The Explosive Popularity of the Grimace Shake
The Grimace Shake trend originated in 2022 when TikTok user @schmoyoho filmed himself drinking the purple shake and immediately cutting to a clip of him passed out on the floor. The video rapidly went viral, amassing over 30 million views in a matter of weeks.
According to TikTok statistics, over 500,000 videos have since been created using the Grimace Shake template, with the hashtag #grimasshake being viewed over 1 billion times. This massively viral meme even attracted participation from big brands like Dunkin‘ Donuts, who created their own shakes and "pass out" videos.
The inspiration came from McDonald‘s itself. In 2022, they sold a limited-edition Grimace Birthday Milkshake as part of a promotion, tying into the birthday of their iconic mascot. The striking purple color and nostalgic connection to Grimace sparked the TikTok trend.

Removing the Grimace Shake on Capcut
If you‘ve edited a TikTok using Capcut‘s Grimace Shake template but now want to remove it, the process is straightforward:
-
Open the Capcut project containing the Grimace Shake effect.
-
Tap and drag the Grimace Shake overlay to move it around. This unlocks it for editing.
-
Use two fingers to pinch inwards and minimize the shake, making it smaller.
-
Continue minimizing the shake overlay until a trash can icon appears.
- Tap the trash can icon to completely delete the Grimace Shake effect.
It should now be removed from your video! If it doesn‘t delete, make sure you correctly clicked the trash can icon while minimizing.

– Suggest creative alternatives for "fixing" videos already posted with the shake
Limited Options for Removing Grimace Shake on TikTok
Unfortunately, once a TikTok using the Grimace Shake template is posted, there is no built-in way to remove the effect.
Unlike Capcut, the TikTok app does not allow editing or permanently deleting filters/effects on already published videos. This restriction is likely to maintain the integrity and consistency of content.
Your only option is to delete the video entirely and re-post a new version without the shake effect included. Some creative workarounds include:
-
Posting a follow-up video making fun of your original Grimace Shake video. Lean into the humor!
-
Filming a "duet" video responding to your original and using your body to block the shake effect from view.
-
Adding captions apologizing for or explaining your desire to remove the Grimace Shake.
-
Placing stickers strategically to hide the shaking effect.
Overall, the Grimace Shake effect is challenging to remove after posting to TikTok, so make sure to delete it in Capcut first! But the effect has brought laughter and creativity to the platform.
