the fainting goat

fainting goat

Back when I was in college, there was a “certain kind” of video all the guys in my apartment used to watch. I think you probably know the kind of video I’m talking about: fainting goat videos. This specifically is the QuickTime movie that used to send us all into helpless paroxysms of glee. OK, it still does.

However, in my search for the original fainting goat movie, I have come across this video, which examines the fainting goat phenomenon quite comprehensively and I suspect will be known to future generations as the ‘Citizen Kane’ of fainting goat movies.

Enjoy — and keep in mind, while no goats were harmed in the making of these films, mind your umbrellas all the same.

    I have a similarly tragic condition in that I faint at the sight of excited goats. Please don’t ask me how I discovered this. Please.

    Damn. Now I wanna open a pub, just so I can name it “The Fainting Goat.”

    But maybe it’s the beer talking…

    The fainting goats were featured in a segment on Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel.

    Then again, maybe it was a setup… Mike Rowe tends to make females of all species swoon.
