Wow, I can't even remember the last time a gif made me laugh like this.

[–]sir_perderder 52 points53 points ago

Maybe the last time this was posted?

[–]Mazgelis626[S] 80 points81 points ago

zake001's comment proves why this is okay. When was the last time this was posted anyway? I found it on /b/

Is this like the Olympics? Should we cheer because OP broke the karma record?

I think we have to give him comment karma now.

[–]Fantasticriss 4 points5 points ago

i think 3 months is acceptable lag time for a repost.

[–]stalka 1 point2 points ago

But is 16 days?

[–]Fantasticriss 4 points5 points ago

wow my eyes went right over that one. Meh, that one didn't have much success. Judges? "I'll allow it"

[–]Way_too_poor 18 points19 points ago

I'm with ya, Maz. I've been scouring the depths of reddit in search of lolz for months now and I've never seen it. Keep on keepin' on.

[–]sir_perderder 0 points1 point ago

I really don't give a shit that you re-posted. I was just replying to a rhetorical question with a smart ass response. Loved the gif btw. Upvote!

[–]Mazgelis626[S] 4 points5 points ago

My apologies, considering Reddit's shark like repost detector, you can understand.

[–]sir_perderder 2 points3 points ago

No problem. I can see how my comment could be taken that way.

[–]DogByte64 0 points1 point ago

...shark like...

I see what you did there.

[–]mrmateo 20 points21 points ago

cats are a gray area

[–]dionysus6794 1 point2 points ago

You eat cats?

[–]mrmateo 6 points7 points ago

i said they are a gray area. if one looks gross and fat then i would never eat it. but if a cat rolled around in that seasoning from bojangles then yes. i would eat anything covered in bojangles seasoning. anything

[–]dionysus6794 1 point2 points ago

I thought you meant you were going to prepare it in a stainless steel oven Glad that was cleared up

[–]DragonRaptor 1 point2 points ago

Microwave, while it's still alive, it's the best way to cook them.

[–]mrmateo 0 points1 point ago

no, no, no. boiling has shown to be the most effective way. it preserves the flavor better than a microwave and doesn't make it all dry.

[–]dionysus6794 1 point2 points ago

Actually moisture is kept but flavour is lost.

[–]Yellowlego 1 point2 points ago

Steaming then?

[–]mrmateo 0 points1 point ago

not with cats. whole new playing field with cats

[–]Youtube910 1 point2 points ago

You don't?

[–]dionysus6794 0 points1 point ago

Squirrels are way more tender And catching them is half the fun

[–]mrmateo 0 points1 point ago

i use cats to catch the squirrels and then kill both and reap the rewards

Ah, too predictable! Have some creativity!!

[–]mrmateo 0 points1 point ago

i thought about clarifying that i live in NC to prevent that assumption, but for some reason i didn't

[–]Yellowlego 0 points1 point ago

Is that because they're both white and dark meat?

[–]CaptainSombrero 1 point2 points ago

What about Catfish?

[–]Yellowlego 1 point2 points ago

Welll... ummm...

My guess is, not food. More fish than cat. Now if you were to genetically combine the two via the scifioriginalmovie sequence... I'm not sure.

[–]i_love_canned_eels 22 points23 points ago

[–]Drawtaru 2 points3 points ago

That was 10x more hilarious than the gif. The sounds that cat's nails made as it tried to leap off the table for dear life... oh man!

[–]lnenad 8 points9 points ago

Is this a scene from Paws 2: The awakening ?

I hate seeing bettas in bowls :(

[–]Led-Zeppelin 1 point2 points ago

Repost, but still hilarious.

[–]DevilDucky95 2 points3 points ago

That's funny and all but my question is, where do I get a remote control flying shark!?

[–]Chairboy 1 point2 points ago

Amazon has 'em. I just bought the Clown Fish version for like $14, shark is probably the same.

[–]Bipolarruledout 1 point2 points ago

Does it come with helium?

[–]Chairboy 0 points1 point ago

Nope, you can get that locally or have it filled at a party store pretty cheap. For now, at least. Helium is almost out.

[–]BitLooter 1 point2 points ago

Fill it with hydrogen. The only thing better than flying sharks is flying exploding sharks.

[–]jd2220 7 points8 points ago

Does anyone know what kind of cat this is?

[–]Jasonivus 13 points14 points ago

Maine Coon Silver Tabby would be my best guess.

