# How's My Form? "How's My Form?" is an April 2020 TikTok format where creators bait a demographic with a stereotypical hook, reveal a deep-fried image of themselves acting out the stereotype, and ask "How's my form?" The clips often played 645AR's song "Yoga" and spread fast through mid-April before several variations drew racism accusations on Twitter. By April 19, one repost aimed at a Black teen girl collected over 60,000 likes and prompted Daily Dot coverage. ## Origin TikToker Carter Ricket uploaded the earliest known "How's My Form?" video on April 14, 2020. The clip opened with "Best s3x position for guys with 9-12inchers," then switched to "okay, now that all the black guys are here can you help me with my waves?" above a deep-fried self-portrait. The video collected over 423,900 likes in its first week[4]. - **Platform:** TikTok (Twitter backlash) - **Creator:** Carter Ricket - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview Each "How's My Form?" video opens with a text overlay promising something tailored to a specific group, such as "Best s3x position for guys with 9-12inchers," which tricks the target demographic into clicking. A second caption flips the setup, often reading "okay, now that all the [group] are here..." paired with a deep-fried, oversaturated photo of the creator mimicking a stereotyped action, before closing on the question "How's my form?"[4] Many clips play "Yoga" by rapper 645AR as the soundtrack[4]. The deep-fried effect, meaning crushed JPEG artifacts and blown-out colors, is central to the joke's exaggeration. Posters cycled the format across racial, ethnic and subculture lines, covering everything from waves and locs to tattoos and makeup. Backlash on Twitter targeted versions aimed at Black and Hispanic groups, with critics calling the clips racist instead of ironic[1]. ## How to Use A typical entry stacks three beats in order: a bait caption aimed at one demographic, a second caption addressing that demographic directly, and a deep-fried self-portrait of the creator acting out a stereotype associated with the group, closed by the question "How's my form?"[4] Most posters set the audio to 645AR's "Yoga"[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is How's My Form??
