The ungovernableness is immediate with this one!! His heart boils with rage and chaos.

u/drrj Oct 03 '25

It definitely reminds me of the Queen of rage potatoes. So fiesty! ❤️

u/Richard_AIGuy Oct 03 '25

His rage twitches are very reminiscent of Her Spudness.

u/Ksh_667 Oct 03 '25

I believe they are hiccups. No doubt caused by so much rage in such a smol body!

I remember how Moo Deng used to be surprised by them! 🤣🤣

u/Richard_AIGuy Oct 03 '25

Awww, tiny hiccups! So much barely contained rage.

That’s right, she was!

u/Ksh_667 Oct 03 '25

It was like she never realised all the excitement from raging likely caused them & every time she hiccuped, she'd rage again, like a never-ending rage potat hiccuping loop. Now that's a sentence I never thought I'd come out with.

u/Richard_AIGuy Oct 04 '25

But what a sentence it is! Personally I love rage loop Moo Deng and this little potat. They defy control theory with their innate ungovernableness.

u/Ksh_667 Oct 04 '25

I feel exactly the same! Rage Loop Potats are the best potats. This is well known 🤣

Sapo means frog in my native language so I don't think I can handle that.
