Move over, Kardashians; there’s a new drama queen in town, and she’s a fuzzy, four-pound puppet. Darci Lynne’s latest Instagram post featuring Petunia’s “This bunny got claws” moment has gone viral, proving the AGT winner’s ventriloquism act isn’t just kid-friendly; it’s downright savage. The clip’s racked up thousands of laughs in days, with fans declaring: “Petunia needs her own reality show.”
The 15-second video shows Petunia slapping Darci’s hand away with impeccable comedic timing, complete with Darci’s exaggerated wince. The caption “This bunny got claws” sent fans into hysterics, flooding comments with puppet abuse jokes (“Call PETA!”) and demands for a Petunia merch line. Pure chaos in the best way.

From “Petunia’s a MENACE” to “That slap had 10 years of backstory,” the comment section became a comedy goldmine. Even non-fans got roped in, with one user writing: “I don’t know who these two are, but I’ve watched this 17 times.” Proof that Darci’s mastered the art of bite-sized entertainment.
This isn’t Petunia’s first rodeo; rewind to 2017, when the opera-singing bunny helped 12-year-old Darci win AGT. A throwback to their “Summertime” audition reveals how their dynamic has evolved: same sass, just sharper comedic timing (and better slaps).

Eight years later, their chemistry’s tighter than ever. While early acts focused on singing, today’s clips highlight their improv-like banter. As one fan noted: “It’s like watching Lucy and Ethel; if one was a ventriloquist and the other a bunny with rage issues.” Tour footage shows audiences adore their unscripted chaos.
In an era of overproduced content, Darci and Petunia keep it refreshingly raw. The clip’s success proves physical comedy + puppetry = viral gold. With 3.5K+ likes in days, it’s clear: Gen Z loves a unhinged rabbit, and Darci’s the only one who can keep up with her creation’s attitude.