[–]jd2220 1 point2 points ago

Thanks

[–]OnlyAMuffin 7 points8 points ago

Wait.. They're are different types of cats? I call all cats "cat."

[–]jd2220 3 points4 points ago

My cat that just died looks just like this... its almost as if I'm looking at him same color and fur. If anyone knows the type of cat this is please let me know.

[–]Angercrank 19 points20 points ago

grey cat

[–]OnlyAMuffin 1 point2 points ago

slow clap.

[–]JrMaynard 2 points3 points ago

It could be a Maine Coon crossed with something else. You may have better luck with (r/cats)[www.reddit.com/r/cats]

Edit: Link didn't do it properly, stupid iPad.

[–]Anal_Death_Choke 1 point2 points ago

A fucking terrified one.

[–]DavidJeffers 0 points1 point ago

What I wanna know is what the hell is that creature in the bowl? Doesn't look like your average fish...

[–]kiwimaddog2020 3 points4 points ago

Was anyone else very scared that the cat was going to knock over the fishbowl as it scampered away?

[–]anthereddit 2 points3 points ago

Yes, I actually came here looking for this comment.

[–]finjetsu 1 point2 points ago

Woah, that was awesome

[–]moogmania 0 points1 point ago

I remember trying to buy one of those shark blimps last time I saw this but they were sold out completely. I could only imagine that they were all bought by redditors and that soon there would be thousands of terrified house cats all around the world.

[–]da_k-word 1 point2 points ago

I purchased a couple of these almost a year ago. I always see them in stock on the Toys-r-Us site: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11562289

[–]armauld 1 point2 points ago

Beautiful cat.

[–]seonwoong 0 points1 point ago

I didn't expect the shark, haha. Every time I see one of these sharks, it makes me want one even more. I may have to just buy one off vat19.

[–]thexica124 0 points1 point ago

OH my gosh, I am crying I am laughing so hard.

[–]Tazmily228 0 points1 point ago

I think the sheer absurdity of the flying shark and lack of time to really let it register before the gig repeats is what makes this hilarious.

[–]chingyduster 0 points1 point ago

Aww I used to have a cat like that.

[–]Jazmin97 0 points1 point ago

Well that escalated quickly.

[–]guenchy 1 point2 points ago

Well besides all of the bitching about reposts.. This is the first time I saw it.

So reposts can be good.

[–]Vaywen 1 point2 points ago

Same. I guess not everyone spends all day on Reddit!

[–]nightrhyme 0 points1 point ago

And link to original video ? Gifs doesn't compute for me. Or I lost my magnifier ôƒô

[–]cautioncarnival 0 points1 point ago

They were selling these at my local fair last month and playing this video on repeat.... this was the best part.

Luckily I talked my friend out of getting one.

[–]silenti 0 points1 point ago

So, at work a few of the ceiling tiles are missing in various rooms on my floor. I have been known to fly my shark into random offices and give people heart attacks.

Christ man, at least title the bastard "Fish Are Friends, Not Food"

The fact nobody has really upsets me.

Shh...if Dane Cook gets no new fans he might go away.

[–]jumpinjahosafa 1 point2 points ago

You don't find anything absurd in the situation at all?

[–]Wild_Bulbasaur 4 points5 points ago

It's funny because of the title "it didn't stand a chance", you expected the cat to eat the fish with ease, but at the climax of the .gif, a flying inflatable shark attacks the cat, which is both ridiculous and unexpected.

[–]Chairboy 1 point2 points ago

This is a well crafted explanation. It's often difficult to explain WHY something is funny, but I believe you did quite well. I'm not sure why at least 3 people downvoted your post, it seems quite good.

[–]Wild_Bulbasaur 1 point2 points ago

Thank you! I feel that I could have structured it better, but I tried.

[–]Sing_Me_To_Sleep 0 points1 point ago

Cat is planning on attacking the fish. Giant fish attacks the cat instead, scaring it off. Also, giant flying shark.

[–]Whos_that_guy 0 points1 point ago

I see no giant shark, maybe my internets is brokend

[–]Chairboy 0 points1 point ago

Please describe the video you DID see?

[–]Whos_that_guy 0 points1 point ago

Cat looks at fishbowl, cat takes 1 step to fishbowl, repeat..

[–]Chairboy 0 points1 point ago

Reload, dude. You're getting only a small fragment of the GIF.

[–]Sing_Me_To_Sleep 0 points1 point ago

Okay, it's not giant, but it's a blow up shark.
