Kittens, it is your civic duty to find that clip you mention and post the link to it here. posted by Kraftmatic Adjustable Cheese at 7:04 PM on June 20, 2007

Youtube has it as well.

I think he's taken acting lessons from William Shatner. That's choreographed very similarly to the bit where the evil Kirk appears on the transporter pad in The Enemy Within (see YouTube synopsis, 40 seconds in). posted by raygirvan at 7:16 PM on June 20, 2007 [3 favorites]
Hmmm .... maybe it's not a chipmunk ...

CAN SOMEONE ADD FLASHING LIGHTNING EFFECTS PLZ? posted by sourwookie at 7:51 PM on June 20, 2007
The chipmunk turns about a second or two too early. It is very disappointing. The drama of the scene would have reached a near boiling point before the turn if the chipmunk could have just held off a bit longer. I am not sure if I should be blaming the writer, director, or chipmunk here, but my gut goes with the director. posted by flarbuse at 7:54 PM on June 20, 2007 [21 favorites]

This was, in fact, the best 5 second video on the internet. I'll be damned! posted by jonson at 9:16 PM on June 20, 2007
It got stuck loading the first second, and I saw what it was, and thought, "This is stupid."
... and yet, by the time all five seconds had played, I was laughing. posted by Zephyrial at 9:17 PM on June 20, 2007
I wish I had this clip handy on some sort of easy buttonesque type interface to use in a variety of social situations wherever I roam. posted by maxpower at 9:43 PM on June 20, 2007
soft grass always gave me red itchy bumps which my mom called chigger bites...but I had my doubts. posted by taosbat at 10:35 PM on June 20, 2007

It's a prairie dog, but it's the domesticated kind, which all have weight problems. That's why it doesn't lok like the ones on Discovery Channel. posted by unrepentanthippie at 5:09 AM on June 21, 2007

Original (original?) video the Cuteoverload animated GIF came from? From a Japanese TV show.
Do all Japanese schoolgirls know how to make that horrifying sound from the end of that clip? I think I've just met my new nightmare. posted by kittyprecious at 6:47 AM on June 21, 2007 [2 favorites]
I was waiting for the chipmonk to blow up posted by shockingbluamp at 6:49 AM on June 21, 2007
That is really old. By old, I mean old in internet time. Days, maybe weeks. I've been seeing the animated gif of evil little bastard so often in the past few weeks that it's starting to grate on me already. But then I pull the stick out of my ass and go wooyeah!
Because I'm so goddamn au cou-fucking-rant.
Here's the gif, in case you want to tile it on yer desktop or something.
I've been seeing it for weeks too, that was my first "whaa?" thought when I saw the post. But now after reading the thread I figure that since I guess not everyone has seen it, it's a good thing that someone brought attention to it. Because that prairie dog can turn around and stare at me a thousand times & I'll never cease to laugh. The prairie dog joy needed to be passed on. Missing out on it would be criminal, I say. posted by miss lynnster at 7:51 AM on June 21, 2007
That hilarious rodent is a squirrel. Bite it, chipmunks! posted by squirrel at 7:51 AM on June 21, 2007
I'm betting that "The killer is someone... in this very room!" version can be found somewhere on the SA forums.
But yeah, someone needs to make a YTMND page out of that woman making that horrible shrieking noise at the end of the original clip. posted by shmegegge at 8:38 AM on June 21, 2007

The Card Cheat, I am almost certain that video takes place at the shittiest event in the Central Virginia area, Foxfield Races. Apparently it's an event for getting dangerously drunk that masquerades as a horse race.

I clicked the link with dread, feeling compelled but just knowing it couldn't possibly live up to its billing. I was wrong. posted by pmurray63 at 2:59 PM on June 21, 2007
I cannot hear that girl make that noise EVER again. That sound makes my ears bleed. posted by miss lynnster at 10:01 AM on June 22, 2007
She probably did make the prairie dog's ears bleed. 'That noise' may be my favorite part of this whole tale...but, she sure doesn't sound like a prairie dog. posted by taosbat at 10:19 AM on June 22, 2007
The dramatic prairie dog makes it to Carson Daly (as does the Rickroll, coincidentally, and unfortunately).
