A boy’s haircut inspired by a cynical character on “The Simpsons” went viral on TikTok, and left his mom half-wondering if she made a mistake.

“Am I a bad mum for letting my son cut his hair like Mr. Burns? TikToker Johanna Clark joked, sharing a video of her son imitating the iconic character with his new haircut.

“I hope my future son is this funny and if he’s not I don’t want him,” one commenter said on her video, which has racked up over 7 million views as of Aug. 25.

“He loves it,” Clark told her viewers. “Made his year.”

Her son’s haircut is identical to Mr. Burns’ style, down to the clean-shaven head and even his green shirt.

Clark, who works as a jeweler, hinted that she cut the hair herself.

Some commenters had reservations about the new style but most shared their support with a chuckle.

“Looks like an excellent time for new passport photos,” someone joked.
