Coming in at # 10: The New Face of Disapproval

I never thought I’d see a pup out-do a bunny in the disapproval depahtment, but it happened on May 6 of this year. Mai N. sent in ”Pancake” the new face of DISAPPROVAL. Bunnies everywhere need to step up their game.

Scale of Disapproval: 5 out of 5

9th most popular post this year was: Waffles

On May 31, 2009 we met Waffles the kitteh. Waffles was photographed by LOL, Wary Meyers and sent in by some hooligan named Bling Blong. Waffles was your typical kitteh until he suddenly he crossed paths…

With a bee!

At #8: The Squirrel Bomb

We will always remember August 10, the day a squirrelio photobombed this nice couple’s vacation. We’ll never forget the Squirrelizer meme that was born.

#6: Why is My Lunch Eating My Lunch?

On June 18, Stephanie N. took a minute from cutting herself to send us this awesome shot, an emotional bunneh:

Emo Bun is going to put on his skinny jeans and play guitar in the garage.

Life is hard for Emo Bun.

Coming in at #4: Scratch scratch scratch, Surprise!

Sent in by Jorden C. on November 29, this one went to all the siblings out there that torture each other. “Why are you hitting yourself!? Why are you hitting yourself!?”

#2: Obvy created by Japanese scientiiiists [singsong]

On August 12, Mary N. sent in these little Pikachu dudes, called “モモンガ” (Momonga). Obviously these ani-pals were meticulously crafted in the Secret Mt. Fuji Lab of Japanese Cuteness:
