Funny TikTok Video Ideas 2026

POV (Point of View) videos remain one of TikTok's most engaging comedy formats. 'POV: You're the only one at the office who didn't get the memo' or 'POV: You replied all on a company-wide email' consistently go viral because they create instant relatable recognition. The audience projects themselves into the scenario and shares it with people who will also relate.

Relatable situational humor around everyday pain points performs exceptionally well: 'When you rehearsed the conversation 50 times but the other person goes off-script', 'Working from home vs what your boss thinks working from home looks like', 'Me at 11:59pm vs me at 12:00am after setting a resolution'. These videos are simple to produce, require minimal equipment, and have infinite creative headroom.

Not all funny TikTok content requires showing your face. Text-based humor using just on-screen text over b-roll or a black background can go extremely viral. 'Things I thought were normal until I visited someone else's house' as a text list with humorous entries, or absurdist business idea threads, generate huge engagement with zero on-camera presence.

Voiceover comedy is another strong faceless format — recording a humorous narration over relatable stock footage, or creating a running commentary track over everyday video clips. Animated text conversations (fake text message conversations between two characters) are also popular and fully faceless. For these formats, FluxNote can assist with production — combining text overlays, AI voiceover, and b-roll footage to create shareable comedy content without on-camera shooting.

Corporate/Office Humor has a large and loyal audience of 22-40 year old professionals who desperately relate to office absurdities. Content about meetings that could have been emails, the chaos of end-of-quarter deadlines, and the politics of open office layouts resonates deeply. This niche also attracts B2B software and productivity tool brand deals.

Parenting humor, pet content, and generational humor (Millennials vs Gen Z references) are perennially strong on TikTok. Dating app humor and social observation comedy (noting absurd things about modern life) are consistently high-performers. Note: TikTok is banned in India since 2020. Indian creators should publish funny video content on Instagram Reels, which has a massive comedy content ecosystem in India, with many creators in Hindi, Tamil, and other regional languages achieving millions of views with these same formats.
