About

Giant Skeleton Trampling a City is a viral video and 3D animation by artist Alex Howard that depicts a giant skeleton walking through a populated area at night, sending shockwaves as he steps, with the scene observed as if it was from a passenger aircraft. A repost of the video from 2022 with the caption "wyd in this situation?" spawned a trend on X / Twitter in which users replied with their possible reactions, often humorously unrelated to the imagined situation.

The video achieved initial traction on X / Twitter as users quoted the post with humorous captions. On March 21st, 2022, X[5] user @mercutihoe captioned the post, "streaming lana del rey," gaining over 200 reposts and 2,000 likes in three years.
