You know how every dog has their thing? Some live for playing fetch, while others love a long walk. Then there’s Basie, a Bulldog, who’s perfected the art of watching TV, as can be seen in this video. His idea of a good time is curling up on the couch with some snacks and a great show.
The thing is, sometimes a TV show gets so good, even a tasty treat can’t compete. That’s what happens in a hilarious throwback clip, where Basie becomes so engrossed in the plot that he actually forgets he was munching on Cheez-It. With his zoned-in gaze and poker face, he’s become the star of a funny moment without even trying.
Bulldog forgets to snack on Cheez-It as he’s immersed in watching a show in video
The video of the Bulldog has already received over 5K likes. It begins with Basie sitting on a couch, watching TV. He’s so still that if he weren’t blinking, you’d swear he was a statue. But the best part is that as the person filming comes in closer, there it is — a Cheez-It wedged between his pursed lips.
He’s indeed frozen mid-snack, completely oblivious to the fact that he never finished chewing. The onscreen text says, “When the show is so good you forgot you were also snacking.” His expression is absolutely priceless, a mix of intense focus and total snack-induced trance.
Bulldogs are known for their calm and placid nature. They are often quite stubborn, too, which might explain Basie’s statue-like stillness. His single-minded focus on the television screen is a great example of his breed’s personality. He seems to be in a world of his own.
The owner’s caption adds to the humor of the moment. She says that he was “just saving that snack for later!” The comments section loved it too, with fans chiming in with remarks like, “Basie definitely has the Fresh Prince vibe going on,” and “I love that face!” Basie’s little moment with his Cheez-It has become internet gold. After all, who hasn’t gotten so hooked on a TV show that they forgot everything else?
