The internet is cracking up over a viral clip involving the quirky, big-eyed Labubu doll. Known in China and across Asia as a collectable toy with a cult following, Labubu has now found itself at the centre of an accidental worship ritual in India. The short video, which has been doing the rounds on TikTok and X, shows a woman treating the doll as a revered figure, sparking equal parts amusement and disbelief online.
In the clip, an Indian woman can be seen performing traditional rituals for the toy — offering prasad, lighting incense, and bowing in devotion. What makes it all the more hilarious is that she believes the doll to be a Chinese god, completely unaware of its actual identity as a popular designer toy adored for its mischievous expression and eccentric charm.
According to the video’s caption, the mix-up began when the woman’s daughter casually told her that Labubu was a Chinese deity. Without question, the mother began worshipping it with full sincerity. Social media users were left in stitches over the cultural confusion, calling it one of the funniest cases of mistaken identity they’d seen in a while.
Internet is in splits
Some viewers found the incident a sharp commentary on blind faith, saying it showed how easily something could be elevated to divine status simply because someone said so. Others called it a charming display of innocence, while a few questioned whether the clip was genuine or staged for laughs. Some even saw it as a reflection of India’s unique ability to find divinity in anything, interpreting the scene as both humorous and oddly heartwarming.
