Hey animal lovers, Gen X'ers, and anyone older than the ripe age of 45. Do you have your reading glasses on? Can you see this okay? How is your first experience on the internet going so far? If this is where you're starting, we have some unfortunate news to tell you: it only goes downhill from here. These vintage animal memes were around during the peak time of the internet, so anything other than this is just filler. There's nothing like the good old days, right?

Get ready to laugh your heart out (make sure you took your medication before this) because these nostalgic animal posts pack a big punch of funny that will knock you back to the 1980s. So strap on your favorite pair of cargo shorts, tuck those shirts in, and have a great weekend with some help from these silly animals that know how to tell a joke. Enjoy!

    xstayspooky: joshpeck: this isn't the dog park This is the most important thing I've seen in a while
    via xstayspooky

    How this doggo ended up amongst this raft (the correct term for a group of otters), we can't even imagine. Was it herding the otters? Can you even herd otters? And if so, why would one need to herd otters?

    We pledge allegiance, to the doggo, of the goofy golden variety. And to its pack, for which we pet, on house, full of puppies, lots of cuddles, with puppy kisses and snuggles for all. That's how it goes, right?

    armouredswampert: agelfeygelach: little-yogi: It's a cute little thing though. Sometimes it is hard to remember that owls are incredibly dangerous predators seen by cultures throughout the world as ill omens. Especially when they look like toasted marshmallows. My boss once described them as flying pillows filled with seething hatred. ohmygodtiss Source: little-yogi 966,825 notes
