The Henry Danger meme trend, often referred to as ‘Henry Danger Side Eye’ or ‘Henry Danger Looking,’ surged in popularity on TikTok in September 2024. It showcases clips from the Nickelodeon sitcom ‘Henry Danger’ alongside captions formatted similar to image macros, which feature humorous or relatable text overlays.
This meme primarily features the show’s protagonist, Henry, portrayed by Jace Norman, who often gives a dubious look at something off-screen across various scenes in the series.

The meme trend kicked off on September 6, 2024, thanks to TikTok user justin.0528. They shared a clip from the show where Henry sings into a microphone while making a directly exaggerated and somewhat eerie stare at the camera.

The original audio was replaced with a sped-up version featuring a racially insensitive term repeated several times. The caption on the clip humorously stated: “POV: You’re about to lose an argument online, so you pull out plan B.”
This initial video quickly captured the attention of TikTok users, leading to thousands adopting clips from the show and adding their own relatable captions.
