TikTok is an outlier in the social media landscape in many ways, and one of those is how it gets remembered. Most of us with terminally internet-poisoned brains can easily recall our all-time favorite tweets, for example, or the greatest Vines. When it comes to the best singular TikToks, though, it's a lot more difficult to put a finger on it.
There could be many reasons for this: maybe the fact that successful TikTokers are often valued as whole personalities as opposed to separate moments, or that the clock app is designed to turn every interesting and novel thing it shows us into one homogenous mass.
Whatever it is, it doesn't stop the average TikTok from being irresistibly screenshottable. That's just as well, because it allows for the existence of this list. From the hilarious, to the cringe, to the genuinely concerning, it's all happening in the wild world of TikTokers.
