The ‘Wild TikTok Screenshots’ Twitter Account Is Making People Lose Faith In Humanity, And Here Are 35 Of Their Craziest Posts

TikTok is an absolute monstrosity. It has taken the internet by storm, as the app that was initially launched in 2016 currently has over 1 billion active users. It has been downloaded 3 billion times and saw a huge surge in users since the onset of the pandemic. In fact, TikTok reported a 180% increase in users between the ages of 15-25 during the first few months of lockdown in 2020. It was the most downloaded app on the planet in 2021 and is on track to become the most popular social media app in the world.

TikTok has been commonly associated with Gen Z, as it was originally very popular among the younger generation. Teenagers posting dance videos and creating viral trends were among the most popular content on the app for a while. And while it still is dominated by teenagers and young adults, it has grown to include a wide variety of demographics. Anything can be found on TikTok today, including extremely unhinged and bizarre videos. 

The Wild TikTok Screenshots Twitter account just started in February 2022, but it has already amassed nearly 150k followers. The page is famous for sharing hilarious screenshots of videos that may or may not have been intended to be funny, comments by snarky and clever viewers, and content that most of us would never imagine posting in our wildest dreams. But anyone who uses TikTok regularly is probably not surprised by these screenshots. If you’re an avid scroller through TikTok, you might be desensitized to the unhinged nature of the app, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy this list of hilarious screenshots.

It’s hard to pinpoint precisely what makes TikTok so chaotic, but I have a few theories. Perhaps it’s the anonymity, as while it is relatively easy to go viral, it is also easy to fly under the radar. There are over a billion users and likely billions of videos on the app, so it can be easy to feel like there are no risks when posting. Your video might not be seen by many people at all, and it probably won’t be seen by anyone you know.

TikTok also might have become so unhinged because of the large audience of young people on the app. Wisdom does not necessarily come with age, but it is a bit harder for a 14-year-old to grasp the idea that their videos will be out there forever than a 25-year-old who has spent hours deleting their Facebook statuses from middle school. It can also be hard to stand out in a sea of users. When millions of young people are trying to go viral, they might do whatever it takes to gain views. If that means posting the most ridiculous content possible, why not try it? Clearly, it’s working for many of them because they ended up here on this list!

Of course, most of the photos on this list include videos from users who are self-aware and intended to provoke audiences or make them laugh. But the best Wild TikTok Screenshot posts, in my opinion, are the ones where someone is not in on the joke or does not understand the situation. Unfortunately, there are sometimes kids on the app who are very young and might not be informed about current events or world affairs, but they can make for some hilarious comments.
