There is not enough eye-rolling in the world to counter this photo

Obvy, our friends The Chinchillaz are having a Saturday night birthday party. They appear to be downing popcorn-shaped jello shots. Um, and the hats are chinchilla-SIZED. Did you hear me, People? CHINCHILLA-SIZED!!!

    A likely story…

    Wikipedia says “There is no page titled “redonkulousness”. “

  7. nay says:

    awwww, chinchilla sized photo shopped hatz;)

  8. Vicky says:

    Finally some chinchillaness representin!!

    Soooooo cuuute! Chillas are the cutest little things ALIVE!

  9. tiny bubbles says:

    Gads! I cannot believe those chincheekies are tolerating that hat ac-shons!
    I don’t think those hats are ‘shopped – chinnies don’t hold their ears like that otherwise (mine puts her ears to the sides when I scritch her head).

  10. That white one is chunktastic! I hope the little gray one doesn’t tease him for being so pudgy.

  11. yankeebird says:

    Ashagato, me too! Happy Birthday!

    Wanna share – you take one, I take one?

  12. “Popcorn shaped jello shots?”

    Or…Jello flavored popcorn?

  13. Ponygirl says:

    OMG!!!!!

  14. chanpon says:

    Om nom nom nom?

  15. IndiaChic says:

    At first it’s like… Oh look a birthday party. Yay!

    And then it’s like, WAIT wha?

    And then it’s like, Okay, now that it just too freakin cute!

    Finally, you take that quadruple glance and ask yourself, How the heck did they do that?!

  16. CoffeeCup says:

    Chinchillas! I love chinchillas! If I hadn’t gotten a bunny, I would’ve definitely put my vote in for a chinchilla. So sweet and soft!

  17. IndiaChic says:

    And lastly, your pet looks over your shoulder with “I’ll compare that to my birthday” eyes. And it’s that moment you’ve realized you’ve joined the competition ;)

  18. Stephanie says:

    That is so cute!!! I want eem both!

  19. dailyhamster says:

    I LOVE ball-shaped furry animals! That little white one def qualifies! Awww.

  20. catablob says:

    they have handz.
    little pink handz.

    the white one reminds me of mrs. cravitz, for some reason.
    the look on its face…?
    dunno.

  21. Kuu says:

    Just the sort of redonk I needed to make the day a little bit less homesick-y. I love CO. xD

  22. Annie says:

    I say Mr. McFurgle; Jolly good Party you are throwing and many happy returns of the day.

    Why thank you Miss Flufenstuff. I am so glad you could attend and bring a nice erm polkadotted present for me. I am three years old today don’t you know.

    Ohh Mr. McFurgle you are just the perfect age for me.
    Would you like to come over to my house for tea tomorrow

    why I would be delited Miss Flufenstuff… Perhaps you would be interested in viewing my etchings upstairs…

    Oh I would love to see your etchings Mr McFurgle..

    The chins’ names are Chewie (ebony) and Newie (white). This photo is currently in the running to be used as a Hallmark birthday card.

  24. Furbabies says:

    Chinchillas are so soft. Sweet little critters.

  25. lacey says:

    It was my birthday yesterday! I’m glad the chinchillas celebrated, too.

    I would like a close-up of the precious curled lip of the white one. He’s holding his birthday snack in ONE HAND! The snack, if not jello shooters, might be a chinchilla sized brioche bun from a local chinchilla bakery.

  26. Raemie L. says:

    I like how the white one could be saying, “Oh hai, come on in,” mid-Nom-nom-nibble. The dark grey one is just as cute nom-nomming away.

    Well-composed photo, Peaches, box, balloons, shiny BEF & tail placement.

  27. anna says:

    27 minutes into my birthday and I get birthday wishes from super cute animals!

    I win at life.

  28. ashagato says:

    Yankeebird, Lacey, and Anna:
    Happy birthday, y’all!!
    Tonight at least, we definitely do win at life…

  29. Christine H says:

    This photo most certainly fits any good definition of “redonkulousness”.

  30. pyrit says:

    Chin-chilla-ree, chin-chin charoo,

    Happy Birthday to you.

  31. Gail says:

  32. Marianne says:

  33. spiffy says:

    wow…i think it’s really not photoshopped.

  34. Caitlin says:

    Egads! It’s my birthday, too!

  35. Hon Glad says:

    Glurpity gronf slurp snaffle, great finger food.

  36. blair says:

    the fat one is all like, “they’re doing WHAT by the water bottle?”

  37. Tanya says:

    If you go to the Chinchilla wikipedia entry , you can also see another cutie holding a fruit sticker! Such cute and funny little critters! Ahnnnnn :)

  38. Yitzysmommie says:

    I lof their hands.

  39. dailyhamster says:

    It’s my UNbirthday today! (Remember that from Alice in Wonderland?) A very, merry unbirthday to meeee!

  40. lurkingsmirk says:

    heehee i also like how the white one is a tad bit bigger than the gray; i could see them in a disney movie about chinchilla buddies.

  41. cafegrrl says:

    OMG, I laughed so hard, this is the cutest and funniest picture in a while, it IS redonkulous!

  42. jen says:

    omigawd. what the heck is going on here!???! REdonkulousness of EPIC proportions!!! lmao!

  43. jules says:

    The white one looks for all the world like some sort of Pokemon! They are too cute. And too redonk. I lurve them!

  44. Melisma says:

    That’s an incredible coincidence… my boyfriend and I have been planning on getting a chinchilla for a while now, and yesterday we met the chinchilla of our dreams. She was so tiny and snuggly and precious. We’re going back to get her next week. Probably going to name her Kaylee after the Firefly character.
    Vive la chinchilla!

  45. Kim says:

    Little puffs of cuteness!

  46. Chibi says:

    Eee! It’s Chewie and Newie! These guys are so adorable. My chinchillas (all 6 of them) want birthday parties now.

  47. Essentia says:

    The hats on the chinnies is not photoshopped. The person who whom these lovelies belong to is a member of a chinchilla forum I am on. They are actually wearing those hate, which makes the picture that much cuter.

  48. Subhangi says:

    Awwww, what tiny hats! And they look like balloons themselves! SQUEE!!!

  49. kelly4504 says:

  51. wRitErsbLock says:

  52. ThreeCatNight says:

  53. sunny says:

  54. Jen says:

    My chin wouldn’t tolerate this either

  55. musicchick2 says:

    OMG!!! Toooooooo cute!

  56. Infinity says:

    OMG, finalleh some chins! I cannot get over how redonkulously anerable they be.

    EHHHN, I stretches to reech teh cute! *hits fingers on screen*

  57. dub1 says:

    The comments are often amoozing, and I thought there COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE A BUZZKILL for vanill chinchill and pal, could there?

    And there, puppuppup, it was.
    FOR SHAME, pee you.
    Nothing cute about animals and their humans dead and dying from tick and flea bites, either. Take your libertarian unscientific buzzkill, double your dose, and leave us in peace.

    Now back to cuteness. I think I need to nibble some bun ears and chant my new mantra: Ommmmmm nom nom nom…

  58. purplenpink says:

    that is so CUTE!!
    my hamsters do that all the time but i never get it on camera!!

  59. Blyhagd says:

    Yeah, umm, my chinchillas would have 1) Devoured their treats and then 2) Torn off the hats and devoured those as well before I could even focus my camera on them. Then they would have run off and come out only as a blur on film.
