The TikToks That Sparked Chaos at Jezebel and You Should Watch Before the App (Maybe) Perishes Forever

TikTok, the absolute time-waster and video app for children/intellectually stunted adults like myself, is set to be restricted in the U.S., according to executive orders signed by President Trump. Beginning Sunday, the app will no longer appear on any app store. Users who have already downloaded TikTok and the app WeChat can continue using them, but updated versions won’t be able to be downloaded, with further restrictions possibly to come, CNN reports.

What does this mean? It’s hard to say, and the exact future of TikTok accessibility, as it exists right now in America, is up in the air. But one thing is for sure: you better watch these TikToks before something drastic happens. TikTok has brought Jezebel so much joy and so much terror, and the possibility that we could lose such a glorious and chaotic app strikes fear in all our hearts– considering 80 percent of my Slack conversations on any given day are about what bizarre posts I’ve come across in my feed.

And so Jezebel presents: the absolute best TikToks to play before the app perishes forever (if it perishes forever) in the completely unbiased opinion of my colleagues.

They should just play this Crucible TikTok in school instead of making kids read the book.

It was so cringe that even the guy who made it deleted it from his TikTok. Enough said.

For me, TikTok is a fun thing to stare at on my phone when I’m high as hell, a means of erasing my brain until it is merely a Fluffernutter sandwich. These Toks embrace the spirit of Vine, an app whose loss I feel on a daily basis, and also make me laugh so fucking hard that I startle the cat. The first, perverted in a way that I love; what’s not to enjoy about an eggplant with a big ol’ dick? The second is incredible. And the third… if ever I am feeling sad, I watch this fucking dinghy do a Busta Rhymes lyric and laugh until I have to pee. What else could you want!
