If you’ve watched YouTube videos over the past decade, you might have seen a hilarious video featuring a man and his “talking” dog in a playful skit. The video, Ultimate Dog Tease, was uploaded to YouTube ten years ago and has attracted over 205 million views.
In the video, the dog’s “owner” teases him by describing a variety of tasty foods he found in the refrigerator’s “meat drawer.” The owner humorously talks about “maple-flavored bacon” and a “juicy steak” that he ate—all while the dog listens eagerly. As the conversation progresses, the dog whines in frustration when he realizes he can’t have any delicious treats.
To add to the dog’s disappointment, the owner says he made “something really special” by combining chicken, cheese, and cat treats. The dog’s excitement builds as he responds with a hopeful “Yeah? And?” But the punchline comes when the owner reveals that he gave the food to his cat instead! The video hilariously ends with the dog dramatically shouting, “Nooooo!”
The Story Behind the Viral Sensation
Although the dog doesn’t talk, the video’s charm has captivated millions of viewers. Its creator, Andrew Grantham, became an internet sensation with the clip, which he titled Clark the Talking Dog. In an interview with the Toronto Star in 2011, Grantham mentioned that he hadn’t originally intended to make the video that night. However, he stumbled upon footage of Clark posted by the dog’s owner and decided to add his creative touch.
The result was internet history. Within two weeks of its release in 2011, Ultimate Dog Tease had 20 million views. Today, that number has skyrocketed to over 205 million, showing no sign of slowing down.
This viral video remains one of YouTube’s most beloved clips and continues to bring laughter to new audiences daily.
