The Livvy rizzed up Baby Gronk meme, explained

In a world where more and more of the content we see is being created by AI, we bold internet explorers frequently find ourselves encountering surreal images and phrases that dip into the uncanny valley.

One minute you’re watching a fun video of a puppy becoming friends with a kitten and the next you’re watching … well, what you’re about to see might be VERY weird to you.

It’s all about a phrase you might have seen all around the interwebs: Livvy rizzed up Baby Gronk. It’s currently all over TikTok, Twitter, you name it.

And it’s on videos like this one:

I’ll give you a moment to mentally recover from what you’ve just seen.

Feeling better? OK, let’s try and make some sense of what we just saw.

Firstly, we need to do some translation for those of us who don’t spend a lot of time on TikTok. Rizz, according to our friends at USA Today, is defined as “a slang term often used to describe someone’s ability to flirt and be charming, especially for their verbal communication while pursuing a romantic interest.”

The video explains who Baby Gronk is: he’s a young football player named Madden San Miguel who has a huge social media following.

But what about Livvy? That would be LSU gymnast and social media influencer Olivia Dunne. She didn’t literally flirt with Baby Gronk. But they did meet in a video posted this week and maybe that means he’ll want to be a Tiger.

If you were confused before that explanation, don’t worry — so was everyone else. The video seemed to trigger mass confusion on the internet and led to a series of hilarious memes.

There you have it.
