Milshouse is not the only one...

[–]jasontimmur 5 points6 points ago

I was a smart kid. Throw the frisbee up at 45 degree angle into the wind, it comes back to you.

[–]unfortunatejordan 24 points25 points ago

Or this.

Milhouse really gets it rough.

[–]kacperp 7 points8 points ago

Hey. i don't need help to play with my balls either. I should put it on youtube. maybe i'll get some views.

[–]Casban 2 points3 points ago

But why does he wait for the ball to be pulled back before running. Isn't the aiming enough of a cue?

Is this why my dog doesn't run till I throw the ball...?

[–]aptmnt_ 20 points21 points ago

You see one instance where the machine rises, but sensing no ball, settles back down. The pull back sound is a more reliable and immediate cue.

[–]gabbarS 88 points89 points ago

please potato me

[–]smififty 42 points43 points ago

You do not want to be potatoed. Trust me, last time I got potatoed, I woke up on a barbeque covered in tinfoil. It was terrifying.

[–]Captain_Generous 94 points95 points ago

Last time I got potatoed, I ended up in someones anus ಠ_ಠ

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

Hey brother, I was in there myself for a bit. You were the one he switched me out for? Thank you.

[–]KevyB 13 points14 points ago

Brotato?

[–]unloud 7 points8 points ago

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to be potatoed, but take it from this spud-connoisseur, I've spent my entire adult life digging roots, and a plan like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only get potatoed once, you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

What you really want to do is be potatoed completely, all the major body parts (chest, back, abdomen, legs, shoulders, arms, and genitalia) at the same time, over the course of a session. And don't forget your tuber work!

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with being potatoed, sweat, tears, shame, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find a good trainer like I_POTATO_PEOPLE, with qualified spuds that will potato you right (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for potato nirvana. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not having the best potatoes when you walk up to I_POTATO_PEOPLE. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and do it! :-)

I like the excited paws as he waits for the last few bounces.

[–]lavii 23 points24 points ago

HAHA I GET IT! IT'S A JOKE BECAUSE HE'S A DOG AND DOG HAVE PAWS!

[–]Captain_Generous 5 points6 points ago

Thanks for explaining that one for me.

I went back, ya'know, to take a look at the picture. I'm thinking "His paws look pretty normal, what paws"

[–]Kela3000 9 points10 points ago

Catching a ball, Laika paws.

[–]theyawner 18 points19 points ago

[–]curomo 7 points8 points ago

If that dog's name isn't Sir Issac Puppyton, I will consider it to be a great injustice.

I like those words, self reliant. Yeah, that's what I am. Not forever alone, no way. ;_;

[–]uranus86 3 points4 points ago

I wish i had a pet that could entertain itself, instead i got this dumbass dog who can't even feed himself unless i push his face into the bowl.

[–]likli 221 points222 points ago

My cat used to do this with marbles. On hardwood stairs. In the middle of the night. For 19 years.

If I tried removing all marbles, she'd yowl all night. Damnit.

[–]yourgodisfake 95 points96 points ago

You could've put some carpet strips on the stairs.

[–]BobTehCat 54 points55 points ago

Using the cats skin.

[–]The_Curious_cat 2 points3 points ago

Not cool fellow feline... Not cool...

[–]EzyExplain 4 points5 points ago

My cat goes nuts with my plastic shaving brush, dunking it in water and drinking from it. Had to find a hundred different places to hide it. I gave her an old one, now at night she grabs it with both paws and throws it in the air which makes a huge noise while falling down.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You should have bought her one of these.

I don't see anything sad about this video. Like yeah, he's definitely playing fetch with himself but he's still having a blast!

[–]Captainplanet54[!] 10 points11 points ago

This dog is awesome I can't get my asshole dog to chase a tennis ball.

[–]Stavrosian 2 points3 points ago

You keep throwing something away for no reason and demanding he go and get it, and he's the asshole?

[–]lecleanredditor 7 points8 points ago

Awww he's really smart! I'll play with you doggy!

[–]pretentiousilliterat 5 points6 points ago

On a similar level of forever alone, remember wall ball?

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 102 points103 points ago

Once in a while, /r/funny just makes me more sad than happy. This is one of those days.

Saw that movie in the theaters. When that scene played everyone in the theater started turning their heads and looking at each other... just a bunch of strangers giving each other a WTF face as if to say "did that kid really say what I think he said?"

Don't worry, i'll play catch with you all day little dog 8'D

[–]mmosavi 2 points3 points ago

My dog will play catch with herself like this...with her food. She'll put it in her mouth, throw it, and then run after it to eat it.

[–]suicidemachine 2 points3 points ago

It looks like he almost gave up at the ending

Very few things can reduce a 21 year old male to squealing in a high pitched voice. This is one of them.

I hate r/aww. I hate cats, I hate the Internet's fascination with little furry creatures. But this? This made me almost cry.

[–]highlandprincess 2 points3 points ago

Simply the sadest thing I've seen in a while.

[–]smififty 6 points7 points ago

It's not sad, the dog is having fun. It's like when you were a kid playing with a slinky. You launched that shit down the stairs for hours until you get bored and get it in a huge knot.
