The Dramatic Chipmunk: Evolution of an Internet Sensation

Man, I loved this little guy. We all quickly discovered that he wasn't a chipmunk after all, but rather a prairie dog, but by that time, the name had stuck. Check out the multiple spin-offs this one silly critter spawned. . .

The Viral Video That Refuses to Die

We all remember the dramatic chipmunk that was really a prairie dog. There have been about a million spinoffs in the form of kittens, babies, and various movie-soundtrack montages. But this one is too much. I swear someone has that five-second melody on a tape recorder and dubs it over everything they watch.

Pop had an unexpected Beckham sighting yesterday at One Market in San Francisco. The whole clan was out to lunch. The weather was wonderful, the boys couldn't have been happier, and Becks was as yummy as can be - but someone seemed a little on edge . . . (And The Dramatic Chipmunk would be proud.)

The boys produce a viral vid and want to cash in on their success, so they report to a governmental office (which doesn't exist in the real world) to collect their pay. Of course, every Internet superstah we've ever ridiculed and enjoyed is up in that joint, waiting to be compensated for the humiliation and exploitation that comes with virtual fame. Tay Zonday and his big chocolate ego won't shut up, Tron Guy won't sit down, The Dramatic Chipmunk really needs to chill, and can someone get that sneezing panda a friggin' tissue? And for the last time, shut Chris Crocker up!

Hammie Time!

This little guy holding the tiniest bok choy I've ever seen needs some practice being more dramatic, but, in due time, he'll get the moves down just right. (Here's a hint, ham: You gotta move your head more than a microcentimeter to fully express the drama.)

Thanks, Anaisethenry!

Russia's Dramatic Chipmunk

Did I not say the Bug-Eyed Guy was Russia's answer to the Dramatic Chipmunk? Someone heard the call. (When will the madness end?)

Russians Are As Bored As We Are...

This "Big-Eyed Guy" appears to be Russia's answer to the Dramatic Chipmunk. At a recent Vladimir Putin news conference, an angry young man threw out propaganda leaflets. No one paid any attention to his message--seems everyone was too distracted by the bug-eyed guy next to him to really care. See for yourself in the gallery below. (Thanks, boingboing!)

And now the TRUE story can be told..!

Remembering "The Dramatic Chipmunk"

GiggleSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 15:00:00 -0700

He's only been famous for a week, but in that short time, this prairie dog's been places. He debuted as "The Dramatic Chipmunk" days ago, became an overnight success, then took on a series of career-making roles. But every cewebrity's 15 minutes of fame must come to an end at some point and, sadly, this prairie dog has reached his. Farewell, suspicious-looking furry friend. We hardly knew ya. We look forward to your Z-list return one day on "The Surreal Life" or "Celebrity Fit Club," but until then, here's a stroll through your greatest hits:

Boy, they didn't waste any time rolling this one out, folks! America (or people who spend too much time on the Internet) fell in love with "The Dramatic Chipmunk" who is really a prairie dog. His extreme "I know something you don't know" expression has warmed the hearts of many. Why not wear your devotion on your sleeve and chests with a Busted Tees homage to the critter?
