About
Bakutoe or I Was Busy Thinkin' 'Bout Bakutoe refers to a viral video in which a TikToker dressed in Kirishima from My Hero Academia cosplay sucks on a pacifier as a portion of "Boys" by Charli XCX plays, then takes the pacifier out and lip dubs what sounds like "Bakutoe" in a childish voice, which has been edited into the song. "Bakutoe" is likely a reference to the character Bakugo. The video was originally posted by TikToker @jax._.here as early as February 2021 and deleted sometime after. Since then, the video has been reposted and referenced in memes numerous times, often as a cringe video. In 2024, a reupload of the video's original audio saw a resurgence in popularity on TikTok.
