A short clip of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, used in TikTok edits and memes to mock strict rules, school moments and dull routines.

This short clip captures the instantly recognisable chorus hook from Another Brick in the Wall, with its steady beat, defiant group vocal and simple, chant-like melody. It sounds bold and a little rebellious, the kind of line that lands immediately even if the listener only hears a few seconds. In a video it creates a feeling of pushing back against rules, boredom or authority, turning an ordinary school, work or family moment into a small act of protest. The familiar rhythm makes the joke clear at once, while the rock backing gives the edit energy and attitude without needing any explanation.

Another Brick in the Wall is best known as Pink Floyd's 1979 hit from the concept album The Wall, built around a children's choir singing against rigid schooling. Its chorus became a cultural shorthand for resistance to authority, and decades later short clips of it found a second life on TikTok, where creators reuse the hook to punctuate school, work and family jokes. Because the melody is recognised within seconds, it still works as a quick, ironic punchline rather than a full music excerpt.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the clip right as a rule or strict instruction appears on screen, then cut to the reaction that follows. Pair it with a deadpan stare or slow walk-away, and avoid loud dialogue over the chorus because the chant itself carries the joke.

✦ AI
  • Creators use it for boring school lessons and strict teachers.
  • Editors add it to office rules and dull workplace routines.
  • Memes pair it with parents setting strict household rules.
  • TikTokers use it when rebelling against boring daily chores.
