Couples are hurling ‘criminal’ insults at each other with the “suspect challenge”, but this one is truly arresting

The “suspect challenge”, in which couples roast each other by pretending to be police officers describing their fleeing “suspect” with all manner of personal comments, has taken over TikTok.

It’s maybe not one to try if your partner is easily offended because these couples are ahem… taking no prisoners. They get very personal very quickly.

Comedians and married couple Darcy Michael and Jer Baer joined in with the trend – but Jer panicked.

Good job Darcy has a great sense of humour. Here are a few things TikTok users had to say about it.

This was the “healthiest” version of this trend and my absolute favorite.

“Never leave me” “we can’t afford it” is a daily convo in my household.

Y’all win this challenge. That and you running back and forth in your backyard.

Filming tiktok trends in public is so cringe.
Darcy & Jer

I love that you can tell the healthy relationships and the ones that maybe need to rethink things because of this trend.

Suspect is down, detective Jeremy took the final shot.

The trend seems to be related to a somewhat nicer version, where the “police” unwittingly compliment their suspect, who stops in their tracks to bask in the flattery.
