Vet’s hilarious impersonations of different pet breeds that visit her office are so spot-on

We like to think that our fur babies have their own completely unique and individual personality. But just ask any veterinarian that spends all day interacting with a variety of animals—and they’ll tell you that each breed tends to have its own set of quirks.

Just take it from Dr. Molly Brinkmann, who is delighting viewers on TikTok with her spot-on impressions of the different pet breeds that check into her office on a regular basis. She not only nailed the stereotypical attitude of each breed, but what they are most likely going to need a vet visit for in the first place.

Brinkmann began with common dog breeds.


First, there’s always upbeat, if not a little derpy Labrador or Golden Retriever who comes in without a care in the world. These dogs are most likely in for eating something they should have. In this pretend dog’s case, it’s socks.

“I ate some socks the other day, like 12 of them…but I really do feel fine!” Brinkmann says.

The nervous German Shepard, on the other hand, is having a “butt problem.” Yup that checks out.

Meanwhile an Aussie who bursts through the door has been running for 45 miles a day, and can’t stop despite having an injury. “I need to know how I can fix this ASAP.”

Then, a poor little anxious Doodle comes in with an emotional support toy while coming in for itchy ears, followed by a prim and proper Cavalier who requests that the vet not mess up their freshly done hair while getting their “anal glands expressed.”

Lastly a French Bulldog comes in with all the problems— itchy skin, a sore back leg, watery eyes and quite possibly a urinary tract infection. This dog comes to the vet so often that it gets a frequent flier card.

All in all, pet parents felt like Brinkmann’s impressions were flawlessly accurate. Not to mention hilarious.

“My golden ate an entire pan of brownie and we had to get his stomach pumped. He was thrilled and cheerful through the whole ordeal,” one person wrote.

“If you don’t like having money, get a bulldog!” chimed another.

For round two, Brinkmann got even further into character as she portrayed everything from a snippy Chihuahua who’s miffed to be waiting for three minutes to a forgetful Bernese Mountain Dog who cannot get it together as they rummage through their purse for an insurance card (not sure is Brinkmann is making a point about Bernese Mountain Dogs here, or Bernese Mountain Dog owners).

And yes, she finally threw a “spicy cat” into the mix. Complete with shades, knife, and attitude.

In fact, Brinkmann did yet another follow-up video focused solely on her cat patients.

There’s the Tuxedo cat who can’t sit still, the male orange cat who acts like he owns the place and constantly flirts, the Persian with resting frown face, the hot-tempered Tortie who trusts no one and the forever-kitten Bengal who has no idea how to use its inside voice.

@drmollysays Which cats should we do next? #cat #cats #cattok #catsoftiktok #catmom #catmoms #catmomtok #catvet #veterinary #vettok ♬ Mozart Turkish March (1120879) – arachang

Looks like Brinkmann has been having fun with vet impressions for a while now. Her TikTok account is filled with videos showing how different breeds act at Christmas parties, amusement parks, getting groomed, greeting their owners at the door, you name it. And while there is a lot of dog content, she doesn’t leave the kitties out. And it’s clear she has equal love for every breed she impersonates.

GloRilla Asserts She And Megan Thee Stallion Are Both ‘Thick AF’ In A Preview Of Their New Collaboration

One of my favorite things about GloRilla is her running joke about being “thick.” Obviously the Memphis trickster is very petite (despite recently adding some… ahem… size up top), but talks herself up like she’s draggin’ a wagon, and honestly, we should all be that confident. Even when Glo is standing next to “the best ass on Instagram,” Megan Thee Stallion, she never breaks kayfabe, twerking it out with Meg like they’re identical twins.

Glo even captioned a video in which they do just that while previewing a new collaboration “Me and Meg Thick AF!!!” The song, meanwhile, is an absolute scorcher, with the two rappers hyping each other up: “Go Meg! Go Meg! Go Meg! Go Meg!” goes Glo. “Get ’em Glo! Get ’em Glo! Get ’em Glo! Get ’em Glo!” Meg shoots back. Yeah, this one is going Looney Tunes on the apps when it drops — which it will probably do on GloRilla’s new mixtape, EhhThang EhhThang, which drops this Friday, April 5.

Now that Glo has a song with Megan and both Glo and Megan have songs with Cardi B and all three have songs with Latto, how far away do you think we are from a female rap Avengers teaming up to save hip-hop and finally give us that “Ladies’ Night” remake we’ve all been clamoring for for the last six years? I’d say about six months, maybe. You can check out the preview of GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s new song above.

Beyoncé Implored Labels And Radio Stations To Be ‘More Open’ With Art In Her iHeartRadio Music Awards Speech

Last night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, Beyoncé appeared to accept the special Innovator Award from none other than Stevie Wonder — making it her first major outing since releasing her country album Cowboy Carter.

