30 Wild, Funny, And Cringy TikTok Screenshots That Will Forever Exist Online (New Pics)
It’s no secret that the internet is brimming with all sorts of bizarre content; but even bearing that in mind, some posts can leave you speechless, especially when there’s no context provided.
Plenty of pictures with no context, ranging from bizarre, to shocking, to funny, and everything in between, are shared on the X (formerly Twitter) account called ‘Wild TikToks’. As you’ve probably assumed, the account is dedicated to another popular social media platform, TikTok, and the random—typically somewhat wild—videos people post there. If you’re curious to see what they are about, scroll down to find some ‘Wild TikToks’ on the list below to find out.
Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with an expert in social media, Part-time Faculty in Marketing at Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University, Nick Mattar, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about X and social media.

He probably had (just) enough wisdom to realise you were too witty for him. Brilliant answer.
RELATED:
Despite joining X (formerly Twitter) just a couple years ago in 2022, the ‘Wild TikToks’ account has already amassed 1.4 million followers, eager to browse snapshots from all sorts of TikTok videos.
The large number of followers the account has might not be surprising considering how many people are users of X, or TikTok, for that matter. As of April 2024, the former boasts more than 0.611 B active monthly users and TikTok has close to 1.6 B. (With more than 3 B active monthly users, Facebook is the leader among social media platforms.)
If the number of X or TikTok users got you wondering how many people were using social media in general, the answer is nearly every internet user there is. According to Statista’s 2024 data, there were roughly 5.44 billion active internet users and around 5.07 billion social media users.
“Social media is inherently an addictive activity. It provides instant gratification while all major platforms utilize incredible algorithms that show us exactly what we want to see, when we want to see it,” Nick Mattar told Bored Panda, pointing out what it is that draws us to it. “Additionally, content creators have become so well-versed in creating attention-grabbing material that their videos, tweets, and images are designed to capture your attention and keep you watching.”

Yesterday it was "helicopter" and the greek meaning and why we don't then pronounce it "helico-(silent p) -ter" ruined 2 minutes of my life

What if that someone is at the place you want to be because you are at the place they want to be?
Discussing the reasons why some people are interested in online content they have no context on or relation to—a snippet from a random person’s TikTok video, for instance—the social media expert suggested that they might find a way they relate to it.
“This is the perfect description of a meme or gif that goes viral and becomes part of internet culture. The beauty of memes and gifs—and now short video clips, too—is that anyone can apply any popular piece of content to their own personal situation as they see fit. If the content is understood to mean a universal feeling (like frustration, happiness, or another emotion), then it doesn't matter where it originated. Memes, gifs, and short videos have become a way for us to express ourselves to an online audience. We use these because it removes emotion and introduces humor into situations that may be otherwise uncomfortable,” Mattar explained.

Don't marvel at the 'average'. Marvel at the people who fall asleep so much faster that the average is brought down to 7 minutes. If it takes us half an hour (or whatever) and the average is 7, some folks out there are apparently falling asleep in 2.7 seconds. (Though TBH I'm not sure I believe this 7 minute average.)
While the reason for success of all sorts of content, such as memes, gifs and short videos, is their relatability, the secret formula to the success of X, according to Nick Mattar, has become its longevity and hyper-focused user base.
“While we used to believe Twitter was successful due to its unique platform and ‘micro-blogging’ functionality, the failure of Threads showed us that was not the case. Threads had much of the same features but fell flat after booming with 100 million users. But Twitter users had established a community that was a combination of real-world connections and people they only interacted with on the platform - a much different community than Threads, which imported your Instagram friends. The result and secret sauce: Twitter users have developed a community over nearly 20 years that cannot be replicated anywhere else.”

Well, if the point is to quickly crack your ankle and squeak a fart out, mission accomplished!
Home to ‘Wild TikToks’, X/Twitter was started in March of 2006. Since then, it has experienced highs and lows with numerous changes in features and management, one of the most prominent ones being Elon Musk taking over the company in 2022 and renaming it ‘X’.

So true it hurts... I had a friend one time genuinely give me a compliment, only for me to respond with a scowl and ask "Why did you say that??". I eventually said 'thanks' but with some skepticism.
If spending time on Twit… X is something you enjoy, you might like browsing these hilarious X posts depicting updates for earth, these surprisingly entertaining remarks from the Washington Department Of Natural Resources, or these renowned posts that ended up on the “Internet Hall Of Fame” X account. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; browse Bored Panda for more.

Story of my life. My sister runs a successful business and always asks me to help her with computer stuff. She gets so mad when I tell her to type her exact question into youtube or AI. WTF

Doesn’t matter what I’m going through if I can tell myself “ok in 4 hours I will be home and not doing this” can push through. It always works

Yess. I was so hooked on Tetris that I would be thinking up solutions while sleeping.

That sounds like the plot a romance novel. Not necessarily a good one, but one of ones that exists

Personally, I prefer pottering about, having a bit of a mooch, before taking a butchers at a few things.

For six months? What condition do you need a cast for six months straight for? Just honestly wondering.

A friend and her friend, visiting the US from England, were having lunch at an outside cafe. The parking control officer went by, with a stick like the one in the above picture, chalking tires. After observing this, her friend from England said "How progressive the US is, allowing blind people to drive..."

Relatable. The day after my father died I had to shop for an appropriate outfit. When I had on a nice dress, the salesperson complimented me. I broke down in tears, she was upset thinking she did something wrong and my husband ended up consoling two weeping women over a cup of tea.

A toxic friend of mine ended up accidentally helping me by cutting off my other toxic friend and then he ditched me. Things have been going uphill since then

No they would simply stop providing all the essential services and utilities people take for granted and society would completely break down in a few weeks without power, water, transport, food production or healthcare. We would be living in the middle ages but with none of the skills we need to live then.

That’s way too much sugar for a cookie. I’d be chugging water every few bites
