Overview

TikTok Nurse Coffin Dance Controversy refers to a video uploaded to TikTok in April 2020 by @JoedMarieLaboyDes, a doctor based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in which a group of nurses carry a fake corpse labeled "COVID-19" to imitate the coffin dance meme. The video circulated Twitter and drew negative comments due to the dark subject matter.

Background

On April 29th, 2020, Twitter user @realjuliasong reposted TikToker @JoedMarieLaboyDes's video (original has since been deleted). The video captioned, "The corona tik tok nurse videos cannot get any wor…" received over 2.1 million views, 12,700 likes and 4,400 retweets in two days (shown below).



Developments

On April 19th, 2020, Twitter users continued to discuss the video. Twitter user @PrisonPlanet posted another one of @JoedMarieLaboyDes's TikTok videos captioned, "For people asking “is this real?” – yes, her Tik Tok page is full of hospital dancing videos" (shown below). The tweet garnered over 95,000 views, 2,700 likes and 900 retweets in two days.



That day, although some Twitter users dismissed the TikTok video saying that making TikTok videos is a "coping mechanism," the response was overwhelmingly negative. Twitter user @MsBlaireWhite[3] tweeted, "The dancing was one thing. I stomached it and told myself they need to blow off steam. This??? This is gross" (shown below, left) and Twitter user @purdhommeobrien[4] tweeted, "6 people and not one stopped and said; “this might not be a good idea” (shown below, right). The tweets accumulated over 2,500 likes and 360 likes respectively in two days. The Daily Dot[2] and Daily Wire[1] published articles on the video.

Roman 'Car On A Virus' Yoder 🧢 @masteryodaiv · Apr 30 Replying to  @_alex_joshua They are carrying Covid19's dead body... because they just beat it. To the sound of the funeral meme that has been going around.  I think people are overinterpretting this ti  Blaire White @MsBlaireWhite · Apr 30 Replying to  @whotookmaname Nurses using COVID to clout chase on Tiktok while people are dying and losing their livelihoods because of it. Troy Boulay @tboulay · Apr 30 I agree that it should never have been a tiktok @EmAlwaysSmiles · Apr 30 That is so disrespectful to the other healthcare workers that are on the frontlines as well as those who have lost someone - me included. I hope the hospital they work for finds this. Disgusting. Tripp Whitbeck @trippwhitbeck · Apr 30 This *literally* might be the single most tasteless thing I have seen all year... and 2020 has been horrendous. #TikTokNurses  @JonahDispatch   @thedispatch   @jonathanvswan Quote Tweet  ESSENTIAL Julia Song @realjul
