Sheer lunacy

by Meg on June 16, 2006

Some puppitudes have been clipped for the summertime heat. But wait—don’t tell me someone clipped off an extra ear or two in the process?! D’oh!

Slurp

Thanks to Xuriken for finding this image [I was told to say that.]

Aww!

2 amanda 06.16.06 at 2:07 pm

i think he ate his ears! aww.

3 esme 06.16.06 at 2:07 pm

It’s a little Weeble dog!!!!!!!

4 Dolly 06.16.06 at 2:07 pm

WHOA! and I only see one paw….is that thing real?

5 Jay Fry 06.16.06 at 2:08 pm

…not to mention that the smaller puppitude also appears to have no nose!

6 A thinker 06.16.06 at 2:20 pm

heehee. The righthand one looks like a laughing sock puppet.

7 spamabella 06.16.06 at 2:20 pm

Weeble… I was going to that exactly!

8 AuntieMame 06.16.06 at 2:25 pm

Argh. The one on the right also looks like a cartoon character from about 30 years ago, that I cannot remember the name of, but it was a little white rubber thing about that shape, called The…something. But I can’t think what.

Wait, I remembered. The Schmoo!

He must be real – it’s simply and incontrovertibly not possible to create such a pinkified tongue in some artificial manner.

10 punkpie 06.16.06 at 2:34 pm

*gasp* I think I just got a cavity!

they look like perfect little stuffed animals… I want to snorgle in the worst way!!!1

11 d. 06.16.06 at 2:38 pm

It’s Barbapapa!!

12 Nickole 06.16.06 at 2:40 pm

Is that a hairy penguin to the right?

13 Mike G. 06.16.06 at 2:40 pm

He looks like a furry baby seal pup.

14 karisma 06.16.06 at 2:43 pm

The one on the left looks like it is saying: Touch me, come on just touch me! The one on the right looks like it sucked it’s ears back into its head. He says: Watch what I can do!! :o )

15 TheLuna 06.16.06 at 2:44 pm

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down! (A couple of folks beat me to it, but I still had to say it!)

16 Nickole 06.16.06 at 2:45 pm

… or ON the right? Or AT the right? Or the righthand one?

The smallest one is the one I mean, obviously, but I think the language is defeating me.

On, to, at, onononon-totototo-atatatat *donk!* Grammatical error overload.

17 A thinker 06.16.06 at 2:45 pm

AuntieMame: as opposed to The Schmoop?

18 arbed 06.16.06 at 2:45 pm

Schmoo and penguin were what first popped into my head – too funny!

19 A thinker 06.16.06 at 2:46 pm

Nickole: eep? did I make a grammatical error?

Not Possible ;)

20 Tugg's Mom 06.16.06 at 2:49 pm

hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

21 Leilani 06.16.06 at 2:49 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Noselick!! TOO CUTE!!!!!!

22 connie 06.16.06 at 2:53 pm

OHMYGOD!!! TOO CUTE!!!! What kind of puppehs are they??!!?

23 Nickole 06.16.06 at 2:56 pm

Na, “thinker”, I couldn’t possibly tell if anyone else makes grammatical errors, what with me being Norwegian and with all my knowlegde of English from Isis Audio Books.

24 K 06.16.06 at 2:58 pm

Pommies win the internet!

25 connie 06.16.06 at 3:02 pm
26 Gillian 06.16.06 at 3:04 pm

they’re pomeranians.

damn i wish i could lick my own nose.

27 A thinker 06.16.06 at 3:10 pm

Well, Nickole, if that’s so, you’re doing pretty darn well.

28 M Gomez 06.16.06 at 3:13 pm

AAAWWWW!!!

29 Diem 06.16.06 at 3:16 pm

I think the little schweetie to the right is really a little dry baby seal!

30 Maddy 06.16.06 at 3:23 pm

Juicy eyes!

31 David 06.16.06 at 3:28 pm

Someone sorta beat me to it, but I gotta say it anyway…. “That’s what happens when you cross a Pomeranian and a penguin!”

