I Had That Dream Again Last Night

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on April 22, 2009

OK, so it’s like, I’m parachuting, only it’s some kinda magic invisible parachute you can’t see… and like I must have landed in a haunted house or something, ’cause I keep hearing these weird voices, laughing and going “ooo-OOO-ooo” and stuff… but it’s all cool, ’cause Scarlett Johansson gives me a full-body massage…

gee whiz CO, thanks for keelingk me. now i’m totally ded and won’t get any work done today. gah!

2 Alice 04.22.09 at 8:06 am

SQUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE!

I just hope that woman isn’t being PAID to tickle a slow loris. That would be completely unacceptable in a world where not everyone has access to such a sublime creature.

*stomps off in fit of jealousy*

3 honeypants 04.22.09 at 8:07 am

This is the BEST THING EVER!!!

4 Metz 04.22.09 at 8:09 am

Extremely dedifying!
Streeeeeeeyyyyyaaaaaaaayyyytch AHHHH.

5 Birdcage 04.22.09 at 8:10 am

Awwwwwwwwww……….when her hands get tired tickling the slow loris, I will take over. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. I hesitate to engage in anthropomorphism (ok, that’s not entirely true, I actually RUSH to engage in it ……) but he looks sooooooo blissed out with the belly rubbin’ with that dopey grin on his slow face.

6 Kristabelle 04.22.09 at 8:11 am

OMG! The SMILE on his FACE!!!!!!

That might just be the cutest thing EVAR! (De ja vu?)

7 anon 04.22.09 at 8:14 am

I’m a bit concerned. I hope that slow loris isn’t being kept as a pet…

8 Von Zeppelin 04.22.09 at 8:21 am

Actually, Anon, the loris is keeping the tickle/massage lady as a pet. This video was shot on the Planet of the Lorises, where the strepsirrhine primates dominate the hominids. As soon as the massage is over, the loris is going back to his laptop to get back to work (slowly) on the third quarter financial projections for Loriscorp.

9 Jessica 04.22.09 at 8:24 am

OMG I love how his/her fists are clenched in a victory pose while being tickled, but it’s heart-breaking to watch his/her head slowly turn into a pout when he/she realizes the tickles have ceased. Such a sweet face! Too much!

10 Poohbear 04.22.09 at 8:28 am

Adorable, but these cuties should not and cannot be kept as pets… Hope this li’l guy is only visiting. Sorry for being a nuff-nuff today, and thanks to Von Z for keeping it light…

11 Gail (the first one) 04.22.09 at 8:30 am

Saw this on the news yesterday. It is SO ADORABLE!!! I totally volunteer to be a relief armpit-tickler!!!!!

You know, I learn so much here on CO…..up until recently, I didn’t know that Lorises (Lorisii?) were for reals….thought they were a Dr Suess invention like the Whos.

12 kittyadventures 04.22.09 at 8:31 am

LOL what a cutie patootie… he is so having a great time getting his tummy scratched.

13 Marie 04.22.09 at 8:35 am

This is very cute, but I also hope that this isn’t someone’s pet. Looks like it is.

14 Theresa 04.22.09 at 8:38 am

When the tickling stops, it’s like “No, I’m not angry, just very disappointed.”

15 jen 04.22.09 at 8:46 am

Von Zeppelin – LOL

16 Sven 04.22.09 at 8:49 am

Was it the pear dream again?

17 mary 04.22.09 at 8:56 am

i don’t know… he looks pretty happy to me. :)

18 Christy 04.22.09 at 8:56 am

OMG how adorable!

19 Jane 04.22.09 at 9:03 am

This really is the best thing ever, ever, ever.
It’s smiling, complacent face and tiny fists are priceless.

20 Katiedid 04.22.09 at 9:05 am

lol every time they stop he looks so sad hehehe…
“why you point at me and laugh.. you never gotz a belly rubby before??”

21 Skip 04.22.09 at 9:06 am

Hm, I figured he was being fostered for a rescue or zoo. Let’s hope for the best.

22 Paul 04.22.09 at 9:12 am

Loris goes between “YES! THIS IS AWESOME!!1!” to “Why have you stopped?” back to “YES!! TOTALLY AWESOME!!eleven!”

