One of the dumb animals turns out to be pretty smart. Happy ending

[–]spthirtythree 42 points43 points ago

and, to be fair, 5 of the others just slightly overestimated their coefficient of friction.

[–]jimmy_the_exploder 22 points23 points ago

And one is just a genetic disease(fainting goat: probably a survival mechanism that went wrong). Pretty sure that one horse purposefully fell on its back to get rid of the rider. Some were automatic responses(the cat kicking itself in the head and the polar bear jumping on the ice like there's a prey there) that fired on a false positives(false positives are more advantageous [to be precise: safer and smarter] than false negatives when you are literally a surviving machine). And humans are dumber animals than most of these. I've seen people do almost all of these and much more idiotic things. And if you think you have any better motor skills than any cat, you are wrong.

[–]jerseydevil2oo3 4 points5 points ago

These animals are not dumb at all if they can calculate a coefficient.

[–]AscentofDissent 54 points55 points ago

Ninja cat has no idea what to do with his prize.

[–]Nautis 16 points17 points ago

The polar bear is being smart too. What it's doing in the gif is attempting to break open the ice surrounding a seal pup den. www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/arctic-bears/video-polar-bears-hunt-for-seal-pups/783/

[–]ottoman_jerk 18 points19 points ago

The polar bear is being dumb by having adapted to a disappearing environment.

[–]mrwickedhauser 5 points6 points ago

I might steal this in order to be funny in the future.

[–]ASquishyJollyRancher 20 points21 points ago

The problem solving skills combined with the complete lack of empathy cats have convinces me they will someday rule the world.

[–]hejner 5 points6 points ago

First reddit, then the world.

[–]hero1012878 8 points9 points ago

First reedit, then a nap, then the world.

[–]jstarlee 2 points3 points ago

this cat is smarter than 20% of my friends.

[–]TheAckIsBack 172 points173 points ago

This was the first thing to make me genuinely laugh today. Thank you!

[–]Cyathem 44 points45 points ago

same. I actually went to the next page and thought, "Oh, hey. I wanted to upvote that." and went back. THAT is saying something.

[–]Kashik 19 points20 points ago

The last gif was so good, I was almost crying. awesome.

edit the last cat .gif!

[–]Draggedaround 12 points13 points ago

I had to leave my work desk I was laugh crying so hard. Those horses kill me.

[–]Kashik 3 points4 points ago

Oh god, everyone would have known, because I just cracked up soooo hard haha.

However I sent it to my mother. Her reaction "Those poor things!" How can she not pee herself while watching this?!

[–]effapple 5 points6 points ago

I cant stop laughing at these!

[–]IDynasoar 60 points61 points ago

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! my ass is losing gravity!

[–]remjb7 9 points10 points ago

wished every person getting older, ever

[–]Shuyo 176 points177 points ago

Shit, I hope the dog that jumped out of the car window didn't break any bones.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]ThatsAmoreEel 71 points72 points ago

Thank you for pointing this out. Makes me feel better.

[–]snailwithmonocle 3 points4 points ago

Also, did those goats have a fucking heart attack??

[–]Treesey 8 points9 points ago

They are fainting goats. check out the video

[–]Meepzors 5 points6 points ago

They're fainting goats. They have this genetic disorder that makes them completely freeze up when they get freaked out.

[–]eHawleywood 19 points20 points ago

Dogs don't run sideways at any speed. I'm concerned for that dog.

[–]evanthesquirrel 8 points9 points ago

barrel rolls

False

Aileron rolls

[–]ReactsWithWords 23 points24 points ago

Thank you, Dwight.

[–]TheRedComet 3 points4 points ago

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

[–]gifafi 2 points3 points ago

MICHAEL!

[–]Dukeboy08 2 points3 points ago

He's always there for us.

[–]Megatron_McLargeHuge 0 points1 point ago

False. Dogs don't have ailerons.

