Of course, TikTok is made for videos, but the infamous TikTok screenshot has quickly become its own category across platforms. The absurdity of the TikTok universe can be captured in this quick gesture, making users across Instagram, Twitter and Reddit shake their heads in solidarity.

TikTok is usually painted in these images as a post-woke nightmare, jam-packed with clashing personalities, walls of buzz-words and just general cringe word-soup in general. Well, its screenshots are too, and maybe more so than the site in general. Maybe even more so than the original, in fact. Some of these images are hard to look at, but others are actually hilarious. But either way, you can stay far away from that app and enjoy seeing only small excerpts of some pretty awkward videos. No one needs TikTok when you have these instead. Sit back, relax and appreciate the general chaos as you scroll through these 15 TikTok screenshots that could be better than the originals.
