Wait, who even is Dom Toretto??

Dom Toretto is the big daddy and resident bad boy amongst the streets of the Fast & Furious franchise. He’s played by Vin Diesel and leads a gang of street racers.

But don’t let Dom’s hard shell fool you because all he really wants to do is take his family out for a nice meal. But people on TikTok have turned his soft side into a internet joke and from this the Dom Toretto family meme was born.

TikTok users start filming a skit where they attempt to do something like making a meme out of auditioning for America’s Got Talent. One user then included a picture of Simon Cowell with the caption: “What a horrible performance. Why tf would you even come here?” to which they respond “I mean it’s one million dollars, it would help my family a lot.” And then next thing we see is Dom Toretto’s head on top of Simon’s shoulders saying “Family is everything”. Like so:

You can’t convince me this isn’t peak British humour. One TikTok user took the iconic girl from Educating Yorkshire who said the long “I’m sorry to hear that your grandma passed away” speech.

Apparently if you stare into your bathroom mirror, say family and spin three times, Dom Toretto will appear. Have fun but remember: FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.
