  Reminds me of this one, that I must watch every so often, just because. THANKS A LOT.

  Spider cow, spider cow

  Does whatever a spider cow does

  Shoots a web

  Instead of milk

  She’s the scariest of her ilk

  Look out! here comes the Spider Cow!

• [agraham999]

  Eh…I suspected as much when I lived on the farm.

• [invictus]

  Having seen cows move, I can’t help but cringe whenever I see their legs. Cow joints shouldn’t do that!

  Anyone else with farm experience getting the same reaction?

  • [Anonymous]

    Yes! Those unnatural knee tweaks were painful to watch!

  • [agraham999]

    Never had that experience…but I always thought their legs looked impossibly spindly to hold all that weight. Then you get kicked by one and understand it’s no problem at all.

    Well, it’s really the cowspider that disturbed me more than anything.

  • [Anonymous]

    Grew up on a cattle ranch in Idaho. Leg movements creeped me out too. They are sort of moving like they have four knees which they don’t.

    First, I thought this was cute…then creepy…then slightly hypnotic… then i wanted to consider a spherical cow.

• [Cnoocy]

  Needs an umbus.

• [millrick]

  I, for one, welcome our new arachnobovine overlords.

  well, not really welcome…
  more like hide under the bed until my arachnophobia subsides

  Great, here comes another heated argument about the side effects of beef hormones.

  • [Frank W]

    @ Brainspore: You have no idea what you put in your mouth.

• [orwellian]

  Ah, so that’s what drugs are like. Huh. :-)

  • [twibbit]

    I’ve been on drugs. There was less cow mitosis. Therefore, this is better than drugs.

• [Teller]

  Beats making a donkey parasail.

• [pelrun]

  This demands more rumination.

• [Felton]

  This is now my second favorite cow-themed animation. The first, of course, is still Magical Trevor.

  • [Anonymous]

    Given that the creators are both b3tards the site must have a monopoly :D

• [Anonymous]

  While watching this my eyes began to stop focusing and the video rectangle began stretching to the right…help meee

• [Anonymous]

  There is a fine line between “cute” and “ontology-peeling k-hole”.
  That is what I said. This shaves my dendrites.

• [Phikus]

  Yeah, that wasn’t disturbing at all…

  Felton: Ok, but MAKE IT STOP!!! (Oh, and They Might Be Giants called. They want their sound back.)

  • [Felton]

    It. Never. Stops!!

    Heh. Would you believe I had to go to YouTube to hear what They Might Be Giants sounds like? I’m a little behind on this new “rock ‘n’ roll” music the kids are listening to these days. :-D

    • [Brainspore]

      …I had to go to YouTube to hear what They Might Be Giants sounds like?

      You are dead to me.

      • [Felton]

        Even if I liked what I heard?

        Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check out this band called “The Beatles” someone told me about. ;)

• [Anonymous]

  yay!

• [Anonymous]

  OHGOD COW-SPIDERS

• [Anonymous]

  I’m fine with cows. I’m mostly fine with spiders. Arachnobovines = shudder.

• [nemofazer]

  But seriously, don’t do drugs kids.

• [animwriter]

  Cowreography?

• [knoxblox]

  RealPlayer used to have an app with a cartoon sheep who would dance like this in time to the music, didn’t they? You could personalize it with different things like a bow or how many birds flew by, etc.

• [danegeld]

  This is exactly the kind of trippy shit that the BBC is going to realise isn’t in it’s mandate any more. Enjoy it while you can, guys.

  Bust a moo.
