This vid needs to be remade with the Jaws soundtrack and Chewbacca yell at the end

by Meg on September 19, 2007

Call me a video-directing genius, because that’s what this video needs.

[Holding hands up in Directorial debut position] Panic—then Chewbacca yell. Yes, that’s what this video needs.

Serious. With those changes, it’ll be like the next Prairie Dog video thing, believe me.

AAAAAAAAHHHHH! What is under the cubbers!?!?! HALP! Isabel C.!

// UPDATE — thank you, Dramatic Prairie Dog! //

The look at the end was priceless…”WTF you lookin’ at??”

6 luvinmalssomuch 09.19.07 at 1:18 pm

The look at the end is priceless. I was on pins and needles waiting to see what was under the spread.

7 jen 09.19.07 at 1:20 pm

i love the expression at the end.

I suggest a new strategy, Let the wookie win..

15 curious 09.19.07 at 1:56 pm

An Ewok!

16 Dramatic Prairie Dog 09.19.07 at 2:04 pm

It’s actually a prairie dog… :)

17 leah b. 09.19.07 at 2:05 pm

I have been soooo freaking torked off since yesterday afternoon and nothing I mean nothing was making me even smile even my fur-kids. But that little pooch got a good laugh outta me !! Thanks MEg I needed that

18 jenn 09.19.07 at 2:08 pm

Does anyone know what breed of dog that is? So cute. I’m thinking Brussels Griffon or affenpinscher but not sure

19 Catherine 09.19.07 at 2:16 pm

Yeah, but, but what went out first? It looked like a SKUNK!!!!

20 Theo 09.19.07 at 2:17 pm

Jamie M — I think “accurage” could be a pretty appropriate typo, actually. ;)

21 Sheenanana 09.19.07 at 2:21 pm

Hahaha, the dog’s name is Chewie!!
This video of her is awesome:

22 Matt Robinson 09.19.07 at 2:22 pm

agreed with above it definitely is an Ewok

23 Theo 09.19.07 at 2:35 pm

OK OK OK… so a *soprano* Chewbacca yell, then. Heh.

24 Lisa 09.19.07 at 2:39 pm

When I was checking out the youtube vid posted by Sheenanana, I happened across this ANERABLE baby griffon named Alfie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jktf9-KShP0

He’s all “ehn…ehn!”

25 Dramatic Prairie Dog 09.19.07 at 3:06 pm

Ok, Meg, your wish is my command.. here is my silly attempt:

[w00t! Muchas gracias... - Ed.]

26 Alice Shortcake 09.19.07 at 3:16 pm

I was expecting something bigger!

27 nic 09.19.07 at 3:22 pm

That was both funny and cute at the same time. It reminds me of my grandmas shitsu.

28 Desdemona 09.19.07 at 3:27 pm

Whew! I went to the link that Lisa posted and now I’m exhausted. This pup never stops moving! Where’s the Ritalin???

29 liz 09.19.07 at 3:27 pm

my pommie likes to do this too.
Chewie is just the cutest lil guy! what a fun puppeh.

30 llamas 09.19.07 at 3:36 pm

*glances to the right*
What is a Twitter, and why is Wil Wheaton on it? I’m having flashbacks to my 8th grade fangirl days.

31 Rebecca 09.19.07 at 3:41 pm

After watching a ton of animal videos on YouTube, I am amazed at how many beds are unmade out there. I’m beginning to think that by making my bed in the morning, I might be in the minority.

32 Theo 09.19.07 at 3:43 pm

Rebecca — those of us with animals understand the futility of tidy habits. ;)

33 Kara 09.19.07 at 3:56 pm

The look on its face … ‘Oh, come on, like YOU’VE never gotten tangled up in your sheets before.’

34 Kristina 09.19.07 at 4:03 pm

yup, definitely funnier with the sound fx. hysterical, really. :) nice job, dramatic prarie dog.

35 Pheas 09.19.07 at 4:07 pm

Rebecca, I’m with you. I’d rather keep the majority of the cat hair on the comforter and not on my pillow.

36 Isabel C 09.19.07 at 4:10 pm
37 Meg 09.19.07 at 4:10 pm

OMG!

DPD!

That was WONDERFUL!!!

I was just howling with laughter!!! You did a SWEET job—the buildup! The reveal! Hilarious!

THANK YOU!

-Meg

38 Isabel C 09.19.07 at 4:13 pm

Thanks for the brilliant suggestion! This happens often to freelancers who work from home often to the wee hours of the morning…

39 Theo 09.19.07 at 4:43 pm

Whoa, two versions now! Cheers, Isabel C!

40 Theo 09.19.07 at 4:44 pm

(…can we get THREE? Anyone??)

