A new tick that allows people to tell if their friends and family have ever visited PornHub has gone viral on social media.
Audio that mashes upPornHub's introduction music with 'Redbone' by Childish Gambino is being used by TikTok users to test whether or not people they know are familiar with the sound.
The trick has become particularly popular with older siblings who want to discover whether or not their younger counterparts have ever visited the adult website.
The audio, titled "hey lol," was uploaded by TikTok user Khaleel Abdullah (@khaleel) on January 19.
The original video features Abdullah sitting at a desk as the animated PornHub logo playing on the screen.
Someone then walks into the room and the audio seamlessly switches to Redbone with the tell-tale image on the computer screen also disappearing.
In an interview with Distractify, Abdullah said that he got the idea for the TikTok from a video of a person watching the adult site only to have their mother walk in.
However, he never expected the audio mashup to become so popular that it would inspire a trend.
The drum and bass lick at the beginning of the audio is used by PornHub as a signature sound in many of its videos as the animate logo unfurls on the screen.
Other TikTok users began to turn Abdullah's sound into a challenge this month, with the premise that they play the music in the vicinity of a family member or friend and then watch their reaction to the opening part of the audio.
While videos of the trick have garnered millions of views, TikTok user @zaypelzer, admitted in a later TikTok video that he's "actually just gonna assume [the child in the videos] looks up bc he sees the camera's on him lmao."
However, sex educator Shafia Zaloom wrote for the Times that it is common for children to stumble across pornography (and seek it out) and that parents should have an open and honest discussion with them without judging about how it is now an accurate representation of sex.
