16 Hilarious Dachshunds That Will Leave You In Stitches

What's funnier than a dachshund? Honestly, not much. With their long bodies, tiny legs, and wildly expressive faces, they're practically sausage-shaped comedians. One unhinged zoomies session or dramatic glance can have you rolling in laughter. Just ask the millions of people who've liked the hilarious dachshund videos we collected. They're giggling over impromptu, late-night puppy pillow fights and exaggerated dachshund head tilts — and you'll likely be laughing right along!

These hilarious videos include blond, long-haired dachshunds weighing almost 30 pounds and dark, minuscule creatures that will look like puppies for life. The classic brown dachshund aesthetic is instantly recognizable, but the breed actually comes in a variety of colors and sizes. What doesn't change is the mischievous spirit running through the lineage. The next time you're bored, get help from a dachshund. From pajama-wearing grandpas to "Stranger Things" inspired demodogs and delivery doxies, these pups have the power to eliminate dull moments and keep you entertained.

That bird crossed Nico's red line

Listen, Nico has something really important he wants to ask: why is that bird pooping on his window?! A hilarious TikTok video shows the little wiener dog sitting on a couch, barking loudly and staring at the window. The problem? A thick line of bird poop smeared on the window's glass. After looking in disbelief at the mess, Nico's head snaps toward his human, an outraged expression in his eyes. One commenter said, "The way he looked over at you like 'mom clean it up, I don't like my windows dirty.'"

Clearly, Nico is a dog that demands order. His over-the-top reaction to the bird's splatter is adorable and completely relatable. Who wouldn't be annoyed at bird poop messing up a lovely daytime view? Another commenter told Nico's owner, "girl u better get up and clean..." Nico needs his window back, pronto, and he's not afraid to let everyone know!

Greta's a mini monster on a mission

Beware, it's Greta the demodog! You'll be scared if you don't laugh. A YouTube video captures all of her menacing glory. First, you see her sitting on a couch with the dreaded demodog petals surrounding her face. Next, she curls her lips into a snarl. Well, not quite. Greta is wearing a costume that makes her look like the "Stranger Things" monster, but the snarl was really a yawn. The mini dachshund's teeth are so long and pointy that when she reveals them, she looks ready to attack.

Greta's faux rage becomes even funnier when you look at other videos posted by @gunnerandgreta. She's a happy dog that lives on a farm with her brother, Gunner. When she's not scaring people as the demodog, she's playing with Gunner or her people. There are videos of her dressed up as a witch, an elf, and a rabbit. Greta always looks cute, but she only looks fierce as the demodog. The iconic villain costume pairs perfectly with her seeming ferocity.

Sprinkles is ready for bedtime

Sprinkles is fooling us all. This is clearly a man in a dachshund costume! He looks like little old grandpa, down to the small white hairs sprouting on his chin. Over 100,000 people fell in love with an Instagram clip revealing Sprinkles' human-like nighttime routine. He's snuggled in bed when the clip starts, lying on his back and waiting for someone to pull up the covers. The cutest thing about the image is what he's wearing. He's in a tiny button-down pajama shirt covered in baby dachshunds — making him look fancier than most adults. The grandpa theme continues when you see his plump belly pushing at the buttons.

After Sprinkles is comfortably tucked in, he gives a big smile and a few slow blinks. His paws rest over the edge of the blanket. "How I like to fall asleep," a commenter joked. Another added, "He's literally a little man."

For Lexi, the night is all about zoomies

Dachshunds make the best snuggle buddies, but there's one drawback. They're wild! When Lexi gets her 9 p.m. zoomies, she acts like she has the energy of three dogs. A TikTok video shows her playfully attacking the bed. One moment, she's snapping at the pillows like a little terror; the next, she's diving under the blankets and gazing lovingly at her owner. Her varied expressions turn her merry behavior into a show. It's amusing to watch the mayhem maker melt into a sweet pup. A viewer commented, "The end where he stops and reconsiders LMAO."

Scientists call zoomies frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs). No one knows for sure what causes them, although it's suspected that the exuberant behavior releases pent-up energy. Many dachshund owners who commented on Lexi's video said their dogs break out into zoomies on schedule. One even admitted that their pooch was nearly three and still acting like boisterous Lexi every night.

Lili's little grin could make her a model

Lili can make you laugh without doing a thing. Just look at her big, toothy grin. She's part sausage dog, part vampire. A TikTok video highlighting Lili and her tiny teeth has earned over 700,000 likes so far. One viewer commented, "OMG those little teefers," while others joked about how Lili looks exactly like the Simpsons character Mr. Burns when she has her row of pearly whites on display.

