50 animals caught being total fools

Most of us love watching animals. They can bring us endless hours of enjoyment, whether they are our pets or wild animals.

Perhaps it’s their general lack of inhibitions. We humans are so caught up in worrying about what others think of us, we’re always exercising some kind of restraint.

Animals know no such restraint. If they feel like being wild and crazy or being complete derps, they just are.

So I share with you 50 times animals were just animals. Watch and enjoy.

PS. Some of the stills are from videos, so be sure to check the sources links for these crazy animals in their full glory!

1. If only

This poor kitty is on a diet. And his cruel owner eats in front of him. Kitty likes to pretend he’s taking a bite too.

2. Ecstasy or insanity

This pupper is clearly losing his mind over his find. What he’s found is a clam in the sand and he’s going crazy. I doubt that poor clam is enjoying the exuberance.

3. Help me!

This poor kitty locked itself outside. It’s now activated the video doorbell and is calling for help.

4. Damn that’s cold!

Brain freeze. You’ve probably felt it a time or two. And from the looks of this coyote drinking from a frozen water trough, the affect is the same.

5. Someone isn’t surprised

I’m guessing this cat made a habit of either trying to eat the letters on the sing or rearrange them. Maybe they’re covered in catnip.

6. It’s eyes!

That thing looks crazed. And I understand goats can do a lot of damage, so I hope they were able to replace that before it lost its grip on whatever sanity goats have.

7. Is he still watching?

Someone spotted this guy on their way to work. Flaunting his moves in a shop window.

8. At least something is moving

Not exactly a ball of energy, is he? But apparently he has enough strength to eat some snow.

9. Mixed messages

The squinty, evil eye. The goofy, stuck out tongue. Put it together and you have complete and utter derp.

10. Dogs are vicious creatures

Just look at how scary this guy is. Oh, wait! It’s clearly all an act. They are just big floof balls when they see a cookie. So easily tamed.

11. We’re home!

This is sweet and hysterical at the same time. Those dogs are so happy to be back in their homes. And they don’t care who is watching!

12. Did I hear what I think I heard?

Just in case they’re teasing me I’ll just slide over. There’s no sense in getting all excited over nothing, right?

13. I’ll just hold on to this

This guy ate his share of popcorn. He’s saved his share too, judging by his cheeks. Now they have to worry about where he will hide it in the house.

14. Is it supposed to be so difficult?

All I want to do is get something to eat. Why have they set up this obstacle course? Oh good. There’s mom.

15. This is my spot

First, isn’t that cat rather large? It’s funny that it won’t move so someone could vacuum around it, but perhaps not so funny. That cat looks like it needs some exercise. But I’m not a cat person, so I could be wrong.

16. Calisthenics

In contrast to the last post we have this cat. It’s got some crazy version of chin-ups going on, but at least it’s moving!

17. I’ll have what he’s having

This is just hilarious. Cuddled up with dad on the couch having a snack. And holding his own food like a good, big boy!

18. I got this

Paws are spread wide, giving me all the support I need. Once I clear that small mountain, I will be home. Here we go… oh, nooooo!

19. What are you talking about?

I’m trying to help you! You keep complaining about trying to keep up with everything now that you’re working from home. Now you’re talking about disciplinary actions? This is your fault for rushing through the training process.

20. That’s just mean!

That kind of looks like fingers in the water. And that poor doggo is cautiously investigating. Must be stealthy… Arrgghhh! I hope he paid his hooman back.

21. Keep that thing away from me!

Why is my hooman tormenting me with that thing? And what is it? Some kind of giant bug? Attack. Sniff. I’m going to take it and kill it.

22. Does this count?

I heard that some people think it’s rude to put your feet up on the furniture. That’s so easy for those 2-legged hoomans, but for me? At least I’m trying.

23. Taste the rainbow!

Look at this explosion of color on the wall. What could it be? And is it something I can eat? Let’s taste!

24. To the left, to the left

I bet their heads are spinning and they’re starting to get dizzy. And you have to wonder how long this went on for. So cute!

25. Play fetch!

Please? Can we play fetch? You just need to throw that—sponge. His owner says he had developed a fetch addiction, so they hid his tennis ball. He’s substituted with a sponge.

