Odds are that if you haven't been living under a rock, you know about the existence of TikTok, dear Pandas. It’s one of the biggest social networks worldwide, having reported a whopping 1 billion users worldwide in September 2021. And, in our experience, most people either love the app to bits or loathe it with a deep burning fury.
Whatever the case might be, let’s be honest—TikTok has some truly hilarious and bizarre content, whether intentional or otherwise. Today, we’ll be diving deep into the uncharted waters of TikTok weirdness, as featured on the ‘TikTok screenshots’ Twitter page. The account does exactly what it says on the tin: it posts screenshots of funny but incredibly peculiar things seen on TikTok. Like us, you’ll probably be begging for extra context!
As you’re scrolling down into the Land of Total TikTok Weirdness, don’t forget to upvote the screenshots that you enjoyed the most. Oh, and we’d love to hear your opinion on the app, so tell us why you like it or hate it in the comments.
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about TikTok's culture, why it's so addictive, and what makes it unique as a platform, so we reached out to fitness coach and TikTok content creator Anna Armagno Toussaint, aka @princessannareads. Read on to see what she said.

The ‘TikTok screenshots’ page over on Twitter has 93.7k followers, and has been showing the internet the weird side of viral videos and the comments beneath them since December 2021.
Oh, you’re bound to find bizarreness everywhere you look, on every social media network, for sure. However, TikTok has a very specific type of humor that you won’t find replicated elsewhere. In short, the humor’s pretty unique. And that’s what ‘TikTok screenshots’ is trying to show us while amusing and confusing us in the process.
TikTok content creator Anna told us what she thinks separates TikTok from other social networks. "I think the fyp ['For You' page] that learns your preferences is great," she said. "TikTok did videos first, which gives it the advantage in that area," Anna pointed out the advantages the platform has over other sites and apps.

According to Anna, TikTok is addictive because the content fits people's short attention spans. The platform provides videos that give people a hit of dopamine when they come across content that they can relate to and things that make them smile.
TikToker Anna explained that describing the platform's culture depends a lot on which 'side' of the app you happen to be on.

And what about you planned an outfit around the bottom part? A colorful lace skirt or a pair of printed pants or something like that. To balance them out the top part is super plain: a white shirt or a simple t-shirt. And then you spend the evening sitting down so all people are seeing is you wearing a shirt looking like a waiter or a t-shirt looking like you just woke up. Mmm lovely.
Kross T. 3 years ago
Pants that are probably a bit tight, or maybe ride up a bit too much when you sit, or have some weird folds or bulges when you sit. In other words, they look great on you when you're standing, but not so much when you're sitting.

Well, if you're not funny you can still post things (memes, short videos, ...) on the Internet.
"Political TikTok has a lot of animosity. BookTok (my personal favorite) goes for inspiring writers and encouraging people to share your favorite reads and is much more welcoming. Music creators who are incredibly creative can share their lyrics, and dancers have creative choreography opportunities," she said that there's a bit of everything for everyone. And pretty much everyone's able to find a niche that suits them depending on their interests and temperament.
"I think TikTok is an easier place to go viral, since people are watching many videos by different creators all the time. It takes work to stay viral, though, and gain the popularity some big creators have," she said.

TikTok essentially lowers the barrier to entry if you want to start creating and posting video content online. What this means is that it’s technically easier than ever to start sharing your thoughts, comments, memes, and imaginative videos with the world. At the same time, it means you’re in constant competition with a ton of other creators (though it’s perfectly fine if you don’t care about views and going viral, too).
Social media expert Ariane Sherine recently told Bored Panda that people need love, approval, and attention. That’s why they try to get it anywhere that they can. Including social networks.

Social media expert Ariane drew attention to the fact that there are more content creators now than ever. However, at the same time, this doesn’t mean that everyone’s putting out stellar content.
"If you’re an exceptional creator you’ll still stand out. Of course, the more followers you have, the more chance there is that people are going to see, like, and share your content, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to break through,” she said that going viral is a mix of having enough exposure and support, as well as crafting quality content.

The picture on the top right is the original video. The top left is a response to the original (the format for is called "duet" because the reaction video plays on a split screen at the same time as the original), and the bottom frame is a response to the top left. I get that they seem out of order, but that's because they aren't meant to be viewed as a static screenshot. Lots of things seem stupid when you don't understand the context.

"To stand out online, what you post has to be carefully crafted. Quality content stands out online. Think it through carefully, ask yourself, 'Is what I’m posting memorable, inspirational, informative, funny, will it make people think, or feel good, or start a conversation?' If it doesn’t meet any of those benchmarks, it’s probably not going to stand out and go viral. There’s a lot of junk out there, it takes effort to rise above it.”

There is actually a lot of really wonderful content on TikTok, but it takes more than scrolling for two minutes to find it. The algorithm will figure out what to suggest based on how you interact with the videos. And just like pretty much everything in life, viewing things with no context makes them seem confusing and irrelevant. You can't get the intended joke/message of a video by looking at a screenshot of it.
