There is nothing funny about this image. The animal is stranded in a flood. There is nowhere to lay down and sleep. Poor creature has been awake for days at this point, and is passing out due to exhaustion.

[–]fireboats 16 points17 points ago

Thank you, I hate this fucking gif so much and especially hate the thought of someone laughing at it.

[–]LieutenantCuppycake 3 points4 points ago

This is also a strategy employed in torture techniques to achieve sleep deprivation. It is agonizing and miserable. This belongs more in r/morbidreality than r/funny.

And my evening is now fucked.

[–]Zukas 20 points21 points ago

Not to mention this GIF has been posted at least a hundred times, always with a the same damn title or close to it.

sorry, I have not only seen this gif reposted several times, I've seen the full video. Its just so sad.

Go ahead and laugh it up. I'm not stopping you.

[–]thepyrodex[S] 20 points21 points ago

I looked it up and you're right, out of context its good for a laugh, but watching the full video is sad. I didn't know.

Edit: reddit, please read the full string of comments between me and jpigley, I want to know if anyone thinks his argument makes any sense. Thank and happy redditing!

[–]systemlord 9 points10 points ago

that's ok. I just totally removed your RES tag that read "piece of shit laughs at drowning dog" and instead reads "decent, well adjusted individual". Good stuff.

stop being a karma whore

[–]jpiglet 0 points1 point ago

Yes, posting something unpopular and bound to be downvoted is being a karma whore.

If you can't figure out the difference between a cow getting their head stuck and a dog passing out due to exhaustion after a flood, and why one is funny and the other isn't, there is something seriously wrong with your brain.

[–]thepyrodex[S] -1 points0 points ago

No, what's wrong is that you rate the life of creatures differently based on the "cute" factor, do you think they saved that cow?

[–]jpiglet 0 points1 point ago

Wow, that doesn't even make any sense. I'm "rating" the two based on the circumstances. Your picture is based on tragic circumstances. The cow picture is based on the animal being stupid and making a bad decision.

Typical though. You're called out on something and instead of defending yourself you immediately try to focus on what other people are doing. That's very 12 year old of you.

[–]thepyrodex[S] -1 points0 points ago

Ah Yes, acting like a 12 year old, they always bring up points of contest with your argument and adults insult people and try to demean them.

You claim there is a difference between the 2 but how so? Please lay out the full logic of how the cow with his head stuck is funny? Corporate farms would just slaughter the animal to save the trouble of extracting a 1000-1800 lbs. animal that is only worth its weight in meat. (there no udder so even being a breeding male wouldn't make him that valuable him)

But a tired dog, now that just horrible, and do you really thing that in a semi urban setting that there a no stairs, park benches, hills, ramps, rocks or any other object that he could fit on top of, especaily in 3-4 only inches of water. He isn't swimming for his life, and he's no being swep away. It's unfortunate that the dog was in that situation and if I had been there I would have a third dog instead of only 2.

Aslo I at no point insulted you or your opinion, if you read the comment posted way before yours, you will see I didn't know the story when I first posted this. The only point I brought up is the inconsistency of you views, the fact that with you having posted publicly a picture an animal in distress as funny then go into a tissy over this shows such. You were jumping on the bandwagon trying to get some comment karma for agreeing with the mob and now someone has called you out. I don't think this makes your opinion wrong, I just believe that you should to stop flipfloping on the topic.

[–]thepyrodex[S] 0 points1 point ago

And just because it should be noted, at the time you started making your comments, most comment trashing the post were being upvoted. In addition to that you claim I'm trying to equate 2 non equal situation and yet your first argument against me tried to equate this dog with staving children and brutal murders. (Quoted below so you cannot delete it.) I am willing to have my logic proven insufficient but please back up you points and stop trying to change the topic that is being debated.

Following qutoe from: jpiglet

Yeah, it's so funny out of context. Someone getting shot in the head is also funny when you don't know the context? Starving kids so skinny they can't walk is funny out of context?

You don't need context, just common fucking sense.

[–]jpiglet 0 points1 point ago

You seem incapable of following this conversation and I'm at a complete loss as to what the point is you're trying to make. You ARE trying to compare two dissimilar situations. I can't help it if you don't understand how analogies work. You stated that the picture was funny out of context. I offered other tragic situations and asked if those were funny out of context. What was your response? "Don't pay attention to what I did, look what you did!"

[–]thepyrodex[S] 0 points1 point ago

Once again, as I asked you in the other comment, please explain the difference between the cow pic and the dog gif. I would love to see a well thought out explanation of this (as ask for in the previous comments).

I am not trying to hop around in this conversation, I want you to defend your view with more then distractions and over the top analogies. This is an open invitation to calmly and clearly defend your point. Please go and read this string of comments from the top, and then explain your point.

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point ago

How does the video end? Did the camera guy just let it drown, or actually save it?

[–]pomegranati 23 points24 points ago

his happened during a flood. This dog has been up for days because there were no place for him to lay down and sleep, so he stands. As he stands, he fall asleep, which causes him to fall over and his face hit the water and he wakes up again, only to be too tired to stay awake, so he does it again and again and again as the camera man just watch.

