A Golden Retriever named Tilly has gone viral for sticking her tongue out and looking absolutely done with the situation in a hilarious Instagram video. Instagram user and Tilly’s owner, @thegoldentillybean, shows Tilly sitting in a sun-lit room with her tongue hanging straight out. Apparently, she is unable to pull it back in. The Golden Retriever’s expression alone makes the video amusing, but her owner added the ominous music track “Living in the Dark” by Myuu, which took the moment to another level.
Owner captures Golden Retriever getting her tongue stuck in video
The video opens with a close-up of the Golden Retriever’s face as she sits quietly, with her tongue dramatically drooping out of her mouth. She stares ahead with a look that is somewhere between irritated and betrayed, all while the eerie soundtrack plays in the background. The on‑screen caption notes how “she looks absolutely pissed i caught it on camera.”
Moreover, her owner added in the caption, “not her trying to put her tongue back in her mouth and it not working lol,” which just adds to the humor while Tilly gives a few confused licks as if she is trying to tuck her tongue back inside. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. And the longer it stays out, the more intense her side‑eye becomes.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of Tilly’s dramatic reaction. One person joked that it was her “most vulnerable moment,” while another wrote, “stop this is the cutest thing i’ve ever seen!!” Many Golden Retriever owners chimed in, too, saying the look on her face in the video was classic. Someone commented, “oh my goodness, she does!” while another noted, “What a goof.”
Tilly’s page has become a favorite for fans who enjoy her goofy, dramatic personality, and this video fits right in, but it seems like everyone agrees she was, in her own way, deeply offended that the camera was rolling.
