 5 passed 19.2 million views. On July 20, an H3 Podcast caller used the line on Ethan Klein, who hung up—cementing the prank as mainstream rage-bait. Know Your Meme filed a submission July 23, 2026.
