Couch Guy TikTok

Couch Guy TikTok is a side of TikTok featuring this video where a girlfriend visited her long distance boyfriend at college. The initially earnest video shows creator @laurenzarras surprising her boyfriend @souljawatchambassador. She gets the help of his friends who walk her into the room to surprise him.

Upon entering the room, we see the boyfriend a.k.a “Couch Guy” sitting on the couch with a few girls. He slides his phone in his hands and bends over in surprise at seeing his girlfriend. Then, she goes in for a hug and he stands up to greet her.

The song in the background of the video is by Ellie Goulding, “Still Falling For You.” But you’ll need to use this version of the audio by @audiobear to see the Couch Guy TikToks.

As often happens, this TikTok ended up on side it probably shouldn’t have. Millennials and generally people over college age found this video and commented on it like crazy. People are going wild criticizing couch guy’s reaction to his girlfriend. Many people are pointing to a phone scandal where the girl next to him slides him his cell phone. Others point out how the energy in the room shifts. People are analyzing the body language of the other people on the couch. The couch really was the scene of the crime and TikTokers are crime scene investigators.
