I donāt know about you, but the āhear me outā cake trend has taken over my TikTok FYP, and they get more and more wild every time I see a new one. ICYMI, the āhear me outā cake trend consists of putting photos of your most unhinged crushes onto a cake āĀ basically, your way of getting your friends and followers to understand why you feel some type of way about some random TV character or celebrity. There are really no rules for this, just the general guideline that whatever you pick should be unconventional enough to make for some good laughs.Ā
Having a weird and obscure crush may just be the great equalizer. I mean, we have all had a crush or two in our lives that are a bit weird āĀ and I am no exception. That said, with all these videos coming out, my innocent crush on Kovu the animated brooding lion from The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride seem pretty tame. (However, I should note, I have not seen enough people putting Kovu on their cakes, and I know Iām not the only one who harbors these feelings.)
In honor of this hilarious trend, Iāve compiled a list of 12 of the wildest āhear me outā cake TikToks āĀ you know, the ones that are so unhinged your jaw will be on the floor by then end of them. After watching these videos, I have a whole new understanding of the phrase āto each their own.ā Just be warned: You might walk away from these videos with a new crop of unconventional crushes. Whatever floats your boat, I guess!Ā
My Little Pony
This video starts off strong with Alvin from Alvin and The Chipmunks, even though I was more of a Simon girl myself. Then, takes an unhinged turn with two back-to-back mentions of Shining Armor from My Little Pony. Great minds think alikeā¦ right?Ā
ToothlessĀ Ā
Including Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon as your first mention on a āhear me outā cake is as bonkers as it gets. Isnāt the first one supposed to be the most palatable?!
The Number 8
This one has to be my favorite āhear me outā of all time. I mean, the guy in the video said it best: āIt knows what it’s doing.ā The video doesnāt flop from there, with mentions of the Care Bears and Godzilla definitely deserving of honorable mentions.
The Invisible Man
Of all the characters in Hotel Transylvania, this one is really something. Not to point out the obvious butā¦ heās invisible? Must be something about those glasses and the voice.Ā
The GTA meme
This isnāt just about CJ from GTA: San Andreas; itās specifically him in a meme. The creator goes on to also mention the endermen from Minecraft, so Iām sensing a video game character trend here. Donāt get me wrong, Iām a sucker for Joel from The Last Of Us, but this is a new level.Ā
Voldemort
He Who Must Not Be Named takes the cake (no pun intended) as one of the funnier āhear me outsā Iāve seen. But this video only gets wilder from there, with Mr. Burns, Bowser, and Leo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.Ā
Michael Myers
I know it’s spooky season, but Micheal Meyers is not an easy āhear me outā to get on board with. Ghostface, on the other hand? Thatās another story.
Megamind
Megamind strikes again, but then again, Gargamel also gets a mention, so this all tracks.
WaluigiĀ
I understood where this creator was coming from with Danny Phantom, but she really lost me with Waluigi.Ā
John Doe from RobloxĀ
John Doe from Roblox was one I never could have seen coming, but listening to this creator trying to get her friends to see it for almost a minute straight was genuinely hilarious. I guess thereās just something about him?Ā
Dr. Phil
This video isnāt the traditional style of the āhear me outā videos, but I had to include it anyway. If you look closely at this one, youāll find Dr. Phil, Megamind, and Mr. Clean all part of it. Someone likes their men without hair. Valid!
The Quaker Oats GuyĀ
There is no other āhear me out cakeā like this one. From Isaac Newton, to the Quaker Oats Guy, this is my favorite by far. Gotta love a man in a wig!Ā
