and the double-take!!!

it kinda looks like she has a white shawl around her shoulders, to keep off the chill...

I love how she saunters off at the end.

The cat needs better editing and different music. "Dramatic chipmunk" music works only for the prairie dog.

You need something more menacing and dark for the cat. Like an old 1940's radio voice. "Who knows what darkness lies in the hearts of me?" Cat turns around. "THE SHADOW KNOWS!"

Or something of the like.

Not even close, the prairie dog's dramatic performance is far superior than the amateurish cat. The new clip is too long and poorly edited. Tsk. Nope.

Oscar = Prairie Dog
Razzy = Imitator Cat

The cat was cuter.

ohmylord, sry the prairie dog is DEFINITELY BEATEN!!

Janaki
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 04:17 PM

omg, tff! that's a scottish-fold cat, no? the indignant look on the cat's face, the "don't you eff with me" attitude. rofl, easy winner over the dramatic prairie dog, for sure! also kind of funny both animals are both from Asia. are animals in asia more dramatic than elsewhere? hehe.

*goes and watches videos again*

Hahaha, I submitted this yesterday too. Of course, this anerable Scottish Fold kitteh comes to us from... Japan! It's yet another example of them handing us our asses in cuteness.

One of the YouTube-suggested "related" videos is this dramatic lemur. The music is perfect, too:

I am a cat lover, but even I think the prairie dog kicks a$$. As does Other Mike's Dramatic Lemur suggestion. Sorry, Kitteh...but you are still cute.

I like that prairie dog one. Reminds me of my hamster whenever he hears a sudden noise.

Darn those Japanese! Teh Qte is with them.

The prairie dog remains the king.

Dexter Fishmore
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 05:47 PM

This one made me gol (guffaw...) w00t!!

BTW, here's my ass for the kicking...again.

What are you DOING??? That's my BAD SIDE!!!

bryn
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:09 PM

The cat one made me snort!

And I also really like the lemur, especially with the THX soundtrack. The best way to play that music is to start quietly and then crank it as it gets louder. Yay George Lucas!

 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:13 PM

I vote that the prairie dog continues to hold the title. The essential quick zoom-in is missing, and there's too much silent footage before and after the big moment.

Cute cat, yes. Dramatic Animal Idol, no.

Ok, that lemur is going to give me nightmares. But that music couldn't have been more perfect.

bryn
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:14 PM

The prairie dog holds the drama trophy. He has this look that we often see on characters in soaps just after someone's made an astonishing and unexpected announcement: taaaah tah taaaaaaah! (Puzzled look on everyone's face.)

Blanche
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:40 PM

I agree. The lemur was hilarious, but scary. I was never a fan of the prairie dog one, so I have to say the cat wins. The lemur tops 'em both, though.

fish eye no miko: Hilarious! Are you an anime fan? (Did anyone else get that, or are we the only two on here that watch foreign cartoons?)

muttluver
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:41 PM

Baroo? *cocks head* Did my comment not go through?

Anywho, the lemur scares me, but the music they put to it is hilarious. So is fish eye no miko's momo comment, am I the only other one who gets the joke?

muttluver
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:46 PM

OMG- I love how the kitty is literally watching TV.

Julie
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:48 PM

I just wanted to say, SORRY! I did not mean to double post. I just didn't see my first one. Baka compy...

muttluver
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 06:49 PM

OMG both are so excellent.
i wonder if since the kitteh was sitting so close to the tv, that when he flung his head around(almost ALL the way around like an owl people!)
that his vision got all wanky and so the poking out eyebulbs?
i kinda feel bad for the kitteh, since he looks so totally freaked out! "dont you touch that flippin remote! I'll gouge your eyes out!"

The kitteh music is from the opening of (the movie) "Young Frankenstein"!!!

Personally, I laughed LOUDLY at the kitteh one. She's so totally "Did you see that??!!!"

Gail (the first one)
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 07:13 PM

That lemur makes my eyes water.

M. V.
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 07:42 PM

Lemur's actually a little creepy. The kitteh on the other hand = totally perfect drama on cue! I LOL'ed my butt off.

But poor kitty needs to sit further away from the tv or he's going to need glasses when he grows up.

chanpon
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 07:55 PM

While the cat did little for me, the lemur is a strong contender. Points for doing something different anyway. Nice! :D

Joboo
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:00 PM

OMG, the eyes, they pierced me right through!!!

Theresa
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:06 PM

The kitty looks creepy. That freaked me out a little.

nads
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:08 PM

What planet is that lemur from?!?

Teh kitteh is hilarious, but I do think the video needs a little judicious editing. :)

AuntieMame
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:21 PM

Besides drama, the lemur also shares with the chipmunk the trait of not being the animal it is supposed to be.
That is def' not a lemur. It could be a tarsier.

Selphie le Boffin
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:27 PM

Really, it's the lack of zoom in video #1 that makes it inferior. They're both great, though.

Liz
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:48 PM

Gin and tonic went through my nose I laughed so hard! Yah!!!!

sally-rah
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:49 PM

There is actually a shorter version that cuts right to the chase up on Youtube, making it a lot funnier (that face is priceless!) This version is too long!

Rukia
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 08:49 PM

Editing helps prairie dog. But tarsier - yikes! Definitely looks like an alien, and completely unnerving. I think it sucked my soul out with its eyes!

Actually, _Avatar_ is American.
But, yes, I'm an anime fan, as well. ^_^

OMG!! awesome!! and, uh, happy Caturday ya'll .. makes it even Better!

Ron
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 10:27 PM

Dramatic Prairie Dog totally kicks that cat's butt all over the place.
Maybe with better editing and different dramatic type music it would be better though. But definitely can not pull of the original da dan daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Geez, does EVERYONE in Japan have a Scottish Fold???

Alice
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 11:36 PM

Good lord, that cat looks worried. Maybe the owner is a furry...

The lemur vid Other Mike linked made me snicker, too. It reminds me of those old MTV ads with the dude sitting in his easy chair, wind whipping his scarf back and all that. That little lemur's head is about to pop, man. XD

Redbone
 |  Aug 03, 2008 at 11:40 PM

AHHH!
I found the .gif of this just the other day and thought it was funny. Then I listen to this video and it creeps me out! AHH!! Not before bedtime!

Sarah
 |  Aug 04, 2008 at 01:19 AM

Wahahahah! ROFL! *falls off chair laughing*

Barbarella
 |  Aug 04, 2008 at 01:28 AM

As :AuntieMame: said, a better edit, music and placement of music and we have a winner.
I don't accept that the Japanese, have handed me their bottom. After all the cats Scottish Fold and I am half Scots.

Hon Glad
 |  Aug 04, 2008 at 02:21 AM

Sorry, I meant, that I have to hand my bottom to the Japanese, or do I, I have always found many of your colloquialisms, confusing.
