What happens when you follow TikTok trends blindly? Well, you might end up becoming a viral social media meme. This is what happened with a man when he decided to be funny and tried the superglue prank on his lips only to end up crying as his lips got sealed. Here’s all you need to know about the hilarious incident.
The internet is a playground for creativity and risk-taking. From challenges to pranks, virality has become the ultimate goal in the era of social media. Oftentimes, people cross their limits for the sake of getting viral on the Internet only to end up becoming a joke. In a similar incident, a man was on the verge of a panic attack after his lips got sealed when he tried recreating the viral superglue prank. The man from the Philippines wanted to try something ‘crazy’ with the purpose of entertainment. But his attempt soon became a rather serious incident that he invited due to his apparent stupidity.

The man who goes by the account @badis_tv on Instagram uploaded a video on the social media platform where he was seen applying superglue around his mouth before pressing his lips together. He was grinning as he expected funny results but a wave of fear came across his face the moment he started opening his mouth. His expression changed from fun to panic as he realized he had sealed his lips and they were firmly shut, thanks to the superglue he used. As he attempted to open his mouth, the situation worsened; perhaps, he was in pain.
He was fumbling around trying to figure out “what to do now.” Tears started rolling down his cheeks as he was seen whining in fear. His amusement turned to panic when he realized his lips wouldn’t budge easily now. Perhaps he realized the gravity of his mistake but this was too late. As the video went viral on social media, it received over 47 lakh views and several comments. Netizens were amused at the hilarious incident. While some went on to comment witty stuff like “Why not in the eyes”, some were in disbelief and expressed their concerns. Some even wrote, “I hope he learned his lesson.”
As humorous as it may sound, it is actually a risky and equally stupid thing to do. We have seen many examples – a man falling off a cliff while clicking a selfie; a woman forgetting her child on the highway while she’s busy shooting a reel. And now this. Think twice before you go to the extremes to become viral on social media.
