Oooh!! I want to resize it and use it as a livejournal icon!! A DRAMATIC livejournal icon!

3 For the love of jauntiness 06.05.07 at 3:52 pm

Awww…so cutely dramatic. I love this little guy, especially his tiny haunches. Jaunty!

4 brinnann 06.05.07 at 3:57 pm

Wow. Instead of I Shall Leeck You, he looks like he saying I Shall Keel You.

5 Kathryn 06.05.07 at 3:58 pm

Well described- So perfect- So 80s soap opera. Love his eyes. And the camera work, of course.

6 Lioness 06.05.07 at 4:00 pm

Ah-hahahahah….that was soo funny!

7 Geo 06.05.07 at 4:09 pm

I’ve watched this 10 times and can’t stop laughing!

8 Shannon Johnson 06.05.07 at 4:11 pm

I love it. Looks could kill with that little guy.

14 One Eyed Daruma 06.05.07 at 4:52 pm

Mr. “What did you just say to me?!?!?” is now the screensaver on my cell phone!

15 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 06.05.07 at 4:52 pm

All this time you thought I was your father, but it really is….Dramatic music role credits.

16 meacu1pa 06.05.07 at 4:55 pm

I can just see him with a little cape where he swooshes it up over his nose. Vampyre bat?? NO…I am the seductive vampyre go-fer.

How DARE you offend my go-fer sensibilities! -=waggles eyebrows and wriggles nose=-

17 lottebelice 06.05.07 at 4:59 pm

I would like to see a whole telenovela with gophers.

Gopher: “What is my motivation?”

Director gopher: “Gopherella is in a coma after an accident involving a nut and doesn’t remember anything.”

18 marmar 06.05.07 at 5:18 pm

so perf

20 jen 06.05.07 at 5:39 pm

i keep looking at this clip. its too funny! kudos to the person who shot this- zooming in just at the right moment to feel the full dramatic impact.

i keep hearing the stabbing violin music from the shower scene in psycho.

21 AmyH 06.05.07 at 5:46 pm

LOL! I can’t get enough of Senior Gopherto. Total telenova action. I don’t speak Spanish but I’m irresistibly drawn to those shows.

22 liz 06.05.07 at 5:49 pm

AmyH
totally agree,
I flip around the cable and find myself staring at the spanish speaking channels like a car wreck, you just cant look away!
and Senior Gopher reminds me of those hideous soaps where the offended party turns suddenly and the music rises “DADADA DAHHHHH”
hilarious! his little lips are pursed just right for offended-ness.

23 violetgreen 06.05.07 at 6:05 pm

Kinda looks like a prairie dog. But I’ll call him whatever he wants after that GLARE!

24 ShelleyTambo 06.05.07 at 6:11 pm

He sorta looks like he’s doing what Joey Tribbiani would call “smelling the fart” acting.

25 meacu1pa 06.05.07 at 6:13 pm

This is the look that every father would give when the daughter cries, “but daddy…i luf eem!”

26 brinnann 06.05.07 at 6:27 pm

Dazie, LOVE the caption on that vid!

27 syd 06.05.07 at 6:27 pm

That gopher is kinda creeping me out.

28 Petr 06.05.07 at 6:31 pm

Looks like Thriller to me.

29 soulcal006 06.05.07 at 6:33 pm

is it me or does it sorta look like Alfred Hitchcock?

30 RKEM 06.05.07 at 6:41 pm

O RLY …

31 luvinmalssomuch 06.05.07 at 6:41 pm

BOOYAH!

32 Trisha 06.05.07 at 6:45 pm

there is something very Austin Powers about this!

33 Tessa 06.05.07 at 6:52 pm

Another quote from him could be: “Well, I guess the look I’m best known for is Blue Steel.”

34 lurkertype 06.05.07 at 6:55 pm

He is absolutely a telenovela star.

I want to see a novela starring gophers, groundhogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, and any other rodent-like things beginning with ‘g’ (or any other letter).

DIOS MIO!

35 annie 06.05.07 at 7:01 pm

I will Pierce you with my steely gaze. How Dare you triffle with My Daughters Heart.

36 Tracyflick 06.05.07 at 7:17 pm

If they made Spanish TeleNovells all with animals (THINK: Disapproving Rabbits, Kittehs, Squarrels) I would so watch it. Think of the voice overs, and the interspecies snorgling.

Hamster wife (to husband) Aye! Mia! I caught you inter-snorgling with a kitteh!

Hamster husband shurgs.

The Drama.

37 Kaye 06.05.07 at 7:30 pm

This is a cropped version.. There’s a bigger version being passed around the internet with subtitles at the bottom, calling this guy a prairie dog. I don’t think it’s a gopher..
[/slight nuff]

But I can’t stop laughing. It’s even better if you imagine “DUN DUN DUNNN” music playing in the background.

38 ali 06.05.07 at 7:34 pm

just…can’t….stop…..laughing….

39 Kaye 06.05.07 at 7:35 pm

Like zees.

40 hananza 06.05.07 at 7:57 pm

Dazie – the Church Lady caps are so on the money, honey!

