Capitals forward Brendan Leipsic is the latest famous figure to do the ‘flip the switch’ TikTok challenge and it’s wonderful.
Leipsic, eating a box of Ritz crackers upside down, rocks a red zip hoodie and a grey beanie while his girlfriend, Amalia Williamson, rocks a white spaghetti strap shirt and shorts.
The lights go out and the two switch costumes.
Wow. This is amazing.

The “flip the switch” challenge is set to Drake’s “Nonstop.” The lyrics are, “Look, I just flipped the switch (flipped, flipped) / I don’t know nobody else that’s doin’ this.”
According to Marie Clare, this is the gist of the challenge.
In the meme, generally speaking, the setup is thus: Two people stand in front of a mirror, one in the foreground, one in the background, and the person in the back dances and moves around while the person in front holds the phone. Then the lights go out, and when they come back on, the people have reversed and are wearing the other’s outfit. The person in the back is now dancing (they flipped it—get it? You get it.)
Other famous “flip the switch” TikToks include Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez.