“Whenever anyone asks me if there’s anyone I could listen to for the rest of my life, it’s always you,” she first told Wonder. “God bless you.”

Beyoncé then started her moving speech. “Innovation starts with a dream, and the road to execute that dream can be very bumpy,” she said. “Being an innovator is doing what everyone believes is impossible… Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength. Being an innovator is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you.”

“To all the record labels, every radio station & every award show, my hope is that we are more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions,” she said.

To close out the speech, Beyoncé then thanked her inspirations in Prince, Tracy Chapman, Linda Martell (who appeared on the new album), and more.

Check out a video of Beyoncé’s speech while accepting the award below.

Want To Know What Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn Sounds Like In ‘Joker: Folie À Deux’? Here You Go

Joker 2 Folie A Deux Lady Gaga Harley Quinn
Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. Pictures wisely wasted until today, the day after April Fool’s Day, to release the first poster for Joker: Folie à Deux. If it had come out on April 1, no one would have believed it was the real thing. That’s how twisted the Joker is. Along with the poster, which has the Joker (played by Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix) dipping Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga) while they dance, Warner Bros. also released the first audio clip from the sequel to 2019’s Joker.

“You can do anything you want,” Gaga’s Harley says, sounding a lot like actual Lady Gaga, in a video released on the film’s TikTok page. “You’re Joker.” If someone whispers that in your ear, run. You can listen to the audio here.

Here’s the poster:

Joker: Folie à Deux was originally thought to be a full-blown musical, but it’s reportedly more of a jukebox musical. “It’s got some music. It’s not a musical per say. But it just has music in it,” director of photography Lawrence Sher said in an interview. “Music is a part of the movie and the characters, but I don’t know if it’s a musical. But there’s a lot of music in the first Joker as well.”

Joker: Folie à Deux comes out on October 4. Look out for the first trailer next week, on April 9.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Canceled Multiple ‘Vultures’ Listening Events Without Warning

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have yet to release the second installment of their ongoing(?) trilogy project, Vultures, and now, they’ve even canceled multiple planned listening events for the first two parts, according to Billboard. They were planning to hold the listening parties in arenas across the US, but did not give a reason for the cancelations — only a vague promise that new dates will be announced.

Cities touted on Ticketmaster included dates in Washington, DC; Tampa, Florida; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Nashville, Tennessee; and Charlotte, North Carolina. A listening on April 21 at the Pyramids at Giza in Egypt is still selling tickets.

Although Vultures 1 was a commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spawning a No. 1 single on the Hot 100 in “Carnival,” Vultures 2 did not materialize on its scheduled release date, March 8, and Kanye appeared to debate a direct-to-consumer release. However, that still hasn’t happened, and the third release date is already rapidly approaching.

The rocky rollout could possibly be attributed to reports that the distributor for Vultures 1, FUGA, released a statement shortly after it hit DSPs alleging that the album had been released without clearance. FUGA claims it was submitted by a different partner after the company declined a partnership with Kanye and Ty due to Kanye’s antisemitic comments and other erratic behaviors. It was removed from Apple Music, but not Spotify, which allowed it to reach its impressive milestone, but apparently left Kanye without a distributor for the second and third installments.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Kanye has canceled listening sessions. Several of the events promoted for the first Vultures release were also canceled at the last minute. However, according to some fans’ responses to Kanye and Ty’s Rolling Loud “performance,” it doesn’t sound like fans missed much.

What Happened Between Jerrod Carmichael And Tyler The Creator?

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael had his new TV show premiere over the weekend. Since then, a clip of him confessing his feelings to Tyler The Creator has gone viral. “You laughed and called me a stupid b*tch,” Carmichael jokingly said in the scene.

Carmichael putting this on the show left many who saw it online wondering what exactly the back story was. Here’s what to know.

What Happened Between Jerrod Carmichael & Tyler The Creator?

During the Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, he revealed that he developed feelings for Tyler The Creator and decided to text him about it, according To Entertainment Weekly. Carmichael also invited him to possibly be his date to the 2022 Emmy Awards, but he was busy.

“I fell in love with my best friend. 1 out of 10, don’t recommend,” Carmichael told the audience in one of the show’s clips. “I knew I had to tell him. Things started getting kind of weird between us. I had these feelings… so I texted him.”

“I remember saying, ‘I know you didn’t ask for this, but somewhere down the line I developed feelings for you and I don’t know what to do with that,’” he added. “Then I immediately turned my phone off and went into therapy.”

This text conversation led to Carmichael asking Tyler to sit down and talk about how their friendship turned awkward after that.

