Once a week we’ll get a “tip” that just includes a link to some new St. Louis blog and we’ll check it out, be unimpressed and then get back to what important stuff we were doing, like reading a book (which is code for trying to get Jaleel White to retweet us). Last week though was different, not because we didn’t get a link to some new St. Louis blog, but because we got the same link sent to us 25 times and when we took a look it was actually funny. The blog was “What High School Should We Call Me” (.tumblr.com) and the premise is as simple as it is effective: headline setup, pre-made gif punchline. (You know how much we love gifs!)

You can see the full commercial, with it’s unending gif-able moments in our archives. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s Friday, and we won’t tell your boss anyway.

It’s Friday and we have some more posts coming up later in the day, but first lets recap. Do this next line in your best TV announcer internal voice.

Previously on Punching Kitty…

As we’re sure you know, as of Monday we randomly decided this would be “animated gif week” here on Punching Kitty…and then somewhere around Wednesday we decided it should be “animated gif week (but only use ones we made)” after we used 90’s teen heartthrob James Van Der Beek to illustrate some White People Problems:
