The pandemic has created a whole new sub-genre of viral internet videos.

With many still working from home, it seems like we’re constantly seeing hilarious clips of wacky things like: children invading conference calls, cats sticking their butts in front of webcams, and all sorts of virtual background mishaps.

Remember that attorney who couldn’t change his filter from making himself look like a cat? 😂

The video below shows a man losing his damn mind after a wild squirrel breaks into his home office via the chimney, and I can’t get enough of it.

He screams, shakes a bat, and even jumps up on his desk like he’s a woman in an old-timey film afraid of a tiny mouse.

I guess he could have been scared that the squirrel was rabid, but damn man, chill out! Dude acted like a mountain lion had broken through his office window and not a 1-pound practically harmless rodent. 😂

If only we had the view of the other people that were on that conference call with him. They must have thought his life was actually in danger, but I would have loved to see their reactions once he told them it was just a squirrel.