32 Elizabeth 06.16.06 at 3:29 pm

Oh. The little shmoo-py on the right looks like a cuter dog version of the girl in Boxing Helena. But oh! the happy happy tongue!

33 Danielle 06.16.06 at 3:32 pm

Holy whoa I want to eat my own arm they are so freaking cute! I just can’t deal with the sheer cuteness! My head is about to explode!

34 Ben Tong 06.16.06 at 3:33 pm

HAHAHAH! The tounge!

35 alice 06.16.06 at 3:42 pm

Awwww fluffitude! Present-Ear Pom could be in ballet class pointing her toes while Absent-Ear is just goofing around.

36 Lucy 06.16.06 at 3:44 pm

What kind of dogs are those?

37 English Chick 06.16.06 at 3:49 pm

awh! they are so cute.
and majorly fluffy.
the lack of ears is cute yet disturbing.
mostly cute though

38 Deana Rickard 06.16.06 at 3:53 pm

O M G!!! It looks like a baby seal, (on the right). I almost expect him to sit up and start clapping his front paws. AAAAAWWWWWWW
Deanabug =^.^=

39 Meg V 06.16.06 at 3:58 pm

Oh my goodness! The poor one on the left has no ears, nose, or front paws! I ask you, what IS this world coming to?!

40 Maureen 06.16.06 at 3:58 pm

And speaking about dextrous tongues: I saw a hedgehog yesterday who was licking his own EARS!!

41 Laurie C 06.16.06 at 3:59 pm

Seal, absolutely. But the Canadians among us may also see the resemblance of the earless little guy to Ookpik.

42 A thinker 06.16.06 at 4:01 pm

Ookpik:

http://melvilleairstation.tripod.com/labsuv1.jpg

tee hee!

I’d never seen him before, Laurie C :)

43 Doubleclick 06.16.06 at 4:03 pm

CUTEST. OWLS. EVER.

44 Laurie C 06.16.06 at 4:03 pm

“I saw a hedgehog yesterday who was licking his own EARS!!”

Is he single?

45 A thinker 06.16.06 at 4:06 pm

Or, apparently, also a calico Scottish fold:

http://www.kinrossfolds.com/cattery/rose_litter6.html

46 A Fine Morsel 06.16.06 at 4:07 pm

I burst out laughing at this one. That really is a Schmoo! Ha Ha Ha!!!

47 apathet 06.16.06 at 4:20 pm

OMG!!! That dog looks like a FURBY!!! *runs around the room screaming*

48 Sabba 06.16.06 at 4:21 pm

Hm… yes, I deff see the Scottish Fold impression, Thinker. … But the names of those cats?????

“Petagaye’s England Rose of Kinross”
and “GRC Beepafold Elvis Stojko of Kinross”

… “Beepafold”??? Oh dear… I wonder what the Earless Pommie’s name is? If we knew, we could make an even better comparison between Pom and Fold.

49 A thinker 06.16.06 at 4:29 pm

Sabba: if you scroll down, you will see that the calico kitty’s name is Ookpik. Very funny.

50 greenighs 06.16.06 at 4:41 pm

The further out he sticks his tongue, the further in his ears go. ^_^

51 Liana 06.16.06 at 4:43 pm

O_O Is that a furby??!

52 Rafael 06.16.06 at 4:46 pm

Dudes, nice cuts!

53 Doubleclick 06.16.06 at 4:47 pm

Is anyone else imagining that the dog on the left is bipedal, and that those legs we can see are actually its rear limbs? If you haven’t done this yet, do it immediately. The cute level rises even higher.

54 Angela 06.16.06 at 4:48 pm

OH MY GOD! OH! OH MY GOD! OH NO! OH! OH IT’S TOO FREAKISHLY CUTE! OH HEAVENS TO BETSY! OH! OH MY GOD!

55 Liana 06.16.06 at 4:52 pm

see now, Which one would you adopt? *sighs* This is why pomeranian pups come in bunches! this is almost the perfect “Be yourself” pic.

