TikTok is blissing out on the dancefloor with Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm is currently enjoying a viral renaissance on TikTok, as creators flock to a particular scene from his Apple TV series, *Your Friends and Neighbors*. This series, which debuted in April, features Hamm in a role that captures a moment of escapism rather than sheer joy. The scene in question is from Season 1, Episode 8, titled “When Did We Become These People?” Here, Hamm portrays Andrew Cooper, a disgraced financier who finds himself at rock bottom but escapes his troubles through a night of dancing. This juxtaposition of his character’s despair and the carefree atmosphere of the dancefloor has resonated with TikTok users, leading to a meme that celebrates the blissful moments in life, however fleeting they may be.
The TikTok trend involves creators stitching Hamm’s scene to express feelings of unexpected joy in mundane situations. For instance, users have shared their own relatable scenarios, such as the delight of discovering a dog that usually shies away from strangers or the thrill of finally watching *Lord of the Rings* for the first time. These moments of happiness are set to Kato’s 2010 track “Turn The Lights Off,” creating a vibrant backdrop that enhances the euphoric vibe. The meme has evolved to incorporate various clips, including cats enjoying affectionate scritches, perfectly mirroring Hamm’s blissful demeanor on the dancefloor. This trend is a testament to TikTok’s power in reshaping music discovery and popularizing older tracks, as it seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary digital culture.
Ultimately, this TikTok phenomenon may not delve deeply into profound themes, but it encapsulates the essence of pure enjoyment and the simple pleasures that can brighten our day. Much like the viral cockatiel videos that captivated audiences in the past, Hamm’s dancefloor moment serves as a reminder of the joy found in life’s small victories. Whether it’s a shared laugh or a moment of connection, this meme invites users to celebrate the euphoric highs amidst life’s challenges, all while contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of online culture.

Season 1, episode 8, titled “When Did We Become These People?” captures not euphoria per se, but a pure moment of unbridled escapism in Hamm’s character, Andrew Cooper, a disgraced, desperate financier who begins stealing from his neighbours. In the scene, Coop has hit a bit of a rock bottom and counters it with a night out, eventually finding himself on a dancefloor in a trance to Joseph William Morgan’s “Sentient System” (the TikTok memes don’t use this song).
Essentially, this TikTok meme isn’t that deep, it’s just vibes.
Like those cockatiels a while back.
