6 local accounts to follow on #ParentTok

More and more 30 to 40 year olds are joining TikTok these days (21% and 20% of users, respectively), and for good reason. You can laugh a little, learn a little and take a break from the more prominent discord of other social media platforms. Bonus tip from one “geriatric millennial” to another: You don’t actually have to have a TikTok account to enjoy the quick, raw masterpieces from our six favorite local content creators!

If you are a born and raised Oklahoman but still like to poke a little fun at “Okieisms,” this account is for you. Faith shares clever videos on everything from “Oklahoma cities as cars” to quips on all Oklahomans being humble and kind. Beware: you may snort your morning coffee while howling with laughter (like we did!). @nicekidd

Much like the first account, this one will have you giggling at the relatability of the “Okie-isms” in your life. Enjoy hilarious takes on tornado watching, construction on I-35 and a healthy dose of Denzel voice-overs! @nicekidd brings a creative and hilarious take on everyday experiences in the Sooner State.

You thought Oklahoma couldn’t be more beautiful if it tried ... then you looked up this account. This photographer and videographer captures the best scenes of our red dirt state. Added bonus: his sidekick dachshund makes frequent cameos and is about the best farm dog we’ve ever seen (ha!). @edgarthestormchaser

Speaking of tornado watching, this Oklahoman takes it to the extreme! If you are the type who hears the sirens and runs outdoors, do yourself a favor: take shelter, then watch this account instead. @ruralgoneurban

Brooke has had a rough road, delivering a baby and receiving a cancer diagnosis on the same day. She came through with dignified grace, raw honesty and a ton of humor. Just when we thought moms couldn’t be more “superhero status,” we met this mama. Plus, her baby (now a toddler!) is adorable and clearly inherited her mom’s ornery wit.

”Self-proclaimed comedian” is the label on his bio, and we agree! His quirky and hilarious cuts range from @NativeTok content to music cover parodies, and we are here for it!
