Top 5 Brainrot characters taking TikTok by storm, ranked 

Brainrot is the internet’s latest obsession. And TikTok is where it's all happening. The term "brainrot" literally means brain numbness from endless scrolling. We have all, at some point, experienced "brainrot." But did you ever think the term would go so viral that it would even inspire characters?

It is now a badge of honor for content that’s so absurd and so strangely captivating that you can’t stop watching it. It’s the kind of content that needs zero effort and makes you question why you're even watching it. But you just can't stop!

Brainrot has become a full-blown aesthetic on TikTok. You will find Italian AI-generated memes and some nonsensical catchphrases if you search for them. There are also these characters that defy logic.

Those characters are nothing but anthropomorphic creatures and bizarre cartoon figures. And let me tell you, they have no business being as entertaining as they are! But we are here quoting them and turning them into viral sensations.

Let's look at the top 5 Brainrot characters. The motto is the weirder, the better.

Top 5 Brainrot characters taking TikTok by storm, ranked

5) Chimpanzini Bananini

Brainrot gave us Chimpanzini Bananini. And it's a monkey that’s also... a banana. Born on March 13, 2025, thanks to @alexey_pigeon, Bananini wasn’t alone. He showed up with a whole fruit salad of buddies like Chimpanzini Cocosini (a monkey + coconut) and Chimpanzini Ananasini (a monkey + pineapple).

The video was like a fever dream and raked in a wild 29 million views and 3 million likes in just two weeks. That’s not virality. That's insanity (to say the least!).

4) Lirili Larila

Forget logic when it comes to the Brainrot cinematic universe. Next up is Lirili Larila. He is a cactus-bodied elephant wearing massive sandals on two feet. Born from the depths of AI absurdity, Lirili is a full-blown legend.

He protects, predicts, and manipulates time. He would put Doctor Strange to shame!

His powers are on another level. He can literally slow time down to a crawl or speed it up to turn winter into summer. His third form is the Ruler of Time. You heard that right.

He once took on Tung Tung Tung Sahur (who casually wandered into Saudi Arabia) and stopped him from attacking Riyadh. Lirili outwitted his enemy with his time-bending abilities.

You never think you’ll start rooting for a sandal-wearing, cactus-bodied desert elephant... until you meet Lirili Larila.

3) Tung Tung Tung Sahur

Tung Tung Tung Sahur is in a league of his own. He is a drum carrying a baseball bat. He is known across the TikTokverse as a glitch entity. Sahur doesn’t play by the usual Brainrot rules. He breaks them.

Oh, and if you dare not respond when he calls for you, he will appear. No wonder Lirili had to use his time-manipulation powers just to slow this menace down in the desert of Riyadh.

2) Bombardiro Crocodilo

Born in the mysterious depths of the TikTok Lab at Bomb Industries on the 2nd of May 2025, Bombardiro Crocodilo isn’t a normal crocodile or even a flying crocodile. He is half reptile and half B-17 bomber. He has a crocodile’s head and a plane’s body.

He has committed multiple Geneva Convention war crimes. Bombardiro's brother, Bombombini Gusini, betrayed him during the First Croco-Avian War. But the Crocos still won even with the odds against them.

Oh, and he literally doesn’t believe in Allah but deeply loves bombs… Make of that what you will.

1) Tralalero Tralala

Tralalero Tralala hails from the OG Italian Brainrot lineup. This oceanic oddball struts along the seafloor with three legs instead of fins. Two sturdy limbs flank his sides, and a surprise third leg juts out from the end of his tail.

And because that’s not weird enough, he also rocks a pair of bright blue Nikes.

But Tralalero has jaw strength that can bite through anything and jumping powers. He also has cloning abilities courtesy of his absurd regeneration skills.

Tralalero is also an atheist. He holds a very public grudge against both God and Allah for all his traumas.

Tralalero allied with the Crocos and made his mark on ground-based operations despite being limited in the Croco-Avian Wars due to his lack of aerial advantage. So iconic was his effort that King Charles III himself knighted him in the UK. Sir Tralalero Tralala may not fly, but he sure walks all over his enemies.

These Brainrot creatures are all unhinged and make absolutely no sense, but that could be why people love them so much. They are weirdly addictive and all over TikTok. No one asked for them, and yet everyone loves them.
