The year is coming to a conclusion, and most people have moved on from the momentary bliss that was Spotify Wrapped, but there is one social giant that has yet to enter the year-end list ring – TikTok. TikTok has released a list of its top ten most-viewed videos in 2022. If you’re under the age of 25, you’re probably sick of them already, but don’t worry, we’re here to smack them as much as we are to celebrate their success. If you’re a millennial (or a fan of Instagram Reels), you’ll be happy to know that the Corn Kid remix and Louis Theroux’s “Jiggle Jiggle” made the cut. Let’s take this chance to collectively laugh or cringe as we list down this year’s most-viewed and viral TikTok videos from the world’s most powerful social media platform.

1. The Mysterious Giant Chocolate Giraffe
When it came to food videos last year, we wondered if we were seeing at cake beautifully disguised as a miscellaneous object or the miscellaneous object itself. Now that the year is 2022 and the world has become exponentially more complicated, we must add another question to the mix: is it chocolate?
2. Squishy Munches on Some Nuts
Our adorable baby has returned! Squishy the chipmunk has emerged from hibernation, and it appears that people are overjoyed. Either that, or they find the video amusing. The video’s most popular comment is “that’s Alvin chipmunks,” so we’ll go with that. But, hey, the second most popular comment is “SQUISHY LETS GOO,” so who am I to judge?
3. Rosala Chews Gum, and Everyone Goes Crazy
TikTok has always been swamped with the same happy-go-lucky day-in-the-life videos, but our queen Rosala is here to give the trend a more honest spin. Her popular video followed her throughout the day, as she went to the gym, cooked, and ate – all while chewing her gum with the perfect blank expression. Same, Rosalía. Same.
4. The “Jiggle Jiggle” One
Duke and Jones went viral in March after uploading a hilarious remix of documentarian Louis Theroux rapping a cappella in an interview. After 6.6 million videos, it’s reasonable to say that the joke has gotten old, and the most-viewed video with the sound is possibly the best possible expression of that attitude. The three dancers in the video appear absolutely bored as they do the dances. We couldn’t be more alike.
5. I’m Still a Baby!
We have another piece of related information for adults who want to avoid their responsibilities at number five. On February 19, the kid of @little.blooming.women issued a rallying cry that brought people from coast to coast together. When challenged by her mother, who was disciplining her for not following her orders, she said, “I’m just a baby!” The ideal justification for almost everything.
6. The Corn Video. You Know the One.
It’s corn! A massive lump with knobs! You probably recognize @schmoyoho from their famous “Songify the News” series on YouTube, which went viral during the 2016 election, but their career took off again when they joined TikTok and began posting bite-sized remixes instead of their usual elaborate songs. With the Corn Kid remix and “Chrissy Wake Up,” @schmoyoho absolutely ruled the TikTok sound space in 2022.
7. It’s About Damn Time (That Y’all Work On Your Dance Moves)
The TikTok dancing space is highly crowded, and because the videos are so simple to create, everyone believes they can and no one questions whether they should. Someone has to tell it: not everyone has what it takes to be Charli D’Amelio. Thankfully, Lizzo is here to support us. She decided to put the amateurs in their place after watching several individuals execute the dance to her song “About Damn Time” incorrectly, shouting at them like a disgruntled dance teacher to set the record straight on how the dance is truly meant to go. Thank you, Lizzo!
8. The School Musical Reveal That lasted a little too long
This teacher deserves a raise for revealing his school’s musical in two minutes, making a video of himself talking, and then engaging with that video in class as if he were on a video call with himself. In case you were wondering, the musical that was chosen was The Addams Family. Jenna Ortega would have been thrilled.
9. Tom Is No Longer Homeless
In what is perhaps the most touching video on our list, Jimmy Darts hires a homeless guy called Tom, who tells Jimmy, “I love it! I really wish I could sleep here! The most essential thing is to get down to work. It’s a great place to work! It feels wonderful.” Darts raised a total of $20,000 for Tom.
10. Ice vs. Lava (Jurassic Park Style)
Who came out on top?
Without a satisfying destruction video, this list would be incomplete. Unfortunately, it’s not very fulfilling because the lava eventually fades out and hardly makes a scratch in the ice.
Conclusion
And this concludes our list of the top 10 viral TikTok videos in 2022 that you must watch. Now you can take inspiration from all these great TikTok videos to make a popular TikTok video yourself. Don’t forget to choose a popular song to make your video on the TikTok app.
