A Connecticut woman who says she has the biggest mouth in the world has garnered more than 780,000 TikTok followers simply by posting videos of it. Samantha Ramsdell, 30, has become an unexpected star of the social media platform for her massive gob but insists that’s not the reason she joined in the first place.

- Samantha originally joined TikTok for the comedy. Talking to Jam Press, Samantha revealed that while she signed up for a TikTok account at the end of 2019, it wasn’t until lockdown hit in April 2020 that she started posting frequently. However, she didn’t get fame for the reason she thought she would. “I started growing popularity over lockdown, I’d make a lot of funny face videos, comedy skits and singing parodies,” she said. “But any video involving my mouth and the faces I can make always went crazy viral.”
- She wishes she could be more than her mouth. While she thinks it’s great that people appreciate her distinct features, she wishes that they would appreciate her skills as a performer as well. “Sometimes at the beginning, I was more offended when people called me a ‘one-trick pony’ about my mouth. I was like, ‘Hey! I’m posting way more than just my mouth,’ but my mouth just gets five times more views! Lol,” she said. “It is a little frustrating sometimes because I wish I could also be known for my singing and comedy videos too, but hey, any press is good press!”
- She makes good money from posting too! Samantha, who works as a sales rep, isn’t just in the game to shock and awe her viewers, she’s in it for the cold hard cash. “TikTok actually pays their top creators now based on how many views and it’s about 0.3 cents per 1,000,” she revealed. “It doesn’t sound like a lot but some of my top videos have over 50 million views, so if you do the math, it ain’t too shabby for eating subway sandwiches on camera!”
- She could be in the Guinness Book of World Records. Samantha insists that her mouth breaks records, saying that while the current record holder’s mouth measures at about 3.75 inches from the upper to lower incisors, measurements show hers is nearly 4 inches. Someone call the officials!
