4 KrisD 01.26.10 at 8:00 pm

That is some pint-sized pile of disapproval. Cute, cute, sweet disapproval.

5 KrisD 01.26.10 at 8:02 pm

Perky perky beady eyed disapproval.
I. Can’t. Take. The. Cute.!

(Sorry, this post was so good, I couldn’t limit myself to one pun.)

14 Too Late 01.26.10 at 8:12 pm

15 Miss M 01.26.10 at 8:13 pm

Head bobbing from 0:38 – 0:43 is adorable! Maybe new looping .gif potential? :D

16 AlbertaGirl 01.26.10 at 8:20 pm

Those aren’t just baby pygmy bunnehs…

They’re BABEH PYGMEH BUNNEHS!

17 Marianne 01.26.10 at 8:23 pm

zomg I want da bun!!!

18 babelglyph 01.26.10 at 8:25 pm

Your ears must be thiiiiiis big to be cute.

19 Chelsea 01.26.10 at 8:25 pm

COME ON YOUTUBE, LOAD FASTER! So cute! I’m going to go pet my bunny right now!

20 Melvin and Zoey at Mouchois 01.26.10 at 8:26 pm

I think anything with the word “Miniature” or “Pygmy” or any other word implicating smallness makes the animal 100000X cuter!
Being a bun just adds to that factor! Then, being a BABY bun adds 20X more cuteness!

21 hyura 01.26.10 at 8:29 pm

those flashlights! it’s like they’re super models.

22 Nikki 01.26.10 at 8:31 pm

What little darlings!

23 Aleutie 01.26.10 at 8:34 pm

“Anything with the word ‘pygmy’ in it is Cute”. Xept for human beings. They are not nesesserly cute.

24 silentk 01.26.10 at 8:38 pm

Ok, WHY is it not my job to measure adorable bunneh ears and feet?!? WHY did my college career counselor not inform me that this was an option? I am outraged!

25 Not That Mike The Other Mike 01.26.10 at 8:48 pm

Following that logic, the phrase “Pygmy Pygmy” should form a swirling vortex of Qte that grows exponentially, consuming everything it its path.

So nobody say it, just in case.

26 spb 01.26.10 at 9:05 pm

Hey Mike…

First of all, HUH? Not quite sure who you were responding to.

Second, how come the links to your most recent post (Seal Baroo) aren’t working??? I was shocked when I saw that the number of comments was “0″. Now I know why… it doesn’t work.

Inquiring minds want to know.

27 spb 01.26.10 at 9:08 pm

And third, what’s with the time? The time stamp for all the comments is an hour later than real time (Pac). You haven’t moved to Mountain time have you?

Ok, you might not be able to answer that one. Please to be forwarding to techy person at large. Thank you kindly.

28 kibblenibble 01.26.10 at 9:26 pm

Must kees top of bunneh head. *mwah* So soft! *sigh*

29 chanpon 01.26.10 at 9:32 pm

What’s better than a pygmy rabbit? A box of pygmy rabbits! *dies*

30 Juniper Jupiter 01.26.10 at 9:43 pm

They are the epitome of approval!

No typo…they approve of EVERYTHING!!! They’re not grumpeh at all! :D

31 Vicki 01.26.10 at 9:44 pm

Wait, so pygmy rattlesnakes are cute? Well, I… guess?

[Sure they are. Just don't try and scritch their ears. - Ed.]

32 Not That Mike The Other Mike 01.26.10 at 10:02 pm

spb: Regarding the seal post, that went live early due to operator (me) error. Sowwy.

33 edmundh 01.26.10 at 10:06 pm

I think I shall also include the keywords “measuring bunny ears” when I go job hunting online.

34 monica 01.26.10 at 10:19 pm

that’s not cute overload, that’s cute overdose………….. oh! so adorable.

35 Angel*** 01.26.10 at 10:23 pm

OMG OMG OMG >hyperventilates< I thought that those Dutch bunnies the size of my cat were cool, but bunnies maybe the size of a hamster??? RAD!! (And completely "DEATH BY CUTENESS"!!!)… *Note for Easter- Instead of 'Easter egg hunting, maybe there could be "Easter hunting for bunnies the size of Easter eggs?"??? Brilliant idea. Those brilliant Japanese scientists had to have been apart of this latest cuteness development… *Makes sneaky, under-cover facial expression* We're watching you here at Cuteoverload…. ^.-

36 Rowan 01.26.10 at 10:46 pm

WANT WANT WANT!!!

