Overview

"I Like You Have A Cupcake" is an audio meme pulled from a scene in Disney's animated series Fish Hooks, where the character Albert Glass passes out birthday cupcakes to his classmates. He repeats the title phrase to each fish, groans uncomfortably at one he can't stand, then keeps going down the row as if she doesn't exist2.

Creators use the audio as a lip-dub format on TikTok, pairing each "I like you" line with something they want to boost and dropping the groan on whatever they're roasting. A spinoff sound called "Smack My Ass Like A Drum" splices the same dialogue with a track by rapper CupcakKe3.

How It Spread

Beauty creator James Charles caught the sound early, posting a ranking of his own past looks on July 29th that hit over 14 million views inside two weeks4. By August 11th, 2021, the sound had powered more than 650,000 TikTok videos3. TikToker @climbingwithb00bs pulled around 17 million views with a July 30th climbing-hold video, and Bryce Hall drew 6.7 million on August 3rd roasting his old "train track" eyebrow phase5.

The trend held through the rest of August with thirst-list versions reacting to animated casts like Alvin and the Chipmunks or the Penguins of Madagascar5. The CupcakKe spinoff peaked late that month when TikToker @mistermainer posted their dog seemingly lip-dubbing the audio, close to 30 million views in four days5.

How to Use This Meme

Line up three or four images or clips against the audio, letting each "I like you, have a cupcake" line roll over the picks a creator wants to boost and the groan hit whatever they're calling out. The template often features past hairstyles, past exes, fictional love interests, or ranked versions of the same character across a franchise.
