People on the Internet love the playful emu named Emmanuel. He’s the funny bird at Knuckle Bump Farms in South Florida who can’t stop messing with his owner’s videos.
His silly behavior has made him an internet star, making everyone laugh with his constant video bombs.
Emmanuel, Don’t Do It!
Taylor Blake, who works at the farm, tries to teach people about animals through her videos, but Emmanuel has other plans.
The tall bird just can’t resist being naughty, especially when it comes to phones.
Whenever she starts filming, he pops up and pecks at her phone, making her say, “Emmanuel, don’t do it!”
Instant Star
Despite Taylor’s best efforts to keep Emmanuel in line, their funny back-and-forth has made them really popular.
Sometimes, she even uses his full name as a mom would with a naughty child: “Emmanuel Todd Lopez!” But it doesn’t stop him, and people just can’t get enough.
Catchphrase Craze

The “Emmanuel, don’t do it” line is so catchy that you can almost hear Taylor Blake saying it just by reading it.
Now, people are even joking about making T-shirts with the catchphrase.
It’s a fun way to remember the wild and funny relationship between Emmanuel and everyone who watches him.
The Love is Clear

Taylor and Emmanuel might play-fight on camera, but you can tell they really care about each other.
You can often catch Taylor trying not to smile as she asks Emmanuel to quit it.
And since Emmanuel doesn’t flinch when Taylor speaks, it’s clear he’s comfortable and feels safe with her.
A Part of His World
Even though Emmanuel likes to stir things up, we can all see he’s just looking for attention and love.
The videos of him and Taylor remind us of the happiness and silliness animals can bring into our lives.
In a way, we’re all part of Emmanuel’s fun little world.
