GiggleSugar is getting in on the ‘Tock action with this hilarious hammie post. And because Freddy Mercury is singing, you MUST CRANK EET. [It's mandatory] The very very last bit is the best part IMHO.
Veronica H., you can forward urls with the best of ‘em.

Great soundtrack! That’s a ham with a mission! Too cute : )
Wee little hammy wants to get through the door soooo bad!
I hope whatever he found on the other side was worth the effort.
*FLAIL!!!*
Hahahaha, great video. Great Queen song. Crazy hamster.
So freaking funny!! Perfect soundtrack.
that is one determined ham! was he concerned that his blankie would stay in the dryer too long?
Agh! Floor so sleeperees! Keep trying, little ham, you’ll get it. What the heck was he trying to get anyway?
As soon as Freddie started singing, my cat came shooting through the room! Guess she’s a Queen fan
Tears are running down my face from laughing, I really, REALLY needed that today. Bless that little ham.
It’s so cute and funny!
Not only is Mr. Hammie McHamstertocks cute, but he has great taste in music, too! Rock on, little dude! W00t!
Very cute hamster! If only my computer had sound right now…!
What in heaven’s name does that the ham want so badly? Poor little bit was probably exhausted after all that work.
Oh yes! What splendid fun to watch the little fellow try & try to open the door but continue to fail! Soo funny! Gee, I wonder how the little critter actually felt. But who cares? It’s just cute as the dickens, and that’s what we’re after. How about some more pics of cats where they don’t wanna be, like in a boat or some other moving vehicle? LOL, what fun!
Sorry for the philosophical schmaltz but…Sometimes we’re so determined to get in the hard way, we can’t see that the door’s already open? ["ehhhnnnnn..."]
What a great song! How perfect with the frantic scrabbling! “Don’t stop me! Don’t stop me! DON’T STOP ME NOOWW!!!” I gotta get me that mp3 so I can do my own happy dance
Sure did take FOREVER to load tho…
If that hammy keeps that up, he’ll soon be thin enough to crawl through.
I love the way he paws so hard he falls over.
Jack: get bent.
Hamster = hilarious. Flailing tocks are definitely a signature hamster move. I just hope they were making sure not to adjust the door while he was burrowing and accidentally smush McHamsterTocks! :-X
my fave part is when he decides that, as important as his task is, it’s time to wash his face. makes sense!
best post in ages! hammie go for it!
Awww..you gonna take me home tonight
Awww..down beside that red fire light..
Awww…and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed hamster
You make the rockin’ world go round.
Gosh, Bird-o-Paradise, why the harsh (and also eloquent, I must say) rejoinder? You yourself seem to be worried that them lil’ cutie-wootie “McHamster tocks” might get cwushed. Awww, wouldn’t that be sad? But hey, it’d be worf it, cuz this is all about the pipple, not the animules! Weezies just wanna laff till the tears roll down our facies, right? I’m with you, birdie-wirdie. Frustrated hamsters are soooo cute!
Oohhh, a hamster-troll! Anyways, cute little hamster on a mission. It gives him a goal. We all need goals, right? Even Jack the Hamster Troll!
Hmmm…is that hammie a zombie? Is this set at the Winchester?
Hammie (a la Jonathan Coulton): “All we wanna do is gnom yer brains!”
Wait, I didn’t really write that in appropriate cute phonetics. That should be,
Hammie (a la Jonathan Coulton): “All we wanna do is nawm yer brains!”
omg!!!!! that is my absolute fave Queen song – I’m bouncing all over the place here – makes me wanna drive fassssssst!
I’m worried for the hammie though, that he’ll get all worn out working that hard… do love the face cleaning!
don’t stop me – don’t stop me – don’t stop me zzzzzzzzzzooooooooooooommmmmm
“Gonna make a super-sonic HAM outa you…”
Freddy would approve, I think.
I think Jack is suggesting that we would laugh even harder if the little fuzz-nugget got smooshed by the door, ban his IP.
I was worried about squishage myself – but not a lot… and didn’t wanna nuff.
I’m going right now to take the family to look at a rat – yes a rat, to see if I can convince them that a rat is a good pet.
Jack, as someone who owns a hamster, I’ve seen mine dig for 20 minutes at nothing. Bless them, they’re cte, but sadly, they just don’t lack the reasoning we do to understand frustration. Digging and trying to get through objects like that, well, that’s their JOB. And they like it.
For anyone who’s ever owned a hamster, that was dang entertaining. The little nubbins can go for hours digging and flailing at something.
Thanks for the videos and thanks for the laffs, you drama-mongers. Seeeriously.
Amanda, as a ham owner you got cred, so I bow to your knowledge, even though I still think the video is kinda mean…Tamara, ban YOUR IP until you learn to recognize sarcasm.
