Internet Obsessed with Dog's Unusual Swimming Technique: 'No Notes'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Internet users can't get enough of a dog's unusual attempt at swimming, with some even touting him for Olympic glory one day. In a now viral TikTok post, user @oiuhoma shared a hilarious video of Gus eagerly running into the water for a swim. Once he actually reached the water, however, that's when all his natural sporting ability and prowess was forgotten. Rather than paddling through the water like most dogs, Gus instead chose to do his very own, rather unique, type of swimming. Indeed, he lay on the ground and used his back legs to shuffle along, while his front paws pretended to paddle. It may not serve him well in deeper water, but Gus certainly seemed to enjoy his little swim in Otter Cove at Acadia National Park in Maine. A stock image of a dog splashing around in water. A stock image of a dog splashing around in water. snowflock/Getty Images Since the video was shared on TikTok on August 9, it has delighted internet users who have lauded Gus's athleticism. The clip has gone viral with over 2.5 million views and more than 415,200 likes at the time of writing. After paddling along the ground, the TikTok video then shows Gus leaping around in the water and making plenty of splashes. While some dog breeds were born to swim and had working roles that required them to dive into the water without hesitation, not all breeds are natural swimmers. The American Kennel Club (AKC) highlights that Labrador Retrievers, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Irish Water Spaniels all love the water and they have the physical structures to make them excellent swimmers. Contrastingly, short-legged breeds or long-bodied dogs can struggle in the water due to their disproportionate size. Not every dog will be the Michael Phelps of the canine world (sorry, Gus), so the AKC suggests that a life vest and swimming lessons can ensure that they can at least get around safely in the water. Teaching them how to swim can be done in a pool, a lake, or the ocean. But owners should be vigilant and always start in shallow water while remaining close to the dog. Encourage gradual movement and use plenty of praise to show them that the water isn't so bad. If the dog seems overwhelmed at any point, moving to shallow water or dry land is recommended to give them time to calm back down. Water safety is a priority, even if they're adept swimmers. Owners should always check the water temperature to ensure it's not too cold, be sure it's safe to swim in, and to check for any critters that might be swimming around too. The TikTok video of Gus has generated over 6,000 comments since it went viral, with many social media users lauding his unusual technique. One comment reads: "Michael Phelps has been real quiet since this was posted." Another TikTok user wrote: "God forbid a guy play mermaids." Another person joked: "No notes on the technique." While one commenter added: "Gus is an Olympian in our hearts." Newsweek has contacted @oiuhoma via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video.

Watching Amy Poehler Get Hilariously ‘Pissed' At Adam Scott Over Severance's Season 2 Finale Perfectly Encapsulates My Feelings About It
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Severance ended on the 2025 TV schedule months ago; however, my mind is still boggled by its ending. Every day, my opinion changes. Some days, I'm livid that Mark left his wife Gemma on the other side of the door, and others, I totally get why he ran back into the building with Helly. Now, Amy Poehler has expressed her frustrations over all this to her former Parks and Rec co-star and the lead of the Apple TV+ hit, Adam Scott, and it perfectly encapsulates my feelings. Now, before she got 'pissed,' Poehler was complimenting Severance's Season 2 finale during an episode of Good Hang. However, after she called it 'incredible,' she stopped mid-sentence and made the funny face below: Adam Scott was confused by that look, so his former TV wife dived into what caused the reaction, saying: You're wife, she went pretty hard to get back to you. Dude! Listen, Mark's choice to run away from Gemma was shocking. So, after repeating 'I know' while looking at a jaw-dropped Poehler, Scott asked if she was 'pissed' about what happened. In response, she said: Yeah, dude. Dude, same! No matter what side of the debate you fall on, it was hard not to scream something along the lines of 'Dude!' after Mark made his choice. And Amy Poehler didn't back down from that point either. While she adores Britt Lower, who plays Helly, and has worked with her before, she couldn't see past Mark running back into Lumon with her, which led to her 'But.' And after saying 'but,' the Parks and Rec lead made the face below at her former co-star, fully illustrating her frustration over the whole situation: Apple TV Plus: $9.99 A Month With 7-Day TrialSave 70% - If you are looking to watch huge hits like Severance and Ted Lasso, you'll need Apple TV+. Thankfully, that's easy to get, and plans start at $9.99 per month. Offer available globally, prices Deal What followed was a semi-intense and overall funny debate between Scott and Poehler. And I'm not gonna lie, I've had conversations with others where I've played both sides of this debate. Here's the very entertaining back and forth: Adam Scott: Well, what other choice was Innie Mark going to make? Amy Poehler: Oh, I don't know, the choice where you go with your wife? Adam Scott: So, walk out the door and end your life? Amy Poehler: Yes! You go to the door! Adam Scott: Really, that's the choice you would make? Amy Poehler: What do you mean end your life? Adam Scott: He walks out that door, he doesn't know if he's ever coming back. He walks out that door, he becomes his outie. He doesn't know if that outie is ever going to walk back in that building. Amy Poehler: But that building is not great. Adam Scott: No, but it's better than not existing. Amy Poehler: But is it?!? Admittedly, when Mark left his wife Gemma, it was shocking. However, after thinking about it, it's important to remember that Innie Mark doesn't really know her; he is also in love with Helly. Oh, and if he leaves, he might never return, meaning he could die. However, now Outie Mark has been left in a way, and so has his wife... This leads to the final element of the Parks and Recreation co-stars' conversation. While the Leslie Knope actor joked about how flustered she was about the finale, she also noted that that's what made it so great. She explained that she immediately texted Adam Scott after she finished watching the finale, and noted that that kind of cliffhanger and excitement that evokes such a visceral reaction is what makes TV so fun. All-in-all, this was a relatable and hilarious interaction, and I'll be watching it on repeat (you can too, it starts at 41:55) as we wait for Severance Season 3. Overall, as a massive Parks and Rec and Severance fan, this whole interaction made my heart happy, and it reignited all the mixed and passionate emotions I have about Mark's choice. Now, the wait is really on to see what happens in the aftermath of that Season 2 finale, which you can re-watch and feel all the emotions Amy Poehler felt with an Apple TV+ subscription.

