Although Nick’s video is of him lip-syncing to ‘Sugar Crush’, it’s almost a challenge, as the video opens with him watching a pretty girl singing the same song. With 49,5 million likes, Nick’s play on lip-syncing, adding another layer at the beginning, paid off.

@totouchanemu

I may not have @maxtaylorlifts dumpy but I do have a drone.

♬ STAY – The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber

David Allen’s video hit the 44,9 million likes mark with his creative and clever use of a dance challenge, the use of a drone to achieve a 360-degree view, and his attempt to twerk after watching a video of a woman doing it. He smashes it. A man twerking may not seem fascinating enough but David’s assimilation of the tool’s ad tricks got viewers watching, liking, and sharing; making this post go viral.

@ladbible THE DOG WAS TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK💀🤣 🎥@Adrian Chateau Wiles #ladbible #fyp #foryourpage #barkingchallenge #funnydogsoftiktok #unexpectedvideo ♬ original sound – Savyy

Animal and pet videos are a sure way to pull at the heartstrings or add genuinely intimate moments with comedy all rolled into one. Adrian took this and ran with it when she attempted the ‘bark at my dog’ challenge. Her dog’s reaction got her 40,6 million likes. Just a girl and her dog, plus a challenge! 

“Time Warp Scan” filter by Billie Eilish

Singer-songwriter, Billie Eilish’s, ‘time warp scan filter’ video is hilarious. This video makes her relatable, which is why it probably achieved over 40 million likes despite being unrelated to her singing talent or performance skills. She is seen goofing around with the filter, trying it out like everyone else, and poking fun at herself. It is worth watching more than once.  

Khabane ” Khaby” Lame

Most of Khabane’s posts go viral, and this could be attributed to his wordless yet sarcastic responses to some of the silliest videos on the internet. In this video, he watches someone use serious knife skills to peel a banana on a chopping board, taking more time and using unnecessary steps. Khaby’s famous facial expressions begin his response, as he silently uses his bare hands to peel the banana with less hassle. His expression and body language sell the video earning him 37,9 million likes. 

Cat pawing at the camera by British Promise Cats

Back to animals, I told you they’re magnets for views and likes. The camera angle gives us a different perspective of the adorable and fuzzy kitten popping its head and paws inside a tube, as we look up at it. No talent is required, just a camera set up to catch the cuteness of a kitten.
