Who lives in a pineapple in 4kHD? SpongeBob SquarePants. Whose hyper-realistic creation is horrifying to see? Also, SpongeBob SquarePants… and his band of aquatic pals thanks to one TikTok artist taking hyper-realistic art to new, terrifying heights.

The answer, it seems, puts those extreme close-ups to shame.