23 cowsharky 04.22.09 at 9:14 am

@Sven: Kids in the Hall FTW!

Judging from the Youtube link, if that loris is being kept as a pet, then that person’s house is covered in pee, cuz they do that to mark territory and you can’t train them out of it. Also, the poster of the video said it’s illegal to keep them since they’re endangered, so I’m thinking it wasn’t a case of it being a pet, and this is so cute, I don’t wanna be a Debbie Downer.

24 monkeylina 04.22.09 at 9:19 am

That is amazingly cute, but thanks Marie for bringing to our attention how cruel the trade in Lorises is. I had no idea there even was a trade! Where is this happening? You have to wonder what will happen in the future – at one point dogs and cats were wild but we all have these creatures as pets. Is it cruel to keep pets at all? I wonder whether in the future there will be more exotic animals accepted as being pets. For better or worse!

25 Noelle (the First) 04.22.09 at 9:20 am

OMG, like I totally had the same dream, only it was Johnny Depp not Scarlet Johansson!

I love the reaction when she stops tickling him. He very slowly is like “Hey…..what….why….did….you….stop”.

26 Johanna 04.22.09 at 9:23 am

Why have you stopped!!!?? Have I told you to stop????!!! No!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
Why have you stopped!!!?? Have I told you to stop???!!! No!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..

27 Noelle (the First) 04.22.09 at 9:23 am

BTW Gail…Dr. Suess has a Lorax not a Loris, although maybe the Lorax is a distant cousin of the Loris, or maybe Dr. Suess meant him to be a Loris and had a typo.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not!”

28 Benny's Mum 04.22.09 at 9:24 am

OMG the eys at 40 secs when she stops! YOU CANNOT RESIST EET!!!!!!!!!! TICKLE MY BELLEH MORE!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

29 Janni 04.22.09 at 9:32 am

The.Cutest.Creature.Ever.
That’s saying a lot, considering the existence of Red Pandas and Kittayns and Raccoonsies and such.
I can’t really believe that guy is real. It looks like a cartoon character… But a cute one.

30 Xtineebee 04.22.09 at 9:32 am

OMG – the “Why’d you stop!?!!?” face is the *best*… no, no, the happy WHEEEEEE posishie while being skritched….no wait….Oh it’s all TOO FABULOUS! And *random*, which gives it bonus awesome points.

YAY!

31 Katrina 04.22.09 at 9:36 am

OK, I believe that Slow Lorises speak a low and dreamy Japanese. I believe that Slow Lorises can bet petted and tickled and that they really like it.
I cannot believe that the tickler was able to keep her nose out of that belleh. That is beyond imagination. Careful of the toxic armpits, though! God,is that worth the hazard or what?

32 Patty 04.22.09 at 9:42 am

That poor woman is destined to a life of constant loris tickling, How can she ever stop
when he looks at her like that? He is sooo sad when it stops, and sooo happy when she
continues.

33 Andrea 04.22.09 at 9:53 am

I just wanna reach through my monitor and tickle it too! :D

34 CoffeeCup 04.22.09 at 9:59 am

Apparently the slow loris’ name is Sonya. She is a pet, and here are other videos of her: http://www.vimeo.com/2073238 and http://www.vimeo.com/2069109. I don’t know where the owner lives, so it’s very possible that owning a slow loris is not illegal there like it is in the U.S. Apparently he drives a Honda, which is available in countries other than the U.S.

Btw, the YouTube page of the video embedded in this CO post is from cutebreak.com and it does remind people that keeping slow lorises as pets is illegal, and is not advised.

All that said…this video is hilarious and adorable.

35 berthaservant 04.22.09 at 10:08 am

AHHH!!!! Jeez M. Crow, peeps!

