Sleepy Puppy 12 is not interested in your prostitution scancal exposes, thank you very much. posted by brandman at 12:04 PM on December 16, 2008 [2 favorites has favorites]
I sense a great disturbance in the Internet, as if millions of users cried out "Awwwwwwwww!" and were suddenly smiling. posted by The Card Cheat at 12:07 PM on December 16, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
I would prefer an explanation of their cuteness and sleepiness parameters, as I am displeased with some of the scores. Sleepy Puppy 10, for example, clearly deserves a higher cute score than 2, and depending on the rating scale, I would also argue that he is far more sleepy than the assigned '4'.
Overall I feel this is sloppily executed and am dissatisfied with their apparently nonexistent explanation of methodology.
Oh sure, they're cute, but that's why you can't trust them! Just when they lull you into a comforted state by how sweet they are, you start to doze off yourself, and BAM! the next thing you know you are covered in the little bastards.
Kittens nestled in your arms, puppies in your laps, maybe a seal cozied up by your feet.
I wish there were a category specifically for things falling down while falling asleep. I'm a sucker for that classic bumping-nose-on-floor-and-waking-up-suddenly-looking-surprised sequence. posted by six-or-six-thirty at 12:22 PM on December 16, 2008 [3 favorites has favorites]
I love you, Internet. Yes, I do! Yes, I do! Oooh, wubba wubba wubba..... posted by tristeza at 12:26 PM on December 16, 2008
Is there such a thing as too much cuteness? This might be it.
If you're finding it too cloyingly saccharine, simply imagine that, instead watching cutsie-wootsie animals fall asleep, you're watching the test footage from a lab that's developed a lethal new nerve agent. posted by RokkitNite at 12:29 PM on December 16, 2008 [10 favorites has favorites]

I was into Sleepy Puppy back when Sleepy Puppy wasn't cute. Now all these poseur kids are into Sleepy Puppy. It sticks in my craw I tells ya! *pets sleepy puppy* posted by Blazecock Pileon at 12:44 PM on December 16, 2008
You keep petting sleepy puppy like that and you're going to wind up with perky puppy. posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson at 12:47 PM on December 16, 2008
Fuck you, cute things falling asleep. Guess what? Anyone can fall asleep, it's not some goddamn special talent. And it's not that fucking hard to look cute doing it. Is everyone still going to say "Awwww" if instead of falling asleep you're peeing on their rug or tearing their favorite shoes to shreds? I don't think so. And guess what else? There's already a gazillion websites out there with pictures or videos of cutesy-wootsy widdle animals. You are not groundbreaking. You are not a unique fucking snowflake. This whole thing is getting real old, and in a couple of years the "cuteness" fad will be over and you'll be just another washed-up former child star battling the catnip addiction they can no longer afford. So just grow up and fucking get over yourself already, cute things falling asleep. Stop being so damn cute and do something productive for a change, something that'll give you a shot at a real future, you know? posted by wretched_rhapsody at 1:15 PM on December 16, 2008 [5 favorites has favorites]

When our 90 pound boxer falls asleep, too often he is in bed with us. He farts, and then does the Spasmodic Jutting of Limbs in Arbitrary Directions. Woe to you who are in the path of a jutting limb, or the invisible but debilitating flatulence.
When animals dream, they become people. That's why squirrels love nuts and dogs sniff

Huh, I thought this was just a Australian cattle dog thing. I figured there was some part of their dingo hind-brain that was fighting off killer koalas or something. posted by quin at 1:39 PM on December 16, 2008
What the frakkin' frak??! I call shenanigans due to lack of red panda. You can't call yourself a connoisseur of cute, awake or falling asleep, without including those concentrated fuzzballs of will melting cuteness! posted by kkokkodalk at 1:58 PM on December 16, 2008

At first glance, I read that as "cute things falling apart", and had a sudden vision of a giant sphinx, body of a lion and head of Hello Kitty, slouching towards Bethlehem. posted by Flunkie at 4:16 PM on December 16, 2008

I like how seals are classified as "dogs"
They're waterdogs! Dogs gone, long ago, too far out to sea, chasing after a cursed nerf ball. It's in the Greek. posted by Ambrosia Voyeur at 11:05 PM on December 16, 2008 [3 favorites has favorites]
My mother's 12 week old king charles puppy was sitting in front of an open fire for the first time last week. He closed his eyes and fell over. Puppies are the best. posted by minifigs at 4:37 AM on December 17, 2008
