Have you ever found a critter in the house who didn’t belong? Most of us are used to an occasional bee or even a bird making their way into the house, but how would you react to finding a squirrel? If the answer is you’d freak out, you won’t want to miss this video that HGTV shared because that’s exactly how this man reacted!
The man was in an online meeting in his home office when a squirrel made its surprise appearance. Make sure that your sound is on because his hootin’ and hollerin’ makes the video even funnier. And watch to the end because the squirrel doesn’t just surprise him one time!
Poor Julie! We laughed when HGTV shared, “I would react the same way, to be honest.” So would we!

Hilarious Comments Are Just as Funny as the Video Itself
We had just as much fun reading through the comments as we did watching HGTV’s video. @vickie_wgrt said what everybody was thinking, “Wow. Julie‘s got her hands full.” @Iamandreat2020 added, “Julie, where in the world are you because clearly you’re braver than this man, LOL!” @monicabit8 replied, “I don’t think Julie ever showed up, lol!”
Commenter @carrianne0218 deadpanned, “Well, at least he didn’t overreact…” @liz_demeter added, “He has two levels, 1 and 872,235.” @producer buchan pointed out, “He got a 3D view of the squirrel as well.”
@hugs_joanne_kisses had one of our favorite comments. “OK, he’s on a video call, you just know whoever is on that video call meeting, they are on the floor laughing so hard they are crying!!!” @maggie miller design was so right when she replied, “He will never live that down, LOL!”
Another commenter said what we were thinking, “If I were on that call, I would be done for the day, unable to function without laughing!” We couldn’t agree more!