WHY DO WE ALWAYS ASSUME THE WORST? First of all, out of 36 comments so far, 8 very explicitly say that keeping slow lorii as a pet is illegal/wrong for whatever reason. Several others have written in saying “Wow, thanks, too bad, because it’s cute.” How is this ENCOURAGING the illegal trade? I mean, think about me. I’m a bachelor with naught but a snooty cat to keep me company. I decide, “let me get the cutest pet possible with which to impress the ladies, or at least get their attention.” I see this post, and I say, “Hmmm, this fellow will do the trick.” And then I — what? WHERE DO I GO? To my local pet store? Nope, they don’t have them. The aminal shelter? Nope, just more typical, non-armpit-venomous-peeing-biting creatures. Should I advertise on craigslist? HEY? What if I call that illegal animal bounty hunter I met at that party? I’m sure an illegally secured loris can be smuggled into the country and gotten to my home, where I can find a vet to remove his teeth and poison armpits, that whole thing is going to cost me, what, twenty or thirty grand?

The only thing this did was encourage me to learn MORE about loris, how cute they are, how they should NOT be kept as pets, etc.

We do NOT know the situation of this loris. We do NOT know why he is being kept by people and tickled/scritched in apparent delight. Perhaps he his a rescue…perhaps they are loris experts….WE DON’T KNOW. DON’T ASSUME THE WORST. Make your point about these not being acceptable pets — thank you very much, that’s important to know — and MOVE ON.

[Dude, I'm right with you, but ease up. I'll take care of the trolls. - Ed.]

P.S. Imagine my surprise when I googled “Scarlet Johannsen” and “full body massage” and got C.O….

36 Wendy 04.22.09 at 10:22 am

Leetle fists of joy! That is what this baby loris has, leeetle clenchy fists of joy!

And BerthaServant that was WONDERFULLY well-said!

37 plousia 04.22.09 at 10:28 am

I would like to hug it until it explodes. Figuratively speaking, of course.

38 Kristabelle 04.22.09 at 10:31 am

OMG, BS, I am sitting here laughing my head off at “typical, non-armpit-venomous-peeing-biting creatures”!!! Oh my lord…I can’t stop laughing…

*falls off chair, wiping tears*

39 cheshirekittehkat 04.22.09 at 10:33 am

Well, beings that I’m pretty new here, I’ll stay out of the fray, sit here and eat my poppycorm and just watch….. one thing I have learned, from another blog, is that you have to read all the comments, or you miss vital stuff (I’ve done that already, to great embarrassment); and Meg, Theo, and NOMTOM: I luv yuu guise!! You are providing us with a lot of daily kyuooteniss, that we would not otherwise have ….. :lol:

40 charliewabba 04.22.09 at 10:33 am

“P.S. Imagine my surprise when I googled “Scarlet Johannsen” and “full body massage” and got C.O….”
B-serve, you are the awesome-est.
(snort)

41 skippymom 04.22.09 at 10:51 am

Berthaservant, I had been in a black funk all day so far; I just read your comment and my spirits have bounced back up. Very well said. Thank you.

“Hmmm, this fellow will do the trick.” LMAO

42 Tee 04.22.09 at 11:04 am

The look on the face is what Bleen means, right?

43 cricket 04.22.09 at 11:21 am

Ohhh!!! How sweet! Defineately brightened up my gloomy day!!

Plaid-Shirt Pyrate and Berthaservant well said, I couldn’t agree more!!!

44 Suzanne 04.22.09 at 11:29 am

Saw this on Good Morning America yesterday morning…they ran it under their “Daily Happy” piece. Even got Chris Cuomo going “awwww….”

45 Jess 04.22.09 at 11:30 am

I want to put my face in her fluffy tummy and give her the snorrgling of a lifetime! My hamster would do that also, I’d be playing with him and then I would put him back in his cage and he would put his paws up against the glass and stare sadly at me until I picked him up again. Of course since hamsters are nocturnal I would usually have to pry myself away from him around 3am. Yay!

46 Brenda 04.22.09 at 11:37 am

That is one happy little dude!

47 Star-eyed 04.22.09 at 11:51 am

Judging by the guy’s name and other videos he posted (particularly one with the honda since I can clearly see the signs and other cars license plates), they are in Russia. It’s not illegal to own Loris in Russia although it’s really hard to find out whether the one you are purchasing was brought in legally or not. But there is vast information on how to properly care for a pet Loris on the Russian webs so it actually happens quite a lot.