56 Sabba 06.16.06 at 4:53 pm

Thinker, yes, I did see Ookpik, however, the names of Ookpik’s parentage way out-redonked Ookpik’s own. And I thought that horse people had some interesting names for their prize horses…

57 christina 06.16.06 at 4:54 pm

okay – this is by far the most cute picture i have ever seen here…or anywhere for that matter. i’d like to see what tops this one. (if such a picture exists, i will pass out and explode from the cuteness)

58 jenni joon 06.16.06 at 4:54 pm

… (on the ground… rolling..laughing so hard).. wait.. that tongue! OMG! Please.. I give! I give! Uncle…(LOL). What a great pic. Made me really laugh out loud. I wonder if the other dogs laugh at the clipped dogs?? Hah. But the clipped puppers have the last laugh when the non-clipped puppers are sweatin’ their tushes off!

59 fate 06.16.06 at 4:56 pm

ahhh i luv pomaranians!!!

60 E. Collison 06.16.06 at 4:57 pm

yerp – pup on right really *does* look like a Schmoo. (Fer yez young ‘uns, they were in “Lil’ Abner,” written & drawn by Al Capp.) I also love the seal comparisons!

See ya all on Sun. – my nephew’s getting married this weekend, so i’m off to the festivities.

61 Tracey 06.16.06 at 5:01 pm

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

62 A thinker 06.16.06 at 5:05 pm

Have fun, E.C.!!

And Sabba, yes, you are right. I guess the need to be original trumps the need to be sensible :)

63 Norty 06.16.06 at 5:05 pm

d.
BARBAPAPA!!!! LOL!!! that’s EXACTLY what I thought when I looked at it… *sigh*
I don’t want to pet them.. or snorgle them… I want to pat them lightly on their soft spikeys!!!

64 Aubrey 06.16.06 at 5:06 pm

Congratulations, EC.
And was it Van Ostade? Gerrit Dou? (sorry – carried over from pants-less cat post.)

Oh, and that pup on the right reminds me of a Russian Matrioska Nesting doll:

65 amy 06.16.06 at 5:10 pm

i think he looks like the mr. peanut guy… minus the top hat and cane, of course. : )

66 E. Collison 06.16.06 at 5:16 pm

Aubrey – will have to investigate later, but not Dou. he was famous for so-called “niche paintings.” (Genre scenes framed in a niche, ya know.)

I think you’re right about the matroyshka thing, too – and the *tongue* on that baby. Wow! Too too too funny. [Hee.]

67 E. Collison 06.16.06 at 5:17 pm

A thinker, check your e-mail.

Will write to you, too, Aubrey, tho’ not right now.

Cheers all!

68 Saska 06.16.06 at 5:50 pm

greenighs, you beat me to it. I believe that the tongue extension directly impacts the ear protrusion – but also the protrusion of the legs. If one were to, say, lift him by his tongue, one would have a perfectly round ball of fluff easily mistaken for a rearview mirror ornament.

69 stephanie 06.16.06 at 5:59 pm

what kind of dogs are those? i want one!

70 stephanie 06.16.06 at 6:01 pm

what kind of dogs are those? i want one!

71 Laura 06.16.06 at 6:58 pm

It looks like a fuzzy bowling pin with a face painted on it.

72 bunnajenny 06.16.06 at 7:05 pm

All I’ve heard today from my husband’s side of the office is furry bowling pin, followed by chortling. I see he’s not alone!

73 Claire 06.16.06 at 7:09 pm

Saska: I’m dying! Review mirror ornament! *Thud*

74 The Guy Over There 06.16.06 at 7:10 pm

Bwa ha ha! That dog looks like a Gleep! He could pose as the stunt double for a live action Herculoids movie!

75 TheLuna 06.16.06 at 7:30 pm

Saska/Claire: I’m in! I want a fuzzy bowling pin hanging from my mirror!

76 Deb 06.16.06 at 7:54 pm

They’re all spiffed up, ready to attend Mr. Winkle’s family reunion.

77 Rafael 06.16.06 at 8:26 pm

“I lick myself;
I want you lick me;
I forget myself;
I want you to remind me!”

78 The Guy Over There 06.16.06 at 8:35 pm

Oh. My. God.

