Has the viral 'Tung Tung Tung Sahur' meme crossed your feed yet? Here's all about the trend
The "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" meme has taken TikTok by storm in 2025, capturing the attention of users with its creepy yet intriguing content. The meme features an animated wooden character, resembling a cylindrical piece of wood, accompanied by the chant 'Tung Tung Tung Sahur.' The character's voiceover and surreal visuals have left many users wondering about its meaning and origin. The meme's roots trace back to a TikTok video shared by user @noxaasht in February 2025. In this initial post, the character—referred to as Tung Tung Tung Sahur—is depicted holding a wooden bat and appears when the word "sahur" is said three times. In Ramadan, "sahur" is the pre-dawn meal consumed before the fast begins, making the meme a nod to the early morning drumming traditions in Indonesia that wake people for sahur. As the trend spread, users on TikTok created their own versions, remixing the sound and visualizing it with AI-generated characters. The meme has since evolved into a full-blown internet phenomenon, with creators adding their unique twists and using the iconic chant in various formats. Some even use a special 'Tung Tung Tung Sahur' filter to further fuel the viral trend. The meme's appeal lies in its oddity and the sense of internet-driven creativity, drawing comparisons to other TikTok memes like Tim Cheese and John Pork—meme trends that also feature seemingly nonsensical or bizarre elements. Though the meme started as a simple, quirky piece of content, it has now become a cultural reference, with users adopting it as part of their online identity. As the meme continues to thrive on TikTok, its future remains uncertain, but for now, the 'Tung Tung Tung Sahur' meme is a prime example of how internet trends evolve, blending surreal storytelling with cultural references.
