Beetlejuice What Are You Doing Just Hanging Around

It's an exploitable video meme featuring Lester "Beetlejuice" Green, a Howard Stern Show personality, responding "Nothing... Me? Just hanging around" when asked what he's doing2. The clip became a popular greenscreen template on TikTok for depicting oblivious or caught-in-the-act scenarios.

The original video was posted on December 15, 2021, by Beetlejuice's manager Robert Rooney on Instagram2. The clip shows Rooney interviewing Beet in a hotel room, and when asked what he's been doing, Beet casually replies "Nothing... Me? Just hanging around."

The meme portrays humorous ignorance or feigned innocence when someone is caught in a compromising situation3. Beet's nonchalant delivery of "just hanging around" creates comedic irony when paired with scenarios where someone clearly isn't just innocently hanging around.

Creators use greenscreen templates, particularly through CapCut, to overlay the Beetlejuice clip onto their own content2. The typical format shows an embarrassing or suspicious scenario in the background while Beet's unbothered response plays, creating humorous contrast.

The meme peaked in April 2023 when the CapCut template gained over 45,000 uses within two days2. While initial viral momentum has slowed, the template format still sees occasional use on TikTok for situational comedy content.
