What is the same shirt prank on TikTok?
The same shirt prank became popular on TikTok in 2022. In the majority of videos, the prank works like this: A group of friends, typically consisting of couples, will have plans to hang out.
Without being too obvious, all the women in the group will buy their boyfriend/husband the same shirt and encourage them to wear it when they meet up with their friends. Fast forward to when they meet up and every guy notices that he is wearing the same shirt as all of the other men.

In many of these videos, each man, or rather prankee, is filmed walking in and acknowledging that they have the same shirt as the other male(s). At first, the men usually think it’s a coincidence. But usually after the third prankee rolls in with matching drip, the guys will start to realize that they were all just pawns in the ladies’ game of “Gotcha!”
Most of these videos are paired with the Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) audio on TikTok.

Furthermore, in these videos, the entrances are usually staggered, suggesting that the ladies are likely in a group chat arranging when everyone will walk in — and usually one woman is the designated camera person.
This prank oftentimes seems to take place during a holiday get-together as men may ask their partners for advice on what to wear. However, the prank can be pulled anytime.
