The Shrek in the Sky filter is strange, hilarious, and utterly mystifying. It wastes absolutely no energy attempting to be anything other than its weirdest self, which is precisely why it’s taking off on the app.

If you’re hoping to add a hulking — but surprisingly slim — Shrek into your next TikTok creation dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Love Game,” here’s what you’ll need to do.

How to use the ‘Shrek in the Sky’ filter

Good news, Shrek fans. The Shrek in the Sky filter is no different from any of TikTok’s other filter offerings, which means it is exceedingly easy to incorporate into your own TikToks. The filter is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, but with a skin-tight twist. Using the filter will add a latex-clad, twerking Shrek into any TikTok creation you’re brave enough to share with the internet.

Ogre Boys — yes, that’s the official name for Shrek fans, there was a poll and everything — looking to add some sultry Shrek action into their next upload need to start by simply opening up the app, signing in, and typing “Shrek in the sky” into their search bars.

This should yield a number of hysterical offerings. Feel free to browse to your heart’s content, and to get a good feel for how the Shrek in the Sky filter is best utilized. There are a lot of options.

You can go the easy route and simply allow the filter to bleed some green-skinned sex appeal into your local skyline.
