00:00Have you been healed by the 2K sunset? Well, TikToker Foofy has, and his miracle inspired a
00:05meme across TikTok. Foofy is a gaming TikToker whose videos tend to follow the same format,
00:10a split screen with a clip from a video game at the bottom, him just staring at the screen on top,
00:15and a text caption with a white background in the middle. So on May 31st, when he uploaded a video
00:20following the same format, there was no indication that it would spawn a viral meme. This TikTok's
00:24video was a clip of a sunset from the video game NBA 2K, and the top video is, as per usual,
00:30him just staring, this time seemingly wrapped in a bathrobe or blanket. The text caption reads,
00:35POV 2K sunsets healed you. Though he doesn't specify from what, leaving us all in suspense
00:41regarding a potential medical breakthrough? The video, set to the song Best Part by her and
00:45Daniel Caesar, went on to garner over 5 million views in just over a week.
00:54As it spread, TikTokers jumped on the bandwagon, copying Foofy's video style, but generally replacing
01:06the bottom clip with sunsets from all varieties of other video games, like Valorant, Overwatch,
01:12Marvel Rivals, even the sunsets in the Weather app did their share of healing. Generally,
01:16these would be set to the same Best Part track. The meme spiraled, as they tend to do,
01:20with users inverting the format, posting TikToks about 2K sunsets harming them instead of healing
01:25them. Users would also make memes showing Foofy in the top frame and something that wasn't a sunset
01:30in the bottom frame, but still claimed potential healing powers. Some creators would even make
01:35fan art of Foofy using the meme format, or get meta with it, claiming that the meme itself healed
01:39them, or use the format to post a cover of the song.