Jack Black Really Wants A ‘Grand Theft Auto’ And/Or ‘Red Dead Redemption’ Movie

Jack Black is the benevolent king of the video game movie (he’s appeared in actual video games, too). The Tenacious D singer deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and he’s also set to provide the voice for Claptrap in Borderlands and Steve in Minecraft, respectively. What video game movie would he like to see next?

“I can’t believe they haven’t already started making a movie of any of the Rockstar Games – Grand Theft Auto, but especially Red Dead Redemption,” Black told Total Film. “Those things are already like movies, you know? I guess that’s the thing. Some video games are already halfway there to telling those kind of stories, and there are some movies that are like video games.”

Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are among the best-selling video games of all-time (GTA 6 will join them… eventually). The Red Dead sequel, in particular, is a masterpiece that would translate well to a film. Jack Black could voice the horse you punch in the face.

Borderlands comes out on August 9, 2024 (watch the trailer here), while Minecraft has a scheduled release date of April 4, 2025.

All The Best New Indie Music From This Week

Best New Indie

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels, but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Every week, Uproxx is rounding up the best new indie music from the past seven days. This week, we got new music from DIIV, Hovvdy, Microwave, and more.

While we’re at it, sign up for our newsletter to get the best new indie music delivered directly to your inbox, every Monday.

Teens In Trouble – What’s Mine

Combining the fuzzy hooks of Pup and the animated angst of Jeff Rosenstock, Lizzie Killian’s work as Teens In Trouble is disarmingly immediate. What’s Mine, the full-length debut from Teens In Trouble, is a sub-30-minute breakthrough of kinetic tempos, bristly yet bubbly guitar riffs, and Killian’s incisive songwriting. Meeting the middle point between pop-punk and indie rock, What’s Mine cements the California native as an exciting new voice.

Been Stellar – “All In One”

You’d think that with such a cheeky name like Been Stellar (what actor does that sound like?), they’d be a fifth-wave emo band. But that’s not the case. Instead, the NYC quintet makes abrasive, fiery post-punk that has landed them opening gigs for Shame and Fontaines D.C. As evidenced by their latest single, “All In One,” from their forthcoming debut LP, Scream From New York, NY, the indie rockers don’t shy away from even their rowdiest inclinations. The song is punctuated by rapid-fire drum fills and a finale that kicks everything into overdrive. Post-punk has lately been inundated to the point of oversaturation, but Been Stellar proves that this subgenre hasn’t lost its luster quite yet. It can still be stellar.

Microwave – “Huperzine Dreamz”

Much like André 3000’s instrumental, flute-driven self-discoveries on last year’s New Blue Sun, the Atlanta trio Microwave’s latest record is fueled by an ayahuasca experiment. Frontman Nathan Hardy and drummer Timothy “Tito” Pittard traveled to Peru, participated in an ayahuasca ritual, and reported their enlightened findings to bassist Tyler Hill. Thus, their fourth album, Let’s Start Degeneracy (what acronym does that make?), was born. Although they’ve been putting out records since their 2014 debut LP, Stovall, Let’s Start Degeneracy, out April 26, is a noteworthy level-up. On its latest single, “Huperzine Dreamz,” a moody tune that Hardy describes as “a nod to the wide variety of nu-tropic supplements” he and Tito experimented with, Microwave elevates their punchy strain of emo to psychedelic new heights.

Ekko Astral – “Devorah”

Illuminati Hotties’ Sarah Tudzin says she makes tender punk. Midwife’s Madeline Johnston says she makes heaven metal. Ekko Astral’s Jael Holzman says she makes mascara mosh pit. Just as the former two artists demonstrate, self-coined genre descriptors can be pretty accurate, encapsulating their nuanced music within a pithy phrase. Holzman, the frontwoman of the D.C. punk five-piece Ekko Astral, has achieved a similar feat with mascara mosh pit. Pink Balloons, the forthcoming debut album from Ekko Astral, combines gritty DIY signifiers with the glitzy ambiance of a theater dressing room. It’s the sonic equivalent of ferociously smearing lipstick all over a gilded Victorian mirror. Its new single, “Devorah,” is no different. Opening with uneasy, distorted guitar drones and Holzman’s phantasmic vocals, the fog soon lifts to reveal a muscular, pugnacious punk track that declares “solidarity with all the missing murdered people.” It’s the perfect distillation of Ekko Astral’s strengths, uncompromising in its empathy and aggression alike.

DIIV – “Everyone Out”

Dream-pop-meets-shoegaze four-piece DIIV are on the cusp of sharing their next LP, Frog In Boiling Water. Following up “Brown Paper Bag” and “Soul-net” is the foreboding, tactile “Everyone Out,” a track built on distant harmonics and soft acoustic guitar that, after nearly five minutes, fades like cloudy mist. As mentioned in the single’s press release, DIIV archly says “Everyone Out” “may or may not be a character study” that centers on the bridge from “youthful naivety to bitter disillusionment.” Given the song’s dystopian sonic backdrop, I’m willing to bet that it may, in fact, be that.