If at first you don’t succeed, try,try, again. Or in this case, try try,try,try,try……
LMAO. That is one determined feisty little blob!
As a former ham owner, I laughed until I cried. Schadenfreude (is that the right spelling?)!! Thinking about all the time I spent searching for missing hams (they all turned up safe and well, if dusty) who’d burrowed with as much detrmination into obscure places and in one case, managed to lift their cage off it’s base to get out from under it.
I’m a hamster troll, Martha? Well, it IS funny. I’ll take it and like it.
OPEN DEE DAMN DOOR!!!
DOOOO EEEET NOW !!!
inininininnnnnn! IN! ININININININNNNN!!!! This way? This way? This way?
lol. This was too cute. So funny.
good laud in heaven.
can’t we all just get along?
maybe it’s the flu talking, but i was seriously feeling quite anxious about that poor hammie not being able to get that dang door open!
Who’s not getting along, Liz? I’m right, and everyone who disagrees with me is an evil hamster abuser. Simple as that. And see? Even circus cake fought thru her flu to post her anxiety over poor mr. hammie’s door trouble.
Look, kids, I don’t mean to sound over-curmudgeonly, but don’t we want our pets to be free of anxiety & suffering? Dressing my dog in a babushka & granny glasses (which I once did) for a photo-op has not caused me to lose any sleep. But if my critter was frantically trying to get somewhere, I would put down the videocam & open the damn door. But this really is a tempest in a teapot, so I’ll shut up now & move on.
That is one determined hammy!
Um…does anyone else notice that the door *is* open? That or that is the most angular and improperly installed doorway I’ve ever seen. And that the videographer actually opens it a bit further around 1:40?
I’ll defer to the Ham owners on this one and second that this is a Ham being a Ham (pun intended), and save my anxieties for other things, like, oh, the fact that my sister’s husband is serving in Iraq.
Ok, that is the busiest butt in Hamsterdom. You go, little hammie, Freddie will give you the extra push you need!
Did the hammie poo a little? I swear I saw hammie poop!
Yeah, I’d think that was cute if uninvited mice weren’t using the same sort of tactics to (successfully) enter my apartment.
Ya know, I was starting to feel ‘up’ (having been ‘down’ most of today, just woke up like that, it happens) after watching this vid and some of the funny comments here, but dang Jack, you know how to bring folks crashing back down into the dumps again. Thanks, cause ya know, didn’t want to giggle and smile after all.
I’m kinda new to the site, (which I love). Among other fabulous things, I like the organization of the categories, so I’m wondering why there isn’t a ‘tocks category. They are some of the cutest and funniest and it would be handy to have them collected.
squee! great music and tocks!

who said i was talkin to you jack?
i couldnt care less what you’re babbling about.
Thought you had a sense of humor, liz, but I was mistaken. Anything I might say has more worth than your “DOO EEET” cutie-pie garbage. Dang, Monty, I didn’t mean to take away your giggles. Wait for liz’s next post & I’m sure you’ll have someting to laff about, although it’s not nice to make fun of thimblebrains.
Doot de doo, diddly doodly doo… no patience for people acting like @$$holes today… doot de phwee tee doo… so if you want to have your own little internet flame war, perhaps you’d have the courtesy to do it on your *own* blog… tiddly-pum.
Jack, what the heck is your issue? Are you just here to prove yourself superior to the rest of us or something? Every time you comment I loose a little joy in life.
Once there was a silly old ham…
…Cause he had HIIIIGH HOPES. He’s got HIIIGH HOPES. He’s got high apple pie in the skyyyyy hopes! So when you get to feeling bad, ’stead of feeling sad, just remember that ham!
OOPS there goes another…
Haha, too cute! That hammie was rather determined – I’m glad he made it through! The soundtrack was perfectly suited!
Determined little guy.
My ferrets are sometimes that determined to burrow under the closet door. I don’t know why they feel they need to get in there, but they’ll be scratching away for a couple minutes.
Heelarious!
I wonder what’s back there that Hammypants wants? Is that a door? I thought he was trying to get under the fridge or the stove or something.
oh, no! my comment has been used to promote naughty commenting!
i never thought hammie was being tortured- i was just projecting my frustration at being sick onto his inability to figure out how to get thru that pesky door. i mean- i kinda assume they’re like dogs who love to dig.
thankfully, it had a very happy ending and hammie got an excellent workout.
