Women On TikTok Recreating One Hilarious Hamilton Scene
In case you needed a reason to feel old, it's already the 10-year anniversary of Hamilton. To mark a decade of the iconic musical, the original cast reunited for a performance at this year's Tonys, and the filmed version of the show is set to be released in theaters in September. Of course, the internet at large is choosing to respond to this decennial anniversary with the most randomly hilarious trend possible: a TikToks where women dressed in colonial drag sneak out a window and lip-sync to the song "Best of Wives and Best of Women" and insinuate that Alexander thinks his wife is like, so annoying for having the gall to catch him sneaking off to his (spoiler alert) death. The trend began when TikTok user actuallyhamilt0n posted their hilarious interpretation of the scene. Instead of the tragic irony that accompanies the knowledge that Alexander is slinking off only to meet his death, we get an Alexander who literally can't even deal right now with his annoying, nagging wife. One commenter on the video wrote, "this isn't a hamilton cosplay, this is a lin manuel miranda cosplay": Another said, "imagine looking out your window to see how peaceful the night is then you see alexander hamilton is your neighbour and is halfway through a window 😭😭": And the History Channel wrote, "this is our first impression of u and we love u": People quickly jumped on the trend, and each video is cracking me up in its own way. The facial expressions in this one are absolutely perfect: "This is the best one I've seen, how did u know how to act like an inconvenienced man so well," asked one commenter. The creator replied, "Cuz I've been inconvenienced by men." Dying. "You really capture his essence of not wanting to be around his wife," one user wrote. Another person said, "The 'I know' smile is killing me." Hard same. The window-creeping here is too good: He might be the worst husband in the world — this commenter wrote, "you perfectly capture the 'I hate my wife and have no emotion when talking to her' look in his eye." "It's seeing the moment you realized how high that window was but also you not breaking character," one woman said. Or, more to the point, "THE WAY YOU'RE SILENTLY PANICKING." Of course, the trend (and the effort put in) only got more ridiculous from there. This example is particularly funny: And I was evidently not the only one wondering why everyone has a colonial outfit ready to don. Seriously: People were joking about how horrible of a husband Alexander truly was: As time went on, the sets and costumes somehow grew so much more elaborate — for example, see this one with a horse: One user wrote, "The budget increase as I scroll thru this trend is sending me." "Not the horse side eyeing her," said someone else: And another person said, "I like the implication that she was sleeping in the stall." Me too, random internet user. Me too. This Alexander was particularly committed to a hilarious location. Walking straight into the water is frying me: "When you turned around with the goggles on I LOST ITTTTTT," a commenter wrote. "We finally made it out the window goddamit," another person quipped. This Alexander opted for the most amazing, creepy, funny mask I have ever seen instead of the typical drawn-on goatee, and I am obsessed with that choice: The costume was so good I almost didn't even clock that Alex was exiting through the chimney. One fairly composed user replied to that by saying, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT," expressing my own thoughts more eloquently than perhaps I ever could. Another commenter (who happens to be Staples) wrote, "please stay in the chimney I'm scared." Hard agree. This person referenced the song lyric, "I'll be back before I know I'm gone," and said, "please don't." And this person pointed out that "AI could never replicate this art." True. This creator had the genius idea of setting their video in a water slide. "Hamilton will do literally anything to get away from Eliza," they captioned the video. And this Alexander seems particularly fed up by his wife. I am laughing so hard. "This is the best I've seen so far," commented a user named Sean. And as a bonus, here are some other Hamilton videos inspired by this trend that I thought were absolutely hilarious: This woman getting caught filming her lip-sync is so funny: This one — the lipstick on the neck? The underwear? I'm laughing: And finally, what may be my favorite video to date. Between the outfit and the facial expressions, this one has me absolutely dying: The internet is a weird place — I wouldn't have been able to predict this trend in a million years, but now that it's here, I think it's so funny. Tell me your favorite video (or just your thoughts in general) down in the comments below!

Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' actually is the song of the summer — but nobody wants to admit it
According to the charts, Alex Warren's hit single "Ordinary" is the undisputed song of the summer. The song has reigned at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for nine weeks, but fans and critics remain unenthused. The love song has taken off on pop radio and is perfect fodder for relationship montages on TikTok. Where is this year's song of the summer? It's the question that's haunted road trippers and pool partiers for months now. But like so many low-stakes mysteries, the answer has been hiding in plain sight (or, in this case, earshot) all along. If we're going with cold, hard facts — Billboard chart data — there's one song that's dominated the airwaves as the weather has warmed. It's just that a soaring love ballad a 24-year-old TikToker wrote about his wife is not exactly the ideal soundtrack for your day at the beach. Released in February, Alex Warren's "Ordinary" took a few months to take off, becoming a bona fide commercial juggernaut by June, when it ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's remained atop the all-genre chart for nine weeks so far, and continues to dominate Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, where it hasn't budged from its No. 1 position since Memorial Day. Though it makes every attempt to sound momentous, "Ordinary" is a love song that's true to its name. Dedicated to Warren's wife, Kouvr Annon, the song uses vaguely spiritual lyrics to describe their connection. His vocals backed by hymnal echoes and a pounding drum line, Warren insists "the angels up in the clouds are jealous" of his marital bliss and compares his wife to a sanctuary, a vineyard, and a sculptor. If the song's theme of divine love wasn't clear enough, the couple also costars in the music video, and Warren later released a "wedding version" of the song paired with footage from their real-life nuptials. That the song is generically gooey has worked to its advantage in the airplay department. "Ordinary" owes much of its longevity to companies like iHeartMedia, America's biggest radio network, which allocates tens of thousands of spins to the song each week. In its most recent week atop the Hot 100, "Ordinary" tallied over 73 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Billboard, compared to only 12.4 million streams and 6,000 copies sold. The song's lack of specificity also makes it a broadly appealing soundtrack for lovey-dovey moments on TikTok, where both versions of "Ordinary" have been used in millions of videos with billions of cumulative views. Annon's own uses of the song, usually featuring sweet moments with Warren, frequently collect over 1 million likes. Call it the home court advantage: As a former YouTuber who joined Hype House, a flashy collective for big-name TikTokers, in 2020, Warren learned and then perfected the art of getting engagement. He and Annon briefly lived in the Los Angeles mansion together, constantly creating content, orchestrating David Dobrik-style pranks, and sharing glimpses of their lives together; Warren described the experience as "college, but for social media." "It helped me learn how to create content that resonates with an audience and can captivate people," he told Variety. Warren's self-conscious positioning as America's top new "wife guy" offers the media a tidy narrative to push while reporting on the song's success — and helps cement "Ordinary" as a favorite song choice for romantic montages and relationship content across the internet. But the differential between the song's commercial utility and its artistic value has perplexed critics and fans alike. "Genuinely WHO is listening to this," reads a recent tweet with over 27,000 likes. Even r/popheads, a Reddit community for recreational pop scholars whose self-appointed mission is to take the merits of the genre seriously, is full of cold contempt for the song's dominance. "I don't think you can deeply hate the song by itself," one commenter wrote, "because it's so fucking boring." Rolling Stone's Larisha Paul coined the phrase "'The Voice' Audition Core" to characterize the musical formula that "Ordinary" follows: ideal for soundtracking a throwaway emotional moment on reality TV, but devoid of any real personality. Indeed, Warren performed the song on the "Love Is Blind" season eight reunion special, slotting easily into a generic vision of happily ever after literally accompanied by a montage of couples. Still, there's no denying that "Ordinary" is the summer's defining hit. Remaining atop the Hot 100 for over two months is no small feat, and even as late-season challengers have emerged — most recently in the form of a fictional K-pop group from a Netflix film — there isn't enough time before the autumnal equinox for another song to challenge Warren's reign. It's just a shame that many excellent summertime jams actually have been released this year, they just lacked the radio push or market power to challenge "Ordinary" at the top of the charts. Addison Rae is Warren's fellow former TikToker-turned-singer, but the similarities end there; her cool-girl collaborators and creative curiosity resulted in a debut album, "Addison," that toes the line between nostalgic and eccentric. (The appropriately named "Summer Forever" is a standout.) Lorde's latest album, "Virgin," includes gems like "Shapeshifter" and "Favorite Daughter," which wrap arresting lyrics in melodic, highly accessible packages, the ghost of last year's "Brat summer" hovering on the margins. Care for something a little less personal, a little more irreverent? Tinashe and Disco Lines have you covered with the freshly remixed "No Broke Boys." And forget song of the summer, Haim's "Relationships" may be the song of the year. Danielle Haim and her sisters manage to spin the agony of indecision into flippant, funky magic. As the season winds down, a new Taylor Swift album draws closer, and the charts begin to change shape, may "Ordinary" serve as a reminder that summer trends may disappoint or underwhelm — but they never last forever.
