Well, it&#8217;s the sofa that Lauren Zarras surprised her boyfriend with on TikTok, and has since become an internet sensation. She has even created a t-shirt line, called &#8216;Couch Guy,&#8217; to promote the &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217; brand. The t-shirt line was a massive success, and Lauren Zarras is preparing to launch a new line of &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217; t-shirts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lauren_Zarras_surprised_her_boyfriend_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Lauren Zarras surprised her boyfriend on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A long-distance boyfriend&#8217;s surprise video has gone viral, and it&#8217;s left many on the internet scratching their heads. A TikTok user posted a video of her surprise to her boyfriend, whose video went viral for all the wrong reasons. Here&#8217;s what happened: Lauren Zarras recorded a video of her surprise, set to Ellie Goulding&#8217;s &#8220;Still Falling For You.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lauren Zarras&#8217;s video went viral, and it sparked a massive TikTok debate. While the video was funny at first, viewers joked that it was gaslighting. The video quickly went viral, and her boyfriend&#8217;s reaction was equally polarizing. He was immediately suspicious. After all, his reaction was more than a little bit unnerving. But Zarras isn&#8217;t letting this incident get her down.<\/p>\n<p>While she is praised for being so daring and creative, some commenters were able to judge her for not doing it faster. The boyfriend defended himself by hugging another girl like a dear aunt. As a result, the video has garnered over 60 million views in just a few days. And it&#8217;s not just a video. Lauren has even made a series of videos showcasing her boyfriend&#8217;s reaction to a surprise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robert_McCoy_is_Couch_Guy\"><\/span>Robert McCoy is &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The internet is buzzing with the story of Robert McCoy, the man behind the infamous &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217; video. Robert had three female friends when Lauren walked into the apartment and he slowly stood up to greet her. Many internet users analyzed his body language, figuring out that he was trying to seduce the women. The video went viral, and McCoy was soon harassed by people at home. Although the memedom has largely died down, he still gets approached by people who want to get to know him.<\/p>\n<p>The video went viral when Lauren, Robert&#8217;s long distance girlfriend, posted a video on TikTok of her surprise visit. Lauren thought the video was cute, but users started to question whether the video was genuine or if she was being manipulated by Robert. Some of them even deemed Lauren to be delusional about their relationship, and began accusing Robert of cheating on her. This made him a cult figure and he was forced to stop uploading the video to the platform.<\/p>\n<p>The story of Robert McCoy&#8217;s couch visit exploded over the internet, and the popularity of the Couch Guy video soared even faster. The video was posted on October 5th, and Google Trends recorded the peak of interest in the video two weeks later. As the media attention grew, the actor has become used to being recognized by strangers on the street. He has even been taken for selfies by a random person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lauren_Zarras_has_launched_a_line_of_Couch_Guy_t-shirts\"><\/span>Lauren Zarras has launched a line of &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217; t-shirts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The video has received millions of views, and Lauren Zarras, the actress behind the infamous &#8216;Couch Guy,&#8217; has taken the controversy further by creating a line of t-shirts featuring the character. The t-shirts, titled &#8216;Couch Guy,&#8217; are now available for purchase on the popular video sharing site. The video features Robbie, a couch potato, sitting with three girls, and became the internet&#8217;s most controversial relationship scandal. TikTok users were left steamed as the 20-second clip made headlines, with millions of viewers scrutinizing the time Robbie took to walk through the door and place his phone on the coffee table.<\/p>\n<p>The video, posted on Sept. 21 by Lauren Zarras, has spawned hundreds of theories, including whether or not the couple are romantically involved. However, the actress has not let the negative feedback affect her career. Despite the criticism, she is not backing down. Her response is reminiscent of the reaction she had before the video surfaced on the internet. Her response to the video has been equally funny and inspiring, and she&#8217;s even launched her own line of &#8216;Couch Guy&#8217; t-shirts on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>While this video has made Lauren Zarras famous, Robbie&#8217;s reactions to the t-shirt have been a bit more problematic. The video was not taken down, but instead re-uploaded in TikTok to raise awareness of the term. However, the video&#8217;s success has been more than offset by the criticism that the t-shirt depicts the image of a couch-guy.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"369\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRoNzUz_k-k\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Couch on TikTok?
