9 Cutebabyfix.com 03.22.07 at 10:53 am

Knut is the cutest ever! They’d better increase the security at the zoo, because I feel a bear-napping plot hatching…. No, wait – anyone up for a road trip to the North Pole? We could pick up a 4-5 baby polar bears, keep a couple for ourselves, and make a mint selling the rest on eBay!

10 MooMoo 03.22.07 at 11:27 am

AAARGH! He’s such a cute little rascal. =3 His fur looks so soft, too!

11 julien canavezes 03.22.07 at 11:31 am

I WANT THE SAME !!!!!!! right now !!! it’s soooo cute

12 BOSSY 03.22.07 at 12:13 pm

That is too cute, Bossy cannot contain herself. She would like to go to the SPCA and adopt one for her very own family. She’d like to make it a little sleeping mat in the family room and serve it cooked chicken. And then when it mauls her to death, Bossy would like to be buried under a bearskin rug.

13 sharonoverdrive 03.22.07 at 12:17 pm

Yeah, those animal activists who say Knut is better off dead rather than be raised by humans are MEANIES!!!!
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/03/19/polar.bear.ap/

Is there any chance that he may grow up to be sweet and cuddly, if sometimes a little rough with his human handlers when he gets big?
And how can you say that about a widdle cub, who gots such cute lickable ears? Sheesh!

14 Lone 03.22.07 at 12:33 pm

What, no brushing segment? A CRIME.

15 layla42 03.22.07 at 12:39 pm

Argh! I have to wait until I leave work to see more Knut?
*sigh*
It’ll be worth it though. I do loves that widdle man!

16 Jason 03.22.07 at 12:43 pm

So adorable!!

17 Lea 03.22.07 at 12:44 pm

Okay, the tacked-up pics of the family are killing me. Kill.ing.me. <3

18 Daniel 03.22.07 at 12:48 pm

Ok, I give. I surrender.

I’m now convinced Knut is the cutest animal to ever live.

The scene with them skritching his head while he does PAWS UP is redonk squared.

*hug Knut*

19 gravyboat 03.22.07 at 1:00 pm

EEEEEK!!! I’m gonna e-sploooooode!!!

20 boylston 03.22.07 at 1:33 pm

Holy schmoly, I did almost keel over and die. The feeding, with the paws out and the nawm nawm….like I said, holy schmoly. I think that may be the cutest thing I have ever seen on here!

21 ally 03.22.07 at 1:50 pm

Hey Knut Lovers
You so have to check out this recent video of KNUT on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys7iaMJLDsU

its from the new in germany where they keep the people up to date with Knut stories every week. Its in german and he is mostly talking about knut growing up. But you gotta pay attention to Knuts noise when he is hungry sooooo adorable.
ENJOOOOYYYYY :) :)

22 ally 03.22.07 at 1:56 pm
23 TanksMom 03.22.07 at 2:05 pm

Knut needs his own reality show. I cant take the cuteness….seriously….itis so CUTE it hurts!!!! It makes me cry!!!

24 Wendy 03.22.07 at 2:08 pm

I

W A N T

O N E !

That little baby is just too damned cute.

Why any idiot would suggest he should have been left to die is beyond my comprehension! Some folks just take things too far.

25 anner 03.22.07 at 2:17 pm

has anyone found any clips of Knut without a soundtrack? my husband was saying that it would be really great to hear what kind of sounds he’s making.

26 Theo 03.22.07 at 2:18 pm

PS — Good morning, Other Mike. How’s the head?

27 AuntieMame 03.22.07 at 2:51 pm

Anner, the links in ally’s posts above have Knut sounds that you can hear behind the speaking voice.

The only words I understood were klein freund Knut. And I love that the German word for polar bear is Eisbär. Sounds like a fuzzy popsicle.

28 rin 03.22.07 at 3:26 pm

The latest update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1fgHN-mtXw (video in German, but the poster added descriptions in English). Wie süß!

[snif]

[lip quivers]

WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I WANT HIM!!!

32 carmen 03.22.07 at 4:56 pm

i so want one of those little guys! knut is the cutest thing ever!!!!!

33 AliceTanzer 03.22.07 at 5:32 pm

I like learning that his name is pronounces K-noot not K-nut. Makes it just that much cuter ^^

34 AndieG 03.22.07 at 5:47 pm

Knut does not need to worry about BECOMING a killing machine when he grows up, he will just KEEL you with his cuteness RIGHT NOW!!

35 Courtney 03.22.07 at 6:13 pm

NTMTOM, that was awesome. :)

sharonoverdrive, unfortunately at a certain point, Knut’s not going to be able to be around humans all that much. I saw a great Nature episode about two baby polar bears at a zoo, and once they reach a certain size, they’re just too dangerous (even though they still like the company of their former handlers, they really don’t know their own strength).

