The internet becomes more and more essential to human social and communicative interaction in daily life.

In other words, the cyberpragmatic components of which satirical expressions are composed, identifying the cyberpragmatic strategies realising these strategies that are used most in the TikTok platform, show the most common cyberpragmatic strategies employed in social media comments. More precisely, the current paper seeks to bridge this linguistic gap by answering the following question: What are the most common cyberpragmatic strategies utilised in satirical expressions on social media platforms, especially TikTok?
