The most viral dance of the moment is officially Wednesday Addams'. The short scene from which the dance is taken takes up less than 3 minutes of the entire series, but that was enough for the song + the spontaneous choreography to become a hit.
What makes this moment so magical?
The Wednesday dance is, in a way, a ticket we can all feel weird about without feeling bad about it. Song and movement give us permission to be weird, original, free, without thinking too much about what's going on around us.
Moreover, the character itself conveys familiarity, as Wednesday Addams has been around since the late 1930s—first as a nameless comic character, then as a small child on a television sitcom, played by Christina Ricci, and now as a teenage girl played by Jenna Ortega.
Of course, part of all the influence is also TikTok. The more often you see something, the more likely you are to like it and become obsessed with it. And we've seen Wednesday's dance hundreds of times so far! We're not complaining about that.
