The clip, which quickly gained traction online, captured both the sincerity of a proud parent and the hilarious twist that followed.
In the video that was posted by the woman under her TikTok handle @thatslowkey, she explained that her mom told her the following:
"I got you a new phone because you passed."
@thatslowkey was overwhelmed with gratitude as she accepted the gift, a sleek device designed to look like the latest iPhone model. However, the moment she inspected it more closely, things took a surprising turn.
While showcasing the phone to her followers, she pointed out that it resembled an iPhone but was missing the trademark Apple logo at the back. The real shock came when she switched it on, only to discover that the familiar Apple boot-up logo was nowhere to be found. Instead, the device revealed itself to be a cleverly disguised off-brand phone.
The TikTok creator, @thatslowkey, shared her reaction in the caption, writing:
"I almost peed my pants 😂🤣. Whoever is scamming our parents, stop😭."
Her playful frustration became a viral sensation as the video gained over 7.8 million views since it was published on November 18, 2025, by the social media user @thatslowkey.
