This collection of WTF animal shots is wonderful.
The horsey ones are especially funny although I’d question the wisdom of putting trousers on one, as they’re experts in panicking, getting more tangled up and injuring themselves.
Naturally, the Pony riding Pugalier is my fave.
Although the “dog which doesn’t look like a dog” is pretty wonderful- BWAHAHAHA.

Sometimes when I need brain bleach I just scroll through Man Boobz comment threads without reading the comments, just looking for the videos they put up. I get some quality brain bleach that way. Also David finds the best videos to put in his posts, like this one of a bunch of middle-aged men dancing/strutting in the middle of the countryside:

I hadn’t seen that hoopsmeister otter yet, thank you! (I edited your comment to do some admin video magic)
Pretty sure this counts as shenanigans.
Some more brain bleach. Baby sloth style.
These two videos of Jennifer Lawrence post-Oscars are adorable.
