That moment when a puppet bunny throws shade and still manages to sing in key? Only Darci Lynne can pull it off. In her latest viral short, the America’s Got Talent winner proves she’s not just keeping ventriloquism alive; she’s turning it into a full-blown comedy genre with a modern twist.
The clip features Petunia in rare form: bold, hilarious, and totally unfiltered. But it’s Darci’s control; singing flawlessly while bantering with a puppet and not moving her lips; that leaves fans stunned. “This is not normal puppet behavior” one viewer jokes. But that’s exactly why it works: Darci and Petunia are anything but ordinary.

Fans are loving every second: “Petunia is my toxic spirit animal” has racked up hundreds of likes while others marvel at Darci’s growth. Comments like “Her timing is SNL-level good” and “She’s funnier than half the comics out there” show this duo’s staying power. No props, no tricks; just pure talent and comedic timing.
Of course, longtime fans remember where it all began; Darci’s jaw-dropping AGT debut with Petunia in 2017. That “Summertime” performance didn’t just wow the judges it rewrote what ventriloquism could be. The Golden Buzzer moment still sends chills down viewers’ spines years later.

This is the clip that made history. A 12-year-old singing through a puppet with full vibrato and stage presence? Nobody had ever seen anything like it. The second Petunia opened her mouth, the crowd roared. That moment was more than a win—it was the birth of a star.
Now, with millions of views across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, Darci Lynne continues to evolve. Whether it’s Petunia throwing shade or Darci delivering raw vocals solo, one thing stays consistent: the girl from Oklahoma still knows how to steal a show and a heart.
