**TikTok’s Newest Trend Mocks Emergency Contacts**

TikTok users are getting a kick out of the individuals they’ve selected as their emergency contacts.

A trending phenomenon has taken off where individuals display their emergency contact—often a significant other—engaging in humorous, strange, or even reckless actions. The comedy arises from the disparity: *This* is the individual tasked with managing crises? The trend humorously emphasizes the ridiculousness of depending on someone who engages in questionable antics to be the one fielding the call when trouble arises.

Accompanied by the Hannah Montana tune [“Ordinary Girl”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzouHgJ1aGQ), these clips generally showcase men participating in bizarre or ill-conceived activities. Nonetheless, the mood remains jovial, and the posts are quickly going viral, accumulating millions of views.

For instance, one clip features a guy forcefully burying his head in the snow.

Another shows Detroit Lions athlete Amon-Ra St. Brown just being silly.

Podcaster Joe Santagato also makes a cameo in this trend.

And then there’s a fellow simply channeling his inner bro.

Some TikTok users have noted that they swapped their mom out as their emergency contact for someone… markedly less reliable.

Even Will Ferrell has joined in on the fun—imagine having *him* as your emergency contact!

At its essence, this trend taps into the awareness that, at a certain point, *you* transition into adulthood. Many individuals still perceive themselves as the young and reckless ones, yet here they are, leaning on someone just as quirky to serve as their emergency contact.