[–]axnjackson11 5 points6 points ago

The dog running looked like a Great Dane and they can run up to 30-35mph.

[–]hooizyoo 28 points29 points ago

That's the only one where I was genuinely concerned that the animal may have been seriously hurt.

[–]eHawleywood 16 points17 points ago

I was so concerned about this one, but the one where the camera makes it look like the cat could have fallen like 5 stories just made me laugh.

[–]hybris12 9 points10 points ago

Cats have nonlethal terminal velocities, so the cat is probably fine.

[–]hooizyoo 3 points4 points ago

Cat's always land on their feet and have nine lives, so I'm sure it was fine.

[–]josiahlo 14 points15 points ago

Owner's reponse link

dog hurt his paws pretty bad, lots of road rash. Doesn't look like any broken bones.

note the video is boring as fuck but I watched it for karma.

[–]lafaa123 1 point2 points ago

wrong dog, this dog was in a harness and only had his front paws out

[–]HelpfulLurker 5 points6 points ago

Knowing how most yellow labs are, there are probably a few broken rocks where he hit, him and the Great Dane are wrestling nearby.

[–]szester 6 points7 points ago

I remember when the original came out, the dog is perfectly fine.

[–]sukoto99 75 points76 points ago

Lost it when the cat started rapid-fire kicking himself in the face and then he was like "Fuck You leg!" and gnawed into himself. I laughed. Upvote!

[–]kactus 16 points17 points ago

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP LOSING SHIT

[–]Zebra2 47 points48 points ago

[–]Ashers132 16 points17 points ago

I couldn't help but go "saiiill" every time he tried to jump.

[–]ItinerantDegenerate 11 points12 points ago

I watch this everyday and it never gets old.

relevant

[–]Warpedme 6 points7 points ago

I just went skydiving for my first time recently and that gave me chills. Also helped me decide that I definitely want to do the 6 more classes and jumps required to go solo.

[–]smyd223 25 points26 points ago

That polar bear is not stupid! He's attempting to break through the ice to have a delicious meal.

[–]Wibbles 6 points7 points ago

Yup, it's how they hunt. Foxes too.

[–]desynch 10 points11 points ago

warning: turn your volume down before the fox jumps.

[–]Peregrine21591 45 points46 points ago

The horse in the 14th one is blatantly CLOP

[–]Bruce_Bruce 1 point2 points ago

I lost it on that one. If I were at those kids ages and I saw that happen right in front of me, it would've kept me laughing for about two straight months.

[–]VETTE_50_TH 11 points12 points ago

That second to last one with the cat, omg i died lol

[–]lilychaud 1 point2 points ago

RIP vette_50_th

:(

[–]ivegotboobs 23 points24 points ago

This is the hardest I've laughed at any reddit post ever!

[–]JudgeRetribution 40 points41 points ago

I've seen a lot of these but its nice to have them all in one spot. Thanks!

[–]murm87 6 points7 points ago

Agreed. And now when feeling sad I only need to click on one link.

[–]mick4state 7 points8 points ago

Most of the cats are slipping on smooth surfaces, expecting their claws to grip. This is the source of so much feline hilarity.

[–]graffiti81 6 points7 points ago

The one with the goats are fainting goats. They're not dumb, they've got a genetic mutation.

[–]PenisSizedNipples 6 points7 points ago

I can't wait for other users to start reposting these individually.

[–]neotifa 3 points4 points ago

they've already been individually reposted a million times, but the collection together just made it better.

[–]Iorek 11 points12 points ago

I had a cat that used to like to jump on top of our fish tank and stare at the fish. It was pretty harmless, so we allowed her to do it. The last time she jumped up there the glass lid slid right out from under her and shattered on the floor. Of course, she immediately fell into the fish tank and freaked out. She managed to get herself out without harming any of the fish, but she tracked dirty fish water all across the house.

[–]lonjaxson 20 points21 points ago

SOAR!

i'm an idiot. I have downvoted myself in shame.

