> [@Leaffan](#): > > No, I mean I really, really, really don’t get it. > > … > > It’s a fucking cat jumping off a rail. 😕 Do you just not find it funny, or do you actually not get it? Cats are usually graceful, and the video is set to music that has a dramatic build to a climactic moment. When that moment comes, the cat misses his jump by a mile and falls with splayed, rigid limbs. The humor is supposed to come from the dichotomy between both the music and the agility of cats, and what actually happens. ---

Love that one, although as has been pointed out by many people on the Interwebs, a lot of those aren’t goats. Some of the best ones are sheep. My fave is the goat arguing with the Italian guy and spitting at him. ---

Not wanting to rain on anyone’s cat parade, but the OP’s cat jump fail is already a long time meme.

was the timing of the music with the cat peering in and out of the clothesline intentional or coincidence? anyway, the choice of music was definitely intentional - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfph3iNC-k](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfph3iNC-k) guy flying in a squirrel suit. ---

Yeah, I remember seeing that when it first came out. That has got to be one of the craziest extreme sports type of videos I’ve seen. Possibly the craziest. I just noticed there is a video of him actually wiping out and sustaining injuries (cut it just a little too close–we’re talking inches–with the edge of cliff.)
