Like many, this Golden Retriever puppy isn’t a fan of broccoli, and he is making sure to let the veggie know his dislike in a funny video. The hilarious clip won netizens’ hearts, garnering more than 26.5K views and 1,819 likes. In the Instagram Reel, Otis has a one-on-one with a piece of broccoli, with the caption noting that the cruciferous vegetable “strikes again.”
The video began with a voiceover stating the pup’s inner thoughts that he doesn’t like the way the broccoli is looking at him. He proceeded to chomp it down, spitting it out after exclaiming, “EW.” The Golden Retriever was then left questioning what that even is, letting his mom know that the green vegetable isn’t to be trusted. Moreover, Otis repeated the same to his parent multiple times to make his case crystal clear.
He hilariously said that the broccoli was “bad juju,” with the pup not happy with his mom for putting it “right in front of my face.” Then, the Golden Retriever proceeded to shred the vegetable into pieces, warning it to “stay away” from his family. Otis also threatened the veggie, saying, “I’ll rip you to pieces.”
The pup told his mom that he doesn’t think he likes it one bit, warning her: “Don’t you dare put that down.” After being left with “no choice,” the Golden Retriever switched on his guard dog mode. He ended the video exclaiming, “I’m gonna protect this family at all costs.”
Netizens found the puppy’s reaction to broccoli hilarious. A user showed support, joking, “Don’t trust it, it will give you gas.” Another wrote, “That broccoli has main villain energy and Otis knows it.” A viewer also called the veggie the “tree of doom,” referencing a previous video of Otis that went viral.
