Robert Anderson, born in 1987 or 1988, is an American internet personality and comedian from New York City. He gained prominence through his TikTok account (@Heartthrobert), which he launched in late 2019. Anderson’s early viral content included a parody of Charlotte Awbery’s performance of “Shallow” and a popular video about granola bars “going everywhere” in 2020. This success led to his signing with United Talent Agency. His career expanded with the creation of the “Gay Science” series, which humorously examines LGBTQ+ stereotypes using a scientific lens. This series began in 2020 with a video on gay men’s preference for iced coffee. He also engaged with traditional media by competing in the reality competition series “Capture” in 2013 and hosting “Glam Slam” on WOW Presents Plus with Monét X Change.
Anderson’s comedic approach often involves deconstructing and recapping plots of 1990s movies and TV shows, such as “Beethoven,” “The Princess Diaries,” and “7th Heaven.” His March 2023 recaps of “7th Heaven” significantly broadened his online audience. In July 2023, his video explaining Mama Bear from “The Berenstain Bears” as an “almond mom” also achieved viral status. In 2024, Anderson released his book, “Gay Science: The Totally Scientific Examination of LGBTQ+ Culture, Myths, and Stereotypes,” published by Penguin Random House. This humor publication, styled as a satirical textbook, debuted at number five on “The New York Times” Hardcover Nonfiction bestseller list.
His cultural commentary extends to contemporary events, exemplified by his “Pope Games” coverage of the 2025 Papal conclave, which framed the event as a reality TV competition. In late 2025, Anderson premiered his new stage show, “Are You Afraid of the ’90s?,” which satirizes 1990s pop culture. Following previews in New York, he embarked on a 28-city national tour for the show. As of September 2025, Anderson maintains a substantial online presence with approximately 0.825 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.5 million followers on Instagram.
