Human beings have been finding unique and creative ways to express themselves ever since we first came into existence. We have created cave paintings, composed symphonies, and pushed the boundaries of the written word with experimental poetry. Then, we discovered the addictive properties of viral fame and began making memes, eventually even turning ourselves into memes through the power of one influential app: TikTok.

It seems like for every person who cannot fathom the appeal of making oneself into an internet personality, there is another one ready and willing to play the part for the sake of the view count. I’m not complaining, because it allows for a compilation of the most entertaining attempts that can be found in this genre. The examples below prove that even if screen addictions are slowly cooking our brains, we have not lost the impulse to tell the world how we think and feel in ways that are amusing. That is something to celebrate.
