50 Wild, Weird, And Cringy TikTok Moments That Will Forever Exist As Screenshots Online (New Pics)
If you step anonymously into the electrifying vortex of TikTok, where its algorithms still haven't figured you out and are throwing a wide variety of content at your screen, you instantly understand just how wacky, whimsical, and even concerning it is.
From gravity-defying dancers to social-norms-smashing couch philosophers, the rollercoaster ride through this virtual wonderland is simply unpredictable. Anything and everything is possible here.
However, don't worry if you're interested in the platform as an anthropological study but don't want to get your device dirty. You can still get an idea of what it looks like from the inside thanks to the Twitter account 'Wild TikToks'. It shares screenshots from the app that perfectly portray its chaotic nature.

This is all too common... Dogs are gross and eat underwear, tampons, diapers and baby wipes more often than you want to know! I've experienced this scenario once first hand, but it's always so uncomfortable going over those things with the client afterwards (for everyone involved).
One of the reasons why there's so much colorful content on TikTok is its sheer size. The app now has 150 million monthly active users in the United States alone, CEO Shou Chew confirmed. When you have this many people, some of them will naturally surprise you. It's a mathematical guarantee.
However, concerns over TikTok remain abundant. A growing number of lawmakers in the US and other countries are talking about its ties to China through its parent company, ByteDance.
Oh, boy! You missed the week when they made paper on arts & crafts.
My older sisters put me in a tractor tire and rolled me down a hill. To be fair, it was kind of fun.
As kids, my sister and I would play a game called the avalanche. We'd pile up all pillows, duvets, blankets etc on the edge of my bed and push it down, and fall with it, pretending we were in an avalanche. One time while doing that, I pushed my sister and she hit the metal note stand (we both went to a music school as kids). She ended up with a broken arm. It was shortly before her first communion, too
ooh were doing this now? im a twin so idk if it counts but once when my and my sister where riding our bikes (we where like 7 at the time i should mention) and so my sister saw a truck and was like, "it would be a good idea to try and race it" it wasnt. so we raced it, [thank god we where on the sidewalk and not the road] but anyways to get to the point we crashed into each other and she rolled her bike over my head after i fell down [might not be here to this day if it wasnt for my trusty frozen helmet] and now theres a giant mark on my old helmet bcz a 7 year old ran over it with a bike, we both got hurt, i think we both scraped our hands and knees, luckily our parents where like 20 feet behind us tho, lol good times
my (at the time) eighteen year old brother roundhouse kicked me in the face when we were waiting for my mom outside of her car. it's cuz i was in karate and he wanted to show how he was better lol
My brother decided to play chicken with me by just yelling chicken and running at me. His shoulder hit my face and broke my glasses. He did this right in front of my mum and stepdad.
Load More Replies...me and my sister were little, i was 5 and she was seven. our room wasn't very big so we had a bunk bed and about 5 ft away from it there was a dresser parallel to it, that was about 2 1/2 ft tall. we had tucked a blanket under the top bunk mattress and closed the other ends into the top drawers. we were sliding our barbies down it like a slide, and then suddenly my sister had a genius idea. she said "hey, you're small. try sliding down." We thought it would be cool, and she promised to hold the blanket on top of the bed. long story short, she let go, I smashed my collarbone into the top of the dresser, and bruised it. I was so close to shattering my collar bone. i got so lucky. sister love ❤
If I caught my kids doing this, I would question my choice to not use a condom... also they make safety sensors for this type of stuff.
TikTok acknowledged to CNN that federal officials are demanding the app’s Chinese owners sell their stake in the social media platform, or risk facing a US ban on the app. (In 2020, when the Trump administration made a similar threat, TikTok said it had 100 million US users.)
“Now, this comes at a pivotal moment for us,” Chew said. “Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok, now this could take TikTok away from all 150 million of you.”
In March, Chew faced four-and-a-half hours of questioning at a US congressional hearing. From both Democrats and Republicans, there was no let-up. A spokesperson for TikTok said afterward the politicians were "grandstanding". But between the sometimes frustratingly verbose questioning, there were a few takeaways.
For example, there was criticism of TikTok from Republicans and Democrats, and the level of distrust and skepticism from all sides was stark. "Welcome to the most bipartisan committee in Congress," said Republican congressman Buddy Carter.
It was really interesting to see so many politicians - who agree on practically nothing - agreeing wholeheartedly that TikTok was a security threat. But the company later complained that not enough time had been spent focusing on the platform's measures to keep data safe.
Also, ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) engineers in China have access to some US data. Mr. Chew kept talking about a "Project Texas", a proposal that will see it store all data in the US under the watch of American firm Oracle.
However, Project Texas is not fully operational. And Mr. Chew confirmed that engineers at ByteDance do have access to data. "We rely on global interoperability, Chinese engineers have access to data," he said.
It was an admission that politicians kept coming back to. Their point was that if data can be accessed by engineers in China, it's hard to see how the Chinese government couldn't also access it.
Enjoy the moment... there's always time for dismantling governments.
Mr. Chew's arguably least successful defense was his attempt to distance TikTok from ByteDance.
By any definition, the Chinese company owns TikTok. (Mr. Chew himself used to be ByteDance's chief financial officer.) When initially asked, he didn't want to say whether he owned shares in ByteDance. Pressed by lawmakers, he eventually confirmed that did, but tried to downplay the connection.
China's government says it would oppose any US plan to force ByteDance to sell TikTok, something authorities are reportedly considering.
What's so masculine about that? Deranged comes in all shapes honey
At one point in the hearing, Mr. Chew was asked by congresswoman Nanette Barragán, a Democrat, whether or not his own children used TikTok.
He said they didn't because they live in Singapore and in that country, the app for children younger than 13 is not available. However, he did add that the children's version of the app is available in the US, and he would let his children use it if they were in America.
or like your little brother believes every yt video or short
Mr. Chew generally pulled his punches. On the whole, he didn't fight back at Congress but there were moments where he did push back, and effectively so.
When quizzed on TikTok's use of user data, he said: "With all due respect, American companies don't have a great track record with data … Just look at Facebook and Cambridge Analytica," which, you have to admit, was a reasonable point to make.
lol my mom (who got divorced before my sister and i were born) would tell my bi sister that being gay is a sin and once she shot back with "well getting divorced is a sin too"
At the moment, it doesn't look like TikTok is going anywhere. Whatever your thoughts on the app, you can still securely sneak a peek at its content through Bored Panda's earlier publications on ‘Wild TikTok Screenshots’ here, here, and here.
This has been in my thoughts. Not in such a way but would I like to have a guy/girl near me constantly or in my house. That would get really uncomfortable
I fear to think what these signs are... "You like both books and cars" or something unhinged like that.
Good opportunity to show you've learned from your mistakes and are now a mature person
The literal source of existential angst. The human condition.
Can we, as a human race, decide to do away with lying? Brothers. Sisters. Let's make this happen. Please?
But that would lead to animal testing, and the animals always get nervous and randomly tick boxes that's why I'm against animal testing in research.
Why not have a little party with some cupcakes and a song? All a 4 year old (and really anyone else) needs is to be told they are special.
have you ever got to the front of a traffic jam, and there was nothing there. It was called the phantom jam. basically, someone pulls out in front of another person, so they brake. then the person behind them brakes. and it continues, interestingly at 20 miles per hour, down the motorway.

Some of us are too old for "TikTok humour". I once saw a video of a guy mocking his mother based on a conversation they had. How is that funny to anyone who doesn't know her?
Load More Replies...it’s called joking, and your comments are insanely rude
