Dramatic Audition

We have a new candidate for the Redonk Dramatic Society, in this shocked hamster. Enjoy it here in its pure form, before the inevitable music is added:

Sender-inner Gail throws down the gauntlet: “If anyone can see this and NOT watch it 10 more times, I’d like to know. Eventually I ran out of ideas on what this guy was saying: ‘For me?’ ‘You’re kidding!’ ‘You said what?’ ‘Really?’ ‘No way!’” Surely you, dear reader, can think of more.

    Cuter than cute. But dis is no hammie … ratling! Watch for peep of tail on the ta-da.

    • spb says:

      Ooooh, you might be right. Good eye. There’s def a lot more tail there than a little hammy tailio. (And I know my hammy tailios.)

      In fact, if you play the video and stop it before it ends, it will say right there that it’s a rat. (Albeit, a baby rat doing an impersonation of a hammy.)

  17. Angel says:

    OMG! I’ll never be able to unsee that!!!

  18. lindsayb says:

    If I could, I would steal this mouse and keep him in my pocket, close to my heart, all day. Every so often I would peek in at him and he would look back at me, all surprised, like in this video. Eventually, people would see me giggling at my pocket all day and naturally assume that I had gone insane. But that’s ok.

    • O NO He/ She/ It DI-unt!!! says:

      oh, Victoooooooreia ….. (giggle) you and lindsayb just *might* have some common personality characteristics ……

  19. Shaz says:

    Having now watched it 10+ times, I think my favorite element (after the look of surprise, of course) is the little wobble the hamster does upon switching directions. :)
