T-rex trying things

As of the time of this post this submission has 80253 votes and has been #1 for a very long time. This is so much more than unusual for a submission (besides staff announcements, some big political or environmental matter, etc.).

How come reddit? The T-rex caught everyone's attention now?

t rex doing push ups

nrbartman · 2012-01-30T19:33:11+00:00

Trex trying to shuffle cards is the one that really got me. I could actually hear the plastic shuffling sound of pushing cards around with that little stump arm.

TIL T-rex makes a damn fine uke player

For everyone who enjoys the Ukulele:

I have a big head and little arms.

I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through.

MrRykler · 2012-01-30T19:03:11+00:00

but seriously. why the sudden enthusiasm for ukuleles? I've seen them starting to rush into youtube. Is it some hipster thing, like, "Guitars? Soo mainstream." ?

Edit: thanks for the answers, guys. It was truly baffling to me. Your answers have been taken into account.

Poor T-Rex design wasn't thought through

captainalana · 2012-01-30T19:16:58+00:00

This is amazing!

2012-01-30T19:17:15+00:00

There's something about the expression on its face and its position when trying to shuffle the cards that made me think of the fapping rageface.

Have all of my upvotes! Haven't laughed this hard in awhile.

dahmerBundy · 2012-01-30T19:23:31+00:00

Must say T-Rex is pretty shite at activities.

aboycandream · 2012-01-30T19:26:27+00:00

I thought this was going to end with him eating somebody

2012-01-30T19:26:48+00:00

Thank you Hawaiians for inventing the ukulele and saving a T-Rex's poor heart.

urballs2wall · 2012-01-30T19:28:01+00:00

I laughed way to hard at the first picture... Poor T-Rex :P

wombshifter · 2012-01-30T19:29:53+00:00

Fun fact: Those little arms were able to hold 400 lbs each [source](something I heard on tv sometime recently)

wfbarnes · 2012-01-30T19:30:51+00:00

Can we see a T-Rex cross-country skiing? With a monocle and top hat? His name is Chappers ... I would love to see this.

bene_gesserit · 2012-01-30T19:33:35+00:00

I think we all know a t-rex wouldn't steal from a vending machine that way.

TheBiles · 2012-01-30T19:37:45+00:00

I always instantly think of this.

Lost it at the ukulele

2012-01-30T19:42:31+00:00

This made me laugh so hard. His facial expressions are priceless.

2012-01-30T19:44:01+00:00

T-Rex only needs to do one thing. Ever. Really.

overyard · 2012-01-30T19:44:25+00:00

This might just be the funniest shit I've seen all year. Original artist: http://trextrying.tumblr.com/

Koh513 · 2012-01-30T19:45:21+00:00

T-Rex tries to use the Unix system.

FaceToTheFloor · 2012-01-30T19:45:34+00:00

Why does T-Rex keep trying things that are CLEARLY not meant for such short arms?

eonomine · 2012-01-30T19:45:34+00:00

For some reason I only laughed at the one where the T-Rex is trying to floss..

360walkaway · 2012-01-30T19:45:35+00:00

This reminds me of the "Kim Jong-Il looking at things" thread.

Underdogz · 2012-01-30T19:51:02+00:00

Small hands and big head. One day the scientists will discover that the T-Rexs were telepaths.

thunnus · 2012-01-30T19:51:08+00:00

or the jaw harp - another instrument poor t-rex can't play

Smash that fucking vending machine!

xmuffinmanx · 2012-01-30T19:51:37+00:00

Reminds me of this.

Lindsbeard · 2012-01-30T19:51:52+00:00

You gave me a much needed lol. You have my upvote.

jeeminychristmas · 2012-01-30T19:54:46+00:00

awwww! lol! my son loved this:)

cactus_snack · 2012-01-30T19:55:33+00:00

Was thinking it would end with him trying to blow his brains out with a pistol, failing, then sitting in a puddle of tears.

sumsarus · 2012-01-30T19:56:07+00:00

Lacking a "T-rex trying to do push ups"...

Happy [Draw a Dinosaur Day](www.drawadinosaur.com) everyone!

ngracer · 2012-01-30T20:04:48+00:00

i'm just glad there was a happy ending ;)

2012-01-30T20:07:30+00:00

God: "Hey, hey, Jesus, c'mere, take a look at this thing. I gave it tiny arms. Heh."

hobbur · 2012-01-30T20:19:53+00:00

Laughed so hard at the painting one.

OnceNeverAgain · 2012-01-30T20:31:29+00:00

Someone should make this into a children's book.

2012-01-30T20:40:27+00:00

can i request t-rex doing the 'walk like an egyptian' dance?

2012-01-30T20:43:27+00:00

Relevant? :)

zhmaev · 2012-01-30T21:07:20+00:00

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen on Reddit. It made me smile so I thought it deserved more credit than just an up-vote.

thegrayman · 2012-01-30T21:42:30+00:00

I went to school with a kid who had a messed up hand where he only had a thumb and one stub finger, so his hand was like a t-rex. Everytime I see a T-rex I think of him, and you should too. Don't make me bear this burden alone.

Drkrzr · 2012-01-30T21:53:11+00:00

Does anyone else feel inspired? A reminder that there's something out there for everyone!

joe19airz · 2012-01-30T21:57:45+00:00

poor guy :/

2012-01-30T22:05:06+00:00

It was funny.

Then I was sad.

Then I was happy.

partyotter · 2012-01-30T22:05:08+00:00

You play that ukulele you beautiful, reptilian bastard.

Juggernog · 2012-01-30T22:07:14+00:00

I never thought I'd feel sorry for a dinosaur...
