On TikTok: “Fake Celebrity Death Announcements” – IOTW Report

On TikTok: “Fake Celebrity Death Announcements”

Some of the reactions seemed fake, too.

NYP: TikTok is “killing” celebrities — and the results are chaos. 

The platform’s latest twisted trend depicts people reacting to fake celebrity death announcements, “Candid Camera” style. In each of these morbid videos, the person filming the prank breaks the fake “news” to friends and family members. They pretend they’re reading the information online, and then film the ensuing reactions of outrage, shock and sadness. 

In one video, the voice behind the camera proclaims, “Oh my God. Cher dead at 81,” while a group of people at a party wail, “Nooo!”  In another video, a young prankster tells her mom: “Jon Bon Jovi dead at 60, heart attack.” Her mom reacts by shouting, “What?! Get out of here!” Another poster who was trying to fool her friends about Bon Jovi was met with the stunned reaction: “Shut the f–k up!” MORE

  1. I can’t think of one celebrity/famous person whose death I would react to like this. Not one. Get lives, people.

    The only one that MAY have come close was Rush, but we all knew his time was limited so his death was not a shock. I still remember that day. As soon as Katherine began to speak I knew he was gone. One of the saddest days in our Republic’s history.

  2. Pretty much all of the old timers I gave even a half a thought about are dead. Mainly old singers and mainly because they were part of my youth and they sure aren’t making anymore of them, performers today are horrible.

    I honestly can’t think of any actors or actresses I even payed much attention to when they died, other than to think about how old I am.

    I’ve honestly never understood being upset about someone I didn’t know dying.

  3. I predicted Stephen King to pass in 2022.
    I still have time…
    Perhaps the fucker is already dead?

    BTW, I’m prepping my dead pool for 2023.
    No layups like Jimmy & Rosyln Carter…some real legit predictions from the Loco Crystal Ball…

  4. I’d like to see the Retarded Pedophile Usurper Joey Biden stroke out in front of the cameras – along with Rancid Nan – but I don’t really expect that to happen.

    And to read that Kamel-Ho Harris had choked on a Donkey Dick – but I know that CAN’T happen – Hell, she wouldn’t choke on an Elephant Dick – not that any self-respecting Elephant would put his dick in her foul, diseased mouth.

  5. I would have bet money that Larry King died in the 90’s. I’m still surprised every time I see that walking cadaver. I was bummed out when I heard Jerry Garcia died, but I listened to a couple of songs he played on and got over it.
    And what about this “tragic end today for Willie Nelsen” I have been seeing on the internet for the past few years? Should I be worried?

  6. Cher is ten years older than I am and I am not 71.

    A few years ago a friend posted on FB that Don Knotts had died. I told him “I hate to tell you but he has been dead for ten years.”