Phew! I sure am glad he made it. That could have went horribly wrong if someone opened the door from the other side. I wish I could let MY hammie out of his rolly ball and let him run around and dig and stuff but I think my cat might object to that.. Unfortunatly she does not tolerate her rodent brother very well.
weensicka: That song made me think of Shaun of the Dead as well. Awesome movie, btw. =)
And such a cute and determined little hammie! Not too bright though. =P
i luvre all you guyzze.
smootchies to you and yrs.
you bring a tear to my IIIZe.
theo XXX OOO
i am so sad…
tomorrow is another dayyyyyy.
lookin forward to EEETTTT.
bah ha ha!!!
luvin you-all!!!!
Animal frustration/determination is funny to most of us. There’s no way around it! Remember, animal brains work differently than ours; they live in the moment. They aren’t going to feel frustration quite the same way. What about the cat chasing the dot of light from a laser pointer, and never catching it? My cats certainly look like they are having a good time when they are chasing something like that! For that matter, what about hammies on a wheel? Running in endless circles?
To me, this hammie is getting to do something stimulating and challenging. Better that than just sitting on his fat little hammie ‘tocks all day.
Oh, and Jack? You’re being a classic, confrontational troll, which was quickly and appropriately recognized. This group has had a lot of practice at spotting them. Having said that much, I shall henceforth ignore the entire matter, and go pet my cats.
I love the hovertext with this one… this has got to be one of the longest, best-sustained “EEEEEHHHHNS” ever caught on video.
Made me want a hamster.
I absolutely love this Queen song (Freddie rulez!) but this little hamster is so cute with his mission. Love it!
I find this incredibly disturbing.
Not that determined, wonderful hammie, but this music.
“I’m a sex machine ready to reload!” That’s not even mentioning that overly suggestive bridge….
Even Freddie Mercury can’t pull off those lyrics.
long time hammie owner myself and – no, no frustration there. Just typical, tactical hammish evil (just ask Colbert!). In our life if we plow at something long enough we don’t always make it through. Those hams – they know if they’re cute enough and do it long enough, owner’s going to get done laughing and come set the world straight. Just ask my fuzz balls – they get away with murder when they’re being cute. After this video THEY’LL want soundtracks too though.
Now my hamtar is jealous and wants her own theme song!
Right, Kar, because sex is horrible and dirty and should never, ever be sung about. *rolls eyes*
The hamster is adorable, and the combination of fuzzy hamster with Queen is awesome.
This guy makes the best hammie videos.
I submitted this one to CO a loooonnnnng time ago, but it wasn’t accepted. *sniff*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfqNXADl3kU
OMG!!! What a blobbulous little example of perseverance! I lubs heem!
This hade me laugh soo much, this litte guy just wont give up!
But at the same time it made me a bit uncomdfortable; I was a little scared for the hammie, half expecting someone could close or open the door from the other side.
Queen AND frantic hammie? This video is EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!
Jack, hon, have you discussed your curmudgeon tendencies with your physician? You really should, you know. Perhaps you, too, might benefit from the wonders of modern pharmacology…..
Dreamspinner Cheryl, R.N.
a ham, a plan, a panel, haha!
I’m sure Freddy is Up There smiling his face off with the rest of us!
I am always saddened when, after laughing out loud at some photo, or reading a really interesting article or something, I then read the comments and am totally brought down by the nastiness. Offering an opposing viewpoint is great, but it is not necessary to be nasty.
I usually don’t read the comments anymore, but then I don’t get to share in the dialogue.
A shame.
This hammy reminded me of my own Hammy and Gerbie who would dig at the corners of their cages for long minutes at a time until they tuckered out, for nothing more than the thrill of trying to escape! Great laughs.
HEhehehehe such a determined Ham… go hammy go you can get through the crack..and OMG one of my kitties is a Queen Fancat or she just loves Freddy Mercury’s Voice.. or perhaps the lyrics appeal to her siamese need to always be on the go ; )
blair — nice!
I thought it was freakin’ hilarious! I was laughing so hard I had tears down my face. And yes I noticed the videographer was trying to HELP the little guy out by opening the crack in the door wider!! But you know hammies, when they get their mind set on something, THEY CONTINUE TIL THEY WIN!! Just like showing the door at the end and the little guy goes through THE CRACK instead of the WIDE OPEN part! DUUUH!
This is hilarious and I AM A HUGE HUGE HUGE QUEEN LOVER!
BTW I sent it on to Brian May’s website.
lol! Aww, sweet little hammie ham, wrong end of the door, little one!! But go on, you’re so determined! You can do it, you can do it!
LOL The little butt, what an absolutely funny one!! I love this video! Sooo cute, must watch again! Hahaha!
*Cheers* Go, go, go, little hammie! There’s no stopping you!
LOL @ FLAIL comment 8D
Yes, I admit it; I enjoy getting a rise out of saps (ncluding Queen of the saps, Theo…Hi, Theo!). But that’s my problem. Why feed my pathology by piling on in hysterics? Just ignore me & go on to the next pic or vid of teeny widdle animules in distress & torment, and waff until the tearies woll down your facies.
