Insider Knowledge
Terminology
Greeting Salutations
Example Conversation
Insider
Vibe check!
Outsider
Huh? What do you mean by that?
Insider
'Vibe check' is a playful way to ask if the vibe fits — here it means the humor or mood is good. Saying 'You passed!' means you're in sync.
Outsider
Oh, got it! That’s a fun way to say hello.
Cultural Context
This greeting emphasizes shared comedic sensibility and community belonging, quickly checking if someone 'fits' the group's humor.
Inside Jokes
‘That’s so TikTok of you’
Used humorously to call out overused TikTok trends or jokes, this phrase pokes fun at predictable or cliched content in the community.
‘The Algorithm giveth and the Algorithm taketh away’
Creators joke about how platform algorithms unpredictably boost or bury videos, humorously attributing successes or failures to an almost divine force.
Facts & Sayings
„Collab“
Short for 'collaboration,' this term refers to creators working together on comedy content, which is seen as both a growth strategy and a way to blend creative styles.
„Stitch“
A TikTok-specific feature where a creator takes a clip of another's video to respond or build upon it, often used for comedic rebuttals or references.
„Duet“
A TikTok format that allows two videos to play side-by-side, letting a creator add their comedic reaction or continuation to existing content.
„Ratioed“
When a video or post receives more negative engagement (like critical comments) than positive, signaling that the joke may have missed its mark.
„Vibe check“
A playful way to assess whether something (a joke, a creator’s style, a topic) fits the community’s comedic tone or audience mood.
Unwritten Rules
Always credit inspiration or borrowed meme formats.
Acknowledging source material avoids accusations of plagiarism and builds community goodwill.
Engage authentically with fans in comments or livestreams.
Fans expect creators to be approachable and responsive, strengthening community bonds.
Avoid direct comedic beef or harsh public feuds.
While playful rivalry is common, overt drama can alienate audiences and damage reputations.
Stay current on trends but add your unique twist.
Jumping on trends without originality is seen as uncreative and can lead to quick audience burnout.

Take notes on recurring themes, inside jokes, and the types of humor that resonate with viewers. This step is crucial for understanding the landscape and unwritten rules of the community. Beginners often overlook the importance of observation and jump straight into creating, missing key nuances. To overcome this, dedicate time to active watching and reflection. Evaluate your progress by being able to identify common comedic tropes and explain why certain videos are successful. This foundational knowledge will inform your own creative approach.

Look for forums, Discord servers, subreddit groups, or Facebook groups dedicated to online comedy. Introduce yourself, read community guidelines, and observe ongoing discussions. Ask questions about content creation, platform algorithms, and audience engagement. Avoid spamming or self-promotion at this stage; focus on building rapport and learning from others. Beginners may feel intimidated or unsure how to contribute—start by commenting thoughtfully on others’ posts or sharing your observations from step one. This step is vital for networking, staying updated on trends, and finding collaborators. Progress is marked by feeling comfortable interacting, receiving responses, and recognizing familiar community members.

Experiment With Short Comedy Clips
2-3 hoursIntermediate
Summary: Create and post your own short comedic video (15-60 seconds) using a smartphone and free editing apps.

Use your smartphone and free editing tools to film and edit a 15-60 second clip—this could be a joke, parody, or reaction. Focus on clear audio, good lighting, and concise delivery. Don’t worry about perfection; the goal is to practice translating humor into video format. Common beginner challenges include overcomplicating ideas, feeling self-conscious, or struggling with basic editing. Start small and iterate—use templates or mimic formats you’ve observed.

Progress is measured by successfully publishing your first clip and reflecting on what worked or didn’t.

Solicit Constructive Feedback
1-2 daysIntermediate
Summary: Share your video with peers or online groups and request specific, actionable feedback on your comedic content.
Details: After posting your first video, seek out feedback from other creators or supportive online communities. Share your clip in beginner-friendly forums or group chats, and ask for honest, constructive criticism—be specific about what you want to improve (timing, delivery, editing, etc.). Be open to both positive and negative comments, and avoid taking criticism personally. Beginners often struggle with vague feedback or discouragement; to overcome this, ask targeted questions and thank people for their input. Use the feedback to identify strengths and areas for growth. This step is important for iterative improvement and learning how your humor translates to others. Progress is evident when you can implement suggestions and notice improvements in your next video.
5
Study Platform Algorithms and Trends
2-3 hoursIntermediate
Summary: Research how algorithms and trends affect comedy content visibility on major platforms.
Details: To maximize your reach and engagement, learn how different platforms promote comedic content. Research how algorithms on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram work—what factors boost visibility, such as hashtags, posting times, and audience interaction. Follow trend reports, creator blogs, and platform updates to stay informed about what’s currently popular. Beginners often ignore this step, resulting in low visibility for their content. Overcome this by dedicating time to reading guides and experimenting with your own posts (e.g., using trending sounds or hashtags). This knowledge helps you tailor your content for better discoverability and audience growth. Evaluate your progress by tracking changes in your video views and engagement as you apply new strategies.
