What if the world’s next great masterpiece was painted using a dog’s tongue and a little bit of peanut butter? Turns out, this video has the answer — and it’s even messier (and funnier) than you’d expect. It opens under string lights, and the “artist” of the evening is already stealing the show. There she is — Pancake, the English Bulldog — lounging in Dad’s arms with the self-importance of someone about to paint a masterpiece. Her mom beams proudly beside her, holding up a sealed painting bag.
The text reads, “We took Pancake to a painting class,” and suddenly, everything makes sense. According to the account @thebabypancake, what Van Gogh did with color, Pancake apparently does with peanut butter.

Understandably, over 9,000 people agree that Pancake’s ‘Peanut Butter Expressionism’ deserves a spot in an art gallery. The video rewinds to show the true creative process: Pancake waddling into the workshop like she owns the studio. She supervises color selection, sniffs every paint tube for quality control, and watches as her human assistant preps the canvas. A volunteer carefully seals the masterpiece-in-progress inside a clear bag — because, well, Pancake’s “brush” of choice is her tongue.
Once the peanut butter hits the surface, the magic begins. Pancake licks, swirls, and presses with full-bodied commitment, creating a masterpiece titled “Ode to Peanut Butter.” Her mom crouches beside her, giggling while the volunteer cheers on the artist at work.
She eventually steps back from her ‘work,’ and you know what? It actually looks intentional — in the best way. Pancake’s parents are thoroughly impressed, proclaiming, “This belongs in the Louvre.” The video ends with Pancake’s smug little face next to her ‘masterpiece,’ as the text declares, “Critics will eventually understand the brilliance.”
Commenters, though, already do. “MOMA is calling,” one wrote. Another said, “Pancake Da Vinci!” And someone else summed it up best: “What do you mean eventually? We already know she’s brilliant.”