[–]L1ghtsaber 21 points22 points ago

SAIL!*

[–]Baconsnake 10 points11 points ago

I can't hear that song without thinking of that video anymore. Cracks me up every time.

Vid

[–]neotifa 2 points3 points ago

thank you, i dont how i could have ever lived without seeing that video. my life is now complete.

(totally wasn't sarcasm btw)

[–]lonjaxson 7 points8 points ago

Wtf is wrong with me. damnit.

[–]rohanshah1 9 points10 points ago

I am just waiting for someone to post a .gif gallery where humans are even dumber than these animals.

[–]Wildfire9 10 points11 points ago

see Tosh.0

[–]P-Rickles 2 points3 points ago

That last one is actually a polar bear hunting a seal...

[–]falcon_from_bombay 3 points4 points ago

Made me chuckle on a bad work day, I thank you for that!

[–]Electric5000 2 points3 points ago

I bet I can find a lot more videos of people doing dumb things than animals. Humans the dumbest and smartest animals on Earth.

[–]melance 4 points5 points ago

Yes still smarter than most of the humans I see on Youtube.

[–]sailingonward 2 points3 points ago

What's with the sheep and the umbrella? Looks like they paralyzed with shock.

[–]Aequorea 22 points23 points ago

They are "fainting goats". They essentially faint when they are startled.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fainting_goat

[–]JeffTheSeaman 8 points9 points ago

Or the umbrella corporation's animal testing phase

[–]loki00 5 points6 points ago

They were bred to do this. The point was that when a predator would come along, they would get paralyzed and "faint" while the other valuable livestock could run to safety and the predator would take the "fainted" goat.

[–]kosuth 9 points10 points ago

They were bred*

FTFY

[–]Fangs78 2 points3 points ago

Nr 7 clearly takes a dive. Yellow card ref!

[–]everything_is_free 2 points3 points ago

Look carefully at the fifth gif from the top. The guy is clearly using his reflection in the mirror to incite his cat to jump into it.

[–]ChairYeoman 2 points3 points ago

No giraffes?

[–]Danertins 2 points3 points ago

I laughed without stopping for so long. I needed that. I used to think people crying from laughing was male cow poop but now i know. Thank you.

[–]likethatwhenigothere 0 points1 point ago

is the guy who had the horse land on him okay?

[–]JohnnyMcDoodle 0 points1 point ago

I just peed myself a little

[–]nickelbackisbad 1 point2 points ago

my favorite is the dog who jumps out of a moving car

[–]Evokerofsorts 0 points1 point ago

Oh page with 30+ gifts, excuse me while I watch the matrix, lord of the rings, and dark knight trilogies while I wait for this to finish loading.

[–]CaptainKingChampion 3 points4 points ago

I've seen all of these and I love all of these.

[–]Roqui12 5 points6 points ago

I, too, have seen many but that still doesn't mean they aren't funny!! Thanks for making me just about piss my pants at my desk while everyone is looking me because they don't understand why I'm laughing so hard!

[–]Lecks 1 point2 points ago

I actually laughed. First genuine upvote of the day for you, good sir/madam.

[–]Syraneify 4 points5 points ago

I just hope they're all okay. :(

[–]iMiXiMi 1 point2 points ago

I guarantee if you scowered. The Internet enough you could find a human being doing the exact same thing as all of these animals.

[–]lotictrance 2 points3 points ago

Or if you recorded enough bad Assassin's Creed gameplay.

[–]didyousaysomething 2 points3 points ago

My coworkers and I are crying! Nice break.

[–]Wildfire9 0 points1 point ago

I don't really see these animals as 'dumb' but rather unskilled at judgement.

[–]skywalker006 1 point2 points ago

Should have posted one with a geraffe. Geraffes are so dumb.

[–]Demeter_of_New 1 point2 points ago

MOAR!

Oh god, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thank you good sir, here are some boobs for you!

