Here are some of the best videos that came from it:

Pokemon Master George

Step aside Ash Ketchum — George is here.

He has a violent Pokeball throwing technique and is gaining a reputation for awkward stumbles.

But he's serious. He wants to be the very best, like no one ever was.

We all went a bit crazy at home, and many of us — including Luke and Jasmin — embraced a high-intensity home workout.

"Lift those thighs, Sanitise!" commands Jasmin as Luke enthusiastically kicks his legs up. And who can forget, "Do the Block slide, stay inside."

The Block stars have 'Faith'

If you're looking for a rendition of 'Faith' by George Michael than Harry has you covered. And that isn't the only music video.

Apologies for this one, it will stay in your head for an eternity. If you weren't aware of the viral TikTok challenge, it involves a girl and a guy wearing outfits before flipping the switch, and seeing the lights go out. When they're back on they'll swap outfits.

In this case you get to see George rocking an undersized Block shirt.

Yes, I have subjected you to this so you too may suffer with never being able to remove it from your mind.

A side of George we really never thought we would see on the show.  Nine
