Funny TikTok content is taking the world by storm. TikTok is the hottest social media channel right now – particularly among younger audiences. Built on a foundation of fun, inclusive, and fast-paced videos, TikTok is constantly churning out new trends for followers to enjoy.

For brands and influencers, this also means it’s a great place to find a little creative inspiration. If you want to find a way to connect with your followers, what could be better than making them laugh? Humor is one of the best ways to make your TikTok content go viral, and it’s also a good way to build an emotional relationship with your community and receive greater engagement on your TikTok profile.

So, how do you make sure you’re tickling your audience’s funny bone? The best way to get started is by checking out what’s trending.

Here’s your introduction to the funniest TikTok videos you should be replicating.

1. I’m Super Busy

The “I’m Busy” challenge is a big hit on TikTok right now. Singer Justine Skye was one of the first TikTok superstars to bring this concept to the masses. Justine FaceTimes people like Jamie Foxx and Kendall Jenner, and when they answer, she responds with, “I’m super busy, can I call you back?”

Obviously, the act of calling someone and then asking to call them back because you’re too busy prompts some interesting responses. However, what makes this funny TikTok trend so successful is it’s a great chance to show off your connections with other major celebrities and influencers.

The Takeaway: Incorporate popular TikTok influencers and big names into your content to instantly get more views. Partnering with big names will give you an extra shot at going viral, because these people already have a major following.

2. Pug Eating A Chicken Nugget

If there are two things that almost always work on TikTok, it’s humor and cute animals. This funny TikTok video has the perfect blend of both! The video involves a TikTok user (@Katherinarebosa) showing her dog how to take a tiny bit of a chicken nugget. When the dog copies, the result is adorable and hilarious.

The Takeaway: Try to incorporate animals into your TikTok videos whenever you can. People love adorable critters, which is why many of the biggest trends and challenges on TikTok involve animals. Adding animals to your content will make it more likely for people to follow your content. Following a trend (like this TikTok influencer did with the “small bite” strategy), is also a great way to attract eyes to your content.

3. TikTok Duet Chains

The TikTok Duet is probably one of the most popular features of TikTok. With a Duet, you can create content featuring two combined videos, where users appear side-by-side. This has been a great opportunity for people to appear alongside influencers and celebs in the past.

The TikTok Duet chain builds on the benefits of the duet by connecting two or more videos in an interesting or unusual way. For instance, @Rytallent uses a number of videos chained together to create an unusual, but hilarious picture.

The Takeaway: Make the most of TikTok’s available features like Duet when you’re trying to create trending content. People love seeing people using the capabilities of the app in a creative way. You can also use duets to collaborate with influencers and get more eyes on your content that way.

4. Kombucha Girl

TikTok is a place full of experimentation. People try on new looks, makeup, and even dancing styles. In the case of “Kombucha Girl,” TikTok can also be an excellent opportunity to try out a new thing for the first time and share it with your followers.

The Kombucha Girl @Brittany_Broski, went viral after recording her unusual response to the Kombucha drink. Her facial expressions even became a meme!

The Takeaway: Don’t be afraid to show your real, authentic self when creating TikTok content. Most of the younger users on the channel want to see real experiences and authentic responses. Even if you think you look silly, you can gain a lot of followers just by being genuine.

5. Uncommon Dance Moves

Dancing is everywhere on TikTok. Since the TikTok app came from Music.ly, it has a deep connection with music – hence all the lip-syncing and duet videos. Access to trending music to accompany TikTok clips also means a lot of people experiment with dance moves and create their own dancing challenge.

This uncommon dance move video by @Gibz uses a popular sound, “Believe me,” alongside some unique dance moves to bring an interesting twist to a trend.

The Takeaway: Keep up to date with the trending sounds and songs on TikTok, and make sure you get involved when you can. While following a trend is great because it attracts people who are already listening to the music you’re using, introducing something new is important, too. Your unique twist will make your content stand out from the competition.

6. Giving Your Pet A Voice

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your dog could talk to you? The people on TikTok definitely have. Adding to the popularity of pet focused funny TikTok videos is the trend of giving animals a voice. You don’t have to actually speak for your pet if you don’t want to, you can just add some captions instead.

The great thing about this video from @TheChappieShow is the user leveraged a sound already popular on the app to follow a trend, then made a video users enjoyed a lot more than the original with a twist of creativity.

The Takeaway: Experiment with new ways to bring life and personality to your video. When you’re following a trend, it always pays to look for ways you can make your content a little better than the creators who came before you.

7. Internet Drama

One of the things that makes TikTok so unique among social media sites is the fact that anything can go viral. You can take almost any inspiration (on the web or off) and turn it into something that people love. This funny TikTok trend “Internet Drama” looks at comments on other social media sites and elsewhere on the web, and pairs it with music.

The creator sings the comments left on things like house listings and other posts, to make them into hilarious parodies. The video is just one in a series of clips which have attracted hundreds of thousands of followers.

The Takeaway: Look for inspiration everywhere. Even a strange comment someone left on a Facebook page can become a TikTok hit!

8. The M&M Prank

TikTok is a popular app among younger users like Generation Z, and younger fans love a good prank. The internet will always find a well-planned and properly executed prank funny, and well-worth sharing, as long as it’s not cruel.

In this “M&M” prank video, a man replaces the M&Ms in a tube of candy with a hot dog, then gives one to his girlfriend, asking her to try and catch as many M&M’s in her mouth as possible. By making the prank seem like a challenge, he easily convinced her to take part.

The Takeaway: People love watching hilarious interactions between others. A good, well-timed prank can be hilarious, and it’s often a great source of inspiration for other pranksters.
