As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours navigating the digital landscapes of numerous games and platforms, I can confidently say that the “I understand it now” meme resonates deeply with me. It’s not just about basketball trick shots or romantic misses; it encapsulates the moment of clarity, the epiphany, when you finally conquer a challenging level in a game, or figure out that secret glitch that gives you an unfair advantage (but we won’t talk about that).


As you navigate through TikTok and similar social platforms, you might have come across clips that include the widely popular phrase, “Now I get it.

On TikTok, the popular phrase “I get it now” originated from Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews, a user renowned for his stunning basketball trick shots.

On June 6, 2024, Lethal Shooter’s video demonstrating his shooting abilities, which involved placing point guards as barriers around the rim, began to become popular.

As I whiffed on my first attempt, I realized what went wrong, then sunk the ball cleanly past the defensive point guards. The clip of that moment skyrocketed online, garnering over 18 million views and 2.5 million likes within a mere five months.

The expression “I get it now” has evolved and gained popularity on its own. By November 2024, TikTok users began utilizing it playfully across different scenarios to indicate a quick comprehension or epiphany, frequently in connection with amusing or humorous circumstances.

Specifically, it mirrors the online colloquialism “locking in,” a point when an individual becomes fully engrossed or takes a matter earnestly.

Users on TikTok are sharing amusing scenes that depict flirting, gaming, or common activities, often requiring a focused effort, which they label using the popular term, “Lock In Challenge.

On the 5th of November, I shared a humorous TikTok post where I joked about not grasping the concept of a “first romantic move” initially, but now I get it. This video has since amassed an astounding 8 million views and 1.4 million likes!

In the gaming world, I recently came across a clip posted by huncho619, where he was tearing it up in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. His final comment, “I get it now,” hinted at him finally grasping the game’s intricacies. The post took off like wildfire, racking up over 155,000 views and a whopping 29,000 likes in no time!

Initially, as the meme gained popularity, it sparked a contrasting response among TikTok users. At first, they would comment “I don’t understand” or “I don’t get it” on relevant posts. However, after some time, they would often return to those same posts with a new comment: “I get it now.

The recent TikTok craze you’re seeing is yet another viral sensation, similar to the widespread popularity of the “Is that a ghost behind you, Fiona?” trend last month which dominated the platform.
