In a surprisingly amusing spectacle, a Malaysian woman captivated online audiences as she gracefully strolled through the streets with an unusual companion—a giant camping umbrella. Contrary to the typical rain shield, this accessory had viewers cackling with its oversized frame.
Meet ‘Blackdog’
Dubbed affectionately as ‘Blackdog,’ this larger-than-life umbrella made its grand debut in a TikTok shared by user @fizuan_fadil as the woman was captured elegantly wielding the umbrella under Malaysia’s heat wave.
Despite some questioning its practicality in the city, many online viewers were impressed by the woman’s unique choice. However, in Malaysia’s hot climate, ‘Blackdog’ provided much-needed relief, protecting her from the scorching sun and unexpected rain showers.
Unveiling the Origins
According to WeirdKaya, delving deeper into the umbrella’s backstory unveiled an unexpected twist—the original poster (OP) revealed that the woman seen in the video is his sister-in-law, and he is the owner of the umbrella. Although ‘Blackdog’ was not something you’d see often on the streets, internet users quickly embraced it, considering it a charming and unique addition to the cityscape.
Public reaction
Netizens swiftly reacted to this unique sight, engaging in lively and witty discussions in the comments section.
A commenter jokingly quipped, “No wonder a man said his banana fritter stall umbrella is missing…”
Another user wondered, “Isn’t that a canopy umbrella?”
One user pointed out that this was another level of flex as the umbrella provided great UV protection for her. “Yawww…blackdog… her flex is on another level… This is the real UV protection”
As of writing, the video has amassed an impressive 3.2 million views, 180k likes, and garnered 5751 comments.
