Why Teala Dunn\u2019s viral swimming joke is making TikTok mad Instagram: Teala DunnTikTok fans have just about had it with ClubHouse member Teala Dunn, who is making it her mission to run one joke into the ground as far as it will go. Teala is an actress, influencer, and a member of Daisy Keech\u2019s Clubhouse BH creator collective since July. Teala has more than 2.7 million followers on TikTok and more than 3 million followers on Instagram. But the star has come under fire in the last few weeks for repeatedly posting TikToks that use the same joke, over and over. It all began at the beginning of August when Teala posted a video saying \u201cFun fact, actually really really sad fact, I can\u2019t swim, I literally don\u2019t know how to swim, I got this big-ass pool and can\u2019t swim.\u201d Mid-way through the video she turns around in her bikini to directly face the pool behind her. Immediately viewers took to the comments to accuse her of baiting fans into looking at her body. One user wrote \u201cDo you feel better now? Did he text you after posting this?\u201d, while another commenter said, \u201cShe had to turn all the way around to make sure the pool was still there.\u201d The comment section was filled with people describing her as \u201cembarrassing\u201d and \u201cobvious.\u201d Teala took the criticism and ran with it. In mid-August she posted another video, turning around to see the pool like her previous video and said: \u201cThe pool actually is right there\u2026like this video if you want to teach me how to swim, please.\u201d TikTokers didn\u2019t appreciate round 2 either with several commenting that she had \u201cruined the joke.\u201d Although not everyone was mad about it. One commenter on her latest video said \u201cAm I the only person who still finds these funny?\u201d Another person wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s hilarious because y\u2019all are so mad but she\u2019s just vibing.\u201d Teala wasn\u2019t deterred. She repeated the joke in countless videos thereafter claiming she doesn\u2019t know how to grill, that her hot tub doesn\u2019t work and that she can\u2019t drive a Lamborghini. In the following videos, she asked viewers to \u201clike this video if you think the joke is getting old\u201d and \u201clike this video if you think I\u2019m annoying as hell\u201d and \u201cLike if you think I should throw myself in the pool.\u201d And it seems to be working, Tesla\u2019s TikToks are consistently amassing millions of views per post, with the original video has reached more than 21,000. On every video, some people are still trying to be heard, writing comments such as \u201cAre you gonna stop anytime soon or what?\u201d and \u201cThis joke died ten years ago.\u201d However, Teala\u2019s TikTok account has grown by more than 700,000 in the last month. Perhaps the joke is on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
