Exploring the Viral TikTok Trend: “Are You Sure” from Invincible

TikTok has become a breeding ground for a variety of meme trends, and one of the latest sensations taking the platform by storm in March 2025 is the “Are you sure?” meme, inspired by the animated series *Invincible*.

This meme originates from a moment in the show where Omni-Man, voiced by J. K.Simmons, questions his son Mark’s (Steven Yeun) excitement about gaining superpowers with the line, “Are you sure?” This scene, featuring a blend of skepticism and excitement, has spurred a plethora of absurd, brainrot-style edits across TikTok.

The Birth of the “Are you sure?” Meme

The pilot episode of *Invincible*, which debuted on March 26, 2021, centers on teenager Mark Grayson as he uncovers his superpowers. During an important dinner scene, he shares the news with his parents, only for his father, Omni-Man, to respond with doubt instead of the expected encouragement. This unexpected reaction quickly caught the attention of viewers, transforming into a prime subject for meme creation.

The scene gained traction on YouTube, with a clip shared by Anime Moments on May 26, 2021, surpassing 200, 000 views. However, it wasn’t until March 2025, coinciding with the finale of *Invincible*’s third season, that TikTok users truly embraced this scene, launching it into a viral phenomenon.

The first widely recognized “Are you sure?” edit was uploaded by TikTok user mbvlayne on March 9, 2025. This video garnered an impressive 1.4 million views and 287, 000 likes, marking the beginning of this trending meme format.

Shortly after, content creator realomniman8 contributed a dimmed version of the clip on March 17, which garnered over 181, 000 views. The comments section was filled with humor, as users playfully remarked that “they didn’t pay the electric bill.”

The same day, another TikTok user, sailordogs, shared a heavily pixelated rendition accompanied by ominous music, which also went viral with 1.7 million views and 184, 000 likes. Additionally, invincihdih produced a deep-fried, oversaturated edit that reached over 1.3 million views on March 18.

The “Are you sure?” edits embody the essence of brainrot memes, harnessing the absurdity of Omni-Man’s doubtful demeanor juxtaposed with Mark’s elation. This contrast cultivates an environment ripe for ironic and exaggerated interpretations.

This trend also taps into the broader meme culture surrounding *Invincible*, which previously birthed notable memes like the ‘Think, Mark!‘ phenomenon in 2021 and the viral Omni-Man staring edits.

As March draws to a close, the “Are you sure?” meme continues to thrive, with new iterations constantly appearing on TikTok’s For You Page. While its longevity compared to iconic memes like ‘Think, Mark!’ remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the internet’s love for *Invincible* memes is as vibrant as ever.

This meme is just one of several trends gaining momentum on TikTok in 2025, alongside the increasingly popular Tim Cheese meme and the ‘Velocity’ challenge.
