Sheesh on TikTok
In March 2021, sheesh went viral on TikTok, a video-sharing social platform. The @meetjulio TikToker posted a video where he poured water on a frog with an audio recording of "sheesh" in a high-pitched voice playing in the background.
This spurned other TikTokers on to post memes about impressive feats with the "sheesh" audio (attributed to "King Julio") and #sheesh tag. Some video memes include bragging about impressive accomplishments, like a suped-up whip. However, most memes involved TikTokers pretending to be excited about something older adults think is cool, like a deck, kitchen backsplash, freshly-cut lawn, or appliance.
