Though the Roblox game was introduced in October 2023, the trend started to circulate on the internet in February 2024. Now, many TikTokers are going viral for striking the viral Pose 28, which sees them cross their arms behind their waists and lean back with their legs shoulder-width apart.

During the Roblox Developers Conference this September, TikToker Lana Rae, also known as ‘Roblox Girl,’ went viral for asking the CEO of Roblox, David Baszucki, to strike his best Pose 28 – and he delivered, according to viewers.
