We all had some rogue crushes growing up, and now one TikTok trend is giving people a free pass to expose themselves - but one of our own maybe took it a little too far.
The ‘hear me out’ trend has TikTokers confessing their secret attraction to characters that will either have people nodding in agreement or side-eyeing in absolute disbelief.
Well, NZ Paralympian Tupou Neiufi had the shock of her life when her mate Lani pulled out a pic of her dad while filming the TikTok video.
Lani risked it all by slipping a picture of Tupou’s dad alongside some wild contenders like the Teletubbies' vacuum, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and B1 & B2.
A fit of awkward laughter broke out as Tupou ripped out her old man’s pic and threw it across the room.
Commenters found it equally as hilarious as Lani, with one writing: “This is the best hear me out cake I’ve seen 😂.”
“The way u THREW IT 😭😭,” added another.
A third said: “No, coz go home and repent 😭💀,” before Tupou replied: “Did you read that Lanz? What they said HAHAHA.”
Others reckon the other crushes are legit - and y’all are freaky for that!
“Clifford is so real,” said one commenter.
Another agreed: “This cake is my kinda cake in a weird way. I can see why for all of them … but dad, lmao 🤣🤣.”
Thank gawd Tupou cleared up it was all "just a joke", and her bestie isn't actually after her old man.
I think it’s agreed across the board to maybe leave your mate’s dad well alone… but shot Lani for the crack-ups!
