His videos continued to go viral as he started to speak English in them too, like one TikTok posted on March 14th, 2024, receiving over 4.6 million plays and 377,700 likes in two months (shown below, right).

The piercer is now standing frozen in place, a single tear running down his face, but he cannot move at all.

I saw this completely out of context and was baffled by what was happening because I didn’t know what it meant. @alfonsopinpon_ made a platform on TikTok going up to people in the mall and asking them “Do you speak English or Spanish?” when they answer, he says (in either language), “Whoever moves first is gay.”

The videos typically have guys standing as still as physically possible, refusing to move.

Over three months, the video received roughly 185,500 plays and 7,900 likes (shown below).

Spread

On February 26th, 2024, TikToker @alfonsopinpon_ posted another video following the premise, receiving over 3.2 million plays and 418,200 likes in three months (shown below, left). It shows the deep homophobia that still exists in this world that the simple idea of being perceived as gay is enough to have (typically) straight men instantly freeze and refuse to move.

She has multiple podcasts, normally has opinions on any bit of pop culture, and can tell you can actors entire filmography off the top of her head. It is funny that men standing with their girlfriends or wives are that pressed about it, because they literally freeze in place. If you told me that Quicksilver from X-Men: Days of Future Past was running around them in slow-motion, I’d believe you!

Then, the heterosexual men freeze in a stare-down with the TikToker.

Rachel Leishman (She/Her) is the Editor in Chief of the Mary Sue. She's been a writer professionally since 2016 but was always obsessed with movies and television and writing about them growing up. I saw a video of a guy getting his ear pierced, but he stops the piercer by saying, “English or Spanish,” and runs away.

They’ll just be in every video as you are scrolling on your FYP, yet you can’t seem to find an explanation of what is going on. Then I figured it out. They’re literally just stopped in the middle of the mall.

So if you simply hear a TikTok say “English or Spanish” with someone freezing and was wondering what is the “English or Spanish” meme, you now know why it is happening.

For instance, on May 25th, 2024, TikToker @bucky_1222 posted a slow fade-in meme reading, "POV: you're walking in a mall and someone comes up to you and asks if 'you speak English or Spanish,'" gaining over 4.1 million plays and 681,700 likes in five days (shown below).

Some guys in the videos will literally stare straight ahead and not even blink when the women with them kind of roll their eyes and move around.
