Reddit Challenge: Watch This Man Give His Cat 11,000 Stern Looks

You wouldn’t think that watching 45 minutes of a man glaring at his cat 11,453 stern looks would be entertaining comedy, but it is.

Gus Johnson, a Redditor and the most committed OP you’ll ever see, threw down the gauntlet on the /r/me_irl subreddit. For every upvote the post got, he said, he would give his cat one stern look.

The moderators took it down after four hours for breaking the “no selfies” rule of the subreddit, but not before 11,453 people hit that upvote button, damming Gus to nearly an hour of grueling glares at his cat.

It’s not clear what this adorable kitten did to deserve such scorn, but the kitty plays along with this challenge, rolling and playing and trying to figure out why her owner is doing that weird thing with his neck and eyes. Her name is Wendy, after the prostitute on Breaking Bad. Poor Wendy.

Throughout the challenge, Gus keeps a counter running to track his looks and talks about his life, his past cats, and generally shoots the shit with Wendy. Wendy’s fairly oblivious to the entire situation, but does get sick of being watched and retreats to a drawer by the end. The scorn became too much for her to bear.

Spoiler alert: Gus makes it to the end, and lives to spend the rest of his day getting his wisdom teeth out. He wrote in the comments that he woke up with severe neck pains the next day. Was it worth it? Totally.
