About

My Mom Met My Dad is a series of TikTok videos in which a user shows photos of two celebrities they look like and label them their parents to the audio created by TikTik user @steeerling in July 2019 in which he says, "It all started when my mom met my dad and they fell in love and they had me. Hi, I'm ryan and my life is kinda crazy." The audio, meant to mock a cliché movie introduction has been used ever since to compare TikTok user's appearance to that of celebrity "parents."
