Published November 3, 2026

Rating Every X is a TikTok trend where creators score items in a series, such as TV seasons or video game sequels, by cutting to one of five reaction clips per pick. The clips range in sentiment, with The Rock's "biggest piece of dog shit" at the bottom and a viral "that's why he's the GOAT" shout at the top. By September 2022, TikTokers were running the five-clip audio stack across franchise rankings on the platform.

Overview

In a Rating Every X video, a creator shows one item at a time from a franchise, then cuts to one of five audio reactions sourced from EDP445, The Rock, Cr1tikal, Homelander (from The Boys season one, episode six), and a viral "that's why he's the GOAT" shouter4. From worst to best, the ladder runs The Rock, EDP445's "I mean it's all right", Homelander's "it was perfect", Cr1tikal yelling "Woo!", and the GOAT yell6. The Rock's blunt insult plays as a comedic takedown1, EDP445 reads as a shrug2, and Cr1tikal's "Woo!" had already circulated as a stand-alone meme called Woo Yeah Baby5.

The five audio sources in Rating Every X originated separately before TikTok creators combined them in August 20224. The Rock, filming on set in 2015, called Tyrese Gibson's album Black Rose "the biggest piece of dog-shit that I've ever heard"; Tyrese posted the clip to Instagram in 2017 during a public feud with Johnson over a Fast & Furious release delay1. EDP445's "I mean it's all right" review of a Popeyes chicken sandwich was archived on YouTube on December 14, 20192. Cr1tikal's sarcastic "Woo!" came from his September 21, 2020 reaction to a Poopsie Slime Surprise toy3. The viral GOAT shouter was uploaded to YouTube in December 20186.

How It Spread

Rating Every X creators applied the five-tier audio stack to TV seasons and video game franchises on TikTok4. Franchises with a handful of discrete items fit cleanly, since each clip claims one rung on the five-level scale; longer rankings tend to recycle the three middle clips.

Several Rating Every X audio sources had their own meme lives before the mashup. The GOAT yeller's shout had been online on YouTube since December 20186. Cr1tikal's "Woo!" circulated earlier as Woo Yeah Baby5, and The Rock's rant drew news coverage during his 2017 Fast & Furious feud with Tyrese1.

How to Use This Meme

Creators typically line up five items from a franchise, often in release order, and play one of the clips per item to call its tier. Rankings with exactly five parts fit cleanly; longer sets usually recycle the three middle clips across repeated rungs.
