Yip, Yap and Yop

About

Yip, Yap and Yop are nicknames for TikTokers Bag and CJ, known on their account @bag_and_cj, as well as their unnamed friend known as Yop. They were dubbed Yip, Yap and Yop because of their reaction video stitches in which viewers thought that they were "yapping," a slang term that means to talk too much with little substance. Bag and CJ started going viral in 2023, leading to others on TikTok parodying them and their reaction style as well as repurposing their videos by captioning them. Many made fancam videos of Yop, satirizing him due to his one-off appearance.
