A Cuban announced the sale of a property in Guanabacoa, Havana, and ended up conquering TikTok without intending to. The user @williamcampesino posted a tour of a house for sale in the town of Arango, priced at $12,000, but what no one expected was the real star of the video: an audio so distorted that his voice sounded more like an intergalactic android than a property seller.
The clip, lasting one minute and 38 seconds, showcases the living room, the bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, the terrace, and a yard with fruit trees — avocado, guava, plantain, mamey, and French grapes. The house comes furnished, with three water tanks and even includes an air conditioner.
The problem is that at several points in the video, the phone's microphone turned every word into an extraterrestrial radio signal. The creator's voice came across so distorted and metallic that the comments quickly exploded.
The video accumulated over 461,600 views, 60,700 likes, and nearly 30,000 shares, figures that make it one of the most entertaining phenomena in the Cuban community on TikTok in several weeks.
The comments section turned into a contest of creativity. The most popular, with 20,100 likes, was simply an image of a metallic sci-fi robot with the text "the realtor:". The creator themselves replied with a string of laughing emojis.
Others didn't fall behind. "Imagine buying a house for Optimus Prime," wrote someone, receiving 7,222 likes. There were also those who asked, "Who is behind the screen? ChatGPT?"
Several users admitted to urgently checking their own devices. "I just bought a new pair of headphones, and I got scared thinking they were already broken," one person confessed. Another mentioned that with that video, he had now seen three that "sounded the same" and was starting to doubt his headphones.
A comment in English summed up the general sentiment: "The guy is sending a message from the mothership." And someone else, with musical nostalgia, recalled the song Mr. Roboto by the band Styx, to which the creator replied calmly, "That's the hook when we signed the contract."
When asked if the house was on Mars, @williamcampesino didn't back down: "In the best municipality in all of Cuba: Guanabacoa, let's gather." And when someone suggested he sell quickly to buy a new phone, the response was firm: "I have an XR, tell me something."
The creator acknowledged the issue without drama: "It's just that I don't have a good microphone, sorry." But to those who continued to complain about the sound, he had the final word: "What matters is the house."
This video adds to a trend that already has several viral chapters on TikTok: Cubans showcasing properties for sale in a completely homemade way, without an agency or production, and ultimately captivating the audience not just because of the house, but for everything surrounding the video.
