A must-see, life-altering event.
zaem93-910-5381026 September 2016
To begin, I will say after watching this video I was left questioning the very fabric of reality. What does it mean to be good? What does it mean to be? What does 'it' mean?

Does?

Society seems to be at a tipping point in terms of the questionable objectiveness of what is right and wrong and how we can determine the veracity of a moral argument. This production tackles huge controversial issues from a perspective that exists outside of human thought processes, yet maintains it's relationship with the average viewer. Whilst being layered with a variety of differing emotions that at times conflict with one another but also intertwine and unravel near the film's climax, the ending definitely satisfies on many platitudes and clearly validate the core premise.

Since witnessing this amazing piece of art, I have donated all of my belongings to the homeless, abandoned my family and plan to travel to the Himalayas to truly reflect on what life is, and what it means to be part of the human experience.

Praise Frank, may his filthiness prevail over all.

RIP Harambe.

A Superb Satire on Modern Entertainment
nimaasaberhaigen29 August 2016
First off, I should say that I have little to no faith that what has been created here's potential cultural significance was done intentionally. It's entirely possible that the entire concept was performed with no meaning in mind. Although, I sincerely hope that isn't the case and that these men (or at least one of them) are geniuses.

That having been said, a more nauseating ritual in honor of depravity and celebrity has not, to my knowledge been created. This creation, wherein is metaphorically revealed the end game of the subconscious idolatry practiced as a consequence of ignorance, reflects a deviation from logical morality so acute that it exemplifies modern acclamation to perversion in every manifestation.

A masterpiece of epic proportions
biglebowski79005 October 2016
The first word that comes to mind when i think of human cake is "WOW". This is easily the best short film of all time and the best ending to a trilogy since the good the bad and the ugly. The story takes place in realm 3856 about 80,000 chromosomes ago where the holy trinity of youtube (filthy frank, idubbbz and maxmoefoe) set out to create the greatest cake of all time.

The main cast is simply amazing, along with plenty of cameos and spit facts. There are so many iconic moments such as the part where they eat the cake and the part where they vomit. But behind the vomit is a deeper meaning. The film is a metaphor for the pointlessness of life and the idea that god has abandoned us. It really shines a light on idubbbz and the meaning behind his immortal quote, "i have crippling depression".In this sense the film is very reminiscent of the song "wake me up" by evanescence.

If i could give this more than 10 stars i would. It's better than mildly adequate, it's pretty good.

Absolute madness

Few YouTubers are as disgusting, offensive, and shocking as Filthy Frank, and yet few are nearly as good. Even when Frank's content seems almost impossible to watch due to its horrific ickiness, he still gets millions of views, mainly because he and his friends manage to be hilarious and entertaining no matter how shocking what they're doing may be. Human Cake is possibly the most ridiculously revolting video on Filthy Frank's YouTube channel,

Its concept is so vile that it sounds absolutely unwatchable, and dangerously close to literal cannibalism, but it's also hilarious in its own sick way, and Filthy Frank and friends love finding the humor in this type of material.

In the video, Filthy Frank, idubbbz, and maxmoefoe gather toe nails, pubic hair, anal hair, etc. from a few other highly popular YouTubers, who range from music critic/meme reviewer Anthony Fantano to the extremely popular letsplayer Pewdiepie. Then, they use these materials as ingredients for a gross cake which they proceed to bake and eat. The results are insane, depraved, and amusingly absurd.

A lot of the vomiting is a little too much for my taste, and I found myself nearly throwing up myself while watching the video, but I was able to find enjoyment in the cleverness and comedic genius of the three main personalities, especially idubbbz. idubbbz is easily one of my favorite YouTubers, because of his wit and his ability to be highly offensive and never hold back. Also, there are many great little moments throughout the video that are more than just shock humor, for example, the scene featuring Vsauce is made hilarious due to its brilliant awkwardness and strangeness.

So, yeah, I just legitimately reviewed a 20 minute video where a bunch of men eat a cake with pubic hair in it...

Jackass without the danger aspect

Warning: Spoilers
"Human Cake" is a 22.5-minute live action video that was released in early August and it says a lot about our (online) society that a film like this racks up 5 million views in 2 months approximately. The story can be summarized quickly. A couple guys bake a cake including all kinds of atrocities, such as pee and pubic hair and eat it afterward (do they really? maybe it's all fake, I would not be surprised) and of course they throw up. Heard stuff like that before? That's right. These guys are the poor non-daring version of the Jackass crew apparently. The director and one of the writers is George Miller and even if it is an Australian production, he has nothing to do with the guy who made "Mad Max". But back to this one here. I already wrote earlier that it may all be fake and the fact that this video includes known scam artist JoeySalads makes it even more likely. What else is there to say. Oh yeah, the camera work is really bad too and honestly I cannot see anybody here have a respectable or long career in the industry judging from what I saw here. And even if the rating here on IMDb has clearly been vote-stuffed (9.9 by over a 1,000 voters), I must say stay far far away from this piece of garbage. If you have no talent, you need to try to get attention via disgusting and shocking publicity stunts. From that perspective, the gang clearly succeeded. But it has nothing to do with art or satire no matter how hard you try to see it in here.
