# The Muffin Song TomSka's cheerful cartoon muffin begging to be eaten first appeared in a 2013 asdfmovie short before growing into a full 2018 Schmoyoho music video. The song then exploded on TikTok through dub videos and a Jayden Croes remake that pulled millions of views, turning a death-wish jingle into a recurring TikTok sing-along between 2018 and 2020. ## Origin TomSka introduced the talking muffin in asdfmovie 7 on October 25, 2013, where a cartoon muffin cheerfully asked to be eaten[2]. The character returned in asdfmovie 8 on October 10, 2014 with the line "It's muffin time!" that fans turned into a recurring catchphrase. YouTuber RoomieOfficial released an "It's Muffin Time!" musical remix on November 4, 2014 that racked up tens of millions of views over the next four years. TomSka then expanded the bit into a full track with Schmoyoho, posting "THE MUFFIN SONG (asdfmovie feat. Schmoyoho)" on May 11, 2018[4]. The video pulled over 61 million views in its first seven months and set the template every later TikTok edit sampled from. - **Platform:** YouTube (asdfmovie) / TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell - **Date:** 2013 ## Overview The Muffin Song, also known as I Baked You A Pie, builds its comedy on the gap between an upbeat Schmoyoho-produced jingle and lyrics in which an anthropomorphic muffin begs the viewer to kill and eat him[1]. The visual is a smiling cartoon muffin tap-dancing through verses about pies and his own death wish, which is what gave the song its remix appeal. On TikTok, the track mostly moved through dub videos where users mimed the muffin's lines with exaggerated expressions, then through ironic duets that reacted to those dubs[3]. Instagram and YouTube meme accounts picked it up as a soundtrack for compilations, pairing the chirpy chorus with unrelated viral clips to amplify the dissonance between the sound and the subject. ## How to Use The common convention is to lip-sync or dub the muffin's lines directly to camera with wide-eyed expressions, often cutting to a reaction duet mid-song. Creators also typically drop the chorus over unrelated viral clips, letting the upbeat delivery clash with whatever is on screen. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is The Muffin Song?
