About

Awkwardly Staring Dogs, also known as Dogs Awkwardly Staring or Confused Dogs, refers to a greenscreen template of a black labrador dog staring at a brown boykin spaniel dog with so-called "awkward" expressions that makes them look shocked at something off-camera. The meme template trended on TikTok in late 2023, paired with a CapCut template called "Awkwardly starring." Most of the memes with the dogs were paired with the song "Weatherman" by Hank Williams Jr. The original video of the black dog was posted to China's TikTok app Douyin in late 2022.
