Hear us out, it isn’t as dodgy as it sounds.
Yes, you read that right, a TikTok star has made it onto America’s Got Talent (AGT) for having ‘the best mouth on the internet’.
Shayne Boyle, who goes by 'Insane Shayne' online, appeared on the NBC talent show on Tuesday night (July 16).
Boyle is well known on TikTok for two things - yelling ‘blue 42’ and making insane catches, oftentimes with his mouth.

The TikToker and YouTube star brought his insane skill to AGT along with his two million combined social media followers, and wowed the judges.
His moniker of ‘the best mouth on the internet’ followed to his audition, where he modestly only suggested that he had ‘the best mouth on TikTok’.
During his audition, he caught marshmallows thrown from lengthy distances, in one case even being thrown from the rafters at the top of the theater.
This was followed by AGT host Terry Crews and another friend of Shayne’s doing a football style gauntlet in which he rapidly turned from side to side catching and spitting out marshmallows thrown from either direction.
Unsurprisingly, the crowd went wild, and more than that, the judges loved it - with Boyle getting yeses from all four.
Simon Cowell said: "What I loved about this was, you just weren't expecting this."
The post went viral on TikTok, receiving over a million likes in just a day.
One fan commented: “Never in a million years did I think I would see shayne on agt!”
Another said: “I watched the episode and Simon was literally on his feet and smiling ear to ear. All the judges loved it.”
A third praised: “We can all make fun, but this guy is RAW talent.”
This was to join the seemingly endless comments of ‘the best mouth on the internet!’
While majority of the praise was for his catching, there was a small subsection of the comments focusing on another impressive aspect.
One person noted: “The man with the throws on point aswell!”
Another commented on the clip on Instagram saying: “Nobody talking about the throw tho!”
Regardless Boyle will have to find more ways to bring his acts to new heights, as his four yeses means he will be brought back for the next round.
If you ask me, he should’ve gotten the golden buzzer because he undoubtably has ‘the best mouth on the internet’.