Dachshunds naturally have long, narrow skulls, a leftover from their days of sliding into small badger burrows. In Lili's case, that narrow frame exaggerates her toothiness and makes her even more entertaining. If you can't laugh at Lili's goofy look, maybe you can appreciate how cute she is. As a commenter on her teeth-baring video pointed out, "the tucked paws are not to be overlooked!" Lili likes to sit like a contented, loafing cat.

Noaa's eyes are big enough to take everything in

Some faces belong on T-shirts, and Noaa's is one of them. Her giant, slightly protuberant eyes give her a permanently startled expression, turning her into a TV character when she sees an adored object. An Instagram video depicts her humorous reaction. Her eyes open wider, and her lips twist slightly, almost as though she's trying to be funny. If she is, her efforts are working. "OMG her eyes got me every single time," a commenter said. Someone else confessed that they "laughed too hard."

The Instagram account featuring Noaa shows off her many big-eyed adventures. If you like her special look, you can fall in love with her again and again. Most of Noaa's Instagram content focuses on her unusual eyes, with captions like "find someone who looks at you the way Noaa looks at her fave toy," and "1% dachshund, 99% pure shock.🤭👀."

Wally knows that mornings are overrated

Wally might be the most relatable pup on this list. Everyone who's ever hit the snooze button can recognize the early-morning side-eye he throws in this TikTok video. The video starts with the golden-furred dog lying under a blanket in bed. Kirby, his canine best buddy, jumps up when the human starts moving. Kirby's ready to start the day, but Wally, however, recognizes that there's no reason get up early. As Kirby leaves the bed, Wally gives him a look that obviously says, "What are you thinking? Stay here where it's warm!" Wally then rolls over and makes himself more comfortable.

Blue Creek Doxies commented, "OMG hysterical." It's especially funny because dachshunds are actually pretty active dogs. They have squat little legs that don't give them much endurance, but they love to run. Wally isn't stealing a few extra minutes in bed because he's lazy; he's taking the rest because sometimes it feels glorious to lounge in bed, even if everyone else is already up.

Henry is all about lazy days on the couch

Henry's another dachshund that's willing to side-eye you. A popular Instagram video opens with a close-up of Henry. He's sitting straight up on a couch with his back resting against the back cushions and a blanket wrapped around his legs. He gives the camera the side-eye for a few moments before looking straight ahead. Viewers giggle over this video because Henry doesn't just look human, he somehow looks like a middle-aged man settling in to watch a football game or veg out on the couch. One commenter said Henry looks "like he's paying bills..."

Henry's human-like demeanor comes from his position on the couch. He's sitting up like a human, with the blanket making the picture look even more real. The side-eye is the final touch. A viewer commented, "He looks like me when I'm watching TV and don't want to be bothered."

CiCi is bouncing for revenge

Nothing's more annoying than being in the mood for a romp when your friend is ready for bed. CiCi solves this dilemma the best way she knows how — by repeatedly jumping up and down on a pillow placed at her friend's legs. You can see her funny movements in a TikTok video. The dog playing the part of the trampoline is Olive, and she's hilariously patient. It might be because the video is titled "CiCi's payback," and Olive knows that she deserves this revenge!

The camera catches Olive's face first, as she lies on a large couch cushion. She looks sleepy but slightly exasperated. The camera then pans over to her jumping tormentor. CiCi's little leaps are so gleeful and energetic that she may as well be on a bouncing carnival ride. Of course, poor Olive is stuck on the ride too. Her body shakes every time CiCi lands.

Mac's a cartoon character come to life

Mac's getting recognized for his cartoonish good lucks. If you're ever in need of a plucky dachshund that resembles Sid from "Ice Age," call Mac. His family created a YouTube audition tape showing how he can appear like famous cartoon characters. The right position and a bit of squinting also make him look a bit like Bartok from "Anastasia." "Mac is so darn cute and funny," a commenter noted.

Commenters can't agree on which cartoon character Mac pulled off the best. Both poses are natural, so he's too convincing. However, everyone does sense that Mac's a fun dog. Some even suggested additional characters he could pose as. For instance, he could pull off an interesting Bugs Bunny look because his front teeth are always poking out, just like the famous cartoon rabbit. That's another pose that no one would have to teach him.

