A squirrel rudely interrupting a conference call makes for 29 seconds of comedy gold
Over on TikTok, Lauren – @whoalaureik – has shared a clip of her husband, chocolatier Edward Marc in his home office. Although she describes it as ‘Just your average conference call’, it is far from average. It may, in fact, be the best conference call ever – from a comedy viewpoint.
Watch what happens in this 29-second masterpiece – oh, and if you’re using headphones, it gets LOUD.

No squirrels were hurt during the making of that clip – just one man’s pride.
Here’s what TikTok users thought of it.
The way the squirrel flew into the desk 😂😂😂

Perfectly expressed exactly how I would act in the same situation.

The squirrel is probably like “what! What!? Where is it!???”

Person on the other end probably thought the guy was being murdered lol.

Here I am turning my volume up full blast to hear the conference call then having my body go into full blown tremors by the screaming.

I legit thought at first that he was pretending his home was being invaded, just to get out of the meeting 🤦🏼♀️

At least he remained calm.

It wasn’t his only run-in with a squirrel.
