About

G-Force Training Video, also known as the G-Force Test Video, G-Force Meme or G-Force Pilot Mog, refers to a viral video of a man undergoing centrifuge training and passing out as his face distorts and his skin pulls back onto his face. The original video was taken in 2007 and published to YouTube soon after. In 2023, the video, among other g-force training videos, went viral on TikTok where the man was said to be "edging" across many videos. TikTokers then reversed the video, likening the man to the slang term "mog."

G-Force Mog

Meme creators on TikTok started to use a reversed version of the video in November 2023, likening the man to the slang term "mog" (a Looksmaxxing term) due to his face becoming normal in the reverse as well as him seemingly shouting the word "mog" when reversed.
