Goddamnit I hate this so much. Especially the ones you know have crushes on you. Why the hell can this not happen with girls in my age bracket?

[–]bubcat 11 points12 points ago

Youre complaining because women who have a crush on you are now legal? Hmmm.

[–]thatguyoverthere202 15 points16 points ago

No, I'm complaining that girls who have a crush on me are not legal. I'm barely legal and they are 14.

God, porn has ruined me. Barely legal sounds like an awful term.

[–]Wingboner 62 points63 points ago

I saw this on America's Funniest Home Videos in like 1994. I think I may be old.

[–]Grays42 30 points31 points ago

AFV was the closest thing we had to reddit in the 90s.

Send your VHS tapes in, America! We'd love to see YOUR videos and have the host do really dumb voice-overs for them, just to make sure the really funny video comes in second place and the video of the cute kid wins every goddamn time despite being incredibly boring!

[–]aryary 9 points10 points ago

I.. I have to admit this: I actually liked the voice overs.

[–]yorick_rolled 4 points5 points ago

You monster!

[–]Prinnydood333 0 points1 point ago

GAH I was going to post this. I'd guess that's a fairly accurate time-stamp. Mid-90s, back when Bob Saget hosted and it was actually funny. Ish.

[–]Neohexane 0 points1 point ago

As soon as I saw the gif, I heard Bob Saget doing the voice of the racoon.

[–]fisticuffs32 82 points83 points ago

Let me play you the song of my people.

[–]dastweinerhund 12 points13 points ago

It's a raccoon washing his hands on an over the ground lawn sprinkler connected to a hose.

[–]AllergicRacoon 2 points3 points ago

I can verify that this is indeed a racoon.

[–]Zurkell 13 points14 points ago

Used to do that all the time. This raccoon, he's okay.

[–]dr_rainbow 4 points5 points ago

This clip is from the 90s, the raccoon is dead.

[–]Zurkell 9 points10 points ago

HEY HE MIGHT BE ALIVE MAN...

[–]Zai_shanghai 6 points7 points ago

Someone please set this to music.

[–]bopoqod 36 points37 points ago

[–]alcogeoholic 7 points8 points ago

I don't know if I'm satisfied...I want someone with a real harp to write original music that fits the gif

[–]thatguyoverthere202 13 points14 points ago

Scumbag redditor Isn't satisfied with a FUCKING WILD RACCOON PLAYING A FUCKING SPRINKLER LIKE A FUCKING HARP.

[–]CoreyWillis 1 point2 points ago

So perfect. This is what I came here for. I laughed way too much at this.

[–]TreesPumpkiny 2 points3 points ago

that was super relaxing... I like it when performers are that into it..

[–]endless_sleep 1 point2 points ago

Oh, shit. I was laughing so hard I had tears. My housemates all had to come into the room to find out what the fuck was going on. This is great.

[–]Richard1120 6 points7 points ago

Set to harp music or a guitar riff for a good time

[–]justcallmezach 4 points5 points ago

It appears to be a raccoon playing with a lawn sprinkler.

[–]chris4287 6 points7 points ago

[–]flailingcuttlefish 3 points4 points ago

This gif makes me feel like the oldest person on the internet. I saw the original on AFHV during the TGIF line-up.

MAKE IT STOOOOOPPP!!

[–]degret 2 points3 points ago

[–]bricks87 2 points3 points ago

This is a very old GIF.

[–]Yulex2 2 points3 points ago

It was on AFV before it was a GIF, and probably even before it was on the internet at all.

[–]birthday-pie 0 points1 point ago

This raccoon was a harpist in it's past life, you can almost see it's heart break as it finally realizes it isn't the famililiar instrument who's strings it once caressed.
