"Stuck squirrel" reminds me of the time my rather bulky cat tried to dive into the space between the wall and the upstairs bathroom sink. I was laughing so hard it took me a little bit to pull him out. I regret that I took no photos, because I was too sorry for his predicament to pause.

Live your life like a squirrel living out its arena rockstar fantasy.

They're just roleplaying the "Batman slapping Robin" meme.
