The Secret of Spaghetti Cat

Has anyone heard the legend of Spaghetti Cat?

Okay, here's the scoop, as found originally on The Modern Materialist website. This sh*t is gold, Jerry. Seriously. It can't get any funnier on a Tuesday.

There’s a clip making the rounds surfacing from a New York FOX morning show called the Mike & Juliet Show where, during a segment about young women binge drinking, a picture of a cat eating spaghetti was inexplicably played. The original clip:

*wipes tears from eyes*

It doesn't matter how many times I see it, I still laugh.

Sources say the picture was totally, one hundred percent played on purpose. Apparently, an anonymous Mike & Juliet staff member reports spaghetti cat was originally from a segment on their Pet Talent Show. This particular cat ate spaghetti with a fork, but when the cameras were on, it completely froze up. As one can appreciate, this made the people working on the show laugh… A lot.

Cut to several months later and the staffers are talking about the Dump Button. TV shows, I'm told, have a five second delay in the event something goes wrong--a lawyer sits in the control booth, and in the event someone swears or falls or goofs or whatever they'll hit the button which cuts the audio, and goes to a different camera.

Normally, when they hit the button, it would cut to a shot of Times Square or the audience. But the Mike and Juliet staff thought it would be hilarious to cut to the shot of the Cat Eating Spaghetti, and, when the girl in the segment cursed, that’s exactly what happened.

*sigh*

Such genius.
