About
Do Not Put This Where It Does Not Belong is a TikTok trend inspired by a viral video in which a doctor discourages viewers from using Christmas tree shaped Christmas decorations as adult toys, repeatedly showing the decorations and saying, "Do not put this where it does not belong." The video was posted at the end of October 2023 and inspired a trend over the following months in which TikTokers recreate the video using other, more exaggerated objects.
