Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

I’m so proud of Mr. Meal! #awkwarddog

Mr. Meal has company. Under "I'm so proud of Mr. Meal! #awkwarddog," viewers are talking about Oatmeal making a friend, with several comparing his body-slamming play style to their own dogs' enthusiastic introductions.

That upload was Adria and Oatmeal's most-watched new video, reaching roughly 565,000 views. The conversation has a familiar human undertone: commenters joke that Oatmeal is becoming more social than they are. For a channel whose description is "two clowns one leash," an awkward dog's social progress is very much on brand.

Adria posted nine videos, including ""Alone in the lagoon" is the title of Oat's memoir #awkwarddog" and another installment in the ongoing joke about Oatmeal's lack of thumbs. That last premise has history here: a pool-themed Short about his thumb-related excuse for not helping is among the channel's most-watched Shorts.

The freshest momentum belongs to "I love this stinky pumpkin 🎃 #pumpkinpatch," which has passed 100,000 views and is currently attracting views fastest. "C'mon huckleberry 🤣 #olddog" is also drawing a brisk daily audience.

Across the channel, daily viewing is below its usual pace, while the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Even so, the catalog added nearly ten million views. Among the nearby animal channels, Jared_and_Milo and Forrest Galante had larger weekly view gains; Adria and Oatmeal's week found its own small occasion in Mr. Meal making a connection.

For a socially awkward dog he seems to have a pretty good handle on appropriate play.
