That's a dizzy *hamster*, right? [wiping eyes]: Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:12 AM

LOL! That is one determined hammie.: A thinker; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:13 AM

OMG! I thought I was the only one to do the happy dance over cookies!!! Too moishe!: paula; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:16 AM

I wanted to see him finally get a cookie! There must be Massive Cookie Effort part 2!: Golden; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:17 AM

I... will.... never... let... go... EHN!: shanchan; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:17 AM

HAHAHAHAHA! OMGosh that is one silly hammie. I bet he got so dizzy he forgot about eating a cookie.: sydney; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:18 AM

There are two things in the world worth struggling for: freedom, and animal cookies.: ask-god-a-question.com; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:18 AM

I dunno if the hammie's dizzy, but I sure am! Notice that he reversed directions at one point. When I was a kid, we did that, supposedly to counteract the dizzyness from spinning around in one direction too long. Didn't seem to work in hammie's case -- sent him right over on his little back! (Boy, those paws were a scramblin' trying to get back upright). I think even the cookies were dizzy by the end of that!: useta hada kitteh; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:18 AM

oh my gosh, those kicking legs are just too much for me!: Seth T.; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:19 AM

Please give the little guy a cookie! No wonder he couldn't walk straight LOL: Liz; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:19 AM

Hahaha! He just keeps going!: Angela; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:21 AM

Oh the little kicking feet. I'm going to look at this over and over and over and over and over go the other way over and over and....dizzzzzy fell down and can't get up: sydney; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:22 AM

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!! I want heem! (And the cookies too.): Subhangi; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:24 AM

I laughed so loud and hard I just about burst my gut looking at this hilarious and very Qte video! I go ga-ga over cookies, too! Too moische! If I were there I'd give him the entire bag of animal cookies, and then some of my other cookies as well. Heck, he is so darn Qte, he can have ALL my cookies! Don'tcha worry, though. I can always go to the store and get more later on.: Noel; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:24 AM

I'm giggling madly at my computer now...I love when the little guy drags the treasure off to the other room!: Jaye; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:24 AM

I am so glad I didn't see this at work--I'd have been at my desk, hand clamped to mouth, emitting high-pitched animal noises. I'm glad I wasn't taking the video, either--I'd have been laughing so hard it would have been jumpier than the Homicide: Life on the Street vomitcam. No waiting for the payoff on this video: instant ham-larity!: Peg of Tilling; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:25 AM

I'm seriously glad my boss isn't in right now. He would have come to investigate my chortling over little hammie's FEETS all kickin and squirmin and wigglin...Hehehe: kelly; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:25 AM

Oooh! that made meh dizzeh! God, I love watching his little back legs and pantaloons pumping up and down as he scurries into the kitchen. Hahaha!: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:26 AM

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ded!* *green confetti*: Faekitty (Heather M.); | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:29 AM

Aheem, now that I'm not Ded, that was like a trainwreck! You just CAN'T stop yourself from watching eet! Like.. "OmG! Someone is going to fall over! Be it the Hammie? Or the Camera person?! WHO KNOWS!!!" eeeeeee..thud....*didn't breathe enough, ded again*..: Faekitty (Heather M.); | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:32 AM

THAT is PERFECT: ariel; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:33 AM

That is so adorable! Now I want a hamster ^^ She looked like she was trying to escape after she did all that spinning lol: SarahSuiren; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:35 AM

Don't you DARE touch his cookies! He's just like me. You should see me with my cookies. I'm just as possessive. LOL Anyone who DARES touch his bag of animal cookies will face certain death, and it won't be pretty.: Noel; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:37 AM

Oh My Heck!!! How prosh!!! How qte!!! How ... perfectly hammie!!: SeaBreeze; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:38 AM

Hammie tocks! I keep staring at those fuzzy wuzzy hammie tocks! So cuuuuuuuute, widdle tocks!: Noel; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:39 AM

Aaaa! I know the music from childhood and it's driving me nuts. Somebody please tell me that it's either (a)Night on Bald Mountain (b)the Dinosaur movement from Carnival of the animals, or (c) something by Grieg. sorry to be a dork, but's really bothering me. oh and the hammy is DIVINE!: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:41 AM

