Here are the best of the TikTok Pepe King Prawn stories I genuinely can’t believe are real

Pepe the King Prawn was once a beloved character from the Muppets, but now he’s the face of the best trend to hit TikTok all year. The trend consists of Pepe’s face looking pretty traumatised while a user writes an absolutely wild story and there have been some unforgettable ones so far. Here’s a roundup of the best Pepe the King Prawn meme stories to grace TikTok.

10. The leprosy story

via TikTok

Starting off strong with the leprosy story. The story starts with the user explaining how she was diagnosed with lupus, an incurable autoimmune disease, at 19. However, she received a bunch of cards from people saying get well soon because her grandma had told everyone she had leprosy. Oh grandma.

9. The long lungs story

via TikTok

The long lungs story is thankfully short. User Cassidy Hurley explained how she was taking a chest x-ray of a patient with long lungs and told him she needed to take two because of the length. She said he had “lungs of steel” and could run a marathon, but both of his legs had been amputated. I actually have no words.

8. The teratoma story

Make sure you haven’t just eaten before listening to the teratoma story. The entire tale starts with the TikTok user not wanting to go to school and feigning an illness, only to be taken to the hospital by her mum and find out they had a teratoma. Don’t look up a teratoma if you’re faint-hearted, because they have eyeballs. Yes, EYEBALLS.

7. The demented Peppa Pig birthday party story

via TikTok

The Peppa Pig story, or as people are calling it on TikTok, the deranged Peppa Pig birthday party story, sent me into fits of crying laughter after reading it. Basically this poor teen worked at a kid’s birthday party dressed as Peppa Pig with no prior knowledge of Peppa and her wildly successful TV show.

Everything seemed to go wrong when they hit a toddler in the head who was being carried by his granddad. Then, the Peppa cosplayer walked around for the rest of the day with a dented head while blasting club remixes of the theme song and making actual pig noises. I can’t think of a worse way to spend an afternoon tbh.

6. The broken arm story

via TikTok

I’m praying the TikTok user who posted the broken arm story is okay, because this was a TRAUMATISING read. The user was a kid on the fourth of July, and wanted to help with the cooking but her grandma said no. So instead she went with her brother to bike down an insanely steep hill where she broke her arm IN HALF.

While she was on the road covered in blood, a truck nearly ran her over and beeped at her for being in the way, and she also got attacked by the neighbour’s dog. She had to go and get surgery to put her arm back together and would never get to play softball again. No idea what happened to her, but I’m keeping my eyes peeled for an update.

5. The mental hospital story

via TikTok

The story about the mental hospital has to be one of the most diabolical I’ve ever seen on TikTok. This girl at school started a gossip account and would send people messages with all of their secrets, causing a real ruckus. Once the teachers found out, they planned a huge assembly to find out who was behind it. The girl told her best friend she was responsible, and one of the other students who the user had messaged overheard and told a teacher. In a panic, the user blamed it on the girl who had overheard her and they put her in a mental hospital for A YEAR. However, when she got out, she said she was going to come for the real girl behind it. Somebody, please check in on everyone involved here.

4. The diabetic sock story

via TikTok

The diabetic sock story is short but painful to read. It simply goes: “My face when I pull the sock off my diabetic patient and their pinky toe goes flying across the room.” What. Even.

3. The bee sting/grandparents story

via TikTok

I didn’t even know how to go about naming the bee sting/grandparents story because it has too many layers. It starts out when the user was a kid using the toilet at a service station when they were stung by a bee. “In the asscrack.”

The kid then had an allergic reaction to the beesting and nearly died. His mum rushed him to hospital in an ambulance, and his grandparents who were also with him took the car to the hospital. However, on the way there they had a car crash. They had swerved off the road and paramedics were already on the scene.

So, the mum had to leave this poor kid in the emergency room by himself and go to the incident. From the stress, the kid started throwing up everywhere in the ER.

Thankfully both of the grandparents recovered, but two weeks later the granddad died after falling down a flight of stairs. Nothing could have prepared me for the twists and turns in that story.

2. The New York subway story

via TikTok

I’ve never known horror like the New York subway story. It’s simple but it’s disgusting. A girl was on the subway wearing Nully cargo rental jeans going to return some boots but she sat in actual human poo. She was having a meltdown and ran to the nearest Lululemon who gave her a 75 per cent off “sat in human sh*t” discount on some new leggings.

The best part of this story is a commenter who wrote: “Me looking down in horror at my black Nuuly rental cargo jeans.” Nothing is ever going to beat this TikTok trend.

This story, the final boss of all Pepe King Prawn stories, even has its own re-enactment from the original poster with nearly three million likes. If you know, you know. You need to hear the olive oil story in its entirety, and it’s so damn wild it’s got its own article.
