The Weirdest Parodies Of Drake's "Hotline Bling"

by Kristie Rohwedder

I almost ruined an entire pot of ravioli last night, and it’s all Aubrey Graham's fault. But you know what? It would've been worth it. Allow me to set the scene: It was a Monday evening. I was minding my own business while I cooked dinner. After I dropped the cheese-filled pasta in the water, I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through Twitter. That’s when I saw the big news: Drake's "Hotline Bling" music video was out. I switched over to my phone’s web browser and typed in “drake hotline bling” into the YouTube search bar. Just as I was about to click the link to the official video, something else caught my eye. And that something is titled “Drake hotline bling ( Sponge Bob parody).”

I did what any self-respecting human would do in such a situation: I watched the SpongeBob SquarePants “Hotline Bling” video on repeat. During the eighth viewing, I snapped out of the trance. The ravioli. I rushed over to the stove and saw that the water was just about to boil over. I frantically turned off the burner, drained the water out of the pan, and waited for the not-overcooked (WHEW) ravioli to cool. That was close.

As I noshed on the not-overcooked ravioli, I got back to business: I watched every "Hotline Bling" parody video I could find. I bookmarked the weirdest of the weird "Hotline Bling" parody videos. And now, I will share the weirdest of the weird "Hotline Bling" parody videos.

The SpongeBob SquarePants

This is the video that almost cost me my dinner.

The High School Musical

This took my breath away.

The Dancing Skeleton

BRB, gotta go learn those sweet moves.

The Call Me On My Shellphone

Another SpongeBob video? You know it!

The Harry Potter

It's... it's just... It's so BEAUTIFUL. The #DrakeIsAlwaysOnBeat hashtag really is the gift that keeps on giving.
