Is 'Skull Chef ASMR' A Ripoff Of 'SmallCreek Skull Chef?'

While Skull Chef ASMR's content may seem unique and original, some viewers are calling the creator out for copying the work of TikToker SmallCreek, aka @smallcreek_skullchefog. SmallCreek began hosting TikTok LIVE streams with the exact same skeleton puppet back in May 2023, predating Skull Chef ASMR by five months. In these streams, SmallCreek stirs a pot of wood soup and interacts with chatters, just like Skull Chef ASMR.

SmallCreek has garnered a similarly substantial following to Skull Chef ASMR throughout 2023, with over 900,000 followers on TikTok. As Skull Chef ASMR becomes increasingly popular, SmallCreek fans have been calling him out for ripping off SmallCreek. SmallCreek has also become aware of this and even posted a video speaking to the importance of supporting the original artist and denouncing copycats and plagiarists.

Many viewers, however, still seem unaware of this fact as Skull Chef ASMR continues to grow more and more popular.