41 zeroKFE 06.05.07 at 8:14 pm

Someone very much needs to make a YTMND matching this gif to audio from the Church Lady.

42 GinMega 06.05.07 at 8:23 pm

I agree with violet, I think it’s a prairie dog.

Cute nonetheless.

43 Theresa 06.05.07 at 8:26 pm

How dramatics! It needs a dramatics soundtrack.

44 musicchick2 06.05.07 at 8:36 pm

You just said WHAT about my mother??!!??

45 beenclawed 06.05.07 at 8:52 pm

This li’l guy has stolen C.O. today! The more I look the funnier it gets. Talk about the evil eye – WOAH!

46 bats :[ 06.05.07 at 8:59 pm

Cripes! Gloria Swanson reincarnated!

47 DKN 06.05.07 at 9:23 pm

SO Telemundo.

48 mlle_x 06.05.07 at 9:43 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*gasp*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

49 AlbertaGirl 06.05.07 at 10:11 pm

I clicked on this. AT WORK. My coworkers thought I was crying because I was face down on my desk, shaking, trying to keep the laughter inside! LOL, thanks Meg.

50 lurkertype 06.05.07 at 10:33 pm

El Perro del Prairie es muy bueno.

Somewhere on YouTube, there must be animal telenovelas.

51 R. Moore 06.05.07 at 11:03 pm

Bwa ha ha ha!

I remember years of sitting at Grandma-Nana’s house watching telenovelas out of sheer boredom. Then one day we were eating at a Central American place, happily munching at papusas (still can’t spell that), and looked up at the television. The devious mastermind was going to drown two people by staking down a net at low tide with them beneath it. As the tide rose, they would slowly drown. Except that looking at it, you could see they could get up. Meanwhile, a chick pushed another chick down the stairs (again!) and something about a university professor… I don’t know. Mom giggled even more than I did knowing what they were saying.

52 Corona 06.06.07 at 12:01 am

I half expected an organ cue. Funny clip!

53 kit kat 06.06.07 at 12:25 am

bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

54 Subhangi 06.06.07 at 4:21 am

LOL! Anybody else hear Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo singing “Dos Gardenias” while gophamster looks so lovelorn?

55 Diane 06.06.07 at 5:17 am

I think I’ll be chuckling for some time after this one. I love rodents, the more dramatic the better!

56 Dale 06.06.07 at 6:56 am

Okay, for the Spanish speakers out there:

Amores Perros (de Pradera)

Con Greta Jerbo, Mar Mota, Antonio Banderas (¨El Zorro¨), y Alejandro Jodorowsky (¨El Topo¨).

!Esta vez, verá mucho más que su sombra!

57 Kristina Taylor 06.06.07 at 7:37 am

There were hundreds of these turning and glaring around Myspace last week when the Flaming Lips asked all their friends to change their defualt picture. I just knew it would make it on here, eventually!

58 magnets 06.06.07 at 12:14 pm

I put sound on it.
cos lets face it, it needed this!

59 Tarah 06.06.07 at 1:22 pm

Hee! I love it! I can’t stop watching it!

60 Tor 06.06.07 at 4:59 pm

Oh for the love of non-ironic melodrama! Sensationalism for all!

61 Kritter 06.06.07 at 5:07 pm

Not a gopher–prairie dog.

62 Alice Shortcake 06.06.07 at 5:54 pm

A masterclass in the art of Coarse Acting

63 Leslie Evans 06.06.07 at 5:56 pm

Oh my god, I can’t stop laughing. Too funny.

64 zaferina 06.06.07 at 7:37 pm

This is addictive….the more you watch the funnier it gets!

“No Columbo, you will never prove me guilty……NEVER!

“no, not hungry thanks…….AH! Peanut Butter AND Nutella you say?”

65 wolfwhocriedboy 06.06.07 at 7:44 pm

“I call this one Blue STEEL”

ROTF

66 lu-lu 06.06.07 at 9:31 pm

BEWARE THE GOPHER GLARE tm!!!!!!

67 Jem 06.06.07 at 10:18 pm

How funny is he, it’s like something out of Dallas! Does anyone know how I can make this a profile pic that moves? Always wanted one of them, and this’ll be the best one ever!

68 Beauregard 06.06.07 at 11:16 pm

Oh my Godz, yo!!! My submission made it!!! Woo! Go me!

69 Theo 06.06.07 at 11:53 pm

so it looks like the H in “Lizzy H.” stands for… Beauregard

70 Beauregard 06.07.07 at 4:47 am

Well, the H is silent you see, so sometimes it gets anglicized. Yeah, that’s it.

71 trish 06.07.07 at 3:26 pm

I found it funny the first time.. but yea, the more I watch it.. the funnier it gets!!

72 Baden's Mom 06.07.07 at 4:42 pm

Trish – I totally agree. I’ve been re-watching it since it was posted.

73 fat lab love 06.07.07 at 8:26 pm

i couldn’t stop laughing

74 guineapiggin9 06.11.07 at 12:40 am

My guinea pigs give me almost the same look when I disrupt them from eating!! LOL!
