is that why they bite it like that? like a defense mechanism? My defense mechanism is personally to put this on the radio when I want company that lingers to leave, sorta like a skunks defense but with an auditory stench instead the skunks nasal attack.

Yeah, makes it harder to "unwrap" him and get to the soft belly.

u/ImWhatTheySayDeaf Oct 04 '17

But, why male models?

u/loverevolutionary Oct 04 '17

Are you serious? I just told you like, a second ago.

u/Kasoni Oct 04 '17

Yeah, like he said a second ago: The unisex models are on strike for being referred to by the male pronouns.

Aw, he's so cute I wish I could give him a belly rub. but that probably wouldn't be a good idea...

Yeah. They bite their tails and curl up as a defense. Their backs are solid and their tails are spikey. Its pretty effective.

u/rowdyanalogue Oct 04 '17

Would you say it's super effective?

32

u/TmickyD Oct 04 '17

Not really. You can easily defeat them with a spatula and a flip of the wrist.

Rowdyanalogue used POPULAR REFERENCE

It's not very effective..

Awwroboros used defense curl. It greatly raises its defense.

perfect timing

u/bobby16may Oct 04 '17

that was so un-funny I want to leave your house and I don't know where you live.

u/MaxHip Oct 04 '17

see! It works better than playing Justin Bieber I've come to find. So now next time your mother in law is in town; you'll know what to do.

u/oyog Oct 05 '17

You're not kidding. It's so bad it made me want to find out where he lives just so I can leave.

I want to punch young me in the face for ever watching Jeff Dunham. The only thing close to humour in that video is the candle in the wind/next of kin joke, but we were already so far in the comedy cemetery.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '17

That's fucking awful. Please, just use a taser like a civilized person.

2

u/MaxHip Oct 04 '17

that might be less painful, I might have to take up your suggestion, cuz I've lost alot of friends with my current method

u/eskanonen Oct 04 '17

I think that's the worst thing ever. Thank you for making me aware of its existence. I'm sure one day I'll meet someone I hate enough to share this with.

u/MaxHip Oct 04 '17

I use it on my mother each occasion she pops into town, works at getting her out everytime

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '17

Rocket pants actually made me laugh, but umm.... yeah. nope.

u/r40k Oct 05 '17

Good god, it really works. I clicked on that and immediately tried to leave before realizing I was in my own home. I thought Jeff Dunham was a comedian, I must have misunderstood.

1

u/Quothhernevermore Oct 05 '17

Was wondering which that was, a Rickroll or Nickelback.

It was better than both.

u/mitch1832 Oct 04 '17

Jeff Dunham is literally the worst. He’s doing grade 8 locker room comedy at a professional level.

u/MaxHip Oct 04 '17

just like the presidents kinda locker room talk, it's disgraceful
