The formats fans made
The hype edit
After LASK, fans posted goal edits and "Frimpong the goat" clips. One post joked that he had more October goals and assists than Manchester United (TikTok).
The cameo joke
After Brentford the tone flipped. Clips like "Bro just walked a bit" (TikTok) play on how short his appearance was. These jokes are about the cameo, not about wishing him harm; the injury is real and Liverpool has not given a return date.
AI "slander" clips
Some creators made AI versions of match moments, tagging the AI app Viggle, such as a "LASK vs Liverpool" clip under #slander (TikTok).