I am at work, and I'm sitting at my desk trying not to giggle out loud (suppressing that much laughter is actually kind of painful). He didn't look like he really *needed* the cookies--his chubby little buns and haunches kept cracking me up.: heidilynn; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:42 AM

OMG! hammie on his back, cookie still in his mouth, and all his little footies swinging helplessly in the air. Too much!: Ray; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:43 AM

First I stared it completely hypnotised - until the poor thing fell on his back. Those teeny tiny feet whipping the air - too much. I shall never recover.: Lisa; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:46 AM

QUEET following me! I must eet zee cookies in peace!: Pheas; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:49 AM

The fact that it's "Dance Macabre" made me laugh along with the cute.: leprechaun; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:49 AM

Anner - It's definitely not night on bald mountain, and I don't think it's Grieg. You might be right about Carnival of the Animals, but I don't think it's the fossil movement.: h3; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:50 AM

OK, crisis averted. It's the "Fossils" movement from Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens. We should really hear more of this piece on this site...if for no other reason than that there's a movement called "Wild Asses.": anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:51 AM

OMG I'm watching this again and again and squeeing like an idiot. Somebody help meeeeee.: Subhangi; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:52 AM

Oh, ok, maybe it is the fossil movement - Wikipedia says Saint-Saëns quoted the Danse Macabre in Fossils.: h3; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:52 AM

lebrechaun -OMG! You're right. I'm wrong. Still Saint-Saens, right? I am a totally failed product of consevatory training. But proudly fulfilling the stereotype of non-studious singer.: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:53 AM

h3 - aha. that explains why i actually listened to a clip of the Fossil mvt. and was still wrong... I like how it's a waltz and the hammy is going around in circles.He looks like a wind-up toy!: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:54 AM

Ohh, this made me laugh so hard!! Not lettin' go, NO NO it's MY cookies, dammit!! [butt waddles down hallway]: jaypo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:54 AM

GENIUS!!: Deb!; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:55 AM

when he tips over...are those "hammiloons?": anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:55 AM

The music for this was certainly perfect. Too cute. Reminds me of all our family's past hamsters.: Mindy Thornton; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:56 AM

Anner - the song is "Danse Macabre" composed by Camille Saint-Saëns and though while not from "Carnival of Animals," Saint-Saëns also composed it as well. (according to Wikipedia, the Dinosaur movement and Danse Macabre employ similar xylophone motifs, so that may be why is sounds familiar) Not sure if you're a Buffy fan, but you may remember it from one of their episodes (at least, that's where *I* remembered it from). As for the hammy, I think my brain just as'ploded.: chicklet; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:57 AM

OMG the music i think totally makes this most hilarious.: Rae; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:57 AM

D'oh! I was too late! :( Note to self: don't be so wordy next time.: chicklet; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:59 AM

Yes, we do need a part two where hammie gets his cookie!! Just too cute....: Sissy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:59 AM

Thanks, Chicklet. There are a number of ominous-sounding programatic symphonic pieces that I always seem to confuse; at least now I know why I'm confusing those two. I don't remember the Buffy episode, but then I watched all 7 seasons last year within the span of a couple months, so it's probably crammed into my brain somewhere. Isn't it great how small animals don't seem at all daunted by trying to carry things many times their size? And how hamster and corgi butts look kind of similar?: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:02 AM

tears streaming down cheeks, shaking violently at desk, gasping for air.............: jenn; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:04 AM

Did anyone besides me notice that little hammie made a beeline (kind of) straight to the LIQUOR cabinet?! I think this must be where he started from before he got the cookies!!: doodlebug; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:05 AM

All of the music in "Carnival of the Animals" is snippets of longer pieces by different composers simply played at a different tempo. CotA is a wonderful introduction to the orchestra piece, and the best version has Hugh Downs doing the narration. Because there's nothing like Hugh Downs saying "a tasty kangaroo merangue". http://tinyurl.com/2zzmm6 (Not to mention the cover art is absolutely wonderful. I made my mother save the cardboard album cover long after the record had given all it could.): ljlucy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:06 AM

