Related Memes
Gurt: Yo
Yogurt / Gurt: Yo, also known as Yo Gurt / Gurt: Yo, refers to a pun on the word "yogurt," which morphs it into a conversation of someone saying, "Yogurt," and a character named "Gurt" responding, "Yo." The joke dates back as far as 2012, but didn't gain viral acclaim until 2025. The meme went viral on TikTok in March and April 2025, via a series of JuggTok videos that mutated the conversation into a phrasal template. Meme creators replaced the words, commonly having Gurt respond with "What's up twin," or "SYBAU." Others replaced the "yogurt" pun with other puns that turned one word into a greeting, such as "Support / Port: Sup."
What They're Doing Is Very Smart but Also Very Dangerous
What They're Doing Is Very Smart but Also Very Dangerous, also known as What He's Doing Is Very Smart but Also Very Dangerous, refers to a catchphrase and phrasal template used in a series of JuggTok memes showing cute animals doing something "very smart" but also "very dangerous." The trend could be described as JuggTok mixed with Soft Irony in the form of a parody nature documentary. The full phrasal template reads, "See this X. I knew this was going to happen. What they're doing is very smart. But also very dangerous," in which the X is replaced by the animal subject, among other subjects. The meme went viral on TikTok in April 2025.
