The 'I Understood The Assignment' TikTok Audio Explained

A social media trend has reached peak popularity whenever brands start participating in it; by the time junior creatives and social media interns finish pitching and explaining a trend for approval, it's probably already been seen on every platform. So, with that in mind, it should be easy to backtrack the timeline of a trend to learn more about it when a brand joins in on the fun. One glaring exception is the Duolingo Owl — that's one up-to-date bird.

McDonalds' "I understood the assignment" era on Twitter began in the second half of 2021. So did  Starbucks '. With a calculation based on conjecture, the trend can be traced back to the beginning of 2021. We looked to Know Your Meme for confirmation, and it turns out we were right. This is what high school teachers meant when they said that we'd use math after graduating.

This particular phrase has garnered extreme attention across all social media platforms. On TikTok , videos submitted under the "I understood the assignment" hashtag have received more than 600 million views; an excess of 30,000 posts wear it on Instagram . But what does it mean? And why is there an entire song dedicated to it? Read on to learn more.

The 'I understood the assignment' trend has been used by celebrities

How was the "I understood the assignment" trend created? In March 2021, a Twitter user @thering26 posted stills of Uma Thurman in numerous acting roles. "Uma Thurman will always understand the assignment," the accompanying text read. Soon, the phrase and meme format spread across Twitter like wildfire; it is used to describe someone who knows how to get the job done (via Know Your Meme ). The meme format is particularly popular for talking about actors who can pull off very different roles with top-notch acting.

A few months later, artist Tay Money put a new spin on the trend. She released a song that claimed she understood " The Assignment ." The artist herself used a part of the song that said "I understood the assignment" on TikTok. This led to a trend of people posting accomplishments and stories that proved that they knew what was expected of them and went above and beyond (via Know Your Meme ). 

Even celebrities hopped on the trend. Taylor Swift used it to promote "All Too Well" (via YouTube ) and basically immortalized the phrase. There are currently around 250 million views on the "the assignment" hashtag on TikTok . It also led to the creation of another relatable sound that remixes Tay Money's song with Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde" saying, " Actually, I wasn't aware that we had an assignment ." And that's how one meme took over the internet.

TikTok explores what it truly means to ‘understand the assignment’

Fri, October 01, 2021 at 4:27:33 PM EDT

You’ve probably seen the phrase “understood the assignment” used to death on social media. Here’s why everyone is saying it. 

The slang term is a popular way to praise someone who is going above and beyond to do a good job. When Rihanna  slays her outfit at the  Met Gala  every year, you might say she  understood the assignment.  It’s pretty much like giving someone an “A+” or stamping something with your seal of approval. 

What does “understood the assignment” mean? 

According to  Urban Dictionary , “understood the assignment” means, “a phrase used when someone is giving it 110% Whether it’s what they’re doing, what they’re wearing, someone who is really on top of their s***.” 

However, on Twitter , the phrase might sometimes refer to a specific meme. 

What is the Twitter “understood the assignment” meme? 

In the Twitter trend, users pay tribute to their favorite actors and actresses who’ve been able to pull off a slew of eclectic roles. 

Now if we want to talk about someone who understands the assignment… pic.twitter.com/TpZyeBPHGj — Blk Girl Culture (@blkgirlculture) April 6, 2021

Another  account  gave big props to Daniel Kaluuya who has been  known to  swap his British accent for an American one to appear in horror films, sci-fi movies and biopics.

But of course,  E! News  knows no one quite understands the assignment like Oscar winner Meryl Streep who has pretty much  played  everyone and everything. 

What is the “understood the assignment” meme on TikTok ? 

TikTok tends to go along with Urban Dictionary’s definition, rather than focusing on celebrities. Most of the videos in the trend use the song “The Assignment” by Tay Money. 

The lyrics  are : 

Damn Tay, you killed this

I understood the assignment (Duh)

Uh-huh, uh-huh (Rich)

I understood the assignment

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh (Duh)

I understood the assignment (B**** I’m d-)

B****, I understood the assignment (Duh)

Courts move to limit the practice of 'judge shopping'

Ayesha Rascoe

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe talks to Ian Milihiser, Senior Correspondent at Vox, about new federal judiciary rules limiting the practice of "judge shopping."

AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is still reverberating even now, nearly two years later. There's all the controversy over in vitro fertilization, of course - also, questions over mifepristone, the drug used in medication abortions and, stemming from that, a change to the legal process. It's about what's called judge shopping. And Ian Millhiser joins us now to explain. He's a senior correspondent at Vox covering the Supreme Court. Thank you for joining us.

IAN MILLHISER: It's good to be here. Thank you so much.

RASCOE: OK, so explain the connection between mifepristone and this term judge shopping.

MILLHISER: Sure. So the judge who heard the mifepristone case originally and tried to ban the drug is a judge named Matthew Kacsmaryk. And Kacsmaryk - he was an anti-abortion litigator before he became a judge. He is very, very closely tied to the religious right. And the reason why he was the judge in this case is because he is the only federal judge in Amarillo, Texas. And the way that the judicial assignment rules are set up in Texas's federal courts - that means if you filed a case in Amarillo, you're guaranteed to get Matthew Kacsmaryk as your judge. And so these anti-abortion plaintiffs, they wanted to ban this drug. They went to Kacsmaryk. And now this case that's going to be heard by the Supreme Court later this month - you know, it's become a whole thing because they were able to handpick this judge who was already on their side.

RASCOE: And so when it comes to judge shopping, like, how do cases get assigned to federal judges? This has happened in other instances.

MILLHISER: So it has always been the case that lawyers will try to manipulate which judge hears their case as much as possible. What is different about this mifepristone case, and a lot of cases, is the fact that the federal judiciary is divided into 90-something different districts, and then in most of those districts, depending on the size of the court, when you file a lawsuit, it's just randomly assigned to any one of those judges. In some courts, including most of Texas's federal courts, they subdivide the districts into what are called divisions. And if you file in a particular division, you are guaranteed to get a judge from that division. Right-wing litigants have taken advantage of this by filing cases in Amarillo, because they know they'll get Matthew Kacsmaryk, and he is a very, very right-wing judge. Liberals have taken advantage of this as well. I don't know if there's any districts where, like, there's just one judge who's a liberal judge. But, like, the Northern District of California, for example, is a district with a lot of judges, but most of them are liberals, so liberals like to file cases there because they're likely to get a judge they want.

RASCOE: Are there some famous examples of this happening outside of the mifepristone case?

MILLHISER: I mean, there are a number of famous examples of this happening. Many of them involve Matthew Kacsmaryk. And then there's some other cases - like, there's a judge named Drew Tipton in South Texas who's known for having very right-wing views on immigration, and so a lot of immigration cases wind up in his courtroom. Lawyers have done this for a long time. Again, what is new is that they're taking advantage of these single-judge divisions where they can not just have one of a choice of judges, but, like, one guaranteed judge.

RASCOE: And so there's been a response to this very specific judge shopping, right?

MILLHISER: So the news here is that the Judicial Conference of the United States, which is an internal body within the federal judiciary that sets policy for all of the courts - they issued a new rule. What the new rule says is that if you file a case and you are asking to block either a federal policy or a state policy, then your case will be randomly assigned to a judge within the broader geographic district. And that's not going to eliminate people shopping around for the judges that they think are going to win. But what is not going to be allowed anymore under these rules is you're no longer going to be allowed to say, I want this one judge. This guy right here, he's going to be my judge.

RASCOE: That's Ian Millhiser of Vox. Thank you so much for joining us.

MILLHISER: Thank you.
