About a week ago a colleague tweeted about "Reba TikTok," and as a geriatric millennial, I was immediately intrigued. Country singer Reba McEntire's heartwarming sitcom, was a mainstay on the crappy television my Dad received as a graduation gift. The show managed to entertain despite the set's horrifyingly grainy quality, and I became very acquainted with the single mom's unorthodox family and friends. While it seemed odd that TikTok would embrace an ancient show that ran from 2001-2007, I bit. And boy am I glad I did.
My introduction came via TikToker @iconaklast, who shared a video of themselves doing the gallant duty of throwing away expired milk, set to Reba's "I'm a Survivor." Midway through the video, @iconaklast transforms into an impressive version of the redheaded entertainer, replete with a warm and friendly motherly smile.
@iconaklast I will not be taking that trash out. @reba ##reba ##rebamcentire ##imasurvivor ##celebritylookalike ##cosplay
♬ I'm A Survivor - Reba McEntire
Most of the "I'm A Survivor" memes have a similar theme. You know, glorifying small, menial tasks that should be effortless for well-adjusted human beings. Doing laundry. Replacing the toilet paper. Chucking spoiled milk. Others riff on being a motherly figure to the friend group. Our favorite makes a funny nod to Twilight by replacing Reba with sweet, sweet Charlie Swan. There's load of them floating around TikTok, but we've put together our favorites (and the most popular) right here for your convenient perusal. If Reba's in on the joke, you should be too.
