One person joked the other people in the video needed to get out of the way “so I can see him better.”

This isn’t the first time people on TikTok have talked about a petition to get O’Brien on the platform. A TikTok account with the username @dylannobrian regularly posts videos on the actor and has “PETITION FOR DYLAN OBRIEN TO GET TIKTOK” in its bio.
