    Tried to watch, but this blue strobing rectangle adjoining advertisement, yelling ‘THIS IS NOT A JOKE!’ made it too hard to pay attention to the cute goat.
    Most Obnoxious Ad Ever… at least here.

      Sorry. Remnant ads.

    The tricks at the end are cool. Surprised to see it since all the goats I’ve ever met have been dumb as bricks. As for the skateboarding, it’s neat that Happy stayed on it while rolling, but was there really any competition for the title? I doubt there’s many skateboarding goats.

     That goat totally could have skateboarded further, it only stopped because of the curb.

    It’s “Happie”, not “Happy”. At least give the goat proper credit where credit is due.

    Yeah, you better keep feeding me treats, little girl. I’ve got my eye on your dress.

     ”Skateboarding goat wins world record”. Florida, you say? Good Lord.

    I’m far more impressed that the goat isn’t covered in it’s own shit like every other goat I’ve ever seen.
