What did you think?

Dylan Novak supplies the choreography. Holding Storm facing the camera, he moves the French bulldog's paws to Rebecca Black's "Friday," smiling and lip-syncing as the song plays.

The brief routine drew nearly 2.8 million views in its first day, roughly nineteen times the usual opening for a Short on his channel. There is no spoken introduction or elaborate setup: Novak keeps waving Storm's paws to the beat until the clip ends.

Storm's dance routines already feature prominently among Novak's most-watched Shorts, including the directionally challenged "your other left" clips. This time, the weekend greeting extends across several uploads: another Friday dance is also drawing an unusually large early audience, and Novak has posted a behind-the-scenes companion.

The comments turn into a Friday roll call, with viewers checking in on the day itself and one dubbing the occasion Frenchie Friday. Another thanks Novak for making Friday a recurring pleasure.