37 Melvin and Zoey at Mouchois 01.26.10 at 10:53 pm

Let me clarify my earlier post… Any “ANIMAL” with “pygmy” in it is cuter.
Although, some pygmy people can be pretty adawable as well.

Speaking of pygmy things… Can someone tell me what THIS is? I need one to go with my Green Lantern ring!

38 binky-mama 01.26.10 at 10:55 pm

Ah, yes measuring the bunneh feet and ears is important scientific research, but what I want to know is WILL THEY FIT IN MY MOUF???

39 Skip 01.26.10 at 10:56 pm

A whole BOX full at 1:20!

*dies*

40 Decca 01.26.10 at 11:05 pm

I….I mean….they….they are……no brain. I have no brain, it has been squeed out of me.

41 nismo 01.26.10 at 11:10 pm

Aw, I wish I had a career that involves holding little bunnies.

42 Beff 01.26.10 at 11:35 pm

Melvin and Zoey: Those are pygmy marmosets.

If I had a bebeh pygmeh bunneh there would be no excuse for NOT carrying it around in a tiny alfalfa-lined purse at all times. =:3

43 Monica 01.26.10 at 11:45 pm

And for those of you in the Southern CA area, once you’ve first visited Save a Bunny, then please also go visit Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation.

It’s not about the lack of shame – it’s about saving bunny lives, people! ;)

44 Chris Tucker 01.27.10 at 12:20 am

The self-discipline of these noble zoo workers, refraining from FEASTING upon all those baby bunny ears.

How do they do it?

45 jenben 01.27.10 at 2:01 am

EXACTLY what I needed on this rotten day. This is exactly why I come to this site multiple times a day: to perk me up no matter how I am feeling. Thank you soooo much!

46 Earwig 01.27.10 at 3:50 am

1:10 – scritchy eeeears!

47 Hon Glad 01.27.10 at 4:35 am

Bun enchanted evening, you may meet a stranger
you may meet a stranger, across a crowded room.

48 Katrina 01.27.10 at 4:35 am

The Zoo people are letting the bunnies’ feet get dirty! ACK!

49 Hon Glad 01.27.10 at 4:38 am

Katrina – Mon Dieu, we ave both posted at exactly the same time.
It’s fate its Kismet, well it’s quite unusual.

50 JC 01.27.10 at 4:58 am

Rule #46 — Anything with legs that are 2 inches long is cute!

51 jen 01.27.10 at 6:30 am

i sense disapproval, but just in smaller amounts.

52 ariel 01.27.10 at 6:36 am

i would suggest the even more amazing:
PYGMEH BUNNEH.

53 bunny 01.27.10 at 6:41 am

The grass is bigger then them!

O_O

54 LovesDogs 01.27.10 at 7:13 am

No disapproval at all. They’re sooo small, I’ll take……3.

55 Holly 01.27.10 at 7:17 am

My rabbit was the same size when I brought him home. Now he is in bunny heaven……I think I will rescue another bunny because they are SOOOO CUTE!!!!

56 Cashew 01.27.10 at 7:19 am

“Achem, hello, my name is Michael and my job is to hold SQUIRMY PYGMY BABY BUNNIES while somebody else measures their ears and feets. Nice to meet you.”

Squeeeeeeeeeeee! The only thing that keeps me from being ded of “teh qte” is being jealous of “teh job”.

57 Katrina 01.27.10 at 8:04 am

“mpsquee player”–full of zee win, yes?

Hon Glad- and no black hole-well, if the Large Hadron Collider didn’t set the atmosphere on fire, we still can! Kiss me you fool!

58 gryt 01.27.10 at 8:13 am

I cannot handle the cuteness of leetle bunneh feetsies being measured with a ruler. Cannot!

59 temperance 01.27.10 at 8:35 am

nice to see some professional cuteologists busy at work…i can’t believe there are still some people who don’t consider this a true, scientific discipline.

60 Debbe 01.27.10 at 8:38 am

OMG I have ALWAYS wanted a bunneh I could tuck into a pocket or carry in my palm!! They are SOOOO sweet!!! Now, where’s my insulin???

61 Bryn 01.27.10 at 8:55 am

Stupid high school guidance counselor!!! He never told me there were jobs where I could be paid to measure the teeny tiny ears and toes of teeny tiny buns!!!

62 Hon Glad 01.27.10 at 8:57 am

Katrina – If I do kiss you my darling, who knows where it could lead, I mean, I might have to take my Balaclava off and remove your Bombazine antimacassar, just the thought of it makes my Wellingtons tremble.

63 Gail White 01.27.10 at 8:59 am

And speaking of cute, check out the new koala pictures at
Zooborns.com. I’m surprised they aren’t on cuteoverload already.

