American YouTuber IShowSpeed, widely recognised for his livestreams, recently astonished his followers by testing a $100,000 (approximately Rs 84 lakh) robot dog, which unexpectedly shot flames at him. The viral video, filmed by a swimming pool, begins with IShowSpeed instructing the robot dog to sit and extend its paws. The YouTuber then performs a backflip and commands the machine to follow. The situation escalates when he tells the robot dog to bark, prompting it to shoot flames in his direction. The video concludes with IShowSpeed leaping into the pool while shouting, "Stop."
The clip, captioned "$100,000 ROBOT DOG," quickly gained traction, amassing over 42 million views and sparking humorous reactions in the comments. One user remarked, "I’m AMAZED that your 100k bot wants to set you ABLAZE," while another joked, "The pc, the alligator, and now it’s the dog robot." Some users pointed out that similar robot dogs could be purchased for a lower price, with one commenting, "You can buy this dog in Germany for just 7-8k." Another quipped, "China sent the dog on a hit."
