Ultimate Dog Tease YouTube Video to Become a Movie

We’ve seen plenty of ridiculous ideas turned into movies over the past few years, so let’s face it, at this point nothing should come as a surprise. If something out there has a big enough following, someone is going to find a way to put it on the big screen… even if it’s just a funny YouTube video. We’ve seen everything from Christian the Lion to Epic Beard Man optioned for feature films in the past, and now a little viral video called Ultimate Dog Tease is getting the same treatment. The popular one-minute video features a man telling his dog that he gave different kinds of food to the cat, with a voice dubbed in for the exasperated dog’s response. Hey, who doesn’t want to see a movie about a talking dog that loves bacon?
The original video was created by a guy named Andrew Grantham along with a friend of his, and it quickly spread like wildfire across the internet last year. It is now up to over 95 million views on YouTube and has spawned an entire YouTube channel dedicated to talking animals. Clearly people find it more than a little amusing… but amusing enough to watch 90 minutes of it?
Variety reports that Paramount is in the process of setting up a movie through their micro-budget Insurge label… that’s right, the same company responsible for The Devil Inside. Alec Berg and David Mandel (EuroTrip, The Cat in the Hat, The Dictator) will write the script, but no director is attached as of yet. I’m guessing this will be another live-action talking animal movie in the vein of the Cats & Dogs series, but who knows what they can possibly do to set it apart. Would you watch an Ultimate Dog Tease movie? What other YouTube videos deserve a Hollywood movie adaptation?
