What is TikTok’s ‘I love your daughter’ trend? Sean Gunn’s short film goes viral

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours scrolling through TikTok, I must say that the ‘I love your daughter’ trend has been one of the most entertaining and unexpected viral sensations this year! Coming from someone who’s seen Gilmore Girls multiple times, it was fascinating to see Sean Gunn’s role in Kirk Gleason being repurposed for a dance challenge.


Sean Gunn, known for his roles in Gilmore Girls, initiated the ‘I love your daughter’ trend on TikTok when people discovered an audio clip from one of his short films and started using it.

The “I love your daughter” trend on TikTok started gaining popularity in September and it’s been spreading like wildfire ever since.

In simpler terms, the pattern often indicates men highlighting their qualities or appealing points to a woman. In response, the TikTok user typically breaks into a dance, showcasing their most attractive features.

The trend’s audio features a scene from Sean Gunn’s short film, A Film By Kirk. Gunn previously played the role of Kirk Gleason in Gilmore Girls, a 2000s drama about friendship, family, and all the in-betweens.

At the start, Gunn expresses his affection for the girl, saying, “I’m in love with your daughter.” To which the father replies, “What gives you the right to love my daughter, what can you provide?

In response, Gunn simply says, “Just this,” before launching into a modern dance performance. The entire time, his dear one watches with admiration.

Furthermore, the pattern showcases the song titled ‘Breathe’ by Olly Alexander. The song’s lyrics convey a message of liberation and self-expression: “What does this mean, darling? Loosen up your spirit, stop behaving wildly. Recalling all the joyful moments regularly. If you try that, it makes me act suspicious.

TikTokers have made the ‘I love your daughter’ trend their own, with unique spins to each video.

TikTok user Austin Pepito gained over 43 million views by participating in a popular trend. Following the viral sound clip, Pepito gracefully performed the worm dance on the floor. He then posed the question, “Would you still find me lovable if I turned into a worm?

In a different rendition, social media sensation Brian Jordan Alvarez gained popularity with his video titled ‘I love your daughter,’ where he gracefully danced in a sensual manner to the song ‘Breath’ as he navigated through an airport with his luggage.

“This is working for me, I fear,” commented an interested viewer. 

This October, the interpretive dance challenge on TikTok has attracted millions of viewers. Users participate by creating their unique dances, hoping that their requests will be granted.
