Your Weekend Dose of the Fugly, v2

by rachaelgking on January 10, 2009

Okay, so we all know how I love creatures and weird things and especially odd and FUGLY. So much so, in fact, that not one, but TWO of you sent me this picture:

Oh, wrinkly baby aardvark, how I love you!!! Much thanks to both of you for sending it and making my heart a little warmer. Of course, once AGAIN, B said I can’t have one. He’s such a meanie-head. I mean, maybe it would think all our dust bunnies were ants! It’d be economical and efficient! B just can’t think outside of the box like me. Wait, I just realized that aardvarks are not the same thing as anteaters. Going back to bed for more sleep now…

Anyhoosits, I also saw this commercial this week, which made me absolutely SQUEEEE for joy and do a happeee dance. If it’s really old and you’ve all seen it a million times, I apologize, but it’s new and bright and shiny for ME and that’s really what counts, isn’t it?

KassyK, this one’s for you. *WINK*

Every time I hear (or read) the word aardvark I think of Arthur the Aardvark. That was my jam in high school. Yes– I know it was supposed to be for little kids, but it was very educational!

He/she/it is so damn cute! Too bad it’s going to grow up into prehistoric, lumbering, nostril-hair-covered road kill.

I like armadillos for a fugly animal – although they definitely aren’t as cuddly-looking.

Loved the commercial. I’m unplugged, and have never seen it. There used to be one – think it was for brakes?? – I honestly don’t remember, that had a similar ‘squirrel in the road’ scene. The squirrels were daring each other to run out in the road, high-fives were exchanged, etc. I believed it.

f.B: THANK YOU.

Maxie: Arthur the Aartvark! Omg, thank you for bringing back that memory.

emmajames: He/she/it, EXACTLY. You nailed it.

Fiona: Fugly is the new Sexy!

Connie: I remember that other commercial! It was adorable as well, even if squirrels are just rats in cuter clothing.
