About
That Boy Look Busy, Nevermind, He Gettin' Rizzy refers to a viral video of a teenage boy talking to two younger girls at a high school football game when another teenager, seemingly his friend, approaches him and says, "That boy look busy. Nevermind, he getting rizzy," in reference to the slang term rizz. Then, the cameraman asks the girls what grade they're in to which they reply, "6th grade," inspiring shock and disgust in the man and in many viewers of the video. In late 2023, the video gained meme edits on TikTok and inspired a photo slideshow trend on the app.
Origin
On September 7th, 2023, TikToker[1] @jason.tren posted a video which started with comment section banter between him and his friend Vincent, transitioning into a screen recording of an Instagram story (from private user @musabi.sab[2]) presumably showing one of @jason.tren's friends talking to two girls at a high school football game. In the video, the cameraman walks up and says, "That boy look busy. Nevermind, he getting rizzy," and then asks the girls what grade they're in to which they reply, "6th grade." The cameraman walks away shocked and @jason.tren added a Vine Boom edit. Over the course of one month, the video gained roughly 875,000 plays and 153,300 likes (shown below). It is currently the first-known upload of the video.
Spread
Going into September 2023, the video was reposted to YouTube.[3] It was also posted in the /r/BruceDropEmOff[4] subreddit on September 15th, 2023, eventually leading to a reaction from streamer BruceDropEmOff which, when clipped and uploaded to YouTube[5] on September 23rd, received roughly 7,300 views in 12 days (shown below).
On the same day, September 23rd, 2023, TikToker[6] @droopl posted an edit of the video, splicing together memes like Kazuya Guy and Shocked Black Guy. Over the course of 12 days, the video received roughly 15.4 million plays and 2.4 million likes (shown below, left). The edit inspired copycats, such as TikToker[7] @gawk_am on September 29th, whose edit received roughly 228,700 plays and 6,800 likes in a week (shown below, right).
Using the sound[8] of TikToker[6] @droopl's video, others on the app started posting photo slideshows with the meme's audio that included three photos with text correlating with the video's words. Most of the slideshows showcased a meme celebrity known for predatory behavior. For instance, an early example was uploaded TikToker[9] @mommyryan69 on October 1st, 2023, referencing EDP's Predator Poachers video, gaining roughly 824,800 plays and 129,600 likes in five days (photos shown below).
By October 6th, 2023, the trend's primary TikTok sound[8] had amassed over 22,000 posts.