I Didn't Have Ben Stiller's Musical Mash-up For Severance And Zoolander On My Bingo Card, But This Marching Band Video Is A++++
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's been five months since Severance's devastating Season 2 finale aired on the 2025 TV schedule, and I still get excited at the mention of an ORTBO (it happens more often than you'd think in my house) or when I recall Mr. Milchick's marching band performance. As big of a fan as I am, I still wouldn't have expected the Apple TV+ series to come into play during a screening of Zoolander, another of Ben Stiller's best creations, and yet here we are, being gifted the musical mash-up I never knew we needed. On August 16, a showing of the 2001 comedy Zoolander was held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where Ben Stiller made a surprise appearance as the titular character — a wildly exaggerated version of himself — to introduce the movie. That wasn't the only bombshell of the evening, however, as the USC marching band then paraded onto the stage led by none other than Tramell Tillman. Check out the wild moment on Instagram: Praise Kier, indeed! As cool as it was to see Tramell Tillman channeling his terrifying Mr. Milchick persona, the ridiculously good-looking actor Ben Stiller (as Derek Zoolander) was hoping for something more in line with the theme of the evening, saying (per Variety): That's great, but this is kind of more like a Zoolander thing than a Severance thing. So maybe you could, I don't know, play like a Zoolandery type of song? The Emmy-nominated Tramell Tillman immediately blew his whistle, with the band striking up the Powerman 5000 song 'Relax,' which is featured in the movie. This appeased both the filmmaker and the crowd, who cheered as the band ran offstage and the movie began. Despite Ben Stiller's contribution to both Severance and Zoolander, I think it's pretty safe to say that nobody would have ever expected a collaboration of the musical type between the two. This guy's just full of surprises, though, because I certainly didn't expect the Severance Season 2 finale to feature such an intricate number. After the infamous Music Dance Experience in Severance Season 1 was one of the best music moments of that year, it was only natural that Ben Stiller and company would up the ante in Season 2. They did it in a big way, with Milchick first trading barbs with an animatronic Kier Eagan before going full band leader with a spirited performance to celebrate Mark S.'s completion of the Cold Harbor file.

Offer available globally, prices Deal If there was any question as to how good Severance's second season was, just look at the record 27 Emmy nominations received by the show and its cast. At least we'll have the awards show to look forward to as we deal with the long wait between Severance seasons. We don't yet know what Severance Season 3 will be about, but it will undoubtedly address the infuriating decision made by Mark (Adam Scott) at the end of the finale. In the meantime, at least we can continue to rewatch the first two seasons with our Apple TV+ subscriptions, and you never know when Tramell Tillman and the USC marching band will show up. Zoolander, meanwhile, is available to stream with a Netflix subscription or Paramount+ subscription.
