When the Video Is So Fire You Gotta Send It to X

About

When the Video Is So Fire You Gotta Send It to X, also known as When the Video Is So Fire You Gotta Share It to X, refers to a phrasal template that jokes about a TikTok video being so good ("fire") that it prompts the viewer to share it with an obscure contact. The contact is usually a person-less entity like an iOS app, company or brand. The meme videos were mostly shared on TikTok in early 2024, paired with rapper Lil Jon's verse on the song "Turn Down for What." The memes fall under the category of Slow Fade-In Irony, similar to memes using the phrase, When the Video's So Relatable You Gotta Do the Ultimate Combo.
