TikTok’s ‘Suspect Challenge’ meme, explained

The “Suspect Challenge” is a popular TikTok trend where friends, relatives, and couples humorously insult each other, taking turns as a “cop” and “suspect” in a mock police scenario.

Launched in October 2024, it’s inspired by true-crime content and the “We’re X, Of Course We Y” meme.

Participants exchange playful, sometimes biting comments, often making the “suspect” stop running from laughter or mock offense.

Celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski joined, with videos mixing teasing with compliments, making it both entertaining and endearing.

The challenge is a fun way to roast loved ones and share laughs.
