Meet Khaby Lame, The Silent TikToker Who Has Millions Of Followers (Watch)

Khaby Lame is hugely popular on TikTok and Instagram thanks to his unorthodox way of creating content and getting people to hook to them although he barely talks.

With over 84.2 million followers on TikTok, Lame, who is of Senegalese-Italian descent has now become the second-most followed person on the app. On Instagram, he has a more modest 27.7 million followers.

In a report we culled from MeAww

to reinforce this write-up, we gathered that Khaby Lame started to impress users on the internet when he started reacting to lifehack and 5-minute craft videos.

It quickly became his USP as Lame kept a deadpan face when reacting to exaggerated lifehack videos that are seemingly meant to make one’s life easy. Lame made a name for himself by responding to other TikTok videos and adding his own comedic spin to it.

The website adds that Lame’s videos, the first half are made up of a ‘life hack’ that is meant to solve a particular ‘problem’ but ends up complicating it multi folds. The second half consists of Lame’s punchline, as he keeps a straight expression while sharing a better, actually easier, solution.

In most of his videos, not only does Lame put on a straight face but he can often be seen donning an exasperated face. As life hacks turn from complicated to sheer ridiculous, Lame makes it funny with only his expressions. In an interview with The New York Times in June 2021, Lame said that his muted reactions are a “global language.” “It’s my face and my expressions which make people laugh,” he had said.