64 Theresa 01.27.10 at 9:02 am

“Bunny”? Cute.
“Bunneh”? Cuter.
“PYGMY BUNNEH”? OMG CUTEST!!!

What about BABY PYGMY BUNNEH?????????? Huh? Huh?

65 Johanna 01.27.10 at 9:22 am

I actually had heart arrhythmia when they showed the box full of babeh pigmy bunbuns…

66 RKEM 01.27.10 at 9:40 am

From wiki: The Pygmy Rabbit is the smallest leporid in North America, with mean adult weights from 375 to about 500 grams.

That’s less than my ratties … which granted are anything but slender. Still … that’s TINY! I so want to glomph their tiny furry feet!

*squee*
*Asplodes*

67 LeAnn (not LeAnna) 01.27.10 at 10:04 am

*sigh* Adorabuhls. Little handfuls of qte. I need one to stand guard over my desk at work, probably wouldn’t stay still, though.

68 Kristabelle 01.27.10 at 10:17 am

Cute buns! (that’s what she said) :twisted:

69 Ritaya 01.27.10 at 10:28 am

Measuring bunneh feets? BEST JOB EVAR!

70 Wend 01.27.10 at 10:39 am

Must have.

that is all

71 Katrina 01.27.10 at 10:46 am

OH, well, then, I guess we should cool it, I hate to see a man’s Wellies trembling- awfully full of emotion there, no pda’s (public displays of affection) here, no sir, not here, no. *****Le sigh*****

Leeps trembling, head bowed, eyes filling, walks slowly away………

I am as despondent as a newly widowed Dik-Dik……

72 AuntieMame 01.27.10 at 10:59 am

Aww, maaaaan! They always have a cliffhanger right at the best part. *pout*

Does Hon Glad ever take off his Balaclava? Does Katrina ever overcome her fear of trembling Wellies? Does the Large Hadron Collider create an alternative reality in which everyone has a job measuring babeh pygmeh bunneh feets?

I must know!

73 Bryn 01.27.10 at 12:13 pm

And then after work, we’d all get together for drinks and compare the pygmy bun feet we’d measured that day.

74 Theresa 01.27.10 at 1:41 pm

@AuntieMame, and what about Naomi??

75 Lynn 01.27.10 at 1:55 pm

OMG! I want one. lol!

76 mztique 01.27.10 at 2:09 pm

OMG!! i’ve never seen a rabbit that small before. makes me wanna get one now. too cute!

77 Kelli 01.27.10 at 3:07 pm

*clears throat*

PYGMY PYGMY.

78 Melissa 01.27.10 at 3:50 pm

Kelli, you’ve doomed us all! OoO;

And, oh my gosh. TEH QTE. I am dead from it. Bunnehs! ♥

79 Bo Babbyo 01.27.10 at 5:24 pm

What about bebbeh peegmeh bunnehs? You just might not survive.

80 corianne 01.27.10 at 7:42 pm

Disapproving* buns: Now pocket-sized for your convenience.

* disapproval levels may very.

81 Heather 01.27.10 at 10:06 pm

OMG LOOK AT THEIR CHUBBULAR BUNNY BUMS!!!!

82 Hon Glad 01.28.10 at 1:10 am

Katrina – I’m as despondent, as a newly widowed Dik – Dik
I’m as jumpy as a puppet on a string
You could say that I have spring fever, but it isn’t even spring

I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a Nightingale without a song to sing
Oh why should I have sping fever
When it isn’t even spring

83 Janni 01.28.10 at 1:19 am

It had to happen. I actually saw a bunneh I would like to snorgle. No bunny has ever accomplished that before.
Cute!

84 corbunzo 01.28.10 at 8:08 am

For a minute there I thought the woman was going to file the bunneh’s toenails.

85 Jory 01.28.10 at 11:17 am

I must object to this rule. There is a car in my town with the license plate- BUTPYGMY. As interesting as it is, it’s not cute.

I asked the driver once, it is a reference to a quote of some obscure famous person: “We are but pygmies in the eyes of god.”

[Well, I LOL'd. :lol: - Ed.]

86 Nicolo 01.28.10 at 8:29 pm

Bunneeeeeeeeeehs!!! Zip! Zip! ZEEWM!!!

87 Mew Mew Mew I has cute 01.30.10 at 1:49 pm

What about dwarfs? I have a dwarf rabbit as we speak :3 ykwim

88 Wombatish 02.01.10 at 7:56 am

The way they wheel around in the hands is just :D :D :D
