Dalmatian’s Hilarious Showdown With Talking Cactus Toy Goes Viral
Rupert the Dalmatian isn’t quite sure what to make of a dancing and talking cactus toy that repeats everything he says. In a hilarious video shared by his mom, TikTokker Kimbo (@kimbo4112), Rupert barks at the toy, only for it to bark right back at him.
Intrigued and confused, Rupert experiments with different sounds—growling, barking faster, whining—only to have the cactus light up and mimic him every time. With his tail swishing and his eyes locked on the toy, he looks like he’s piecing together the mystery. It’s almost as if he’s wondering whether the toy is teasing him. Watching him, Kimbo can’t help but laugh as she films the adorable scene.
The clip has gone viral, racking up over 6 million views. Viewers are just as amused as Rupert’s family. One person joked, “Best conversation ever.” Kimbo replied, “We were very entertained.”
Another viewer observed, “He is so confused.” Kimbo confirmed, “He really was.”
And one fan even imagined Rupert’s thoughts: “Rupert: I said stop copying me. It’s not funny, I’m serious.” Kimbo laughed back, “Yep, and then he has me laughing at him.”
The Sanjoin Dancing Talking Cactus Toy is available on Amazon.
