Its just like taking pre existing art forms, pop art, surrealism and turning it into cats with quotes, its more like one of those gimmicky things where you have homer simpson instead of Marlyn Monroe in that famous Andy Warhol picture (dont know the name, just the one where its lots of images of her face in different colours).
Something a teenager would put up a poster of on their wall.
It's amazing how these rich, unfunny snobs try to "explain" what lolcats are... There's no explanation.. It just is... And to pass it off as art just tells you how stupid and desperate these "artists" are... Stop repainting "lolcats" and start thinking up something original.
Rich? O rly? I'll take unfunny, I'll even take snob, as those are both matters of perception, but you have no foundation to assume that because they're showing art in a gallery show they're rich. Also, lolcats are hilarious and lolart make perfect sense to me. In short, criticism, yr doing ir rong :P
On 11/11/08, the video appears to have been the target of a "rage attack" (don't know how else to call it), as the video had about 50 ratings at an average of 4.5/5 stars before today and now has about 90 ratings at an average of 3.5/5 stars as the day draws to a close, not to mention a barrage of hateful comments against the video, some of them so profane and vulgar that they sounded borderline evil and were swiftly deleted for posterity of the video.
It sounds very much like a /b/ thing from 4chan. They often link vids they find frustrating and challenge eachother not to rage while watching it. I can kinda understand, as the people in the vid are annoying as hell, but the event looked like fun.
Links on /b/ that are viewed on the site for only a few minutes can bring in dozens of views here.
/b/ rage. Considering this whole fad spawned from 4chan and SomethingAwful and has been driven into the fuggin ground by rip-off sites and the retarded people seen in the video, it causes rage in those who see their fad raped and left wet on the floor.
No, the point isn't to spell as many words wrong as possible, that's not it at all. I'm not going to explain how to do it either.
You guys are all totaly doing it Wrong. Lolcats are hilarious because they are REAL images being Captioned with human ideas, not Artistic renderings of cats, real or fabricated, making a human emotion, and captioning it.
It's like making a painting of blueprints for a house, it doesn't work.
To whoever is posting so many messages of appalling vulgarity with respect to this video, I will not allow such inappropriate use of language to be associated with this video, and I will delete those comments without question. Please stop.
Beaths turning a urinal on it's side and signing your name on it too. Damn you, Duchamp! Lolcat art may not be "high art", but it looks fun and creative.
Well put. I don't really think of lolcats as high art either, but it just might be a step in the right direction. No harm in making people laugh a little and brightening their day.
lol what dorks! taking lolcats to such a high level..but its cool...they can do what ever they want and if its helping charity that's cool too..although you'd think it go to animals *shrugs*
It was nice to see this, I was one of the artist's in the show but was unable to go in person, so it was nice to see how my art was displayed and the nice turn out at the show. Thanks for posting this. :)
jawohl danke, aber ich bin irgendwie traurig weil ich total einsam bin

I don't care what anyone says. LOLcats are hilarious, end of story.
There's no need to argue over it. Either you find the humour of them amausing, or you don't. And get over it.
Either way, it's good that this art show raised money for adult literacy. :)

Hey, it beats putting a crucifix in a bottle of your own piss and calling it art. At least lolcats takes a modicum of creativity and imagination.
