The 15 Best TikToks of 2020
A year ago I would’ve thought an article like this unthinkably dumb. But in 2020, I got pretty stupid. Months of sitting indoors bored, depressed and with my face pressed up against a screen has led to this moment… a list of my 15 favourite TikToks of the year. Some are only seconds long, but each captures either a comedic or creative brilliance that was as much of a boost to my serotonin this year as any other media. Hopefully, next year, a list like this will not be necessary…

Creator of the year: Soupytime
Nobody provided as consistently high-quality material on TikTok, at least that I’m aware of, in 2020 than the 18-year old American student known as Soupytime, who’s love of The Beatles, frog hats and being an absolute delight has powered her to the top of many a For You Page.

The high-octane mania of young American creator Andy’s videos is a constant breath of fresh (probably diseased) air. Something’s always crawling in the background while he screams at the camera. It’s cathartic as hell.