[–]Pythosblaze 0 points1 point ago

Where's the dog that bites his own foot? That's my favorite.

I felt bad for laughing at some of these, but I just....couldn't....STOP

[–]Theleman 1 point2 points ago

My face hurts from smiling for that long.

[–]TheStratStar 0 points1 point ago

Right after I clicked on this link I realized that this may be the most aggravating link to view on my phone. I will return but with my laptop and firefox.
Be warned.

[–]razabak21 0 points1 point ago

No shit, this post nearly cost me my job.

[–]zatch17 0 points1 point ago

Finally I have laughed enough to quit Reddit for the day.

or at least an hour.

[–]scigs6 1 point2 points ago

I have a dog that jumped out of a moving car. I was only driving 15 miles an hour though. I hope that pup is ok!

[–]Darkman473 0 points1 point ago

at 8 I definitely shouted "do a barrel roll!"

[–]muffley 0 points1 point ago

What is this dog doing? I can't figure it out.

[–]Skanky 6 points7 points ago

It's a leaf-blower.

[–]naldoreinstein 1 point2 points ago

fighting a vacuum cleaner perhaps

[–]andy__t 0 points1 point ago

Pretty sure those goats use that a self defence mechanism, they are too slow to run from any serious predators, so they have a seizure and play dead.

[–]aarongress 1 point2 points ago

Looking at this while listening to slow classical music just made it THAT much better!

[–]Matthiaars 1 point2 points ago

The one with the pup eating and rolling over made me pee a bit

[–]onealns 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for making my few minutes. =)

[–]StIcKLeFaCe 1 point2 points ago

This is the funniest thing iv'e seen all day.

[–]Nighthawk6857 1 point2 points ago

Everybody should give this one an up-vote because chances are we will see a hundred different versions of this during the next week.

[–]kris919 1 point2 points ago

6 all I hear is "SAIL!"

[–]Irinicmar 0 points1 point ago

The key to humour: repetition, repetition, repetition. After about 9 pictures everything started to be hilarious!

[–]almost_tomato -1 points0 points ago

I had a great laugh at school with my friends with gifs like this. I now copied the link and set it up as a calendar event when the school starts.

[–]b0utch 0 points1 point ago

Wait untill you see the human gallery....

[–]hydraulic2 -1 points0 points ago

is that cat kicking itself?

[–]DeathInTightPants 0 points1 point ago

Oh man. My everything everywhere hurts from laughing so hard.

[–]stlepin 0 points1 point ago

Please tell me you have the source video for the goats gif, I can't stop laughing

[–]D-DayDodger 1 point2 points ago

God dammit when I saw that dog jump out of the car window I laughed like a little fucking kid. That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Could be retitled: 'Animals + human stuff does not end so well for animals'. Except for the polar bear at the end, he's just doing his thing.

[–]Alfalfaaa 1 point2 points ago

sitting here grinning at my computer screen.

[–]graffiksguru 1 point2 points ago

Seen a lot of these before, but I cried at some of the new ones! Hilarious. Just as long as the dog that jumped out of the car is alright.

[–]Dandeman321 1 point2 points ago

Animals do not usually fuck up but when they do it's pure comedy.

[–]honeybunny123 1 point2 points ago

I was laughing so hard at this I started tearing up. My coworker just walked by and asked why I was crying.

[–]zzt711 1 point2 points ago

I love Firefox but it's the shittiest browser when it comes to loading animated .gif's

[–]Zenodice 1 point2 points ago

oh my fuck.. I laughed so hard

[–]Dinewiz 1 point2 points ago

Including humans

[–]ol110 1 point2 points ago

The cat in 19 looks like he breaks his neck.

[–]seanothegreat 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't help but hear all those .gifs with sound effects America's Funniest Home Video style.

[–]ANAL__CUNT 0 points1 point ago

Is no one else going to point out that there is a guy in a wheelchair running from bulls in that first one?