I thought he was a wind up toy at first.Talk about determined, give the poor little bugger a cookie: The Honourable Gladys Anstruther; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:06 AM

Great video, but I hope they got the cookies out for him--not just because he really *deserves* a cookie after all that, but also because plastic bags are dangerous to pets. If he ingests bits, it can block his intestinal track, and of course there is also the suffocation risk. But the video is truly adorable.: tblue; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:06 AM

Buffy??!!! Did someone say Buffy??? Which episode is it in?? God, I wish I had speakers at work!: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:07 AM

Doodlebug - that's the pet name my parents have for me - Doodlebug! :): DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:08 AM

Little Hammie: No! You cannot have my COOKIES! They are MIIINNNNEEEE! *runs away* HEE HEE! I hope he got his cookies!: Lesley; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:10 AM

ljlucy - jeez, i never new that. i'm learn-ding! my dad had a recording with Sir Noel Coward. it was on reel-to-reel! when he sold his collection several years ago, that was the one think i asked him put it on cassette first. chicklet - no problem. repetition aids the learn-ding.: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:11 AM

If there is not already a Motion Picture Academy Award category this video can win, one should be created immediately. Seriously.: Zombie; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:22 AM

DKN - It's from "Hush." It's the piece Giles plays when he's explaining who The Gentlemen are and how they work. Anner - Thanks :) (and Hush is from season 4, the college season, in case that triggers something from the depths): chicklet; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:22 AM

DKN - found it on Wiki-P. it's "Hush", episode 10, season 4, during the hilarious scene in the lecture hall when Giles is trying to explain who the "gentlemen" are, but nobody's able to talk. he uses it to accompany his presentation.: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:24 AM

The Buffy episode with this song was the one when they couldnt talk. They are at the school and Giles is talking to them about the monsters on overhead projector. This is when the song is playing. :-D: Alida; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:25 AM

i hope someone else is writing the same thing as me right now and that i will post this comment to discover that it is redundant...: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:26 AM

LOL, sorry about that Anner: Alida; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:28 AM

LOL anner: chicklet; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:28 AM

bwahahahah.... gasp for air.... bwahahahaah... omg that is toooooo kewt!!!1! I *lufs* heem!: ceejoe; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:36 AM

Now that's my kinda hamster. Cookies and waltzing. Sounds like a romantic evening...: Sari; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:40 AM

too prosh!!! my Lab does that with my unnerwear..only she doesn't fall down like that. Oh- CO- you make my days in the cube farm bearable!: amy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:54 AM

brilliant!: moi; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:55 AM

I was at work, and I did laugh hysterically, and my boss was there, not 10 feet away. And at that moment he was talking to an important partner, ABOUT ME. I almost made it without publicly humiliating myself, but when hammie fell over and had to carry away his loot to the other room, that did me in.: mleiv; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:56 AM

I luv that even when he's all dizzy and flipped over on his back, he STILL won't let go of the cookies! He's looking for a dark quiet place to stash and then devour them, but the large pink animal keeps following him....: wendy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 09:56 AM

I don't know which has me laughing harder, the video or the discussion... either way today is looking like a good day ^_^: one of the erins; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:02 AM

"I'm seriously glad my boss isn't in right now. He would have come to investigate my chortling over little hammie's FEETS all kickin and squirmin and wigglin...Hehehe Posted by: kelly | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:25 AM: Kelly...Me too! I love his feets kickin all over tryin to get up. I can't help but giggle at my hammie when she does that when I turn her over on her back. Is it mean that I want to put cookies in a bag and see if my hammie will do that too?: Tarah; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:03 AM

I know that feeling well. Must. HAVE. A COOKIE!!! Oh, and his chubby little 'tocks wiggling their way into the kitchen were too much!: wiven57; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:10 AM

Alida, Anner, Chicklet - Thanks! Now I don't have to wonder all day until I get home to listen to it. That is SUCH a brilliant episode. I think if I have my Buffy facts straight, that was the only one that was ever nominated for an Emmy.: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:15 AM

I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT! ayeeeeahah heyehahahah yeeeeeeeeeeee: Lomie; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:15 AM

DKN & all the Buffies -- that was a creepy one... but my all-time fave is: "They GOT... "The MUSTARD... "...OUUUUUUT!": Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:19 AM

"I was having a bad bad day...sir please won't put that pad away...I'm asking you please NOOOO! It isn't right it isn't fair...there was no parking anywhere, hey I'm not wearing underwear...why can't you let it gooooo???": DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:22 AM

Theo please tell me you know about the Buff-along?? We have here in NYC: http://uncoolkids.com/buffy: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:24 AM

That has really lifted my mood! Just wanted to thank you guys for submitting and posting it- I really needed it after a day like this!: Kate; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:25 AM

i think "hush" was my favorite episode. it was like a short film. but the musical was pretty incredible. i loved Tara singing to Willow in her LARPER dress. and of course... "Bunnies, bunnies, it must be BUNEE-EE-EES!": anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:41 AM

hmm. i guess that's "LARPer".: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:42 AM

Anner - "...or maybe midgets". I met Emma Caufield (Anya) at some horror convention (I only went to see her). She is teeninecy! - even in high heeled boots. I could of folded her up and put her in my pocket. And yes Tara rocks in that episode!: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:50 AM

Weeeeeeeell, that first part kicked in my vertigo, but then i was saved by the shakin hamster bootie!!! That is one driven hammie!: BunFF; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:55 AM

I'm getting dizzy!: Lady Ann; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:55 AM

DKN wow! lucky you. my husband would love to meet Emma Caulfield, as she is one of the many "older" women (including me) he has a thing for.: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 10:58 AM

She is a total hottie, that's for sure. And so funny!: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:07 AM

So funny! The bit where he flips over and his little feets just keep flailing made me sporfle, and then I showed my mum. Yay cookies!: Allison; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:10 AM

OK... to be perfectly honest, I'm not *quite* the Buffy fan that Jaye & the girls are. I'm definitely a Firefly guy, though.: Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:11 AM

I can totally see my beagle doing that if he were a hamster (and even if he weren't). Plus, gotta love the Danse Macabre soundtrack.: JuliaJellicoe; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:12 AM

Anner, yes, those ominous symphonic pieces? Totally interchangeable. I went to see, um, Justin Timberlake at a club in D.C. last summer (seriously, he's cool now, it's ok) and the music when they played when he was coming out was the theme from "In the Hall of the Mountain King." And I was all excited, because I was going through a Grieg phase. Then the next day the Washington Post music guy identified it as Peter and the Wolf. Uh-uh, my friend! Uh-uh!: h3; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:17 AM

Yeah, I admit it - I'm a BIG Joss Whedon noid. I adore Fire Fly. Thats about the extent of my fanatical geekiness...well that and this site ;-P: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:24 AM

Wow. I laughed so hard I gave myself a headache and had to pop some xtra strength Advil. At least that is what I hope, because this was seriously funny enough to laugh myself into a brain aneurism.: Beautiful Drunk; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:54 AM

Browncoats Unite!: DejaMew; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:55 AM

HAHAHAHAHA leave me alone dammit! that's what he's saying: Hamster Too Fat To Run; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:00 PM

Those FEET! I can't get over those leetle feetsies still running when he's on his back!: Suzanne; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:00 PM

DejaMew - RIGHT ON.: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:02 PM

Former browncoat (still mad he killed Wash - grrrrrrr!). Not so much a Buffy fan, but I did love Hush. I almost bought the little creepy guy dolls - they were all articulated and came with cool little mad scientist acessories. Not that I'm a doll collector or anything, but I love the creepy.: mleiv; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:06 PM

[...]Extraido de Cute Overload[...]: Animals Files » ¡¡¡Quiero una!!!; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:16 PM

