Understanding the Viral Fully Conscious Baby Meme on TikTok

A viral video of a family’s two children has sparked a new meme on TikTok, thanks to the seemingly advanced abilities of the youngest child.

Stefanie O’Brien, known as ‘sobrizzle’ on TikTok, gained popularity when she shared a video in which she asked her family members if they wanted to visit the Four Seasons Resort Orlando.

Despite all three individuals in the video eagerly saying “me”, it was the youngest who captured the attention of TikTok. Being held by an adult, Stefanie’s niece, who is still a baby, raised her hand and participated as well, causing a frenzy on the platform.

“Stefanie’s video of her niece quickly gained over 30 million views and earned her the title of “fully conscious”as users dubbed her the perfect baby ambassador for Four Seasons Hotels.”

Several viewers were left wondering about the remarkable comprehension skills displayed by the baby, with one commenter even requesting explanations. They asked for details such as the baby’s age and how the baby was aware of the four seasons.

Despite the anticipation of Stefanie’s update or explanation, TikTok has been flooded with edits and memes of the “fully conscious baby.”

The majority of videos participating in the trend include a clip from Stefanie’s video, followed by a voiceover for the baby, creating the illusion that the infant is capable of speaking in complete sentences and using formal English.

Creators have utilized a variety of methods, such as incorporating AI technology, utilizing filters, and including illustrations, to capture the unique “aura”and advanced intellect of babies.

Stefanie’s niece has been featured in other videos as the “fully conscious baby,”and has become a “baby ambassador”with edits of her and the Four Seasons dramatically edited together.

Despite causing concern among many viewers with the baby’s impressive cognitive abilities, one TikToker noted that the original video did not contain anything alarming.

Juniperdivine, known as ‘Juniper’, shared a video on TikTok in which she stated, “If you communicate with a baby like you would with an adult, they will learn at a much quicker pace.”

However, because we continue to place them in surroundings where they are perceived as infants rather than individuals who are maturing and developing their cognitive abilities, their learning progress is hindered.

Although research has yielded conflicting findings on this theory, there is some indication that utilizing Parentese rather than baby talk may benefit a child’s growth and development.