41 berthaslave 09.19.07 at 4:46 pm

Kudos all around … but seriously … was that ewokookie chasing a skunk out of the bed?

42 Rebecca 09.19.07 at 4:48 pm

P.S. I do have an animal–an adorable rat terrier named Carlos–but he has a tendency to throw up on the bed/couch/chair when he throws up, so we keep an easy to wash blanket covering our sheets/comforter. That way, we don’t find any nasty surprises when we go to bed. That said, we still like our bed made each morning!

43 Noelle 09.19.07 at 4:53 pm

I love this site! This video was so great, and the sound effects make it even better! Laugh it up, Fuzzball.

44 Space Cowgirl 09.19.07 at 5:05 pm

After reading Meg’s suggested additions, I thought I would just die if someone didn’t make it so. MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE! Thank you, CO and DPD. :)

Rebecca, in your case I’d say making the bed is a safety measure – I’d hate to find puke between nice clean sheets.

45 Theo 09.19.07 at 5:23 pm

Space Cowgirl — don’t forget the author’s own version! (Isabel C; link upthread)

46 Beth 09.19.07 at 5:23 pm

Ha ha! I love the update! I love playing that game with my kitties!

[I better not tell you how I misread your comment... - Ed.]

47 Space Cowgirl 09.19.07 at 5:36 pm

Sorry, I missed that completely! Thank you, Theo and Isabel C. :)

48 Isabel C 09.19.07 at 5:46 pm

:-)

49 JenL 09.19.07 at 5:46 pm

OMG the update with music and Chewbacca is AWESOME!

50 weensicka 09.19.07 at 5:50 pm

Dramatic Prairie Dog, I bow to thee!!

Best…video…evar!

51 Katzndogz 09.19.07 at 6:32 pm

The puppy dawg is cute, but I musssst have the comforter. Pleeeease???

[That *is* pretty nice... - Ed.]

52 krikri 09.19.07 at 8:24 pm

I LOL’d!

53 book_monstercats@msn.com 09.19.07 at 8:59 pm

I liked the quilt as well. I thought it was a ball-pit at first. I want one.

54 Theo 09.19.07 at 9:32 pm

Ooh, now THERE’D be a video to see… pit bull in a ball pit!

55 lurkertype 09.19.07 at 9:46 pm

Dramatic Prairie Dog, we’re not worthy.

That was PERFECT editing! Made it twice as funny.

56 Isabel C. 09.19.07 at 11:44 pm

The very, very comfortable and one-of-a-kind quilt was made and designed by Mary Jane Suruda, my boyfriend’s mom! All the little squares are actually stuffed with puffy cotton. She’s a super talented interior decorator too.

57 Mega 09.20.07 at 2:12 am

It looks like the Horta from the Star Trek epi “Devil in the Dark.”

58 jenjen 09.20.07 at 3:32 am

Loved the soundtrack version, except instead of a Chewbacca yell, I’d like to hear a squeezy toy when the “reveal” comes. EE-ee, EE-ee.

59 Dramatic Prairie Dog 09.20.07 at 7:00 am

Meg, thanks for the plug! Glad you liked the video! love that little bugger!

60 gooeyctr 09.20.07 at 9:49 am

Dramatic Prairie Dog, your videos rule. The original DPD vid made me laugh, but this one made my head explode.

And Meg, your imagination is the mother of invention!

61 luvinmalssomuch 09.20.07 at 2:06 pm

Luv the updated video. Hysterical!! BRAVO!!!

62 Stephen 09.20.07 at 4:26 pm

Dear CuteOverloadMeg, I am a HUGE fan. really. But one thing — this whole thing how the URL in the browser stays on “cuteoverload.com” is driving me CRAZY. I clicked to the Dramatic Chipmunk link in this post, and i’m stuck with the generic “cuteoverload.com” url in my browser and CANNOT send it to someone. I know you are a lovely person, but why is this so? WHY?! (the commenter snorgles the closest puppy)

63 Theo 09.20.07 at 10:07 pm

Stephen — you could always open any given link in a new window, or a new tab. Usually it’s one of the options that pops up when you right-click on a link (assuming you’re on a PC, not a Mac).

Also, the “backdoor” (TypePad standard URL for Cute Overload, as opposed to the nicely formatted “www.cuteoverload.com” version) is this:
http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/

64 Stephen 09.21.07 at 2:48 am

Oh YAY! Thank you so much! (moving bunneh from keyboard)

65 Mad Molly Malone 09.21.07 at 11:05 pm

This goes with “When Kittehs Attack.”
CHEWBACCA BLEEN!

66 Fallon 09.25.07 at 11:37 pm

I want a pet woookiiiiiiie he’s so cute!
