The 'I Ain't Never Seen Two Pretty Best Friends' meme originated from a viral TikTok video posted by Jayland Penny (@jayrscottyy) in late 2020. In the clip, Penny leans toward his car camera and delivers the now-legendary line claiming that in every pair of best friends, one is always 'ugly.' His intense stare and the specific cadence of the rant turned the video into a massive bait-and-switch meme. Users across social media began incorporating the audio into unexpected transitions, using it to troll viewers or highlight situations where something seems too good to be true. It remains a staple of early 2020s internet culture, representing the peak of TikTok's 'jump scare' style humor.