Lesson learned: we all gotta get our snorgling in when we can!

36 zosterops 03.22.07 at 6:35 pm

the problem with knut is – there will obviously never be another living things as supercute. I mean it. How could this bear ever be topped? is this a sign the worlds going to end!? how can mankind be expected to exist without the hope of this cute level ever being reached again???

37 tblue 03.22.07 at 7:11 pm

Watch this video almost to the end and you will hear Knut squawking loudly for his bottle! Daddy is holding him on his lap and reaching for the bottle, and Knut starts squirming, reaching, and squealing that he wants his numnums NOW!

Knooooot icebear! w00t!

The walkingk alongk on the wobbly paws to sniff at the camera lens.

oooo, hims a cuuuute godless killing machine.

Also +100 to NTMTOM.

39 Teri 03.22.07 at 7:50 pm

Ok…this little fellow looks JUST LIKE a teddy bear! He simply cannot be real! He’s just tooooooo plump and prosh and wobbly and totally kissable.

40 Penny Ward 03.22.07 at 8:55 pm

I think the caption to this video should be changed. There are organizations who have made it quite clear that this precious cub should be euthenized because it is not natural to hand feed a polar bear. Knut is adorable and precious and has brought such happiness to so many. He certainly has a place in this world. Please change the caption.

41 Not That Mike The Other Mike 03.22.07 at 9:05 pm

Penny, maybe Theo will change the caption later. He seems to have the ability to alter text around here. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if he swooped in at some point and changed something in this post!

(silence)

Ahem, I **SAID** “It wouldn’t surprise me if he swooped in at some point and changed something in this post!”

42 Yubi Shines 03.22.07 at 9:09 pm

Oh, also, I think someone was asking in one of the Knut posts – Knut seems to be pronounced “ka-noot”, rhyming with loot.

43 Ivonne 03.22.07 at 9:44 pm

OMG!!!!! I got a heart attack the first time I saw him, he keeps barfing rainbows in my head over and over again!!!! I almost die here, Meg, what were you thinking?? I’m at the office fer cryin’ ou lou!!!!!

44 maggie 03.22.07 at 10:48 pm

awww!!!!! the polar bears sooo cute!! its really sad at the end where hes crying to the pictures of the other polar bearS!!! hes soo cute though

45 Lizzy 03.22.07 at 10:48 pm

Today I wish it said “So cute you might NOT kill yourself” or “So cute you’ve got a reason to live.” [/personal drama]

I’m against breeding in general but I wouldn’t mind if some scientists somewhere were working on a bebeh polar bear pet that would stay teeny and awkward forever.

46 sockmonstersarai 03.23.07 at 12:53 am

Thank you. Seriously needed some Qte today. Hell week. Just hellish. Keep tossin’ Qte at me and I’ll stay away from strong drink.

47 Layla42 03.23.07 at 1:11 am

NTMTOM–Holy Crap…I mean…dude…any room in that padded cell for me?

Thanks to the mini-threatdown from the Colbert Repor, I now have my husband laughing and cooing at schweet widdle Knut!

I loves me that widdle bear man!

48 musicchick2 03.23.07 at 1:58 am

NTMTOM – Um…. HUH??? I don’ get it!
And Knute? SOOOOOO adorable!!! I wanna snuggle heem and lub heem and play patty cake wif his big feeties. : ~ )

49 Theo 03.23.07 at 2:24 am

MC2 — Other Mike got an UBER bleen this morning… this was him running with it.
Stheriously, I bout died.

50 Not That Mike The Other Mike 03.23.07 at 2:46 am

TO EVERYONE CONFUSED BY MY EARLIER POST IN THIS THREAD:

My apologies for the strangeness. That post was an inside joke aimed at the person (and I *think* I know who it is, but I’m not sure) who altered my “first post” message at the top of this thread. It’s also a spoof of a similar post I made in the “Mini Bear Threat Down” thread just to the left of this one.

I figured that I’d leave a lot of you scratching your heads over that post, but rest assured that the intended recipient had a good time with it. :-)

51 Theo 03.23.07 at 2:56 am

Anybody know what this guy’s talking about?
(not that guy, the other guy)

Bwa ha.

52 pyrit 03.23.07 at 3:36 am

NTMTOM – Wow. If you don’t wear a cool mask and super hero cape, you should.

Okay Theo AND, Y’know the ‘other’ Mike. Just so you know:

I’m not in on ALL of the ‘in’ jokes but I’m still LMAO over here! :p

*** KNUT FOR PRESIDENT *** :-p

55 housecat 03.23.07 at 5:36 am

I hope my neighbor across the hall can’t hear my insane squealing. Seriously. These Knut videos are gonna make me keel over. I can’t stop making stoopid noises. Must….hold….Knut….

