After the girlfriend in this video asked her partner to pause mid-workout to announce that he wasn't nice, he couldn't help but laugh. 

"I haven't seen you today. I literally have seen you, like, for three hours today," he said through giggles. 

"Yeah, but you could have been nicer!" his girlfriend responded. 

"I've hardly seen you!" he exclaimed as he put his headphones back on to resume his exercise. 

The concept of this hysterical movement is simple: utter either the phrase "You could have been nicer to me" or "I feel like you could have been nicer to me today" to your significant other and film their reaction. While some partners end up profusely apologizing, others look shocked that they are being called out on their behavior.

Many are putting #NicerToMe on their videos, and looking them up under the hashtag on the app will definitely help make your day brighter. The hashtag has more than 14.5 million views. Others have simply been tagging the video as #NewTrend.

After thinking that he made his wife upset, the husband in this challenge video put down what he was doing to give her a hug. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you at all," he said. 

Thankfully, many of the top videos for this trend are positive in nature. One particularly popular edition of the prank challenge was this couple, who was working out together when the girlfriend announced that her boyfriend was off that day.

The husband in this video had a tender reaction when his wife pulled the prank on him.

"I'm so sorry," he said with a genuine look of shock on his face. 

While some significant others think they did nothing wrong, others have reacted with some shame, because they know that there is some validity to what their partners are saying. 

The couple in this video was watching an episode of This Is Us when the wife paused the TV. Any husband who compares himself to Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) will surely fall short, and that's exactly what happened.

"I just feel like you could have been nicer to me today," the wife said. 

"Yeah! I completely agree. Jack's an awesome husband and I'm a piece of s--t. That's half the reason I'm crying over here," her husband explained. "I came home, I was super mean, I forced you into the car, drove like a maniac to the gym, kicked you out of the car — are you filming this?" 

The savage husband in this video had a simple response when his wife asked him to be kinder after a bad day. 

"Well, there's always tomorrow," he said. 

The wildly smart boyfriend in this video offered to get his girlfriend food after she accused him of not being nice that day. 

"You want some food or something?" he asked. 

Take notes. 

Not every spouse or partner had a good reaction to being told that they weren't acting well. Several users took being the victim of the prank as an opportunity to air their grievances. 

The wife in this video had a list ready of things that her husband had been doing wrong, and she was not happy to be criticized. 

"I feel like you could have done 80 more things today than you did. I feel like I woke up and I cleaned our room, I did our bed, and I cleaned the sheets. I did the laundry. I put the clothes away. I come in the kitchen. Nothing's done, so I do everything. Then I make you breakfast and i get the baby ready. Then I get myself ready. What do you do, Michael? You just tell me I could've been nicer. That seems pretty nice to me. And you thought I was pretty nice last night. Super nice!"

The husband in this video was so unconvinced that he had done anything wrong that he walked to their bathroom and threw a roll of toilet paper at her. Clearly, he thinks she's full of s--t.
