About
What My Friends Send Me at 3am is a caption used on TikTok videos consisting of re-uploaded, out of context absurd videos from across the web. The phrase went viral on the platform in early December of 2020 as users began attaching it via on-screen caption to reuploads of absurd animated videos for massive views. These videos are typically set to Grandayy's "Lil Globglogabgalab."[1] The format is similar to What Sort of Pics Usually Get Sent at 3am but with videos instead of images.