48 jen 04.22.09 at 11:51 am

BerthaS – “non-armpit-venomous-peeing-biting creatures” ! i am wiping tears off my face. great rant btw. spot on.

49 Noelle (the First) 04.22.09 at 11:53 am

BTW when i googled “scarlet johannsen” and “full body massage” I got something very different. *shudders*

50 charliewabba 04.22.09 at 11:56 am

cheshirekittehkat — poppycorm is good, but the preferred snack for enhancing your viewing pleasure of commentroversies such as this is pudding. Have some? (offers a choice of chocolate, vanilla, or tapioca). All are good for flinging.

51 pounce 04.22.09 at 11:59 am

I love the little smiley face he’s got while being tickled … and the “What? Why???” face he’s got when it stops.

52 mxlplyx 04.22.09 at 12:04 pm

Too Kyute!!! Y’know, that baby shows utter contentment with simple belly-rubz… meybeh i need to be just as happy w/just as much….but first, must watch the cutness again!

53 Bryn 04.22.09 at 12:05 pm

OMG. He’s SMILINGK!!!!!
Hmm…kinda reminds me of my husband. Not that I sit around all day rubbing my husband’s belly and armpits.

54 Zoom's Mom 04.22.09 at 12:16 pm

Charliewabba- Now I finally get the pudding references! (thank you) If you is sharing, may I please has vanilla? please?
Thanks for the smiles CO! =-)

55 Paunchie 04.22.09 at 12:22 pm

non-venomous peeing biting creatures

beats

stinky little poop machines (ferrets) I think!

especially when they have raised little victory fists!

56 skippymom 04.22.09 at 12:28 pm

What about grapenut?

57 Lillith 04.22.09 at 12:38 pm

Sven made me giggle!

And I love his little Mary Katherine Gallagher “Supastah” pose and sweet smile!

58 charliewabba 04.22.09 at 12:39 pm

grapenut pudding?

59 Julie 04.22.09 at 12:39 pm

RE: Berthaservant: P.S. Imagine my surprise when I googled “Scarlet Johannsen” and “full body massage” and got C.O….
I’m sure she was as relieved as you were :)
I second your assessment – while I generally do not agree with capturing wild creatures for the pet trade, we do not know how this Loris came into their lives, & it is unfair to say the least to tar them with accusations without proof.
Having said that; Awwwwww – adorable!

60 skippymom 04.22.09 at 12:41 pm

Grapenut pudding, yes! Much nicer than slimy tapioca!

61 Karen 04.22.09 at 12:44 pm

I want one!!

62 Copperbat 04.22.09 at 12:49 pm

oh. mah. gawl.

The leetle fists. The dejected expression when the tickling stopped. How insanely cute!

63 Estelle 04.22.09 at 12:57 pm

aaaaaaaawwwwww!!!!!! ^_^ ***
I want to cuddles himm!! ^_^!

64 JFB212 04.22.09 at 1:05 pm

I’d like to know where this was shot and why this animal is in a bedroom area. Slow lorises populations, though difficult to count, are vulnerable. Is this a rescue animal?

Here is the IUCN page for interest. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/39758

65 Lottifish 04.22.09 at 1:09 pm

This has made my day!

66 skippymom 04.22.09 at 1:14 pm

Lotti: is that an axolotl?

67 Argyle Donkeypants 04.22.09 at 1:35 pm

Zomg the beady, glassy eyes of bliss. I love the look at :40, as if to say, “Do you SEE that the hand model from the Palmolive commercials has stopped scritching my armpits? How could you let this occur? Have you no soul?”

68 stphjay 04.22.09 at 1:40 pm

My squeeing at the cuteness of slow lorises is tempered by my worry that the loris in the video is being kept as a pet, which is BAD.

69 Mandy 04.22.09 at 1:46 pm

berthaservant, I think I love you. LOL.

