A Cuban man announced the sale of a property located in Guanabacoa, Havana, and unexpectedly became a TikTok sensation. User @williamcampesino shared a video tour of a house for sale in the town of Arango, priced at $12,000. However, the real star of the video turned out to be a heavily distorted audio track, making his voice sound more like an intergalactic android than a property seller.
The one minute and 38-second clip showcases the living room, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, terrace, and a backyard filled with fruit trees—avocado, guava, plantain, mamey, and French grape. The house is sold furnished, complete with three water tanks and even an air conditioning unit.
The issue arose when the phone's microphone transformed his words into something akin to extraterrestrial radio signals. His voice was so distorted and metallic that the comments section quickly exploded with reactions.
The video garnered over 461,600 views, 60,700 likes, and nearly 30,000 shares, making it one of the most amusing entertainment phenomena within the Cuban TikTok community in recent weeks.
The comments section turned into a creativity contest. The most popular comment, with 20,100 likes, was simply an image of a science fiction metal robot with the caption "the realtor:". The creator himself responded with a string of laughing emojis.
Others joined in on the fun. "Imagine buying a house from Optimus Prime," wrote one user, earning 7,222 likes. Some even questioned, "Who's behind the screen? ChatGPT?"
Many users confessed to urgently checking their own devices. "I just bought new headphones, and I got scared thinking they're already broken," admitted one. Another noted that the video was the third they had seen "sounding the same," prompting doubts about their earphones.
A comment in English summed up the general sentiment: "The guy is sending a message from the mothership." Another user, with a nod to music nostalgia, recalled the song Mr. Roboto by Styx, to which the creator calmly replied, "That's the hook when we sign the contract."
When asked if the house was located on Mars, @williamcampesino confidently replied, "In the best municipality in all of Cuba: Guanabacoa, take shelter." And when someone suggested he sell quickly to buy a new phone, he responded firmly, "I have an XR, tell me something."
The creator acknowledged the sound issue without drama: "I just don't have a good microphone, sorry." Yet to those still complaining about the audio, he had the final word: "What's important is the house."
This video adds to a growing trend of viral TikTok chapters where Cubans showcase homes for sale in a completely homemade manner, without any agency or production, capturing the internet's attention not for the property itself, but for everything surrounding the video.
