About

The Big 5 refers to a viral video of five TikTok users doing a lip dub to the meme rap song "The Bottom 2" by Glorb and referring to themselves in the description as "The big 5," sparking a series of memes about how nobody knows who any of the members of the so-called "big 5" are. Some memes include remakes and parodies of the video.

The term "the big 5" is inspired by "The Big Three," which is used to call them five of the biggest names on TikTok. The video was posted in late April 2026 and went viral in late May of that year. The members of the so-called "big 5" are TikTokers Nardio (@nardioooooo), RyRySpam (@ryryspam000), Jackie (@jaquelinearagonn), Nathan (@askaboutnathan) and Persussy (@p3rsussy).
