Sassy Pig Throws Hilarious Tantrum, Slams Door And Gives Mom Silent Treatment

June 26, 2025

Meet Merlin—the sassiest pet pig on the internet. Living with his loving (and very patient) mom, Mina Alali, Merlin has become a viral star thanks to his big personality and some surprisingly human behavior.

This clever pig has been trained to use communication buttons, and one of his lifelong obsessions has been ice cubes. So, before we get to the hilarious tantrum, we feel like you need to see this first:

Can we talk about how he looks at mom right after hitting the "dance" button? My heart can't handle it.

Okay, moving on.

In a more recent clip, Merlin is all grown up and presses his button to ask for an ice cube — again and again. But there’s just one problem: Merlin recently lost a few teeth, and Mina gently tells him that ice cubes are off-limits for now.

Merlin's reaction? Full. Piggy. Meltdown.

He stomps off into the bedroom, slams the door shut behind him like a human teenager, and gives Mina the ultimate silent treatment.

Merlin's followers can't get enough of his antics, and honestly, we can’t either. From button-talking to door-slamming, Merlin proves pigs aren’t just smart—they’ve got personality!