Seriously, I totally agree. People need to quit being all doom and gloom and alarmist on this site. We are all here for cute. Before running around screaming that the sky is falling, first make sure it’s not raining. And, one person’s comment about them not being pet-worthy is more than enough. If I’m silly enough to even consider it without research to find out for myself, if I don’t get it from one person telling me, I’m not going to get it from 20 people telling me.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I’m easily annoyed today because of the heat.

70 Bruno 04.22.09 at 2:12 pm

Hey, isn’t that King Julien himself?

71 nismo 04.22.09 at 2:15 pm

That’s cute how she keeps giggling.

72 cheshirekittehkat 04.22.09 at 2:52 pm

Charliewabba– Kthx: I was getting tired of the poppycorm anyway; pudding, you say?
For flinging? Hmmmm….. the neighbor kid left one of those super water gun blasters lying around, and they shoot RLLY far; mebbee, instead of flinging, I could load the blaster with pudding; (but by the time I got around to using it, the pudding would be as hard as a rock; then I would have to feign ignorance when the inconsolable kid came around asking why his blaster was inoperable….!) :oops:

73 Ptychozoon 04.22.09 at 3:04 pm

Give me an “A!” Give me an “R!” Give me a “M!” Arm pits arm pits, gooooo ARMPITS!

74 eknirb 04.22.09 at 3:04 pm

That might be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

75 AuntieMame 04.22.09 at 3:06 pm

Serve him right for leaving it lying around, cheshirekittehkat! Possession is 9/10ths of the law, after all.

I have this dream all the time, too, except that it’s not Scarlet Johansen for me, either. And I’m usually having all my teeth extracted without Novocaine instead of getting a full body massage.

But um…yeah. The same otherwise.

76 kibbles 04.22.09 at 3:12 pm

I hope that animal isn’t being kept as a pet. However, I agree it’s cute. I’m sure it’s just as cute in it’s natural habitat.

77 charliewabba 04.22.09 at 3:29 pm

Although your neighbor’s kid’s watergun blaster sounds like an awesome means of propelling pudding, I would most strongly recommend the puddingpult, or even the dreaded Puddingkwarferschnorglekanonen.

78 charliewabba 04.22.09 at 3:30 pm

did I spell that right?

[T-H-A-T, yeah, looks good... - Ed.]

79 Barb 04.22.09 at 3:34 pm

I had one of the worst days known to mankind, but after watching that, I am now smiling. Thanks, I needed that!

80 Joools 04.22.09 at 3:38 pm

And pray tell, whom do you think scritches their armpits where they live in the wild forests of southeast Asia? NOBODY, that’s who!! Think upon that if you dare.

81 Wendy 04.22.09 at 4:48 pm

HELP!

I can’t stop laughing!

My ribs hurt!

Tears are streaming down my face!

That HAS TO BE the cutest, funniest thing I’ve seen in a VERY long time!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

82 Wendy 04.22.09 at 4:48 pm

And Jools’ comment ISN’T HELPING!

83 Gail (the first one) 04.22.09 at 4:49 pm

@Noelle (the first): DUH!!!!! (Sound of head hitting keyboard in shame). The LORAX. I *knew* that!

84 ARF 04.22.09 at 5:04 pm

Aw, I submitted this and didn’t get mentioned. Perhaps it was a coincidence and found by someone else.

Either way, OMGITSAWESOME.

85 DaytimeDeb 04.22.09 at 5:10 pm

Just don’t get it wet or feed it after midnight!

86 berthaservant 04.22.09 at 5:33 pm

sorry teho. you da man.

87 nismo 04.22.09 at 6:22 pm

@0:37

Haha, she points at his belly and laughs. So cute.

88 Samantha 04.22.09 at 6:25 pm

@ARF I submitted it as well! And I imagine a couple people did considering I found it on another blog and Gail saw it on the news yesterday.

And Sven, I thought the same thing when reading the description.

89 Des 04.22.09 at 6:51 pm

I too submitted this yesterday. I look his fists of JOY! Where can I get a job that has me tickling a slow loris all day, to his and my delight?

90 kibblenibble 04.22.09 at 6:51 pm

I’m thinkin poppycorm would be easier to clean up than puddin. Just sayin. This loris made my day.