26. You can’t see me

It shouldn’t really count if you can’t see them, right? This guy isn’t allowed on the sofa and knows it. So he tries for a little subterfuge. Sneaky puppy.

27. Food hangover

Many of us have had this happen to us. It’s the holidays, a celebration of some sort, or we’ve just been binge eating for no reason. Then the food hangover sets in. This guy is suffering from a snack hangover.

28. Hysterical, but why?

Apparently, this dog does this every time she crosses the street. Her owner is bundled up, so it’s not hot pavement. There’s either a good reason, or she is just a big goofus.

29. Play time!

Did you wrestle with your siblings? This is what this reminds me of. Of course, my siblings and I had a bit more coordination than this. This is classic golden, derpiness.

30. Keeps your eyes on the prize

At least in terms of that part of the equation, this little guy is a complete winner. Even when he was tumbling back to the ground after his miss, his eyes never left that cookie. I hope he finally got to eat it.

31. I’m afraid to look away

I have no idea what that is! It has me somewhat mesmerized. And I’m so afraid of it, I’m afraid to turn my back on it.

32. Great Derp

Ah, Great Dane. Such regal, majestic dogs. Know for their calm natures but growing into those legs can be a challenge.

33. Your tax dollars at work

I’m sure this dog has gone through rigorous training. He has a very important job as airport security! And it seems it can’t find its tail.

34. Oh, tennis ball…

I adore you. Let me gaze upon you. I will worship and love you forever, and no one will replace you. I will treat you with the utmost care and… oh, crap. I dropped you!

35. Wait for it!

This dog is hysterical. First, I have Jaws music in my head as we progress up the stores, having no idea what to expect at the top. And then that face!

36. What can I say?

If you have any experience with boxers, you’re likely not surprised here. The poor thing is completely confused, even when the ball is visible again.

37. Summer fun!

This reminds me of water and sprinkler fights as kids. But I don’t think we had half as much fun as they two seem to be having.

38. What can it see?

Something has that cat spooked. And I don’t think I would be sitting there recording it. I would be worried about what it can see that I can’t. And considering hiding under the table with it.

39. Pole dancing

Poor thing. I bet that was a very private moment. You don’t want people seeing your routine until you’ve perfected it. Someone is lucky she didn’t catch them recording it.

40. Questionable motor skills

This poor husky needs to work on its gross motor skills. That’s motor skill that involve large muscle groups like the legs. His are just flailing all over the place.

41. This is so human!

Who of us hasn’t taken a tumble like this? You’re totally shamed and trying your best to be nonchalant while ignoring your friends who feel they need to discuss your slip and fall with you.

42. I wasn’t doing anything

Followed by, “It wasn’t me!” Sometimes dogs are just like kids. And apparently when caught, they figure if they move fast enough you really won’t see them in the act.

43. Caught it!

And that’s all the matters, right? How cares that he almost broke a hip, he is still trilled and likely ready to go again.

44. Is that chicken?

Speaking of derp, look at his eyes! There, from across the room, he clearly caught the scent of something the more than intrigued him.

45. Moving in!

I wish I could move like that. Be so flexible and rubber-like. And after cramming in there, they both come out and stand at attention for the camera. So cute.

46. Oh, well…

I know I’m not supposed to be in this room, but since I’ve slunk my way in, woohoo! And I’ma gonna rub myself all over the carpet. Maybe if I smell like that noisy thing, they will pay attention to me again.

47. The anti-Zen

I wonder if this dog belongs the Zen master? Either way, those boys are all so orderly and subdued while there is the equivalent of a broken windup toy behind them.

48. He’s hiding

This reminds me of when you’re a kid and you put your finger in front of your face and it blocked whoever was in front of you. And you said, “You can’t see me.” This guy thinks he is hiding behind the curtains.

49. This is just unbelievable

This pupper wants its ears cleaned. Look at it lying down and presenting an ear. And then going and getting the swab. So sweet!

50. Now you understand

Those days I used to come home from work and tell you all about my hellishly boring job. Now I have to do it at home right in front of you, and even you can’t stay awake!