Jeez, people, have some humor. This is a wonderful site & I’m sorry I couldn’t resist the sarcasm. But I still think it’s WRONG to put leashes on cats or make them ride in cars for the amusement of humans. Oh, and I admit I was probably wrong about the hamster. Maybe he WAS having a blast. Never owned a hamster, so what do I know. When I saw the pic of the cat in diapers, I thought it was cruel to keep it alive with an incontinence problem, but then I read the posts, and finally the words of its owner who had been forced to put her beloved pet down, and I came to a greater understanding of the situation. Out of respect for all the sweet & sane animal lovers who cherish this site, I will now recede into the shadows. May I go in peace?
Another hamster owner here (well, my sister owns it, I just help to look after it) popping in to say that things like this aren’t any sign of distress in a hamster. That’s why they spend so long running repeatedly around on a wheel or going in circles in a ball. They’re just easy to amuse and slow to give up. What looks irritating to us is a good hour’s entertainment for a hamster.
In fact, my sister’s hamster has a wheel that not only spins around on its axis but moves around a circular track as well, and sometimes it gets stuck at one place on the track, resulting in the hamster tirelessly running on the spot. Sometimes I take pity on him and move his wheel to get it in motion again, but he always stops running then and goes back to bed. I think he just likes the challenge.
Freddie Mercury is my queen!!!!! but I just don’t ‘get’ the video. guess I’m not a hamster person.
“When I saw the pic of the cat in diapers, I thought it was cruel to keep it alive with an incontinence problem…”
What about humans who have incontinence problems? I have severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome myself and some days are so bad I really ought to wear diapers but my pride precludes it. Should I be put to sleep?
I dunno Meaghan, do you purr and have a cute tail? (wink-wink)
I’m wishing there were special diapers for diarrhea of the mouth. Yanno?
A lot of sass going on in here.
Hello Agent Ham, come in Agent Ham, this is Headquarters. If you should be captured during your mission do everything you can to escape! Do not give up! I repeat, do not give up!
LMAO – not so much at the door scrabbling, but you guys HAFTA watch the video from the same guy with the piano and the popcorn. But nuffs – BE WARNED – the little guy does fall off the piano….straight in to the hand of his vigilant human. But Qte as all get out
Hahah, the part where he’s diggin away and then stops and washes himself, it is like, “The guards are comin’ act natural!”
It’s not the sexual overtones of the music that’s gross, it’s cheese factor.
Even a rabid pack of mice would listen to this and think, “c’mon, we need some something to cleanse the palate.”
i feel a lot sorrier for jack than i do the hamster. will someone please open the door a crack for jack?!
Metz! Too funny! LOL!
..now really though, where’s a hamster gonna hide a nail file?
LMAO at Metz and Pyrit.
Shaks head at thoughts of Hamster prisoners and hamster aliens.
Hmm I just noticed this needs to have one more comment to make it an even 100 SO there!!!!
100. Brushes off hands.. My work is done.
Hello, I’m here to sign up for Commenting 101.
I’ll concede that the lyrics are not exactly intellectual, but neither are hamsters! And the song is fun, as are hamsters.
That hamster reminds me of myself sometimes on the WoW hamster wheel of XP…I’ll keep hammering at the monster of the quest til I get it..
But I confess, I’m not as cute as Hamham+Freddy Mercury.
Old video. Geez.
So glad this opened again to comments…LOVED this!! Determined fattitude to the max adorableness…
And ya know, there was no danger to this hammie…person behind the camcorder clearly loves this fat little OCD hammie.
And anyone who has ever owned one of them knows this is what they live for.
Thanks, again.
It’s NOT a Hamster!!! It’s a Gerbil!
Where is his Tail???
The line about being “a shooting star passing by like Lady Godiva” always bothered me, but I love the song, mixed metaphors and all. Go Hammie!
I think it could have used to be a wee bit shorter, but it was cute and made me giggle.
Ok…all I could think was…if someone opens that door…it is the end for hammie. That would have decapatated him!!!
Steve…it’s a hamster…
There’s no way you could make some commentroversy about this video. It just shows the..eh…slight simplemindedness and tendency towards getting stuck doing one thing that hamsters have.
Still, I find it hillarious how it insists on trying to open the door on the hinged side. Especially being miniscule compared to the door.
I think my favorite part is the sudden wash-break in the middle. That was positively catlike!
My poor mom is way stressed out about work lately (and family stress with sick relatives and a troublesome son and whatnot), and I called her up today to cheer her up…and she says that this video is getting her through the week because it makes her laugh so much. Best use of Freddie Mercury and rodents EVAH.
