The video showcases a cat reacting with wide, unblinking eyes to various old TikTok trends, including a water pouring sound, a person dancing to 'Potato' song, a man with a large mouth filter, and a couple doing a dance trend. The cat's consistent, unamused expression provides a comedic contrast to the human antics.

Why it worked
The humor comes from the cat's deadpan, unblinking reaction to increasingly absurd human TikTok trends, creating a relatable and funny 'judgemental pet' meme. The nostalgia factor of old TikTok trends also resonates with viewers, while the cat's consistent reaction makes it a simple yet effective comedic device.