91 Nancy 04.22.09 at 7:07 pm

I lerv! so cutez! I wantz to reach in and scratch those tinsy hairy pitz! That is the cutest, cutest, cutist I’ve seen on CO. I’m really jealous of that tickler girl!!

92 jubileeblot 04.22.09 at 7:30 pm

That sweet face wanting more…. no can resist, all resistance is futile. Gawd, I want to rub me a Lorus belly. Hey Mandy, I’m totally hearing ya! Can’t stand all of the stuffy judgies here bringing us down. It’s CUTE OVERLOAD don’t ruin it with negativity!

93 ARF 04.22.09 at 7:33 pm

Oh, weird – I found it hidden in a post in a blog from a long time ago! It just seemed like a coincidence that it was posted like a few hours after I sent it in. It’s soooh cuuuute so I’m not surprised it was submitted so many times :)

94 duck au vin 04.22.09 at 8:16 pm

JOOOLS…I was thinking the same thing. ROFL!

This is FAR and AWAY the BEST thing to ever have been posted on C.O.

Hands down.

What beseeching eyes, oh and Von Zepplin could we have more tales from planet Loris.

100 cheesybird 04.23.09 at 12:22 am

Why must we choose between poppycorm and pudding? Why not poppycorm-flavored pudding?

101 Barbarella a.k.a. The Mad Cat Lady 04.23.09 at 1:50 am

OMG. Look at the *smile* on that cute fella´s face!!!! Tooooooo cute! :D

I AM IN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF

105 Elle 04.23.09 at 6:59 am

I’m guessing that the woman is probably a veterinarian or a zoo employee. Most people with illegal animals are smart enough to refrain from posting videos on th web. People, don’t freak out over nothing, it’s redonkulous. Just smile and enjoy the cute.
Hmm, maybe if we tickled those grumpy gills people like they tickle that adorable little guy, people would be happier… :)

106 Katrina 04.23.09 at 7:23 am

Yup, this goes to UCONN!

113 esther 04.23.09 at 1:09 pm

LOL my dog really likes being “tickled” at his armpits too…it’s quite strange but cute :]

114 Suzanne 04.23.09 at 1:25 pm

To combat the the bleak corporate world and depressed economy this country is in, I have made it my daily mission in life to check out CO at least once a day. It beats taking Zoloft! But this video of a Loris getting its armpits scritched absolutely, positively made my day! Everytime I watch it, I laugh till I cry! OMG! The grin, the clenched fits thrusting into the air, and the blissful look of ahhhhhh when just the right area has been scratched is priceless! Thanks CO! x0×0x0x

115 Gus 04.23.09 at 1:35 pm

The fists take it from great to tops.

i think this is my 5th time watching it, it stole my soul, everytime I watch it for some reason i want the lady to pick him up like reallly bad, maybe because i want to reallly bad.

117 Hana 04.23.09 at 2:53 pm

This is really really cute… But I don’t think that this site should support keeping wild animals as pets. These animals are critically endangered in the wild, partly because of their appeal in the pet trade. They’re cute, but please leave them where they should be!

118 eNuffer 04.23.09 at 4:06 pm

Agreed Hana, they should really take down the link for importing these illegally. Next thing you know, the Loris will be extinct because everyone tries to own them, just like the goldfish, the dog, and the chicken.

119 shelley 04.23.09 at 5:19 pm

I WANT ONE!!

120 Hana 04.23.09 at 7:29 pm

For sure, they’re cute! But they’re not domesticated and quick breeding, like dogs and chickens. They can’t maintain their populations when they’re being removed so quickly.

121 Daphne Moss 04.23.09 at 10:02 pm

I want to be a professional Loris tickler.
This might just be the cutest thing I have ever seen, although I too wonder if this poor little critter is being kept as a pet. Not good. I just wish I could magically restore all the habitat of such sweetie pies. What a wonderful leetle face!!

122 Raemie L 04.24.09 at 2:20 am

Ahnnng… I watched this video on full screen as well. Heyd sploshun was worth it.

123 kodalai 04.24.09 at 8:34 am

I think it’s really amazing that Cute Overload has such a high readership of animal control police officers. It’s really good to know that someone is on the lookout!

