Someone's giving toads some sassy opinions
Animals always have a voice. Whether they know it or not, humans assign verbal communications to help humanize their animal friends. Maybe a big cow might have a low, dopey voice, whereas a rabbit might earn a high-pitched, squeaky tone. Either way, we cannot resist the allure of attempting to better understand the thoughts of the voiceless.
For RxCKSTxR, a viral TikToker, every animal has the same voice: His.
RxCKSTxR takes ordinary animal videos and commentates over the interactions that take place. Despite never changing the tone of his voice, it seems that every narration brings life and color to each video that wasn’t there before. Sure, a video of a cute kitten being sassy is fun for everyone to watch, but with a voice, these animals are given more life and personality than they could ever know.
In one video, RxCKSTxR is a burly mastiff getting smacked around by a tiny kitten. The kitten claws at his face and despite attempting to be tough, the mastiff, as they always do, backs down and cowers away from his teensy feline attacker. While they may try to act tough, dogs always yield to the mercy of kitty dictatorships.
RxCKSTxR doesn’t just stick to our furry friends either. Most recently, he dubbed over a video of a toad and a bearded dragon snacking on mealworms. The toad, of course, is much slower and clumsier than the swift and spiky lizard, nearly toppling over with each lunge towards the worms. With his new found voice, he begs the reptile to share with him and is, naturally, declined the mercy.
He even made a voice over of a high speed chase. Deep in the African Savannah, the voice of RxCKSTxR was graced upon a water buffalo as he careens away from what looks like certain death– a pack of hungry lions. With grace and agility the water buffalo storms away, trudging through the deep waters of a river and just past a group of watchful photographers.
Unfortunately for the buffalo, despite his grace and speed, RxCKSTxR’s voiceover personifies his fear and struggle as he gargles water, leaps over lions, and skitters past the unhelpful onlookers. RxCKSTxR does a great job of incorporating sound effects into his voice overs, so we feel as if the voice is coming directly from the animal, making everything a bit more personal.
Fortunately, it looks like there is no shortage of viral animal videos for RxCKSTxR to dub over. He is the one man who gives a voice to every animal, personifying their (probable) thoughts, and doing what we all secretly do in our heads.
