Step aside, Kardashians there is a new drama queen, and she’s a four-pound puppet. Darci Lynne’s latest Instagram post shows Petunia’s “This bunny got claws” moment, and it’s gone viral. The AGT winner act isn’t just for kids it’s seriously bold. The clip has earned thousands of laughs in just a few days, and fans are saying, “Petunia needs her own reality show.”
In the 15 seconds video Petunia slaps Darci’s hand away with perfect comedic timing and Darci reacts with an exaggerated wince. The caption “This bunny got claws” made fans laugh even harder. Comments were full of puppet abuse jokes like “Call PETA!!!” and requests for a Petunia merch line. It was chaos but in the best way.

Comments like “Petunia’s a MENACE” and “That slap had 10 years of backstory” turned the section into a comedy goldmine. Even people who didn’t know Darci or Petunia joined in. One person wrote, “I don’t know who these two are, but I’ve watched this 17 times.” It shows Darci really knows how to make short videos entertaining.
This isn’t Petunia’s first big moment. Back in 2017, the opera-singing bunny helped 12-year-old Darci win AGT. Watching their “Summertime” audition now shows how their act has changed—still sassy, but with even better comedic timing and funnier slaps.

That fan’s joke about Lucy and Ethel is so true. That’s exactly what it feels like now. After eight years together, their chemistry isn’t about being perfect anymore. It’s in the comfortable, funny back-and-forth we get to see.
The real shift is that the best parts aren’t the big singing moments. It’s the unplanned banter, when one of them cracks up or forgets a line. You can see the real surprise in their eyes. That’s the magic now watching a true partnership, flaws and all, not just a flawless show.
While so much online content feels overproduced, Darci and Petunia keep things real. The success of their video shows that physical comedy and puppetry are a winning combination. With over 3,500 likes in just a few days, it’s clear Gen Z loves a wild rabbit and only Darci can match her puppet’s attitude.
