If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen the “Bugatti Challenge”—that viral trend where people pretend to drive a luxury car while someone off-camera pulls them across the floor to the beat of Ace Hood’s 2013 hit, “Bugatti.” But you’ve never seen it quite like this: Shane and Hannah Burcaw, the beloved interabled couple behind the Squirmy and Grubs channel, just took the challenge to a whole new level with their uniquely creative—and hilarious—wheelchair twist.
The couple’s take on the trend didn’t just rack up millions of views; it also sparked a wave of curiosity and admiration from fans around the world. Now, they’re pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly how they made it happen, proving once again that love, laughter, and a little ingenuity can turn any challenge into a viral moment.
Putting Their Own Spin on a Viral Trend
Shane and Hannah Burcaw are no strangers to the spotlight. With more than 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and a million-plus fans across social media, the couple has built a loyal following by sharing their daily lives, relationship adventures, and honest conversations about disability and love. But even for them, the “Bugatti Challenge” was a chance to show off their playful side—and maybe surprise a few people along the way.
In their now-viral TikTok, Hannah sits on the floor, grinning as she pretends to steer an imaginary sports car. The camera pulls back just as she’s dragged out of frame, perfectly timed to the song’s famous line: “I woke up in a new Bugatti.” The twist? Instead of being pulled by another person, Hannah’s ride is powered by Shane’s 400-pound wheelchair—though Shane himself is nowhere to be seen in the clip.
Overlaid on the video, Hannah teases, “Bugatti trend with my husband’s 400lb wheelchair?🙂↕️” Fans couldn’t get enough, and the comments section quickly filled with questions: How did they do it? Was Shane really the one pulling Hannah? And what was their secret?
Behind the Scenes: The Real Story
Never ones to leave their fans hanging, Shane and Hannah posted a follow-up video to answer everyone’s burning questions. Standing together in their living room, they broke down the behind-the-scenes magic—and had a little fun with the rumors, too.
“Wait, who pulled you tho?” one commenter asked. Hannah smiled and replied, “So we just did the Bugatti trend and some people are thinking that Shane was not the one who pulled me in that clip.”
Shane chimed in, “Which, I mean, maybe I shouldn’t have been the one to pull her.” The couple exchanged a laugh. “Should we have faked it?” Hannah joked. “Yeah… But did we? No. Do you want to know what we did?”
The secret, it turns out, was a combination of resourcefulness and classic pet-parent improvisation. “Let me just grab our dog’s leash really fast,” Hannah said, pulling out the very leash that made the challenge possible.
“We tried it with a smaller rope first but that didn’t work,” Shane explained. So, they upgraded to the dog leash, attached it to Shane’s wheelchair, and wrapped it around Hannah’s foot. To protect her from their “very splintery” floor, as Shane put it, Hannah sat on a towel before Shane drove away, pulling her across the room as the music blared and the couple burst into laughter.
“Unlike a Bugatti, I can’t go zero to 60 in under a second,” Shane joked. But what they lacked in speed, they more than made up for in heart—and humor.
Fans Celebrate the Couple’s Authenticity
The Burcaws’ inventive take on the Bugatti Challenge quickly became more than just another viral video. For many fans, it was a reminder of why they fell in love with Squirmy and Grubs in the first place: the couple’s willingness to be real, to laugh at themselves, and to let everyone in on the fun.
Comments poured in from fans who appreciated not just the creativity, but the transparency. “You two are the best! Thanks for always showing us the real behind-the-scenes,” wrote one follower. Another added, “I love how you guys always keep it honest and hilarious. Relationship goals!”
Beyond the Challenge: A Story of Love and Acceptance
While the Bugatti Challenge brought a smile to millions, it’s just one small chapter in Shane and Hannah’s ongoing story—a story that’s inspired countless people to think differently about disability, relationships, and what it means to love someone for who they truly are.
In a recent Instagram post, Shane shared a series of rare photos of himself outside his wheelchair, reflecting on his journey toward self-acceptance. “For many years, I was so ashamed of my disabled physique that I pretty much flat out refused to ever let anyone see me outside of the obscuring comfort of my wheelchair,” he wrote. “In the last 10 years or so, though, I’ve grown to love my body. The shift in my attitude can largely be attributed to Hannah’s unconditional and complete love for me exactly as I am, as well as my own growth in my disability identity journey.”
The post, which featured photos of Shane swimming, lounging on the grass, and relaxing with Hannah and their dog, resonated deeply with fans. It’s just another example of how the couple uses their platform to break down stereotypes and encourage others to embrace their own stories.
Sharing Their Journey With the World
Shane and Hannah’s openness extends far beyond social media. Earlier this year, they spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about their latest book, Interabled: True Stories about Love and Disability from Squirmy and Grubs and Other Interabled Couples. Their goal? To challenge misconceptions and show that relationships like theirs are not rare or unusual—they’re simply part of the rich tapestry of human experience.
“Something that we realized from running the channel is that there were a ton of misconceptions out there about disability and dating, disability and relationships, about our relationship, but also more widely in society,” Shane told PEOPLE. “We’re hoping that when [readers] see a book full of dozens of couples that deal with disabilities, they begin thinking differently about that.”
The Takeaway: Love, Laughter, and a Little Creativity
At the end of the day, the Burcaws’ viral Bugatti Challenge is more than just a funny video—it’s a testament to the power of love, creativity, and authenticity. Whether they’re pulling off social media stunts, sharing personal milestones, or tackling tough topics in their book, Shane and Hannah prove that life is best lived with a sense of humor and an open heart.
So the next time you see a viral challenge online, remember: with a little imagination (and maybe a dog leash or two), anything is possible.
