Puppy Bowl VIII Is Coming: Resistance Is Futile. Prepare For Your Doom

The New England Patriots, my football team, is going to the Super Bowl. I therefore heartily recommend that you watch. However, if football is not your thing, then there is absolutely no excuse for you to not watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. For those who don’t know, the Puppy Bowl is an orgy of adorableness, wherein they take a pile of puppies, put them in a miniature football stadium, and let the cameras roll. Sure, there are a few new gimmicks every year, but really, it’s just about a bunch of roly-poly little pups scrambling around and pigpiling on top of each other.

It’s almost evil, it’s so cute. I’m convinced it’s some sort of sinister plot, but it doesn’t matter. I am unable to resist their charms. There have been several Super Bowls where I’ve almost completely forgotten about the game and ended up transfixed by the Puppy Bowl (most notably Super Bowl XLI, because seriously, fuck the Colts). You cannot resist them. You cannot be saved. Puppy Bowl is coming, and it will bring about your utter destruction. Abandon all hope.

Anyway, the little darlin’ above is named Augusta, and she is but one of the horrifically cute puppies participating. Take a look at for the full lineup over on Animal Planet’s website. It’s terrifying… ly sweet.

Here’s a little taste of what you’re in for:

Don't forget the all-important KITTEN HALF TIME SHOW!

Kittens!

Disco balls!

Random pieces of string thrown about willy-nilly!

Can it get any better?

I live for Puppy Bowl each year. The best parts come toward the end of each quarter when one of them is just exhausted and falls asleep on the field.

At the 0:18 mark one pup vomits all over the turf- either that or one of the other puppies had a shitstorm and he thinks its just dee-lish.

Just like human football players, it seems some puppies can't take the pressure of the big game.

I'm sorry. I know it's cute and awww and warm and fuzzy but all I can think of is how it must smell like pee.

Nah. It smells like 'Owest' spray (blech). Febsreez for the win on stinky situations.

Yep, someone had the serious poopies on the field. Blowout!

Rare breed alert. The black shorthaired black with tan and white? Entlebucher
Sennenhund. They're insane.

Oh wow. Monday morning and I'll be watching Puppy Bowl replays for hours.
This doesn't not bode well for the workload.

Sigh. Giants vs. Patriots.

I might watch the Puppy Bowl in its entirety this year.

They don't seem to have saluki puppies. Though that's probably because there are never saluki puppies at breed rescue; most saluki puppies come from breeders' kennels directly. In fact, I can't remember ever seeing a saluki that wasn't full grown.

Love that they're showing pit bull puppies playing happily with other dogs! Yay!

Posted by: PerpetualIntern at January 23, 2012 2:33 PM

1. Saluki is a fun word to read, as well as say.

2. There was serious lack of Old English Sheepdogs as well. What this world needs is more dogs that look like Muppets.

Puppies represent all that is good in the world, and thus I have a hard time believing that there is any overlap at all between the Puppy Bowl audience and this year's Super Bowl. Because seriously...the Patriots, the Giants, and all persons and things related to either team? Pure evil.

No Vick jokes? OK...

I haven't been keeping up with the NFL at all. I had no idea it was Giants vs. Patriots. That fucking rules. I pretty much just watch the Super Bowl every year. The Giants ruining the Patriots perfect season a few years ago was the greatest game I'd ever seen.

When I'm not cheering with what little vocal chords I have left for whoever is going to destroy the Patriots? What? The Giants? shit... who ta hate, who ta hate... Go Giants!?

Posted by: Protoguy at January 23, 2012 4:53 PM

Yeah, no more puppy bowl for me. I had 5 large on the springer spaniel to cover and that little bastard just laid right down on me. Do any of you know the vig a puppy bookie charges? It ain't puppy chow let me tell ya.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at January 23, 2012 5:15 PM

I freakin' LOVE the Puppy Bowl.

Posted by: Jelinas at January 23, 2012 7:44 PM

That cornerback puppy was totally dissing the wide receiver puppy. I thought a fight might break out.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at January 23, 2012 8:29 PM

Because, seriously, fuck the Patriots.

Seconded.

Posted by: FabMax at January 23, 2012 10:41 PM

You have to watch Puppy Bowl before the game to save yourself from the inevitably insanely stupid Super Bowl pre-game show. (I'm a Giants fan, but if I have to hear about Victor Cruz and his salsa dance for the next two weeks (just one example), I'm going on a nationwide killing spree.)

Also, Kitten half-time show >>>>>>> Madonna half-time show.

In conclusion, seriously, fuck the Patriots.
