Since dramatic hamster was created, the viral video has become a meme and has had millions of page views through internet sharing. Several individuals have remixed the clip and have added additional music, animals or imagery. These include giving the hamster props such as a monocle and a light saber and setting the clip to music from James Bond and Kill Bill movies. A series of other animals have also been given the dramatic treatment, including cats, dogs, lemurs, seals, lizards and more.