56 Kendally 03.23.07 at 5:40 am

I WANT EEEEET!

57 Gillian 03.23.07 at 8:45 am

OMG. I saw this on like, the Colbert report or something the other day, and it was so cute, I burst into tears.

And my parents stared at me like I had something growing out of my face.

58 jackie31337 03.23.07 at 9:01 am

Teri: I have a big teddy bear that looks just like Knut that I got when I was a kid. Some department store (Hecht’s? Macy’s?) had them as Christmas promos the year Klondike and Snow were born. It came with a matching hat and scarf, which I took off the better to snorgle it, and I named it Mr. Bear. Mr. Bear came to college with me, but when I moved to Finland he stayed behind at my parents’ house. I’m thinking about brining him back with me on my next trip.

NTMTOM: If you’re Captain Cryptic, I guess that makes me your arch-nemesis, because I’m Captain Obvious.

59 Not That Mike The Other Mike 03.23.07 at 9:32 am

Well, of COURSE you’re Captain Obvious — I could see that right away. It’s so … so … ummm …

OK, *ONE* more. This is a Knut update (and perhaps CNN atoning for a bit of sensationalism)…

64 pyrit 03.23.07 at 1:24 pm

(Scream) Captain Cryptic’s comments are obvious to me! Quick, I need Krypticonite!

65 Theo 03.23.07 at 2:26 pm

Wasn’t that a Neal Stephenson book?

66 pyrit 03.23.07 at 2:44 pm

See now, Theo, this here, this!
This is why your career designing paper towel prints never took off!

67 chawal 03.23.07 at 2:53 pm

Knut made his public debut today – with crowds of journalists. The Spiegel (German magazine) posted amazing photos:
http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/0,5538,20321,00.html

68 fat tabby 03.23.07 at 3:08 pm

I can’t take this anymore, I feel like someone is squeezing my heart to near bursting cuz of the vulnerable cuteness. And the pictures that he’s reaching up for at the end.. I had to hold my breath for awhile to keep from bawling my eyes out. hehe

69 Theo 03.23.07 at 3:40 pm

Pyrit — OK, it’s working. You’re safe.

BLANKIE!?!?!?!?!????!!!!12@1!

*’splodes as well*

And yes, I firmly believe the title needs to be changed. I am alive today thanks in large part to Knut. “So cute you have a reason to live.”

73 mike 03.23.07 at 9:37 pm

LEAVE MY BLANKIE ALONE!!

75 tblue 03.23.07 at 10:48 pm

It’s cute that he is already strong enough to be giving his daddy some bruises. That’s funny. It’s a bit sad, too, though, because it means that very soon they will have to not cuddle and play together any more.

76 browngrl 03.23.07 at 11:44 pm

Who is this wacko “environmentalist” who wants to kill this sweet baby bear and has anyone slapped him upside his head for even suggesting that this darling does not deserve to live?

77 ansgar 03.24.07 at 2:53 pm

What about the horrible horrible music? I could hardly think about anything less fitting..

78 Namida 03.26.07 at 12:33 am

That 45 Minutes long german TV-Special about the first weeks in Knuts life is going to be released on DVD soon ^^.
Yay ^^
Next week i’m going to the berlin zoo to see this little cutie^^
Yay for living in Germany ^^

79 Spikedcolor 03.26.07 at 5:14 am

I agree with ansgar:
Best Week Ever
Best Cub Ever
Worst Soundtrack Ever

80 Spade 03.26.07 at 7:58 am

Istn’t he the sweetest?
A little info on the “They’ll kill Knut!!!!!” frenzy: no animal rights activist has ever demanded that Knut should be killed.
That is a fabricated story by “Bild”, the worst newsrag in Germany.
The fact of the matter is that Mr. Albrecht had sued the Leipzig zoo, where a similar case took place with a different outcome: a sloth bear cub that had been rejected by its mother was put down. The public prosecuters didn’t accept his proceedings, saying that raising a bear cub by hand was unnatural and cruel, and Mr. Albrecht merely quoted this remark and said, according to this logic, the hand raising of Knut would also be an example of cruelty to an animal. He never demanded for any bear to be killed in the first place, though.
That is all there is to it.
There is an article in the FAZ newspaper (in German) under the date of March 21 (www.faz.net). Search for Knut and read all about it.

81 simber 03.27.07 at 11:39 pm

Please, could someone, anyone register knutoverload.com and stop calling him an unusual animal and just devote an entire subsite to him?

82 Theo 03.28.07 at 12:14 am
83 Rebecca 03.29.07 at 2:42 pm

knut has driven me insane, all i do is watch videos of him and talk about him all day long. his little noises! and he is so naughty/good. i love knut, i love his name and i love his face and body <3

84 francesca 04.03.07 at 6:17 am
