AN AYRSHIRE business has gone TikTok viral after creating a hilarious video based on a current trend.
The video from Ayrshire Blinds, entitled "Letting the Gen Z colleague write the marketing script", has been viewed more than 1.3 million times on the platform since it was uploaded a few days ago.
The trend involves older members of businesses or groups narrating in a "Gen Z" way, with slang mostly used by the younger generation.
In the Ayrshire Blinds clip, managing director Adam Moonie uses phrases including "these wooden shutters are giving me life" and "are you fed up with your fugly blinds".

The business, based in Irvine, has been praised for their hilarious video, earning new fans from across the world.
One person said: "I'm in the US but I feel it might be worth the shipping cost because clearly these are superior products."
Another stated: "Don't live anywhere near this place. Also don't need blinds. However I want to buy blinds from here."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
