TikTok’s latest craze is taking football fans on an unpredictable rollercoaster ride of edits that are weird, hilarious, and totally out of left field. Imagine you’re watching a perfectly normal video, perhaps about a cute dog, a cooking hack, or even some seriously impressive dance moves. Suddenly, out of nowhere, it’s bam—a totally unexpected and out-of-context edit that flips everything you thought you knew upside down!
These random, quirky transitions are breaking the football social media platforms and making us rethink what’s funny (and what’s just plain weird). Whether it’s a dramatic shift to something absurd, a meme-worthy twist, or a downright bizarre clip that has you wondering, “Did I just see that?”—these TikTok edits are both puzzling and hilarious in all the right ways.
So, grab your popcorn (or your phone; we know you’re already scrolling), and let’s dive into some of the funniest, most unexpected TikTok edits that are trending right now. You won’t believe your eyes!
#1 – Raheem Velma, the new ghostbuster in town?
Imagine this: you’re watching TikTok, and out of nowhere, Velma from Scooby-Doo pops up, sprinting away from ghosts with her arms tucked in and her back arched. It’s weird, but strangely effective. Just as you’re processing this, the edit switches to Raheem Sterling, tearing it up on the pitch with a similar run—arms tight, back hunched, but somehow still faster than most defenders. It’s like the meme gods have blessed us with this perfect comparison, showing that Sterling might just be channeling his inner Velma when he’s zooming down the wing. The internet is loving it, and it’s hilarious how something so awkward can actually be so effective!
#2 – Dexter x Saka Collab – The alliance the world needed
In another TikTok edit that’s taken the internet by storm, the iconic Dexter character, seen in a tense moment from the show, casually shrugs his shoulders. Just as you think the video is done, the transition hits, and—boom! It switches to none other than Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s star winger, who has been known for his own version of the “shoulder shrug” celebration after scoring goals for his club. It’s a hilariously unexpected moment that connects two totally different worlds—one from a dark crime series and the other from the bright lights of football. The timing of this edit is perfect, making you wonder if Dexter was secretly inspiring Saka all along. Football and TV shows colliding in such a quirky way? Now that’s the kind of TikTok magic we didn’t know we needed!
#3 – Modric is the new Sweeney?
Okay, so this one is probably my personal favourite. Sydney Sweeney has taken the world by storm with her breakout year in Hollywood this calendar year. The Hollywood actress is wholeheartedly adored by the internet, especially for the beauty, elegance, and style the American has. But even after her career’s most successful year, the famous actress’ biggest milestone is probably getting compared to the Croatian midfield maestro, Luka Modric. Not in terms of football obviously, but elegance and, well…, hair maybe? To be honest, Luka has got some voluminous and vibrant hair, especially for a footballer!
#4 – From Bathtubs to Football: Cole Palmer’s Ice-Cold Celebration
In another hilarious TikTok edit, Cole Palmer’s “ice cold” celebration after scoring—where he crosses his arms as if he’s freezing—gets an unexpected but perfect comparison to a children’s cartoon. The clip starts with a young cartoon character touching a freezing cold bathtub and dramatically crossing his arms to show just how cold he is. Suddenly, the video transitions to Palmer in a similar pose after scoring, as if he’s channelling his inner cartoon kid. It’s an odd yet spot-on edit that has football fans laughing at the perfect parallel between a Premier League star and a kid’s exaggerated reaction to cold. The internet can’t help but wonder if Palmer’s goal celebrations are inspired by his childhood cartoon memories!
#5 – Hoverboard Fail Meets World Cup Glory: Mbappé’s Shot, Kid’s Fall, Same Energy
In this next TikTok edit, a kid on a hoverboard hilariously wipes out, face-planting into the ground like he’s auditioning for a role in a slapstick comedy. But just when you think the video’s about to end in pure chaos, it cuts to Mbappé effortlessly scoring his iconic World Cup goal. Now, the real genius here is how the kid’s fall mirrors Mbappé’s low, sleek shot—like they both planned it. It’s as if the kid was channelling his inner French striker, but instead of scoring goals, he’s scoring laughs with a face-first landing. Who knew falling off a hoverboard could be so… football-esque?
#6 – Shirtless Blunder, Bruno Fernandes Style
In this TikTok masterpiece, a kid celebrates his team’s goal by throwing his shirt into the air—only to realize, mid-celebration, that he’s now shirtless and totally unprepared for the aftermath. His face says it all: pure panic, as he cups his ears and mouths, “What have I done?”—like he’s just discovered the consequences of a really bad life decision. Just when you think the chaos is over, the edit cuts to none other than Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, known for his iconic “cupped ears” celebration whenever he scores. The randomness of this edit is a comedy goldmine—this kid’s shirtless fail magically syncing with Bruno’s boss-like celebration is like watching a pre-match warm-up for disaster. Talk about hitting peak randomness with zero shirt and a whole lot of flair!
#6 – Wig Off, Robben On
This TikTok edit takes a seriously emotional Cara Delevingne wig moment and flips it on its head with pure comedy. As Cara dramatically rips off her wig in a heated argument with Jaden Smith, revealing her bald head, you expect some heartbreaking moment. But nope—enter Arjen Robben. The next cut shows the football legend’s iconic baldness, and suddenly, the intense scene is hilariously undercut by the randomness of some Arjen Robben montage. It’s like comparing a Hollywood meltdown to a man who’s bald by choice—and fans are losing it. Just goes to show, TikTok’s magic is in its chaos!
Other Honourable Mentions
Honorable mentions in the world of TikTok edits feature some hilarious gems too. One edit draws a comparison between Pep Guardiola’s rare smile and a famous celebrity’s grin—who knew Pep had such star power? Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic bicycle kick against Juventus in the Champions League is hilariously paired with random, everyday moments, making us question how a world-class goal can have such an even crazier twist. These unexpected clips remind us why TikTok edits are so great—unexpected, ridiculous, and laugh-out-loud funny!