DKN - My second favourite part of OMWF! My first being Spike, of course: But since I'm only dead to you I'm sayin' stay awaaaaaaay And let me rest in peace Theo, just for you: He robbed from the rich And he gave to the poor Stood up to the man And gave him what for Our love for him now Ain't hard to explain The hero of Canton The man they call Jayne Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin' He saw the mudders' lament And he saw the magistrate takin' Every dollar and leavin' five cents So he said "you can't do that to my people" He said "you can't crush them under your heel" So Jayne strapped on his hat And in 5 seconds flat Stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal He robbed from the rich And he gave to the poor Stood up to the man And gave him what for Our love for him now Ain't hard to explain The hero of Canton The man they call Jayne Now here is what separates heroes From common folk like you and I The man they call Jayne He turned 'round his plane And let that money hit sky He dropped it onto our houses He dropped it into our yards The man they called Jayne He stole away our pain And headed out for the stars He robbed from the rich And he gave to the poor Stood up to the man And gave him what for Our love for him now Ain't hard to explain The hero of Canton The man they call Jayne.: chicklet25; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:17 PM

Hilarious! The music really makes it.: Angela-Eloise; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:31 PM

OMG ROFLMAO!! When he flipped over on his back and was kicking his little feets... omg!! ROFL!!! *sniffle* wiping tears of laughter..: Jenne; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:32 PM

Holy bananas! THAT is hilarious. I love that the *human* would probably open the bag for him, but..... HELL no - yer not gettin your hands on my bagocookies, lady....: de; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:36 PM

Chicklet - THAT was my favorite Fire Fly episode. Mmmmm....Spike *sigh*: DKN; | Mar 08, 2007 at 12:37 PM

OMG, the music made the whole thing! And I like how he was hugging the cabinets at the end. Kinda stayin in the safety zone eh lil fellah? Can't tip over if you are already leaning on the wall.: PuppyMomma; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:00 PM

OMG,OMG - other firefly FANS! *hugs* I bought the box-set - made my family watch it, yup, I can die now knowing I made the world a better place. ;) My Degus who are about 10x the size of these wee hammies do the stop 'n spin move on the wheel all the time. Often sycronized. It's pretty cool but I'm not sure I'd ever be able to capture it on camera. These shot kick-BUM! ;): wolfwhocriedboy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:12 PM

h3 - how funny! i notice all these pieces also tend to be things that are aimed at children one way or another. i grew up hearing Peter and the Wolf, Night on Bald Mountain, Danse Macabre, Peer Gynt, and Carnival of the Animals, and they've all mushed together, sometimes to be joined my the last movement of Berioz's Symphonie Fantastique (which I didn't hear until college). maybe the combo of studying opera and growing up on MTV has me addicted to lyrics as signposts. and yes, timberlake is much cooler now, sans britney and weird curly hairdo.: anner; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:26 PM

Chicklet -- no... THIS is what it feels like, to go mad.: Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:39 PM

1) Love the hamster and his daring daylight heist 2) Love Buffy and Hush too. 3) That music is also used as the theme from British TV show Jonathan Creek, about the behind-the-scenes magic expert who solved mysteries. 4) And also occasionally co-starred Anthony Stewart Head (aka Giles). That is all.: lezlee; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:41 PM

HA! "Mustn't Let Go! Enh!!": Shadyman; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:41 PM

Theo and others - I'm a Browncoat too! Alas, there weren't any cute animals anywhere in Firefly/Serenity (the cows don't count). But just imagine Kaylee with a kitten...: acelightning; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:42 PM

Now that I've got the weight balanced right in this bag o' goodness, I just..have...to... round this corner to get away from nosy human who wants to ruin my smorgasboard! Yikes! It follows me! How about this corner?!: Ned; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:44 PM

Ace -- there was some talk of smuggling *beagles*... smallish droppings, y'know.: Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:45 PM

Now that is determination! I love those little flaying feet when she tips over! Like a little windup toy that flips over. So funny.: eikoleigh; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:46 PM

Hey everyone, glad you like the hammie video I submitted. Thanks Kate for the message! I found the link to this on Facebook and I couldn't stop watching it ... it made my day too!: Stephanie F; | Mar 08, 2007 at 01:57 PM

SO funny and cute-I LOVE the music and am always deeply impressed by the speed with which these things are identified! That might be bad grammer.: Jorden; | Mar 08, 2007 at 02:14 PM

