If there’s one thing the internet keeps proving, it’s that trends only work when your star participant is remotely interested. And Pino — the cute Corgi scene-stealer from the Instagram handle @pino.the.corgi — has absolutely zero interest in becoming holiday-themed artwork.
The video opens with a long sheet of Christmas wrapping paper stretched down the hallway like a budget photo studio, and Brian, his very patient human, sitting there ready with a camera. In theory, this trend is simple: your dog bursts through the paper; you get a festive glamour shot. But from the look Pino gives the setup, you already know the theory is about to fall apart.
Corgi is too bored to participate in the viral Christmas trend
Pino is too cool for school, and over 7,600 viewers have loved Pino’s total rejection of the rules. What makes the whole thing even funnier is that Brian starts by showing how the trend is supposed to look — smooth, satisfying, and very photogenic. Other dogs charge through their wrapping paper like tiny snowplow models. Meanwhile, their short king stands off to the side observing the entire operation like a supervisor who has no plans to help. The on-screen text sums it up perfectly: this looks easy… until your dog is a Corgi.
Brian tapes the paper to the walls with the kind of earnest dedication usually reserved for school projects. Pino watches politely, mind clearly elsewhere. When Brian cuts a tiny hole for him to poke his head through, Pino just stares at him instead — then gives a slow, unnecessary wink that reads like, “Watch me ruin your day.” And of course, he does. Every time Brian resets the paper, Pino slips under it instead of through it. He treats the bottom edge like a personal portal. “I is snaky,” the text jokes, and honestly, it fits.
Eventually, boredom takes over, and Pino solves the problem the only way a determined little herding dog knows how: he rips the whole sheet apart. The captions flash “I destroy,” “sory,” and “corgo bored” while Brian just sits there in quiet defeat. Their “only photo” — Pino peeking through a crooked hole — is hilariously off-trend, which is exactly why people love it. One even said, “This is the most Corgi thing I’ve ever seen.”
