The bark was so intense that it led many fans to question if he had been saving it for a long time:

The barking incident was the latest in a series of groundbreaking moments from Speed's visit to Hong Kong. Years from now, when historians look back on this era, they will point to this moment as the pinnacle of internet culture. Not because it was profound, but because it was perfect in its stupidity. As he continues to push the boundaries of what is considered 'entertainment', we can only hope that many more such moments come our way.
