Gary Busey and the goose

When the actor described that he had a 'Christmas present' for his fans, they expected a heartfelt message or festive cheer. However, they were met with surprise — or rather shock — as the actor made a loud impression of a goose.

"Hey, it’s Gary Busey, and I have got a great Christmas present for you… That’s what a goose sounds like when they’re flying. They’re letting you know they’re up there… You get a bunch of geese together… They’re honking in the air,” he said.

Check out the video here.

In the middle of the video, Busey imitated the honking sounds. Fans and netizens are equally stunned by the actor’s latest video, which has garnered over 12 million views in a matter of hours on Instagram.

Netizens react

Why did Gary Busey make loud goose sounds? Nobody knows. The actor has over 380K followers on Instagram, and anyone who follows him would know that he has a unique way of approaching things online. The latest post has taken the internet by storm, with social media platforms flooded with memes.

"Gary Busey is still alive, alert, and somehow running on pure chaos,” wrote one X user.

Another netizen wondered why the video was going viral and quipped, "The internet is a scary place because I saw Texas native Gary Busey was trending here on X, and I immediately thought the worst, the same way that I did when I saw Dick Van Dyke trending over the weekend. Thank goodness it was just his Christmas message to us."

An Instagram user observed that the actor had not blinked once in the video. "Not one blink. Impressive." Another mocked, "Gary Goosey." One user said, "I never asked for this Christmas present, Gary." Some felt the actor gave a convincing impression of a goose: "Such a good actor. Thought he was a goose." Another wondered, "Does he ever blink?" A second found the video hilarious and said, "Too funny, Gary! Love this."

Though one cannot say whether it is funny or not, decoding the message would be a wild goose chase.
