Understanding the ‘Dumb Ahh Pumpkin’ Trend: Why Goofy Gourds are Going Viral on TikTok

Excited TikTok users are eagerly jumping into the trending ‘dumb ahh pumpkin’ phenomenon, a playful expression of Halloween spirit that’s gaining traction online.

This spooky season, TikTok has become the hub for Halloween-inspired trends. From creating spooky makeup looks to assembling festive ‘boo baskets,’ there are numerous creative ways to enjoy October 31st.

This year’s standout trend involves crafting the so-called ‘dumb ahh pumpkin,’ which features carved designs that boast exaggerated buck teeth, wide-set eyes, and sometimes even quirky glasses.

The phrase “ahh” serves as a humorous euphemism for “ass,” making the trend’s title a playful take on “dumb-ass pumpkin.” TikTok users cleverly adopted this term, as their whimsically carved pumpkins are the epitome of comically silly faces.

User ‘arabellavanderzee’ invited her followers to rate her interpretation of the trend with a post that showcased her ‘dumb ahh pumpkin.’

“Absolutely amazing,” one viewer remarked. “They look so silly,” another chimed in.

While TikTok-ers indulge in the fun of creating silly pumpkin faces, they’re equally busy celebrating Halloween in myriad other exciting ways.

One TikToker, renowned for his spectacular light displays, decorated his mansion festively to the tune of AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ to mark the spooky season.

Another creator showcased an impressive 12-foot-tall disco-ball skeleton that raised concerns of potential fire hazards due to its reflective surface.
