Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there!

I think I hurt something I was laughing so hard!

The idiot “haha it’s so funny!” through the whole thing killed it for me. Much funnier with the sound off. Just some tinky piano music might have been better. Still, I laughed.

Having a laugh track and/or someone proclaiming that the video is funny reduces funniness by approximately 75%. I thought it was funny, but not hilarious, and I also thought that it went on too long.

You’re not alone. Between that and the lunatic cackling off-camera, I was pretty well creeped out.

Any dog with a jar of peanut butter is funny. Dogs with hands are creepy. Someone laughing and saying “Oh my god that is so funny!” is not funny.

So I dunno, this video is not that funny. Is it only funny to people who don’t have dogs to whom they can give peanut butter?

I think dogs are like kids - it’s precious when MY dog does it, it’s just lame when yours does it 😉

I had the sound off at work and it played well that way. Very well actually.

Yeah, better off without sound, I’d agree.

Didn’t have the sound up and still thought it very creepy.

…I had a different idea about what this thread was about from the title. So maybe the creepiness of this is nothing because I was expecting worse. Phew.

I thought the dog + peanut butter was funny. Dog + hands and suit + soundtrack was not so funny. Of course, I’m also amused by watching dogs playing tug of war, either with another dog or a human.

I had no sound (except thru headphones parked a couple a feet away) and thought, now _ **that’s** _ a JIF commercial.

I’m pretty easily amused, and I didn’t think it was that funny. The dog was licking and licking and licking - was that what was supposed to be funny?

As soon as Mr. This Is SO Funny started up, I turned the sound off. Much better.
