If you want to go viral, there are a number of ways, but some come more highly recommended than others.

A surefire way to lose friends and alienate people is to share your pets’ everyday antics with the world, but then again, your pets probably aren’t as skilled at playing dead as Nico du Toit’s.

He uploaded a video of his two bulldogs, Sophia and Ollie, a few weeks back, and it’s blown up in a very big way.

The video comes with a rather blunt description:

These little fuckers are too clever for their own good. Laughed so much I’m crying…

There were no laughing cry face’ emojis used, and we thank you for that, Nico.

Let’s see the pooches in action:

Safe to say the pooches let the ball slip around the one-minute mark, when the promise of a snack was thrown around, but props for the commitment that followed that blunder.

In a follow-up post from last Thursday, when the video had just 418 000 views, Nico wasn’t sure how to handle the fame:

Sweet baby cheeses you guys! I posted this random bulldog video a couple of days ago and the fucker went viral! Like befok! I’ve never felt more sorry for a Kardashian in my life. Make it stop. Jirre.

No word on how the hounds are handling what will soon be six million views, but I reckon Nico should get them on Ellen, which will more than cover any damages they might have caused.
