Thanks to billysumday for bringing this to my attention. Atheism. Collegiate Challenge. Flaming liquor. Soccer ball.

I've always had a soft spot for the idiotic. I like the TV studio one where the guy says 'I'm passing out" then does, then the cat plays. So many to choose from though...

Keyboard cat has been saved!! My favorite one is the atheist confrontation, because it's the perfect marriage of anger, awkwardness, and nonsense.

I do not understand this meme. Even a little bit. All the world's a stage. We're all players. Sometimes, when we eff up, royally, on stage, that is, in the world, real life, we need a little help getting off stage. So keyboard cat plays his ditty, and away we go.

basically waht happens is the cat plays the keybaord The cat plays the keyboard to provide a transition between a traumatic event and the re-emergence of stability. He is a crucial interstitial operative, much like Maxwell's Sorting Demon.

Keyboard cat is the sort of watered-down mom humor that occurs when non-/b/tards try to make memes. Wait a minute. Don't bring anyone's mother into this. She ain't here. And if it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't be here. So remember, when you put down one mother, you put down mothers all over the world.

Whatever else you have to say about keyboard cat, he is indirectly responsible, via Mr. East Manitoba yadda yadda, for my first successful non-inverted viewing of a Magic Eye picture. I can't tell you how many hours as a young man were spent in vain. Also, it is fitting that the first correct Magic Eye image I saw was that.

(I'm pretty sure what you see when you die is the video for "Dream Weaver." [This may not have been the official video. I just remember an eerily fake starry sky and some guy playing the guitar.] A Cleveland local TV station played it at midnight or one AM or something every night the summer I was about eight and staying at my grandma's house, where I had a TV in the bedroom. It totally freaked me out and made me sad. I watched it every night. I would dread it, then watch it, then watch it the following night all over again. It was like the video in The Ring, for real.)

Darth Fedor, it may interest you to know that some of those images require crossed eyes, as if looking at a near object, whereas most (like this one) require parallel eyes, as if you are looking in the distance. If you use the wrong technique the image is inverted.

Funny, when I told my mom I didn't believe in God, she was cool with it, feeling that she'd done her part to expose me to it but that it was ultimately up to me to decide my own faith (or lack of it.) Keyboard cat would have felt useless that day, let me tell you.

The atheism link was my first exposure to keyboard cat, presented to me without context or any foreshadowing. When the mother screams at her son and I'm nodding in sympathy, the camera is hastily taken away by the erstwhile cameraman fading to keyboard cat and his magical ditty, transforming the video into a transcendental experience of absurd hilarity. Truly, dada lives and its name is internet.

grobstein: "The cat moves like a puppet. Is this disturbing?" The cat does not play the keyboard. The cat is a puppet, some jerkoff dressed it up and stuck his hand in the clothes. The beatific look the cat has at the end is it fantasizing about creeping into the bedroom when his owner is asleep and ripping his eyes out.

I want to take the Keyboard Cat, and the Dramatic Chipmunk (Prairie Dog) and a couple of other moment enhancing videos and have them stored on my phone. That way, whenever the need for it arises, I can whip it out and without a spoken word clarify the moment for everyone around me. Guy in meeting: "So anyway, in an effort to manage on our company's diversity goals, this week I was working with the Mexic.. uh Spani.. er Hispanic... yeah Hispanic elements of the workforce..." and quietly in the back you will hear a tiny keyboard playing as I hold my phone up at the person letting him know to just walk away. Then when he gets mad, and storms off I can switch over to the Dun Dun Dun... Chipmunk (Prairie Dog).

ooga_booga — Wed, 06 May 2009 12:34:19 -0800

Navelgazer, I don't know - my theory, from watching the slow-mo replay, was that there are some shenanigans going on and some of the grapes move just as he reaches for them. This startles him and he hits himself in the nose with his mike but it doesn't quite work. Now the idea that he's getting electrocuted kind of dampens the comedic effect for me, alas.

Yeah, I've already thought "Keyboard Cat, play me off," a few times today. It made me smile and forget the initial "d'oh!"

if you can resist clicking on these, good for you. you're very grown up. From the link:

grandma coming up the stairs on her automatic chair. Reminded me of the music with the cliff hanger from the price is right Category: People & Blogs

I think maybe "Blogs" was not the right word. Maybe something with an 'n'.

You would almost say it was made to purpose, Widepath. Extremely good; the cut back and forth make it interlaced lines. Good tune, as well.

OK, I understand that Moe is Yahweh; angry god and all. But which one's Jesus and which one's the Holy Spirit?

I'm not sure about the specifics Flunkie, but if the fake rapture doesn't start out with Moe sending Fake Shemp out to the car to get his bow and crown, I'm not buying it.

Shame the kitty died. He seemed really good-natured to put up with that. I guess it's cool that CNN is covering memes, but I kind of wish they'd do a better job of covering politics and important culture, so I'm ambivalent about it.

My partner and I have spent at least an hour, the last couple of nights, watching Keyboard Cat videos via Tivo/Youtube. It's remarkably funny on a big screen TV, although the glass of wine may be helping.

Oh, also, this Keyboard cat is the sort of watered-down mom humor that occurs when non-/b/tards try to make memes. makes absolutely no sense to me. Keyboard Cat, love it or hate it, is solidly in the same league as shoop da whoop, Girugamesh, Millhouse is not a meme, and so on. I didn't think /b/tards had illusions that their humor was somehow sophisticated or cutting edge, which was kind of refreshing in its honesty and unpretentiousness, to be honest. Get a couple spots on Fox News and they get all snooty on you.

I dunno Tesla Devil, watching an angry cat be pushed around while trying to bite the hands holding him is kinda depressing. OTOH, Keyboard Green Day is all kinds of funny.