[–]fauxman 0 points1 point ago

the fainting goats umbrella was awesome.

[–]Adjecticve_Noun 0 points1 point ago

I didn't find it funny until like the third one but now I can't stop laughing

[–]Mrkiruru 1 point2 points ago

actually the polar bear at the end is hunting for food. they usually head bump the ice to break through the ice... :/ wouldn't call it stupidity.

[–]jazzrz 0 points1 point ago

I just realized where the term "scared stiff" comes from.

[–]IrvingI80 -1 points0 points ago

I literally cried of laughter! Thanks for making my day OP :)

[–]Bitemeee 1 point2 points ago

oh god, i lost it with the horse and the yoga ball

[–]laneige1990 0 points1 point ago

aaaahahahaha. Omg, that cat second pic to the bottom actually made my day...

[–]insanelurker -1 points0 points ago

I don't know about you but I'd consider this puppy to be pretty smart.

[–]basilbakerst 0 points1 point ago

If I could upvote this more than once, I would have. I haven't laughed that hard in way too long.

[–]griffith12 -1 points0 points ago

christ, there is a puddle of tears on my desk.

[–]Serrith -1 points0 points ago

If you really want to laugh stream nicki minaj - Starships and watch all the .gif

[–]Ayjlm 0 points1 point ago

Damn nature, you stupid.

[–]AnnatheHordie 0 points1 point ago

The last one is just a polar bear trying to dig through the ice for the rats and stuff living under it.

[–]heree_kitteh_kitteh 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for this. I laughed so hard.

[–]kara123125 0 points1 point ago

I knew my .gif collection would come in handy some day.

note: these are only some of my animal ones.

[–]sinnokmegin 1 point2 points ago

Good sir and/or madam. I had a shitty day to day, but this real cheerd me up! thank you.

[–]chatttheleaper 1 point2 points ago

I see a bit of street fighter in that horse who bucked in the street.

[–]Ikari_Shinji_kun_01 1 point2 points ago

I think most of them would be thinking "oh shit oh shit oh shit!" lol

[–]sideout2 1 point2 points ago

And now I have the hiccups.

[–]rerdioherd -1 points0 points ago

Not dumb; willing to take a risk for what they want.

[–]Garphin 1 point2 points ago

I cast my vote for best gif gallery ever. All my coworkers are looking at me like I'm a psycho for laughing so much.

[–]KidLouis -1 points0 points ago

It's funny how there's an "Animals being dumb" thread on 4chan, then I see every one of them in a post.

[–]airexx 1 point2 points ago

I didn't want this to end! Funniest part was my dog looking at me laughing like "asshole!"

[–]adorablefairprincess 1 point2 points ago

I am literally crying. That is so funny. Thank you for sharing!

[–]Teiresias666 1 point2 points ago

Hilarious post, but the polar bear isn't dumb, it's eating seal babies.

[–]Jeeraph 0 points1 point ago

No giraffes I see. [Proof]

[–]zacuke 0 points1 point ago

These animals look and act surprisingly similar to people in these situations.

[–]thisisawebsite 1 point2 points ago

Oh, I haven't laughed so hard in a while. The horse ones were amazing. I especially loved the exercise ball horse.

[–]TokinBIll 0 points1 point ago

Is that guy in the first gif "wheeling with the bulls?"

[–]hayzlit 1 point2 points ago

Oh how my face cheeks hurt from laughing. My other cheeks are soiled.

[–]abelisntright 1 point2 points ago

I literally had to close the window about halfway down the page out of self-preservation because I was laughing so loudly in my cubicle.

[–]Miserable_Bugger 1 point2 points ago

6th one down literally made me cry with laughter! Its the paws!

[–]Axyl_V 1 point2 points ago

It seems strange for me calling those animals dumb. You can find people doing similar things on the internet. I have found that people like to call other people dumb mostly because hindsight.

[–]onedrummer2401 -1 points0 points ago

Too many fucking gifs for my phone.
