1. It's just like anything else
Some are funny, some are not. If you don't like cats or "cute" humor, you're not going to like LOLcats...

2. after the first 50 pages
I get a headache. I'm not sure whether its the graphics or the laughing. It only happens when someone is staring over my shoulder.

Cats plainly and simply rule. Dogs eat their own shit. Any more questions?

5. Ha!
I couldn't have put it better myself...To me even asking the question is lolcats funny is akin to asking is Spinal Tap funny....only those with a limited sense of humor would find either unfunny....:P

69. Stop it! Dogs are awesome!
As a species, we would've gone extinct a long time ago if we hadn't formed our alliance with canis familiarus. And as for cats, they're the cutest, most cuddly sociopaths in the animal kingdom. They kill rodents. Nuf said, for that alone I'd love them.

The worst, most heinous species on the planet is those nasty primates, homo sapiens (IOW, us). No other animal fucks up their own environment or kills without reason the way that we do. Agent Smith was right in "The Matrix". We are a virus, not a mammal!

I loathe cats. They are infernal beasts for which I have no use. However, I do laugh at about 80% of the lolcat pictures I see.

But you really should have waited for the 3rd "Isle of Lucy" to chime in before proceeding. Bad form. TZ will administer the punishment. As if you didn't know. As if you cared. As if you didn't plan it that way from the beginning.

Please pay closer attention next time. Now, I leave you to DuStrange and his choice of punishment. Pray it isn't....

15. I feel like the only sober person in a room full of drunks.
My husband and his sisters get HYSTERICAL
over them.

I'm no more that MILDLY amused.

It pisses them off, actually, but I can't help it.

Pictures of cats or dogs with misspelled words?
Sometimes the pictures are cute, BUT they don't
warrant the GUT-BUSTING response they elicit from
some people.

Some people just don't "get" Gary Larson's humor. I think LOLcats are akin to it.

You don't really like cats, either, do you?

I go to ICanHasCheezburger way too many times a day, looking for a new LOLcat fix. Yes, I'm an addict. And a cat fud server to three kittehs, who I just KNOW are talking like the LOLcats when I'm not around.

And for those naysayers...

"My brother...he speshul."

I sent that to my oldest daughter, who could relate with the sentiment.

I am so glad I found LOLcats. I have it bookmarked and look at it almost daily. Never fails to make me laugh.