124 Traci 04.24.09 at 9:42 am

My brother used to tickle me like that!
It was torture! Tee-Hee

125 berthaservant 04.24.09 at 11:21 am

I really, really wish people would just read previous comments. That’s all. We’d save a lot of time. Sigh.

:: watching again and trying to resist the temptation to randomly adopt a loris ::

126 DuhGirl 04.24.09 at 1:32 pm

Yeah. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – the only sources of comments dumber than the ones by the Debbie Downers on CO are YT itself, and 4-freaking-chan. Some people need to get liiiiives.

127 DaytimeDeb 04.24.09 at 1:50 pm

Duhgirl, I learned to love that sketch on SNL, but I really wish they had called her Daphne Downer or Darlene Downer instead. Wa Wa Waaaa.

128 catzarecute 04.24.09 at 1:51 pm

HOLY EFFING GAWD. NEVER HAVE SEEN AN ANIMAL AS CUTE AS THIS. MY EYES. I MUST RIP THEM OUT; HOW CAN I LIVE WITH SUCH CUTENESS…………. CUTENESS FACTOR 5000% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY EFFING GAWD……………

129 Theo 04.24.09 at 1:52 pm

Heh. Wait till she sees a red panda cub. :lol:

130 chanpon 04.24.09 at 7:44 pm

Slow loris = Buddy Ebsen of the animal world? Who’s with me?

131 chanpon 04.24.09 at 7:45 pm

D’oh! Totally meant to type Buddy Hackett, not Ebsen.

132 J Berger 04.24.09 at 8:52 pm

I think I cried a little from the sheer adorableness. The big eyes, the wounded expression, the tiny paws-**degenerates into a ridiculous pool of “ooohs” and “ahhhs”**

133 Ashes 04.24.09 at 10:23 pm

OMG please stuff a sock in your mouths with your whining about slow loris being a pet.
Gee no predators and free meals and belly rubs,.

134 Ashes 04.24.09 at 10:25 pm

And they’re obviously in Russia or some Eastern Euro country, so again please close your pieholes with the silly nattering about Loris owning.

I thought cooler people read CO.

135 Ingrid 04.25.09 at 8:13 am

This made my horrible week 100% better. *proceeds to watch video 10,000 more times*

136 Brea 04.25.09 at 6:43 pm

@ Not That Mike The Other Mike. Dude. If it was possible to improve on an already cute entry, your caption skills took it to the next level.

The whole invisible parachute and full body massage dream sequentce is crazy clever! Keep up the good work – I am your #1 fan.

137 Brea 04.25.09 at 6:44 pm

SEQUENCE, I mean. I got all flustered at the exquisiteness of the caption…

138 Katja 04.26.09 at 6:26 pm

Awesome. Tag as “Primates” too, please! What a cute little guy.

[Yep, got it... - Ed.]

139 stacey 04.27.09 at 11:50 pm

oh my. this is just ridiculously cute. when the girl stops tickling on him and he just looks at the camera, i can just hear him saying, “can i have some more, sir?”

140 Shelly 04.28.09 at 2:01 am

This is so darn cute, I want one! :)

141 Rapwnzel 04.28.09 at 6:17 am

This is still my fav CO featured video EVAR!
The runner up is the Elke the Francois Leaf-monkey video.

*splodes*

142 Camila 04.29.09 at 8:26 pm

he/she is sooo cuteeee..!!!! so adorableeeeeeee! i want oneee!

143 Spirit Bear 04.30.09 at 12:34 am

HI!

I bet as soon as you saw that absolutely adorable loris up there, alarm bells starting ringing in your head, along with a little voice saying, “Red Alert! Red Alert! Prime opportunity to squelch pure joy with hard facts about endangered species and toxic pee. Will not repeat until September 26, 2204.”

And, I bet you got so excited at such an opportunity that you zipped right on down here to the comment box without spending even a second looking at the, oh, I don’t know, 150? comments that have already accumulated on this post?

So you know what that means? It means: *We* *Have* *Heard* *It* *Already!!!!*

Thank you. Have a nice day. That is all.

