TikTokers Lose It After Chili's Robot Rolls Up To Their Table And Starts Singing 'Happy Birthday'

Imagine you're out to dinner at a restaurant with a few friends or family members. Everyone has gathered for your birthday.

Imagine you've already had your meal and it's time for last drinks, coffees, and dessert.


Imagine restaurant staff coming up to the table to sing "Happy Birthday" to you and your group.

Is anyone in your imaginary scenario a robot?

Probably not, but if you happen to celebrate your birthday at Chili's then there's a small chance you might find yourself getting serenaded by Rita.

As in Rita the Robot.

TikTok user @allllllllllywestttttttt - named Ally - found herself unexpectedly staring down a singing robot after her meal at one of the 50+ Chili's locations that have a Rita the Robot.

Ally and her group weren't aware of Rita before it came rolling up to their table to serenade the squad, which lead to some pretty interesting reactions among the group.

And TikTok users, who were honestly not that into Rita... though some tried to look on the bright side.

Especially when people noticed she rolled up to the table with no cake or other dessert for the birthday guest.

So we got awkward singing, a traumatic robot scare, a robot that sounds like Barbie ... and no dessert?

TikTok is not having it.

What about you?

How would you feel about having a robot sing Happy Birthday to you at a restaurant rather than having servers come to your table to sing?

Would the lack of cake make this better or worse for you?

Meghan McCain Mocked For Seemingly Just Realizing That MAGA Wants Women To Stay Home And Raise Kids

Former The View co-host Meghan McCain was widely mocked after complaining about MAGA conservatives' "harsh views" about women who don't want children—prompting many to wonder if she's been paying any attention at all.

McCain's remarks come as conservatives increasingly encourage women, particularly younger women, to prioritize motherhood. Several women tied to the administration, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller—wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller—and Second Lady Usha Vance, have recently spoken publicly about their pregnancies.

Reverend Jesse Jackson’s iconic “I Am Somebody” declaration once again resonated with audiences of all ages when Sesame Street revisited a 1972 episode featuring the civil rights leader reciting the poem with young viewers.

He wears a purple, white, and black striped shirt and a gold medallion bearing a high-relief profile of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a tribute resting squarely over his heart.

RFK Jr. Posts Bonkers Video Working Out Shirtless In Jeans With Kid Rock—And The Internet Can't

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had people rolling their eyes after he shared his new "Rock Out Work Out" video promoting the Make America Healthy Again (MAGA) movement that features him and far-right singer Kid Rock working out shirtless and hanging out together.

At one point during the oddball video, the two men are shown drinking whole milk in a pool, a decision that follows the release of new federal dietary guidelines under the Trump administration that encourage consumption of full-fat dairy. Kennedy has even previously shared a video of himself drinking a glass of whole milk as a flex, footage that was amplified by the White House.
