TikTok users are urinating on themselves as part of the revolting ‘Pee Your Pants Challenge,’ and while it allegedly started as a joke, it quickly became the latest trend to go viral on the platform.
The disgusting videos show people (mostly guys) standing in front of their bathroom mirrors fully dressed as they proudly wet themselves — all while catching the entire thing on camera.
Liam Weyer, 19, from Kansas, started the challenge on April 21 when he posted footage of himself peeing his pants and aptly dubbed it the #peeyourpantschallenge. Too far?

Whoops! The teen claims he filmed the video as a parody of other ‘pointless’ challenges and was surprised that it started to trend
In the clip, he is wearing a T-shirt and shorts as he looks in the mirror and says, ‘Pee your pants challenge.’
Viewers can then hear his stream of urine hitting the floor as a wet spot forms on his shorts.
The video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, though Liam had to repost the clip after TikTok removed the original.
Many people were appalled by the footage, with some blaming the coronavirus pandemic for leading to such a gross challenge.
‘I refuse to believe this video exists,’ one person commented, while another added: ‘People seriously need to get back to work soon…everyone has gone insane.’

Gross: Evan laughs as a stream of urine snakes down his leg, but then he starts to groan. He pans the camera toward the ground to show the puddle of pee he is standing in
‘This lockdown is making people even more insane,’ someone else agreed.
While it’s undoubtedly disgusting, Liam inadvertently inspired others to take part in the challenge, though he insists the video was meant to be a spoof.
‘I am definitely surprised that the challenge actually became a trend,’ Liam told Insider via email. ‘I created the challenge as a parody of the other challenges that have gone viral on the internet in an attempt to show how pointless they are.
‘I am surprised to see that people on the internet will pee themselves if you call it a challenge and add a hashtag.’
While Liam never intended on people following his lead, many have. The #peeyourpantschallenge hashtag that he started has more than 3.3 million views.

Plenty of people have also used the hashtag to share their disgust regarding the challenge or to post gags where they pretend they’re going pee their pants before changing their minds.
The new challenge is almost as sickening as the toilet-licking challenge that took place in mid-March amid the coronavirus pandemic, prompting a fierce backlash from horrified critics.
