It’s the trespassing challenge!

This might be the dumbest TikTok challenge yet: A group of clout-seeking bozos is being excoriated online after they filmed themselves illegally entering a private property in London for TikTok likes — with many critics daring them to pull the same stunt in the gun-loving US.

A TikTok representative confirmed to The Post that “the content was previously removed from the platform, and would violate our Community Guidelines.”

However, the footage is still blowing up on Reddit and Twitter.

In the ludicrous POV clip, captioned “walking into random houses,” a group of men can be seen brazenly opening a gate and strolling into the front yard of a house where a woman is sweeping up.

They then enter the front door, which is slightly ajar. Alarmed over the intrusion, the woman follows them inside and tells the owner, named James, to “come to the front door right now.”

The intruders repeat the owner’s name and ask to speak to him, prompting the puzzled man to bound up the stairs towards them.

“Is this where the study group is?” asks the videographer, feigning confusion, whereupon James says “no” and tries to escort them toward the front door.

Undaunted, the hellions boldly enter the living room and plop down on the couch, making themselves at home.

At this point, James, clearly exasperated by the blatant policy violation, tells them he’s “got kids” and directs them out of his house.

“Oh I thought this was a study group,” the cameraman repeats while departing the home.

Currently, while TikTok’s community guidelines don’t address trespassing specifically, they do mention that the platform bans the “promotion of criminal activities that may harm people, animals or property.”

Needless to say, the trespassing challenge elicited shock and disgust on social media with one Redditor writing, “Omg and they had their children there. These guys are absolute bastards.”

“Good way to get killed. Hope someone f – – ks these kids up,” declared another of the dangerous game.

Meanwhile, others dared the gang to try entering someone’s house in the US, where gun laws are far more lax than in the UK.

“In Florida that gets you killed …” declared one viewer, while another challenged them to try the same game in “the American South.”

“Try that in Texas,” invited another critic on a Twitter repost of the same clip.

“Didn’t even have to listen to the video to know this isn’t in America … boys would’ve been dead before they crossed the lawn,” observed another Redditor.

In fact, even accidentally trespassing onto someone’s property has proven perilous in the gun-loving land of the free.

In a highly publicized case in April, 16-year-old musician Ralph Yarl was shot in the head by an 83-year-old homeowner after ringing the wrong doorbell while trying to pick up his siblings at a home in Kansas City, Missouri.

This so-called trespassing challenge joins a long line of harebrained challenges that have proliferated on the China-owned platform.

Other viral feats have included the skull breaker challenge, the cha-cha slide challenge and the blackout challenge, which encourages internet clout-seekers to asphyxiate themselves until passing out.
