About

Twitter Video Combinations are a Twitter feature that allows uploading up to four separate videos in one tweet that was added in October 2022. Following the addition of the feature, posts in which four videos were arranged in a matching order, similar to Twitter Image Combination Memes, were popularized on the app, as well as other memes combining videos for humorous effect.

Origin

On October 4th, 2022, the social media website Twitter added a feature that allowed users to post up to four videos in a single tweet in contrast to the previous limit of one video. Although only one video could be played at the same time, this enabled users to combine videos in a humorous fashion, similar to the Twitter Image Combination Memes (also known as Please Work). For example, on that day, Twitter^[1] user @BillGarf posted a Kirby meme splitting a single video of Kirby sucking in food into four. The post gained over 60 retweets and 1,100 likes in two days (shown below).

On October 5th, 2022, the trend achieved a viral presence on Twitter as users shared videos that humorously complemented each other, either through arrangement or content.
