Thompson's Cutz and Design's is a 2025 TikTok image macro built from a promotional side-profile photo of a customer at a real men's barbershop in Forney, Texas. Creators drop the image, complete with the shop's name and street address, as the surprise final frame of unrelated brainrot edits.

Overview

Thompson's Cutz and Design's is an image macro meme built around a promotional photo from a real men's barbershop at 133 E US HWY 80 in Forney, Texas1. The picture shows a white customer in side profile after a fresh haircut, with the shop's name and street address stamped in a caption at the bottom of the frame4. TikTok users started dropping the image at the end of unrelated videos in May 2025, treating it as a bait-and-switch punchline that read like a rogue local commercial2.

The format sits inside the wider Adrian Eeffoc Brainrot family of edits, which stitches together random exploitable clips into deliberately absurd loops4. The barbershop's actual owner, Keithen Thompson, runs the @thompsonscutzanddesigns TikTok account that pushed the joke into the algorithm, so the shop being memed and the shop promoting itself are the same operation3.

On April 27, 2022, Instagram user Keithen Thompson (@kteezy46) posted a set of photos of a customer at his shop, Thompson's Cutz and Design's, from several angles right after the haircut wrapped1. The post pulled around 110 likes over three years and sat mostly unnoticed until someone, likely Thompson himself, later uploaded the side-profile shot as an Instagram Story overlaid with the shop's name and its 133 E US HWY 80 address in Forney, Texas1.

The image first crossed over into meme use on May 20, 2025, when the TikTok account @thompsonscutzanddesigns posted a video built around a fake Yet tweet reading "FUCK THOMPSON'S CUTZ AND DESIGNS," which cut into an edit for the shop2. That video gathered more than 9,500 likes over the following three months4.

Two days later on August 4, X user @AwesomeNintend0 dropped the barbershop shot into a "Puberty to girl / Puberty to boy" exploitable template and drew 4,300 likes in a day7.

How to Use This Meme

The typical template uses the side-profile photo, with its baked-in caption of the shop name and address, as the final frame of a video edit4. Creators often lead with unrelated brainrot clips or bait-and-switch setups, then cut abruptly to the Thompson's Cutz and Design's image as a punchline that reads like a stray local advertisement.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no fixed meaning, the joke is that a random Forney, Texas barbershop ad keeps interrupting brainrot edits, treating the shop's name and 133 E US HWY 80 address as the surprise reveal4.

The image is typically placed as the final frame of a chaotic edit, often chained with clips like Kai Cenat AI videos or the Adrian, Explain Our Friend Group format3.

The format peaked during summer 2025 with hundreds of thousands of TikTok likes on the account's biggest edits3, and spread onto X into early August 2025 via posts like @AwesomeNintend0's puberty template7.