;o)

144 Spirit Bear 04.30.09 at 1:22 am

P.S. Wow! There are a whole lot of Loris vids on the tube of U!

In the ones where the Loris is sitting on someone’s knee, playing, in a car, the two people are speaking Japanese.

Just, y’know, in case anyone wanted to…know that?

145 Paunchie 04.30.09 at 11:13 am

playing what, a banjo?

I CANNOT get enough of this clip! I love it when the little guy tilts his head all the way back RIGHT THERE’S THE SPOT like. So adorabulls.

146 shell 04.30.09 at 1:35 pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

149 Daphne Moss 05.01.09 at 2:40 pm

Hey, moderator.
Go ahead and remove the last comment “awaiting moderation.”
I can see that while you’re willing to let people savage me for daring to dissent,
I’m silenced. Whatevr.
Yours isn’t the only site like this.

150 Chessie824 05.01.09 at 8:27 pm

How can I make the little pic of the loris smiling into my wallpaper?

151 cassandra 05.02.09 at 2:38 am

my mom, brother, and I CANNOT get over this video. I love the little fists and when she stops scratching he’s all like, “hey…why’d you stop?” I bet his belly is soft. and warm.

152 ShonaSquee 05.03.09 at 11:58 am

The slow loris is super cute, I especially love it’s illuminating smile :)

People have the right to say what they want, and as long as it is not out-rightly offensive, then they are merely stating their opinion. Whether or not it is right, or has been said before is not important. We have to respect everyone’s views. :) I can understand that people could become concerned viewing this video, as the illegal pet trade encourages the pilfering of endangered species from their natural habitats, and while their are probably more responsible than irresponsible buyers, this trade does include the use of animal parts for medicinal and decorational purposes. HOWEVER, if anything, this video, and the comments that follow will probably serve to educate people about this trade, rather to encourage them to spend thousands and thousands of pounds on illegally importing slow lorises. The video neither endorses nor encourages nor funds the illegal pet trade. It is light relief, and a puff of cuteness to brighten up our days :)

P.S. Your right, chicks dig cats Berthaservant ;) A total babe magnet in comparison to floofy poison armpits.

153 Candice 05.03.09 at 3:17 pm

This is the cutest little guy I’ve ever seen!

154 Anita 05.03.09 at 6:59 pm

TOO CUTE

155 niamh loft 05.04.09 at 7:12 am

i like to move it – move it
i like to MOVE IT!!

156 Ellabella 05.04.09 at 11:49 am

wow. the bf and i nearly died watching this. It is so funny when you narrate over the top, like when she stops:
“Hey, hey, hey? Where do you think you’re going??”
love it!

157 Taylor 05.04.09 at 1:15 pm

OMG! cute slow loris! but…..one thing concerns me…… are people allowed to legally keep those as pets?

158 Laura B. 05.05.09 at 2:00 pm

Would it be a bad decision to drop out of law school to become a Slow Loris zookeeper? I feel like the competition for that gig might be fierce….

159 Kelsey 05.06.09 at 7:54 am

Thank you for giving me the first laugh I’ve had in a while; that vid just took my stress away!!!! Cutest ever.

160 Chaz 05.06.09 at 11:46 am

I WANT ONE!!!! ^_^

161 Journey13 05.07.09 at 3:58 am

Did you see the look it gave me when the woman stopped tickling? Adorable! I give you……100000000 STARS!!!!!! Can I be the whatcha-callit’s best bud?

162 eknirb 05.08.09 at 2:29 pm

Megster, I think you should leave this clip as a PERMANENT feature on the new CO masthead. Can’t beat it.

163 FUN ♥ CUTE STUFF @ 05.08.09 at 3:31 pm

Please i have to have one!!!

or a dozen!

164 Rachel Summers 05.09.09 at 7:24 am

I love the fists in the air…it’s like a little furry Muhammad Ali. “I gets the belly rubs! I _am_ the greatest!”

165 Rach 05.09.09 at 6:38 pm

Every time I watch this video, it makes me happy. :)

166 JEnna 05.10.09 at 11:27 am

167 Ruth 05.14.09 at 5:09 pm
