This is either a cute animal video, or a dark short film about a hamster stuck in a rut.

The video, below, shows a hamster living in a tiny house, bingeing on snacks, wasting time on Facebook and unsuccessfully trying out online dating. He is also apparently a fan of Vans. An explicit song from hip-hop group Atmosphere also plays in the background, adding to the video's depressing tone.

Lily Mae Pinner, who uploaded the video to Vimeo, wrote, "No Hamsters were harmed. He regulary [sic] likes to play in the doll's house and got lots of strokes for being such a good actor. Lowbudgethamstermovie."

Well, as long as he's only acting.
