The original videos began spreading on the platform in mid-March 2026 and quickly gained traction for their exaggerated gestures and expressive movements. The trend became especially popular among nurses and other professionals in scrubs. The trend also includes ironic edits and general mockery and discourse surrounding Phibz across the platform.
