Cake for Yamal... But a CACTUS for Haaland?!!(3D Parody) #haaland #funny
Mbappé gets wafers. Bellingham gets ice cream cones. But this is not a dessert tasting: each animated footballer is pushed face-first into his serving, setting up an uncomfortable question about what awaits Haaland.
The Short from ainimal-rescue-ai is a 3D parody using AI-generated and AI-enhanced animation, not footage of the players. Its caricature of Lamine Yamal receives a strawberry cake. Haaland, wearing a Norway shirt, looks across at the cream-covered Yamal, then down at a spiky potted cactus of his own.
That dessert-table setup has reached about 4.8 million views in 17 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. There is no spoken dialogue; the sequence runs on recognizable shirts, exaggerated expressions and the increasingly unsuitable things placed on the table.
Food disputes are also drawing viewers to another of the channel's new parodies, "They Stole the Snacks... Yamal Took the Entire Stick!!(3D Parody) #haaland #funny #Mbappé". That Short is also running well above the channel's usual start, returning the same football caricatures to an argument over snacks rather than anything happening on the pitch.
