Oh yeah, found one more:
Thank you LM, for Fucksocks alone. You are good.
The dog one is the variant with the anti-aliased second LOL superimposed over Rover's face. (I've seen it without.) That GIF in general has incredible memetic staying power--proving that a kid and dog will trump even the oldest chicken joke!
The dark side one is good--haven't seen it. Nice photoshopping of facial expressions on the kid's mouth. "You go with what you got."
The above has been found GIF shop talk.
It's that superimposed second LOL on the dog that makes me watch it over and over again.
I was once collaborating on a video and my collaborator made a weird editing/timing decision that I was so jarred by initially, and realized later how its abruptness made the piece so strong.
Most of the joke GIFs that I find bore me, but occasionally, someone hits a mark of fresh absurdity (that I sort of find humbling)
Not jokes per se but a recent one that cracks me up every time is the "real life clip" of the dog jumping out the car window into the path of another dog chasing the car at at about 40 miles per hour. (The jumping dog flips over several times when he hits the ground and trips up the chasing dog.)
Or the 70s Italo-horror movie clip of the long haired dude entering a room and "discovering a body" or what have you, then opening his mouth and wobbling his head in ever-more exaggerated expression of fright that seems will never end.
Apologies if you posted either and I missed them.
I've seen them a lot, never posted them. Some gags hit me, some don't. (I like watching cats get into trouble)
Been reading the Rhizome thread and your question list, will get to that soon. (but not really interested in getting into the rhizome fray)
You will live longer if you stay out of it. I keep going back in there like some kind of death wish.
The idiotic analogy that was made of programming to mixing paint was enough to keep me off of it.
Yes--I use that as an example of why it's *not* necessary to program ("what--you would grind your own pigments?") but those guys are conservative in every way (while claiming to worship Broodthaers).
My favorite was just a few hours ago: "I didn't mean the piece was ironic, I meant that it was *describing* irony." Wha--?
Here's a Richard Dawkins joke for Sally from b3ta in the UK.
I prefer gleefully sophomoric to ironic, especially if we must codify all this kerfuffle immediately.
um..."irresponsible use of metaphor?" (as M.Midgley said about selfish gene-ness) bring it on!!!
not just sophomoric-- GENE PUNS.
and fucksocks, a word that begs to be put in a critical essay about the irresponsible use of art blogs.
is that Web Art or Net Art?
found a good 4chan cartoon.
Just to prove that art will in fact eat itself, an animation of a pooping dog that sally did wound up, a few years ago, showing up in a montage of animated GIFs set to music from b3ta.
also, if i could post images here, I'd post this:

From Rob's link. I love the Brits.
This is one of the best post I have ever read, I would love to read more in future. Keep up the good work.
