TikTok joke explained TikTok: Channel EverythingTikTokers have been left baffled after a viral video claimed there is a new category on Netflix known as Shmunguss, but is it real? Initially, when TikTok first started being a social media platform for people to share videos on, it was all about creatives, music, and art. You\u2019d only really see dance routines, lip-syncing clips, and the likes being shared. Now though, the short-form video platform has become home to pretty much every piece of content you can think of\/ Naturally, that also means pranks and viral clips have become rather prevalent. Some of these are obviously jokes, but there are others that split users, and prompt some debate or whether its fake or actually real. The newest of which has been the Netflix category of Shmunguss, which has left some users baffled. Is Shmunguss on Netflix real? If you haven\u2019t heard about the Shmunguss debate, you\u2019ve probably not seen channel.everything\u2019s video, which has racked up over 12 million views on TikTok. In the short clip, a man can be heard asking his partner about a new Netflix category \u2013 Shmunguss \u2013 that has apparently popped up on their feed. She tells him that she\u2019s using \u201ca VPN\u2019 to get different categories, but he responds nothing that this is out of the ordinary. Of course, the category of Shmunguss is just totally fake. The \u2018shows\u2019 that appear on the list are just parodies of other shows, but they\u2019ve fit the word Shmunguss in there somehow. So, don\u2019t worry, you aren\u2019t missing out. Some users quickly latched onto it being fake and got in on the joke, urging Netflix to extend their favorite Shmunguss shows for another few seasons. Others, though, didn\u2019t seem to cotton on to the joke. \u201cGoogle has NOTHING. I looked up one movie and NOTHING CAME UP, I\u2019ve NEVER seen an empty,\u201d said one. \u201cwhy is no one telling us what a shmunguss is???\u201d added another. There were some viewers who suggested it was \u201ctoo well made\u201d to be totally fake, and it could actually be Netflix\u2019s April Fools\u2019 plan leaking early. Either way, don\u2019t look for Shmunguss, you won\u2019t find it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Netflix\u2019s Shmunguss category real?
