Unlike the typical TikTok content you might encounter on the platform, this account creates short, authentic-looking documentaries. The videos are montages from real moments in history, put together with a satirical voiceover. Many people watching the videos for the first time thought these hilarious moments actually happened!

With her original form of comedy and genuine personality, this Egyptian TikTok star has won the hearts of many viewers. She was also able to get back at the haters after being one of the few plus-sized Arab TikTokers to be featured in Vogue Arabia.
@pumatheweirdo ♬ оригинальный звук - Cat Puma
Let’s face it, the internet wouldn’t be any fun without cute cat videos, and Puma has managed to become one of the most famous TikTok cats right now. This ginger tabby feline has recently gone viral with the help of its owner, creating adorable and hilarious videos. The creative content that her owner produces is what helped the videos stand out from the rest of the hundreds of cat content.
@wisdm8 Might mess up the timeline but oh well

Very recently, Emily went viral with her videos of recreating logos for companies and franchises, and now major brands are asking her to redesign theirs. Her deadpan sense of humour and the ridiculous designs she has made for Amazon, McDonald’s, Starbucks, and even TikTok itself are what helped her create this huge fan base.

This comedian made her fame during quarantine when she was bluntly honest with her audience about what was going through her head during that awful time. People have come to love watching her crunch on chips and put on her broken ’90s sunglasses as she leans back in her bed and vocalises what is on all of our minds but choose not to say.
