I love longcat & tacgnol!

It's not just cats that can be funny

Ze evolution of lolcats on Fark (estimated)

2001-2002
- Original Cliché Kitten that god strikes down with masturbation becomes popular
- Pancake bunny

2002 - 2004:
- increased cliché use of:

Kitten with machine gun


Hands up!! kitten

- 4-Chan & YTMND develop the popularity of image macros, particularly O RLY? and they spread to the rest of the internets via places where 4-chan nerds and other people come together (maybe SA, and YTMND, b3ta, maybe Fark, I don't know; I can't stand 4-chan)

- the thread about the cat and lipstick on the bunghole popular as Fark reference

late 2005 to early 2006:
- O RLY owl becomes most popular image macro
- Cute Overload launches (nov/dec 2005?), cementing its position as the most popular blog for cute animals with baby talk added over the next few months
- ceiling cat first watches you masturbate, early 2006

mid-to-late 2006:
- many weird blogs get popular of people dressing up their animals, more widely known on myspace
- Hitler cats
- Cat macros begin to fill the huge void left by owl macros & popularity is boosted by the cuteness of kitties

jan 2007:
- i can has cheezburger launches, becoming a non 4-chan platform to launch the macros
- links from funny cats + online communities + other blogs make i can has cheezburger huuuge

april 2007:
- conventional media blogs notice the trend (anil dash, gawker)

july??? 2007:
- rick romero will probably be reporting on lolcats.

Pluerick wins.

I'm guessing the pic that eviljimbo posted is a hairless cat...trying to cool his schweaty bawlz.

Quick someone post ceiling cat

Best thread ever.

eviljimbo Thank you for the laugh.

/Final @ 3. Not want.

Death_Poot: And the crying Picard cat. Does anyone have it?

Lanksalot: Quick someone post ceiling cat

Blame stretta for making this, blame me for posting it.

I second WinnipegDragon. Dead, rotting cats push the envelope a little too far.

for everyone that asked:
its a sphynx cat (well its balls mostly, but thats what it is)

not mine, id like one cause they look farking evil as hell, but $1500 seems a little excessive...

I love the owl and cat threads...yay!

Jack31081, IXI Jim IXI, SoreWinner, for good or for awesome and pluerick made me laugh out loud - I'm getting strange looks from co-workers.

eviljimbo - WTF is that?

I'm in ur thread, being anthropomorphized....

Ceiling Cat is cool, but I also like Window Toad for a refreshing change.

Just send them the pictures...they'll understand :D

The ceiling cat I posted is courtesy of K3rmy, in my favorite thread of all time:

eviljimbo: its a sphynx cat


I think that's some kind of snake.

What a refreshing new concept. A cat thread.

I love this thread. I am going to buy a cat.

Too true, Pisstoff, too true. But KEEP IT COMING, folks! This shiat is keeping me sane at work today.

eviljimbo
Great.

Now I have to explain to the entire office why I am laughing so hard.

eviljimbo: I'm on ur monitor - Coddling my eggs...

i'm sorry but I STILL don't see how that thing is a farking cat, it looks like a miniature walrus

Again, could someone post the 'snipin elvez' cat?

/please
//pretty, please
