Cheesy Michael

TikToker @nnichetony began posting door-handle pranks targeting an unseen roommate called Cheesy Michael in November 2025—cookies, toilet paper, and eggs balanced so opening the door would smash them. Michael never appears on camera, fueling jokes that he might not exist.

The format exploded in late May 2026 when Tony's egg prank video paired the setup with a sung hook: "Cheesy Michael, open up the door," set to Sinking Town by Yoeko Kurahashi. That upload cleared 2.7 million views in a week and spawned cover videos, remixes, and reenactments through early June (including @rattlegoat's apple-door version at 2.2 million views).
