# We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas is a TikTok video edit trend built around a 2017 scene from ABC sitcom The Middle, where Frankie Heck walks in carrying eight pizzas and her son Brick reacts with a manic little dance. The meme picked up steam in mid-March 2025 through distorted-audio remixes that pulled millions of TikTok views in a matter of days. ## Overview We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas is a video edit trend that pulls a short exchange from The Middle, an ABC family sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2018[1]. In the clip, Patricia Heaton's Frankie Heck bursts into a room announcing, 'We just got eight free pizzas,' and Atticus Shaffer's Brick Heck answers with a giggling little dance[3]. TikTok editors chop that beat, warp the audio, and loop Brick's jig, turning a two-second reaction into the chaotic centerpiece of the edit. The format sits alongside a wider set of surreal TikTok edits sometimes grouped under the SueTok label, which also mine older family sitcoms for absurdist bit humor. Some versions splice We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas together with the parallel Frank Heffley Schizophrenia meme, and a spin-off called You're Gonna Love Our Pizza, again centered on Brick Heck, surfaced later in March 2025[6]. ## How It Spread The format broke out about a month later. On March 15th, 2025, TikToker @alex_bauw posted a heavily distorted edit that looped and multiplied Brick's dance across the frame, and the video crossed 7 million views in three days[4]. The next day, March 16th, TikToker @matthew._fox uploaded a live-action reenactment set to the scene's audio, copying Brick's dance move for move, and pulled more than 990,000 views in 48 hours[5]. Later that same day, TikToker @not_spife blended the pizzas clip with the Frank Heffley Schizophrenia meme, an edit that cleared 3 million views in two days[6]. On March 17th, 2025, TikToker @dehskajhsh posted an image macro of Brick sitting and staring blankly, captioned, 'How it feels to be on 8 free pizzas when everyone else is on frank heffley schizophrenic,' which pushed past 170,000 views in under a day[7]. By the end of that week, the pizzas clip was one of the go-to source scenes in the wider wave of SueTok-style TikTok edits[3]. ## How to Use Most versions of We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas take the original Middle clip and layer on pitch-shifted audio, screen-shake, and looped copies of Brick's dance filling the frame. TikTokers typically stack the scene with an in-joke caption in the corner, or splice it into another chaotic TikTok trend like Frank Heffley Schizophrenia. Live-action reenactments of Brick's dance, played straight to the original audio, are a common variant. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas?
