Nickelodeon had Twitter talking Friday after sharing a remix to Justin Bieber’s recent single “Yummy.”
The children’s television network — once home to such classics as “Blues Clues,” “Drake and Josh” and “Zoey 101” — shared a clip of a pink-haired boy in a pink hoodie entering a lunch room. He sits down and begins to sing reworked lyrics of Justin Bieber’s song “Yummy.”
The remixed version focuses on the school lunch lady and her “yummy” meals that she shares with the students. The Bieber-impersonator raps about his “Dino nuggets” and how the lunch lady “slides an extra chicken patty on my bun.”
He says the lunch lady “puts in time for my pudding time.”
See the clip below.
The clip appears to promote a new episode of “All That” — a live sketch comedy show — for this Saturday.
Social media slammed Nickelodeon and the clip for being beneath what Nickelodeon used to be. Many referenced previous “Nickelodeon” shows, highlighting the difference between the current era and eras long gone.
Justin Bieber originally wrote the song about his wife, Hailey Bieber. According to Genius, the song is a reference to “a term used to describe something or someone that you find very attractive or appealing.”