I say. I do declare this is the bestest video evar to be featured in Cute Overload. evar. and I think that when the wee little one was on his back his feets keep on moving because he hadn't realized she wasn't running no mo': mariser; | Mar 08, 2007 at 02:59 PM

All day I have longed to comment, but work computer was too pokey. I cast this as an opera because of the high drama and the repetitive quality of most opera arias. In Italian, of course, with English in supertitles: Hammie: I have the cookies! I have the cookies! Mine mine mine! Glorious, glorious cookies! Mom: Please let me help you. Hammie: I do not need your help. Mine all mine! Mom: If only you would let me open the bag... Hammie: [flopping and kicking] No no no no no no no! Mine mine mine! Glorious cookies all mine! Oh, where can I run? Where can I flee? I must flee from those who would steal my cookies! Mom: I only want to help you. I would never steal your cookies. Hammie: Treasonous harlot. I run from your diabolical machinations. Mine mine mine! Oh, where can I hide? I must flee with my cookies! No no no! Hideous trap! There is nowhere to run!!! Aaaaaaaah!: Redzilla; | Mar 08, 2007 at 03:30 PM

That's it. I've made my decision about what to buy with my annual bonus check. I'm going to get a videocamera. With three ferrets, four cats and a dog, I've got to get something that's CO-worthy. Seeing this cinematic masterpiece cinched it. As others have said, the music was a perfect choice.: Noelegy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 04:11 PM

Wow, I almost had a heart attack! The title didn't make sense, but I saw a YouTube with a "Stephanie F" at the bottom, and thought it was the YouTube I sent in since I'm a Stephanie F! I just couldn't figure out what a two-legged dog had to do with cookies. *sigh* Maybe soon. Maybe not. Mine was more sad than cute, I suppose. Anyhow, this is just too prosh. He was determined to get those cookies!: yankeebird; | Mar 08, 2007 at 04:36 PM

Redzilla, I wish I could hear the singers singing your words opera-style in English. It would be hilarious! LOL! By the way, if hammie were in my house, he'd get CERTIFIED ORGANIC cookies. He'd be a certified organic hammie. Yum yum yum yum yum!: Noel; | Mar 08, 2007 at 04:41 PM

He's TOO funny but from the "waddle" I'd say he probably has had enough cookies. Not that I'm one to talk.: Mary; | Mar 08, 2007 at 04:42 PM

LOL:Maybe he was a turtle in a previous life. Recurring nightmareish situation. Kinda like when you are running away from a monster in your dreams and you can't seem to get anywhere.: Faye; | Mar 08, 2007 at 05:16 PM

These cookies are mine, mine, mine, mine - DON'T TOUCH - mine, mine, mine...: BBM; | Mar 08, 2007 at 05:24 PM

He even refused to stop running when overturned as if defending his cookies to the very end.: ask-god-a-question.com; | Mar 08, 2007 at 05:46 PM

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Ohhhhhh, the poor darling little hammie with his (her?) cookies. (*MY!* cookies! *MINE!!* MINEMINEMINEMINEMINE! ) And OOOOHHHH!!!! the mean terrible - WICKED - plastic bag separating him/her from the cookies. How cruel!! Poor little precious punkin'!! But .... the combination of hammie and Saint-Saens almost tossed me off my chair. It's really fortunate that I stopped this vid at work just a few seconds after it started. Just once in a while, I try to display some semblance of grown-up-ness. ... But not really that often, so it prolly wouldn't have been a BIG problem. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!: Tara; | Mar 08, 2007 at 06:10 PM

oh. motion sickness now. cute motion sickness.: thepetmuseum; | Mar 08, 2007 at 06:34 PM

teeheehee, pirouettes!: Christy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 06:40 PM

aaaaaahaha priceless! does that hammie look extra big though?: Mia; | Mar 08, 2007 at 07:10 PM

LOL! I loved the part where the little hamster was on its back and struggling to right itself yet DID NOT LET GO OF THE COOKIE while struggling to roll back over. So cute! So determined! <3: Andrea; | Mar 08, 2007 at 07:20 PM

Redz-- Well the opera is a little easier to follow than the ballet version.: lauowolf; | Mar 08, 2007 at 07:23 PM

