The 'Pass The Phone Challenge' originated as a viral social media trend on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where participants would film themselves describing a specific (often embarrassing or funny) trait of another person before handing the phone over. The prompt usually begins with the phrase 'I'm passing the phone to someone who...' followed by a witty call-out. As the trend moved into image-based formats, it became a popular way to roast fictional characters, celebrities, or specific groups of people. It thrives on the 'call-out' culture of the internet, providing a structured yet flexible way to deliver observational humor and playful insults within a community or friend group.
