  1. The meme pairs Jet2 airline’s advertising jingle with chaotic vacation moments. The meme comes from an advertisement for Jet2 , a British airline and package holiday provider. The advertisement uses the song “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne, with the narration, “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday,” spoken over it. On TikTok, this sound is used with videos of not-so-nice vacation memories—these could be chaotic, silly, or even dangerous situations that people encountered on their travels. Basically, the “Jet2 Holiday” videos juxtapose the catchy, upbeat, and positive advert and the funny vacation fail videos to create an amusing and sarcastic meme. Here are some examples: [1]
    • TikTok user @alfred_m08 used the sound over a video of a camel attacking a person (implying that the person was on vacation at the time).
    • TikTok user @fer_aguado used the sound over a video where they realized they’d arrived at the airport for an international flight with a LEGO passport…not a real one.
    • TikTok user @freya..binfieldd used the sound over a video of a child poking their head through the gap between seats on an airplane.