PetMuseum -- you know, it's pretty impressive... all that spinning, and he never did lose his cookies.: Theo; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:11 PM

YAY COOKIES!!! And I love how the human was clearly gauging the exact point at which not helping became more evil than funny. Reaching in like "Not... yet... wait for it... now!" Have any of the other Buffy fans hear Anthony Stewart Head's album? It is so, so, so bad. Love the man, love his voice, but the writing, oh my god. "Cheap Wine Lies." Seriously. Although it's cute how he has Amber Benson and James Marsters guest on it.: elizabells; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:28 PM

Redzilla mah dear, THAT was easily one of the FUNNIEST things I've read in a LONG time. Cudos, I almost peed myself. I'm now seeing this total hammy-opra in my head. Just the vision of a hamster with a horned hat and a gold bra is enough to send me into laugh-induced coma. ;): wolfwhocriedboy; | Mar 08, 2007 at 08:46 PM

I'm with you guys... YAY COOKIES!!!: luckycliff; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:20 PM

Now I'm going to imagine all hamsters calling women "treasonous harlots." Bwa ha ha.: R. Moore; | Mar 08, 2007 at 11:44 PM

Redzilla, that is wonderful! My Saturday afternoons include the Met broadcast and I eagerly await the premiere of this one - will provide great fodder for the Opera Quiz also. In awe at the qtness and the witty comments as always...: ezreader; | Mar 09, 2007 at 05:52 AM

tocks in motion!: fifi; | Mar 09, 2007 at 06:03 AM

OMG!!!! I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD! I HAD TEARS COMING OUT OF MY EYES! WHAT A WAY TO START A FRIDAY! THANKS!!!!: MARYBETH; | Mar 09, 2007 at 06:13 AM

That was F***ing hilarious! Though I felt sorry for the poor hammie too... How come he didn't rip the bag apart though? Silly boy...: Nuri; | Mar 09, 2007 at 06:14 AM

HOWLS! oh meg, gimme a minute...: blair; | Mar 09, 2007 at 06:31 AM

The latest Hamster Ballet: The Hamster And the Cookies. I could see hammie as a ballerina, especially at the part where he/she spins and spins and spins around and around and around. Now he/she just needs a little ballerina outfit and cute little ballet shoes on those little feetsees, and he/she is good to go.: Noel (Hammie should be a ballerina); | Mar 09, 2007 at 07:12 AM

elizabells--I haven't heard that yet, but I also looove his voice. When I saw a video of Anthony Stewart Head as Dr. Frankenfurter (hose, heels, the *works*) I almost died laughing. I had to wait until I got home from work too--holy crap!! That is one determined little fella. When he fell over, all I could hear was "ehn! ehn! ehn!" Too funny.: layla42; | Mar 09, 2007 at 07:22 AM

Who among us can actually say that we haven't made similar efforts to secure some cookies? Anyone?: ask-god-a-question.com; | Mar 09, 2007 at 07:48 AM

I dub thee Sir Ham-a-lot, Guardian of the Cookies.: Dustbunny; | Mar 09, 2007 at 08:10 AM

pHAMtom of the Opera??: Daisycat; | Mar 09, 2007 at 08:24 AM

Redzilla - love the opera! La BoHAM! (by Qteccini): anner; | Mar 09, 2007 at 08:28 AM

Oh, my GOOTness! What haff we heres? A hammie set on the pwize! Watch him scuwwy away!: compy-saur; | Mar 09, 2007 at 09:10 AM

Best post ever!: A.; | Mar 09, 2007 at 09:10 AM

Dances with hamsters!!!: Fuzzybutt; | Mar 09, 2007 at 09:31 AM

I just bought 10 box of girl scout cookies I'll share with you fuzzy guy.: sydney; | Mar 09, 2007 at 11:14 AM

I meant BOXES BOXES.: sydney; | Mar 09, 2007 at 11:15 AM

First timer, was sent here by kind friend; the hamster is incredible, I laughed so hard I had to see it again...and again...and again, just to get used to it enough to stop laughing!!! Thanx MUCHLY for starting my Friday the RIGHT way!: Niki; | Mar 09, 2007 at 11:16 AM

