Animal Crossing's Tom Nook meets a terrible Nerf Gun fate in a hilarious viral video. Fan opinions on Tom Nook have always been divided throughout the series, with some harboring resentment over the massive amount of Bells they must give Tom Nook in Animal Crossing games to upgrade their home. With such strong fan opinions, it's not surprising a video of Nook being hit with a Nerf Gun has become so popular.
While his role has changed slightly in each Animal Crossing entry, Tom Nook has been a constant in every game since the series began. He tends to hand in running the town's general store alongside his adopted sons Timmy and Tommy, as well as managing players' home loans. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Tom Nook's Getaway Package is what first brings players to their new island. He is also instrumental in convincing both the Able sisters and Animal Crossing museum director Blathers to set up on the island.

Despite his importance in Animal Crossing towns, Twitter user Versiris has shared a hilarious and oddly cinematic video this week of a Tom Nook figurine being shot with a Nerf Gun. For added comedic effect the video has been shot in slow motion and shows Tom Nook reeling backward in a series of intricate flips after being hit. Other users have responded with hilarious edits set to different music. User Bonemethius tweeted a very funny rendition using the song "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap — the highly-memed song often called "Mmm Whatcha Say" - and changed the video's color to black and white. Another amazing edit by ImThrill3d has Nook's flight accompanied by a dramatic song from the opera Pagliacci.
