Baby’s first hibachi? New TikTok trend shows stunned babies ‘glitching’ at chef’s show
Babies are “glitching” at the fire portion of a hibachi dinner, and TikTok users are saying their reactions “never disappoint.”
A new trend, labeled as baby’s first hibachi, has taken TikTok by storm with parents capturing the moment their child witnesses the flames up close and personal.
On Feb. 22, user @Kendrajfrost took to the app where she showed her firstly curious, then completely frightened son, according to the video that’s been seen over 1.7 million times as of Feb. 28.
Commenters were laughing at the video and had some very valid questions, with one person saying, “WHY DID HE VIBRATE.”
Others commended the little guy, with one person saying, “Honestly, he did a great job at self-regulation.”
User @Coffeeebeann__ took to the app to show her daughter, gnawing on a pacifier, before the fire had her clutching “her pearls,” according to the Feb. 24 video that’s been seen over 42 million times.
Users let the poster know that her experience was one “kids at the daycare” won’t believe, with one person saying, “IN ALL MY 1 YEARS.”
The mesmerized baby took a break from teething as her eyes were glued to the sight, while dramatic music played in the background.
User @Montanakarr said in a Feb. 26 TikTok post that her baby’s Hibachi was a “great sensory experience.”
The smiley baby soon sees the gates of “hell,” grabbing the person next to them after trembling, the video showed.
A sleepy little guy “canceled his yawn” after the fire show began, according to a Feb. 22 video posted by @Nishalysoto.
Users took the comments to share how the show “took the boredom right outta him,” with one person saying, “he was in the middle of a good yawn too!”
“Scared the yawn right out of him,” one wrote.
“Baby was like “boriiiinnngggg!!!! WAIT!!!! WT…..” another wrote.
Although the comedy gold comes at the cost of these babies contemplating their life — the entire 6 months of it — users can’t get enough.
Manywere in agreement that although they don’t know how they ended up on this side of TikTok, they “don’t skip a single video.”