[–]snowlion13 6 points7 points ago

sheesh, do you think they could cradle the dog? or do something?

[–]rbcrusaders 0 points1 point ago

maybe he did after.

i like to expect the good in people

[–]rhunex -4 points-3 points ago

Thanks Sir Buzzkillington, you ruined my night. I'm sad now :(

[–]balickma 21 points22 points ago

This isn't fucking funny, stop posting it in /r/funny for fuck's sake.

Edit: and over 900 votes, YAY REDDIT

[–]thepyrodex[S] -1 points0 points ago

A display of cruelty was not the intention, I was just posting what I thought at the time to be a funny gif. The goal was a chuckle and a smile for those who saw it. I can only hope that you can try and see it in the way intended and not as an attack on r/funny or what it stands for

[–]kensai01 4 points5 points ago

What I need to know is was the dog OK in the end? I need this because otherwise I will just imagine the worst case scenario because the world sucks that much most of the time. Please someone tell me that the camera man helped the dog?

[–]Redknight69 9 points10 points ago

Who the fuck is up voting for laughs a dog that's so exhausted it can't even stand anymore. Disgusting! OP should remove this.

[–]textual_predditor 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. It is disgusting that anyone would find a drowning dog funny... And why the hell didn't the cameraman help the poor thing... Or did he?

[–]Cynikal818 -2 points-1 points ago

If you didn't know the back story (I didn't) then it was kind of funny. Stop being so fucking butt hurt. I've seen my cats/dogs pass out in weird positions and I've laughed my ass off.

[–]clockworkgirl21 0 points1 point ago

This is not funny! How dare you not know the backstory for every image ever!

[–]OFFICER_REPOST 3 points4 points ago

Really? You know what it's like to be so exhausted and unable to find a place to sleep after a flood that you pass out in water? Did you think you'd find it fucking hilarious?

[–]flexytev 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone know what breed this is if not a mutt? Great looking dog, tears my heart out to see it this way.

[–]Sebrinawithane 1 point2 points ago

If people are recording it, that means they saves the little guy right? : /

[–]eMinstrel 0 points1 point ago

This is a relevant article in LIFE '65. They deprived this cat of sleep to observe the effects.

U MAD BRO?

Not everyone knows the back story you whiny piece of shit.

[–]ramonycajones 0 points1 point ago

If the dog is passing out in the water but still not leaving, presumably it doesn't have anywhere to go to sleep. You don't need to know the specific backstory to know this isn't a funny situation.

[–]Cynikal818 2 points3 points ago

...it's a gif. Come the fuck on...how was I really supposed to know? Even if I tried to google "passing out dog" I'd get funny vids.

I don't assume everything is from some fucked situation. I had no idea the dog was stuck. What ever, the hivemind wants to act like all knowing all correct white nights about this...I don't care. I had no idea what the circumstances were...I clicked a link and thought, "awww silly pup."

Go ahead and gather the pitch forks...or get over it and don't assume everyone is as informed about a gif...a fucking GIF, as you are.

Cheers.

[–]thepyrodex[S] 0 points1 point ago

Bravo sir, well said, it was all I ment by this post

[–]OFFICER_REPOST 0 points1 point ago

No, that's not what you MEANT.

[–]thepyrodex[S] -1 points0 points ago

Ah so you're one of those internet psychics with abilities can read intentions from a title and a gif. And what is the title? Is it watch a dog die in a flood or was the point to express the feeling of utter exhaustion in a short gif

[–]OFFICER_REPOST -1 points0 points ago

Right, because there was NO indication of the back story at all. I'm sure it's on every one of the previous postings for this picture.

Do you think dogs just normally pass out in water? Of all the places they could fall asleep, water is where they'd pick given a choice? Grow some fucking brain cells.

...do you have a problem with reading comprehension? Or do you not get the fact that I never saw this before? I don't live on Reddit. Go out side junior. Stop taking the internet so seriously.

[–]OFFICER_REPOST 0 points1 point ago

Regardless of whether or not you saw the picture before, common sense should have prevailed here.

"Do you think dogs just normally pass out in water? Of all the places they could fall asleep, water is where they'd pick given a choice? Grow some fucking brain cells."

[–]Cynikal818 -1 points0 points ago

Hahaha...ohh man. Medical condition? Worn the fuck out? I've seen my dog plop over as a puppy and pass the fuck out.

I'm not arguing this with you anymore kid. You're pathetic.

Go join PETA or something if you're so upset about it.

[–]OFFICER_REPOST 0 points1 point ago

Are you just pulling shit out of the air at this point?

Your analogy is ridiculous. When your dog falls asleep, is it due to exhaustion from being trapped after a flood?

[–]pixilizi 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't take a genius to figure the back story out.

[–]OFFICER_REPOST -1 points0 points ago

U STUPID BRO?

Never saw it before. Get over it.
