The opening reaction
Uh, guys? Are you okay? I'm not making any of this up. These are all actual comments from just the last day.
Talk about a scary window into TikTokers' brains.
The word map
This is the map of the most common words found across the 600,000 or so comments on my TikTok marshmallow test video.
I instructed people to comment something random, but to include a number, either 37 or 42.
After throwing out the top eight words, which are a bit boring, things start to get interesting.
The strange common words
15,000 comments had the word kid. 5,700 had children, and 10,342 had the word basement.
Why? What's going on here, guys? I feel like everything that comes out of your mouth is a cry for help.
Other comment patterns
Some other fun facts: mom was twice as common as dad, the seventh most popular animal was aardvark, and 23 people mentioned chainsaws.
This data set is a gold mine, so let me know down below what else I should look for. Compilation video on YouTube next week.
Additional Notes
Caption context
Replying to @josie_bloom. The caption says the speaker also counted the number of “bears” and “Battlestar Galactica” mentions and asks viewers to guess what beat what.
Evidence nuance
This is a playful text analysis of a viral comment dataset. It should not be treated as representative of TikTok users overall.