Hovvdy – “Make Ya Proud”

The self-titled double album from Hovvdy is officially less than a month away. But the Texas alt-country duo has shared one more single before its imminent release. “Make Ya Proud,” as member Charlie Martin explains in press materials, is one of the few songs on the album that he penned for his paternal grandfather, Pete, who passed away last summer. The song’s gentle, lulling sway feels like as much of a lamentation of his death as it does a celebration of his life.

Bodysync / Dazy – “Back Of My Mind”

On paper, James Goodson seems like a strange voice to hear on an effervescent electronic track. As Dazy, the indie-rock songwriter draws from Green Day and Oasis and adds a hardcore edge. “Pressure Cooker,” Dazy’s 2022 single with Militarie Gun, is a great example of his typical style, heavy on big riffs and bigger hooks. Whereas Bodysync’s Ryan Hemsworth previously worked with Dazy to produce 2023’s “Forced Perspective,” both members of Bodysync, Hemsworth and Giraffage, linked up with Dazy for “Back Of My Mind.” It’s a summery, groovy tune fit for the poolside. Who would have thought that Bodysync and Dazy would combine powers to make the best chillwave song since the 2010s?

Treanne – “Sharing My Body”

Born in London and raised in Jamaica and, eventually, Kansas City, Treanne’s music evokes the halcyon days of youth and the growing difficulties of early adulthood. 20/20, her debut EP out in May via Young, is a world-weary meditation on that transitional phase. Alongside the announcement comes “Sharing My Body,” littered with plaintive piano and grounded by Treanne’s lush, hypnotizing vocals.

Mdou Moctar – “Imouhar”

The Tamasheq language is seldom spoken anymore. The North African tongue is one of three main varieties of Tuareg, but, as Tuareg guitarist, bandleader, and songwriter Mdou Moctar explains, it has been nearly supplanted by French. “We feel like in a hundred years no one will speak good Tamasheq,” he explains in a press release. As one of the few left in his community who can write it, that places a significant weight on Moctar. “Imouhar,” the latest single from the band’s upcoming record Funeral For Justice, is an urgent missive to fellow Tuareg people to preserve the Tamasheq language. Over the course of five minutes, it slowly builds up to a searing shredder of a guitar solo, conveying the exigencies of what’s at stake.

Local Natives – “April”

Last year, SoCal alt-rockers Local Natives released Time Will Wait For No One. They’re following it up with what they’ve billed as its companion piece, But I’ll Wait For You, finishing the first half of that sentence. “April,” its lead single, is grounded by frontmen Kelcey Ayer’s and Taylor Rice’s mesmerizing, silky vocal timbres, just like most Local Natives songs are. This time, however, they’ve adorned their music with squelchy, Currents-esque octave synths that function as the main hook. Light, panning congas and tasteful wah-guitar litter the mix, creating a musical stir fry that all comes together in the end despite its varied textures.

Colin Farrell Couldn’t Be More Delighted That His Fellow Irish Actors, Including Barry Keoghan, Are Having A Moment

Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan in Banshees of Inisherin
Searchlight Pictures

Even though St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone, it’s nice to know that we can always celebrate the best and brightest of the Irish people. After all, Ireland has given us so many important Irish actors of today, like Cillian Murphy, Paul Mescal, and Ayo Edebiri, so it’s no wonder Colin Farrell has been feeling particularly patriotic.

Farrell, who was nominated at last year’s Academy Awards, is proud of his roots and told ET that it’s “amazing” how such a small country can be home to so many talents.

“I mean, we punch so far above our weight, you know? We’re only a country of five million people and I don’t know, Irish people — just whether it’s through music, the written word, whether it’s prose of poetry, film, theater of course, we just — we have a deep connection to,” Farrell said. “I think just to the importance of story and to leaning into stories and meanings with which we understand ourselves and the world around us,” he added. Perhaps this story could include a certain romantic comedy?

Farrell couldn’t compliment his fellow Irishmen without mentioning former costar Barry Keoghan. The two appeared in Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer in 2017, and Keoghan has had a breakout year after starring alongside Farrell in The Banshees Of Inisherin.

“Barry’s off to the races,” Farrell added. “He’s killing it, he’s doing amazing,” he said, unintentionally giving a Saltburn spoiler. You’ve probably seen it by now anyway.

Farrell is currently starring in AppleTV’s Sugar. Next up, Farrell will take his talents to the very non-Irish land of Gotham in The Penguin, where his spunky Irish accent is of no use to him.