Here's a ramp slider extraordinaire

Dogs usually don't get to play with slides in their own homes. The unnamed dachshund featured in this TikTok clip does, however. He turns his mobility ramp into a slide that he can use every day. When his body stretches on the makeshift slide, it's as though he becomes five times longer. He's so big that he can barely get a good slide in before he has to get up.

Sliding down ramps is another behavior that dachshund enthusiasts are calling out as typical for the breed. "Lmao this looks familiar," one commenter chimed in. Two more added that their dachshunds do the silly-looking slide every morning. This breed is prone to back problems, so it may feel really satisfying to stretch and move in an unusual way. Or, as one commenter mentions, they may appreciate the free belly rub that occurs when moving down the ramp.

Hazel and Heidi are perfectly in sync

Hazel and Heidi may as well be twins. Even their head tilts are practically in unison! Over 24 million people watched a viral Instagram video featuring a prank the dachshunds' owner played on them. She pretended to call her dad while sitting on a couch with the dogs and uttered a few trigger words.

At first, Hazel and Heidi pretend to mind their own business. Then they hear the word "car." Suddenly, their heads snapped to the side as if they trained for it. One commenter even said, "The dog in the front's gotta be a paid actor." As more trigger words drop, their heads whip from side to side. Park, did you say? Pup cup?! Multiple people said they were in tears from laughing so hard at this video. Others were more worried about making sure the dogs really did get the mentioned treats. One said, "You better have taken them to the dang park after this 🤣"

Shelby is a delivery dog in training

If Shelby created a dachshund delivery service, he might win an award for eagerness. However, he wouldn't perform so well on the handling packages component. His first attempt at bringing a package indoors was posted on Instagram, and he could barely move the box a few inches. However, nobody could be more excited about the task. His tail wags so fast you might think moving packages is the most interesting thing he's done in his life.

Shelby can't help you pick up your packages, but he can provide a little fun. Commenters like watching his dogged perseverance. He can barely latch his teeth onto the cardboard, yet he's still willing to keep grappling with the box. The scene is ripe for jokes, which commenters dutifully provide. One person calls Shelby a "delivery doxie," and another mentions that he should get a mail vest.

Fries always come first with Ollie

As a puppy, the best way to wake up from a nap might be by getting a cheese fry wafted in your face. At least, that's what little Ollie seems to think. In a video posted on Instagram, Ollie is sleeping peacefully inside a purse when someone slowly waves the fry in front of his nose. His nostrils twitch, his eyes pop open, and he immediately starts nibbling the treat. People chuckle because he's not even slightly bothered by his cheesy wakeup call.

Dachshunds are among the dog breeds with the best sense of smell, as they were bred to be hunters. There's no way to hide cheese from their keen noses. Ollie might've woken up from an even deeper nap for a taste of the good stuff. A few commenters agree with his instinct. "I would also wake up for a cheesy fry," one said.

Link is ready for mischief

Don't run with scissors. It's good advice, unless you're a dachshund intent on causing mischief. If a camera hadn't caught Link's silliness, it would've been hard to believe. The Instagram video, captioned "Death by wiener.. how embarrassing," lets you see Link the sausage dog trotting across the floor with giant scissors hanging from his mouth. He gives a quick look to the side, then moves onto a dog bed.

Is he plotting destruction? A few commenters jokingly suggested that the scissors were a threat for the next time someone skimped on treats. Another said, "Oh my gosh... new fear unlocked." The joke works even better if you pay attention to Link's expression. His dachshund side-eye makes it easy to imagine that he's a destructive plotter. If you were making a live-action movie about evil doxies, you might use this clip of Link running with scissors.

Time for breakfast with a side of chaos

Here's a recipe for early-morning chaos: combine eight dachshunds, a few toys, and a home-cooked breakfast with plenty of sizzling sausages! A viral TikTok video gives you a peek at the doggy brood resting in matching pajamas. They get up joyfully, with wagging tails and obvious energy. Soon, they're racing toward the kitchen. Influencer Yuna starts making breakfast immediately, but she can't contain the dogs' silly habits. They squirm, they play, and they tear into a stuffed toy, the toy's fluffy white innards lying in clumps around the floor.

The video is full of laugh-worthy moments, from the dachshunds' goofy look in their pajamas to the way they follow Yuna around. A commenter named Chris said, "The way they just sit in bed AWAKE and wait for the good morning is so funny." Others pointed out the hilarity in watching wiener dogs chow down on sausages. "Hotdog eating hotdog."
