This is funnier for those of us who understand BangedEarthaKitt's name is a reference to something relevant.

You sound like Liam Neeson from the Taken.

[–]GOATSQUIRTS 10 points11 points ago

it's just "Taken" man.

[–]H3000 7 points8 points ago

from the Taken movie.

[–]doylezdead 9 points10 points ago

What movie was taken?

[–]randumnumber 1 point2 points ago

I have a particular set of skills, skills I have acquired during my part time job at block buster in 2007, a set of skills which no one else in the world will posses from now on. You took a movie, and if you tell me which one was taken now that will be the end of it, I wont come after you. If you don't tell me then I will look it up on netflix and I will find it and you WILL PAY for your DVD RENTAL!

are you sure it's not from the movie Taken?

Haha I came here to say the same thing... I mustve watched this gif repeat 30 times, each time cracking up at poor puppy #3

[–]Kellianne 0 points1 point ago

Take a look at the last one--far right. I call him Mr. Lazy Butt as he never gets completely up.

[–]gb003k 10 points11 points ago

I like the one on the far right who's just like: fuck this shit, I'm going to lift my head up but stay right here. That one's a keeper, he won't make you get up to take him out at like 6:30 in the morning.

[–]heartdeco 2 points3 points ago

I love chill animals, so I too immediately gravitated toward puppy #6 who never actually moves.

[–]gb003k 1 point2 points ago

I had a very cute smooth fox terrier who when I was unemployed would easily sleep in with me as long as I wanted, sometimes even till ten

It kind reminds me of bobsledding, how they all have to get into a set position

[–]pufferton -1 points0 points ago

It wouldn't be fair to other sporting events (say the duck luge or the turtle triple jump). It would be a winner by a landslide every time. I think it should be elevated into the Classical Art realm. Along with _________ (commence Reddit one-liner train)

[–]ScoffingBear 6 points7 points ago

Why can't I ever load the reverse gifs???

[–]psyne 2 points3 points ago

The site is kinda slow, usually for me it loads frame-by-frame at first then runs through normal speed the second time. If they're not loading at all, maybe your browser is timing out? Try opening it on another browser.

[–]Dr_fish 0 points1 point ago

Do you mean just in RES? Because that never works with that site for me either.

[–]Zhang5 0 points1 point ago

I think it's because the way the URL is set, RES sees it ends in .gif so it tries to load it as a .gif, however it's a full web page so it can't load it. Just click on the link instead and it should work fine.

This is terrible, but they look like they have all been put under anesthesia or have been gassed.

Someone MUST have opened some food, its the best way to get my corgi moving from a dead sleep.

[–]bheklilr 5 points6 points ago

As a corgi owner, I can verify this statement.

[–]kevsta322 24 points25 points ago

As a corgi, I can verify this statement

[–]BurrDurrMurrDurr 1 point2 points ago

As a (insert any dog breed ever...) owner, I can verify this statement.

[–]bheklilr 10 points11 points ago

I have owned several dog breeds in my life, and the only one I've seen ever get as excited by food as a corgi was our golden retriever, and that was only with bananas. She could be on the other side of the house, but as soon as you start peeling a banana, she'd come running.

She was also the only dog I've known to FUCKING LOVE BANANAS. They were her favorite treat.

[–]JimTressel 1 point2 points ago

My Jack Russell Terrier has an obsession with food. It's quite sad really. Our family made the mistake of introducing him to good food early in his life rather than keeping him strictly with dog food. Once, he jumped onto our dinner table while we were gone, and there were bites in our chicken breasts.

We used to feed him apples as that was his favorite snack, but as he is now older (16 years), we can no longer feed him apples because he had a high triglyceride count due to the amount of glucose that gets stored as fat as a result. We now give him cucumber bits, I'm not sure if this is a sound, dietetic approach to his voracious appetite.

Regardless, he eats random things in our backyard like the nuts from trees that fall on our backyard in large numbers. According to our good Hawaiian gardener, they "taste good, ya."

TL;DR My dog is a nut connoisseur.

My corgi goes CRAZY for bananas, you have to share them with him or he gets really upset!

Your username makes it extremely hard to take your comment seriously.

[–]faeriechyld 0 points1 point ago

We told our vet that our corgi loved bananas and she agreed with us that it was a healthier snack than most dog treats. She never mentioned anything about potassium (which it likely is) or magnesium being bad for him.

[–]bheklilr -1 points0 points ago

We never gave her too much, and she had a stomach of steel. She hardly ever got sick, but she'd eat everything. The only health problems she had were occasional seizures and hip dysplasia, both of which are common in goldens.

I hadn't actually heard that they were bad for dogs, but I don't always believe those anyway. Last easter our corgi somehow managed to get a chocolate rabbit when we weren't home, ate half of it, and didn't have any signs of being sick.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]bheklilr 0 points1 point ago

My memory is a bit fuzzy on exactly how much. I would guess it was the equivalent of at least half of a normal sized chocolate bar. He seemed to have gotten disinterested in it, luckily.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]bheklilr 0 points1 point ago

I'm not saying that I'm basing what I think solely on my feelings, just that my personal experience has shown me that just because the internet says it will make my dog sick doesn't mean it will happen.

[–]Kellianne 0 points1 point ago

I called the emergency vet once scared to death because my dog ate a king size musketeer. When she told me one ounce of choc. per pound of body weight I felt a little silly freaking over my 80 lb dog getting my candy bar.

[–]VestrumTobias -2 points-1 points ago

There seem to be a bazzillion of these "uh oh, that's bad for your dog" items that soooo many people never know about and never have problems with, I wonder how universal any of them are (well the chocolate thing has a very specific root cause).
It may also be breed specific, since i'd imagine kidney function (and the ability to remove things like potassium from the blood) would vary breed to breed.

[–]psyne 0 points1 point ago

I don't even have a dog, but watching that gif the dogs might as well have had thought bubbles over their heads going, "FOOD? FOOD? FOOD?"

I haven't seen this before. It would have been cute enough with all the puppies sleeping in a row. I wonder what got that middle dog's attention.