Furry bowling pin is the exact description for his smaller friend.

79 Jes 06.16.06 at 8:59 pm

It’s a furry brown penguin!

80 Nickole 06.16.06 at 9:36 pm

Yeah, well, thinker. We might have had a tiny little introduction to the English language in school, say 14 years and more ago.

But that was like:
“I am
you are
he, she, it is
- and don’t you get all creative on me in class!”

Nothing really useful for posting comments on Cute Overload, anyway…

81 WickedWendy 06.16.06 at 9:37 pm

Auntie Mame! Schmoo is the first thing I thought of too!! That is the funniest looking dog I’ve ever seen!

82 Brak_Silverbone 06.16.06 at 9:50 pm

These two dogs are definitely laughing, and the one on the right is laughing so hard he’s going “*snorfle* *snort* *snorfle*”.

Note to self: look up the Pantone color number of that tongue…

83 you guys r silly 06.16.06 at 10:56 pm

Meg:
*YOU*SWEETHEART*YOU!!!
I’ve had SUCH a week FULL o’ CRAP…This is the first chance in my hellish week that I’ve been able to peek at cuteoverload and
*THIS * PICTURE * MADE * ME * GIGGLE * MYSELF * SENSELESS…!!! *
Thank you thank you thank you! &:o)
(And YES — earless puppeh on the right is DEFINATELY a close cousin to either The Shmoo or Barbapapa…)
&:o)

84 Kandy 06.17.06 at 1:39 am

Who needs ears, a nose, OR paws when you’re THAT cute. Just a rolling ball of fur…

85 ElfOwl, B.S., M.A., I.W.T.F.M. 06.17.06 at 2:27 am

I spent today trying to make sense out of the worst pieces of tech writing I’ve seen in my entire life. Picture what would happen if a second grader had to write an essay on “How I fixed my installation problem this summer.”

Then I come on here, and there are puppies EVERYWHERE! Life is worth living. :-P

Oh, and yeah, bowling pin was my first thought too.

86 E. Collison 06.17.06 at 5:09 am

More Shmoo-ness here:

(yes, I admit that I, too, spelled it amiss.)

87 Mina 06.17.06 at 7:07 am

Puppy tongue!! I love it!! XD

88 bunnajenny's busband 06.17.06 at 12:31 pm

Eyes of a Furby
With animatronic tongue
Furry bowling pin

Heavily weighted
Round lower extremities
Always rights himself

Eyes closed and big smile
Relieved because his Swiffer
Career is over

89 ariel 06.17.06 at 1:20 pm

sweet, bjb!

90 brownamazon 06.17.06 at 2:31 pm

Aubrey, re: the lewd cat–

Perhaps you’re thinking of Jan Steen? Dou’s figures are entirely too refined (and, um, properly clothed…). Mr. feline sprawl is definitely all “Fat Kitchen”.

91 tammy 06.17.06 at 2:36 pm

bj’s husband… nice haiku set :)

92 Nampeung 06.17.06 at 5:48 pm

Awwwww how cute they are!!!…and yeah funny hehe

93 Teddy 06.17.06 at 6:13 pm

I swear that the one on the right is picking his nose with his tounge.. umm not so cute

teddy

94 Villeline 06.17.06 at 6:57 pm

Yup, that’s what you get when you crossbreed dogs and peanuts.

95 Geoff 06.17.06 at 11:14 pm

See no evil, hear no evil, smell no evil.

:)

96 Meg 06.18.06 at 12:36 am

At least they weren’t cute like “Trapezoid Head”.

97 angela 06.19.06 at 6:49 am

so cute!

98 ally ee 06.19.06 at 10:58 am

Oh…too cute~~!!

99 Alex 06.20.06 at 1:51 pm

The earless on kinda looks like the peanut guy……

100 Rafael 06.20.06 at 2:11 pm

It’s good that they clip them for the summer. My cousing had a violet colored Chow and she would shed something awful in the summer (or when she had puppies). It was not a pretty site, although she was the sweetest pup you ever saw.

104 moonxela 07.06.06 at 9:40 pm
