#TikTokTuesday – 1 August

Tuesdays just got a whole lot more exciting! Take a look at the top TikTok videos that are trending in South Africa, Africa, and the rest of the world:

South Africa: Tswana + English + Korean = Profit?

@tidomore Re Nyaka Zaka eo 😂🥺. #fyp #fypシ゚viral #expatlife #southafricanabroad🇿🇦 #southkoreatiktok #chinatiktok #eslteachersoftiktok #eslteacher #jokes #asiantiktok♥ #teachersoftiktokfyp ♬ original sound – Lyrics_with_Bee

When the wish, the desire, the URGE for a salary increase is expressed in not one, but THREE languages, then you know that the desperation (and struggle) is real.

Expat @tidomore hopes that his South Korean employer will grant him his request. Still, we have a feeling that he’ll be standing outside his boss’s place for many more days to come …

Africa: “Mangoes, John is Coming to Pick You”

@osjtroubleson Don’t try it at school 😂😂😂#osj #nigeria #animation #funnyvideos #viral #meme ♬ original sound – Osjtroubleson

Nigeria’s @osjtroubleson strikes again! This time, he’s putting his teacher through the wringer with his slick grammatical skills – mangoes, you have been warned!

The World: Titanic II

Remember that iconic scene from “Titanic”? You know, the one where Rose tells Jack (spoiler alert: he’s dead) that she’ll never let go before letting him float down to the ocean floor?

Clearly, this puppy does NOT feel the same way after “befriending” a fish who’s desperate to return to its watery home. (Don’t worry – unlike Jack, the fish lives!)
