The Hilarious TikTok Trend Where People Impersonate Celebrities As Owls
Nobody asked for celebrity owls, but now we can't get enough.
TikTokers have a special talent for turning the most random concepts into viral sensations that dominate everyone's feeds for weeks.
One day it's a dance challenge, the next it's people filming themselves doing absolutely nothing to dramatic music. The platform thrives on this kind of creative chaos, where the stranger the idea, the more likely it is to catch fire and spread across millions of users.
The latest trend to capture TikTok's collective attention involves owl impressions, but not in the way you might expect. Users aren't just making generic hooting sounds and calling it a day. Instead, they're combining owl noises with celebrity impressions, creating a bizarre hybrid that somehow works perfectly.
The result is people hooting like owls while channeling everyone from the Kardashians to Jay-Z to fictional characters like Professor Snape from Harry Potter.
What makes this trend so entertaining is the specificity involved. These aren't lazy attempts at humor; creators are genuinely nailing the vocal quirks, mannerisms, and personalities of the celebrities they're impersonating, just filtered through the medium of owl sounds.
A Kardashian owl has that distinctive vocal fry.... A Jennifer Coolidge owl captures her signature drawl... A Titanic owl incorporates Celine Dion's iconic soundtrack.
The attention to detail elevates what could have been a throwaway joke into something genuinely clever.
We've rounded up some of the best examples from this delightfully weird corner of TikTok. Sit back, grab your popcorn, and enjoy the show.

It's not just celebrities getting the owl treatment. TikToker @aalexsings went a completely different direction with his impression "of an owl that was on the Titanic."
