There’s something endlessly entertaining about watching dog siblings try new challenges, and Labrador brothers Ollie and Tato prove it perfectly. In a viral Instagram video, the pair took on an IQ test — and the results were both hilarious and surprising.
🎥 Watch Ollie and Tato Take the IQ Test
Ollie’s Turn: Slow and Steady
The video begins with Ollie and Tato sitting patiently as their human pulls out an activity jar. When Ollie picks the chit labeled “IQ test,” he looks confident. From Ollie’s playful POV narration, he declares, “Oh, I think I’ll be pretty smart, but I’m not sure about my brother.”
The challenge? Escape from under a blanket. Ollie’s mum drops a duckie blanket over him, and suddenly he looks lost. “Where did everybody go? How will I ever escape?” he wonders. After 40 long seconds of struggle, Ollie finally makes his way out — triumphant, but slightly embarrassed.
Tato’s Plot Twist
Next up, it’s Tato’s turn. Ollie confidently predicts his younger brother will take even longer. But in a hilarious twist, Tato bolts free almost instantly. The contrast between Ollie’s cautious nature and Tato’s bold, mischievous energy has viewers laughing out loud.
Ollie’s face says it all: disbelief mixed with mild disappointment. His closing comment seals the comedy: “I don’t think I want to do this test anymore. We’re both smart. Don’t ask any more questions.”
Viewers Are Cracking Up
The clip has racked up more than 129,000 likes and hundreds of comments from delighted fans. One person wrote, “Oh Ollie, you are a scholar and a gentleman; Tato got some street smarts though. You are both precious!” Another chimed in with, “No brain cell was harmed in the making of this.”
The video perfectly captures the different personalities of sibling pups and proves that intelligence comes in many forms — sometimes cautious, sometimes instinctive, but always lovable.
Ollie and Tato: Both Brilliant in Their Own Way
While the IQ test may have shown Tato’s quick instincts outshining Ollie’s careful strategy, the truth is clear: both dogs are smart in their own unique ways. And at the end of the day, that’s what makes watching them together so heartwarming — they balance each other out, just like the best siblings do.
