I just watched this a half dozen times in a row. This is so hilarious, and it makes me feel like we live in a mixed cartoon universe, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

This is HILARIOUS! I, too, cannot stop with the clicky-clicky...

LOL! This needs to be number 1.

I foresee use of this in many forum posts, everywhere

For some reason this had me laughing, love it!

I wanted to upvote this video so much that I created an account in order to do so. I started laughing quite a bit after repeated viewings.

I agree with BoneyD; This clip seems like it's destined to become a viral video!

Rofl - that would make a good .gif avatar.

So good that even those with dialup can enjoy this.
Upvoted.

i saw this originally as an avatar a few weeks ago and would watch it over and over and over and crack up each time. i just watched it now ONCE and am in tears already. the title and music adds so much more to it.

LOVE IT

I too saw this as an animated Gif originally a few weeks ago (http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/panandzoom.gif) and thought if this were a Youtube video it would go straight to number 1. It looks like it's on the way.

BRILL-YANT.

Someone in this thread is........ A MURDERER!!!!!!

HAHAHA, must share...

@ ren

well, in total it's only 5 seconds long but I get what you mean

So this is (probably) what it takes to become a top 100 video....

wow, this is better than oh noes, hell this even beats O RLY... this meme is going to explode the internet, i expect.

I read in the YouTube comments that this is the one who masterminded 9/11. I think I'll go put that in Wikipedia now.

Pure Neural-Glee!!!! get your dose TODAY!

This is so fitting seeing this since I kicked all my kid's gerbils into the garage tonight.

You kicked gerbils?? Nice!

Figuratively. I decided to move the gerbil town (about 5 habitats of various sizes and fun little features, connected with tubes) into the garage w/ the rabbit.

*gerbilpunting

"you wanna shove me where?"

Ok, if it makes you all happy..I'll go out and drop kick one

After all the bourbon I've just drank, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

note: alcohol is not an effective sleep aid

did the gerbils manage to evade often, or their prison was a fortress?

I'm standin' here. You make the move.
You make the move.
It's your move.
Don't try it, you f***.
You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
Then who the hell else are you talking-- You talking to me?
Well, I'm the only one here.
Who the f*** do you think you're talking to?
Oh, yeah?

"One million dollars"

It needs his paw up to the corner of his mouth.

Looris, sometimes they get out, I don't know how. Last week the kids were trying to find one that was out and my daughter unknowingly sat a large plastic bin filled w/ toys on it. Later I hear the shrieks from my son that finds him. The back half of it was flat as a pancake! (I have to admit it looked hilarious) Poor thing.
The # one reason for moving them, is the cages are smelly.

Maatc, you struck gold w/ this one.

Oh. My. GOD.

Here is the original source from where the cute little prarie dog is from..

what this turned into is some funny shit.

I'm coining a Sift-term: YAIVT (Yet Another Inappropriate Viral Tag). The FAQ defines viral as "clever commercials promoting a product or service designed to proliferate a marketing campaign through entertaining video." This isn't advertising or promoting anything.

What you refer to is viral marketing, this however is viral video. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_video

I would like the FAQ updated to include both since they really don't need two separate channels.

Ok, EVERYONE will hate me for downvoting, but I'm sorry I just can't upvote it. I watched it several times and it didn't make me laugh (I don't know why I can see the humor too.) and just about any bloke with a camera and a couple stab music clips can do this. I know I'm a horrible person and hell hath no furry like animal lovers scorned. Forgive me.

I LOL every single time!

So this is (probably) what it takes to be a top 25 video of all time...

http://www.boingboing.net/2007/06/21/dramatic_chipmunk_se.html

haha!!

Haha, Deathcow had a Leslie Nielson Airplane moment. I love that guy.

Funny pic, Ant

gorgonheap i salute your bravery and courage.

Yes I am referring to viral marketing... and that's what the viral tag refers to. There's no reason to tag anything as a viral video because everything here would fit that definition.

you don't know what are you talking about. How ON EARTH you dare telling us what a tag "is about". You don't know it, so please stfu.

viral tag refers to a lot of things including, but not limited to, marketing (in general) and memes.

The personal attack was uncalled for. The definition given by the site for the viral tag is that it's for viral marketing, which is what I pointed out, so it would seem I do know what I'm talking about. It's not like I said "Hey douchebag, RTF FAQ. This shit shouldn't be tagged viral." I pointed it out politely.

PERHAPS if I "randomly" capitalized some words while RANDOMLY putting OTHERS "in" quotes, it will make you feel MORE COMFORTABLE and you will no longer FEEL "compelled" to curse at me.

1) Grab a few seconds of rodent video 2) loop at creative place, 3) Internet gold!

@xxsomethingxx: no. grspec already explained you why the tag is correct, but you insisted. stop it.

WTF!!!!

Forget Top15, this video is TOP 10 of all time (in 3 days no less!)

Unbelievable.

lol joe I'm sorry for you, I noticed

I say it makes it to #9

#9? lol it will reach #7 in matter of days.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we've just seen the video. What we've seen speaks for itself. The videosift website has apparently been taken over - "conquered" if you will - by a master race of overacting praerie dogs. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the amazing ukulele play or merely own the home made light saber duel. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the praerie dogs will soon be top five. And I for one welcome our new rodent overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a yet-to-receive-a-star videosift personality I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground video queue.

HAIL PRAIRIE DOG!

(i'm off to submit prarie dog video... exit stage left even...)

pleasantly surprised. i really liked the acting, edited, lighting and camerawork.

upvoted because it's funny, even if i don't want it to be. it's a classic!

#7 is 4 days on the nose. I never knew anything had that kind of vote potential. We have an available pool of 185 voters??! In a few days. it's a viral video perfect storm.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Would you really want to see this take out Jake the Great? It's good - and LOL funny, but I don't know ... #1 material? The world's a funny place.

I suspect there is an alt.prairie_dog_love news group behind this.

you know, just havin' to be the odd man out, and seeing as how rodents are funny, whenever you watch em, gotta go with the heap-

i just watched this for about the hundredth time, and it is still hilarious!

I'm not sure venture capitalists should find a ground hog getting top honors.

Wow. I'm....uhh.....I'm thinking that perhaps I shouldn't have passed on sifting this one....

wow 20 more votes to number 4! go gopher go!

lol rembar. I constantly find sifts I didn't post gaining 20-30 votes, but this is a little bit more..

hah! silly gopher! you dont even get a trophy for 7th place, you get a cream colored ribbon!