Hey again everyone! Hammie is a girl ... her name is Gom Soon and she's about 6 months old. Owner Ed D. says he will do a follow-up video. Can't wait!: Stephanie F; | Mar 09, 2007 at 02:27 PM

xD I laughed out loud at this! (And I really want to know what piece is the background music!? It sounds like something that Camille Saint-Saens wrote, almost.): Christine; | Mar 09, 2007 at 03:28 PM

OK, in response to my own comment... It IS Saint-Saens, looking at these other comments... I knew I recognized the xylophone part. xD: Christine; | Mar 09, 2007 at 03:34 PM

OMG. The whirling and twirling. The little scurrying (upside down) feets. The "I ain't nevah lettin go of mah cookees" determination. Too, too moiche. *shakes head* And then - is it just me, or was the first cupboard she went to the Pantry??? (or should that be Hamtry...) And now thanks to Redzilla (and others) not only am I imagining the hampster with the little horned hat, leather skirt and metal bra, but I am imagining a whole cast of little hammy opera characters..... I can see them now.....: kgirl81; | Mar 09, 2007 at 10:23 PM

Late to the party here. Redzilla - Your opera! Wonnnderful! Wow. That was really good. When I watch the vid I definitely hear Flight of the Bumble Bee by Korsakov. Alternately, I also hear Around the World by Daft Punk.: pyrit; | Mar 10, 2007 at 06:34 AM

Hello Gom Soon fans. I have posted the Directors Cut of the Cookie Movie. It includes cut scenes and a couple photos of Gom Soon! Enjoy =) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/469290/i_want_cookies/: shooto Ed; | Mar 10, 2007 at 08:19 AM

That got a laugh. Poor little thing, I hope cookies were had, eventually.: redbone; | Mar 10, 2007 at 11:19 AM

Now I got the cookies,I RUN TO THE KITCHEN AND EAT THEM!!! (or perhaps store them in my pouches).: Steve; | Mar 10, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Okay, I know it's really late for comments, but I must... OMG eee eee eee circle circle circle *plop* FEETFEETFEET!!! run run run hehehehehehehee ...okay, all better now. :): tsaiah; | Mar 10, 2007 at 04:06 PM

OMG that is a funny video. I'll bet the hamster knows the bag is going to be taken away. Gnawing through plastic is bad for hamsters. So are sweet snacks. But that hammy's still giving it one hell of a try.: Teresa Nielsen Hayden; | Mar 11, 2007 at 10:45 AM

The hamster needs to stop running around in circles, or she'll end up tossing her cookies. ...tiny print footnote: Three movements of "Carnival of the Animals" use quotes, the rest are originals...: Kip W; | Mar 11, 2007 at 12:29 PM

Yeah, I pretty much do that when I get cookies too.: Brak_Silverbone; | Mar 11, 2007 at 03:42 PM

I died. I *died*. Then I came back to life to watch it again and died again. The best part is where the hamster flips over and all his feet are waving in the air, and he could right himself if he just let go of the cookies--but he never does. Did he get the cookies in the end?: Issendai; | Mar 11, 2007 at 04:41 PM

ZOMG! i've watched thees like 7 times! *wiggles grubby little mouse feet in the air* CUUUUUTE: Genn; | Mar 11, 2007 at 05:39 PM

There's something about the shot of a hammie's backside that's hysterical! This was a true work of art - I laughed so hard my side hurt. and, Browncoats - Simon does mention having a hamster named after him. I think it was in the much sung Jayne's Town episode. How's THAT for tying together supposedly unrelated items?: Tam; | Mar 11, 2007 at 10:48 PM

It's spasming in ectasy that it has some cookies! So cute :): Andrea DuBois; | Mar 12, 2007 at 03:21 PM

HAW HAW HAW still laughing... *snicker*: luckycliff; | Mar 16, 2007 at 12:53 AM

So. Freaking. Great. XD: Noamuth; | Apr 06, 2007 at 09:33 PM

*falls off chair laughing* Da feet! OMG! Da FEET!!!!! x-D: Lerrinus; | Jul 29, 2007 at 07:27 PM
