Two Minutes of Nothing But Goats Yelling Like Humans

[octoberlib]

It's not entirely clear why it took this long for someone to put together a two-minute compilation of goats whose bleats sound like screaming humans, but let's all just be glad someone finally did.

[vduhr]

26. My brother and....

his girlfriend have goats. When they know they're going to be fed, it sounds like they're yelling "Mom!" So funny!

[UtahLib]

5. Hilarious!

I loved the one that appears to be arguing, over the fence, with the man. That seems very similar to animosity displayed, over the fence, between human neighbors.

[RKP5637]

6. Wow, simply wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Kingofalldems]

7. Here's a Jerry Lewis goat:

[Puzzledtraveller]

8. Brings back a horrible memory

My dad grew up in south Texas on a ranch, they really did slaughter their own food as needed. fast forward many,many, many years later my father along with my uncle go to a farm belonging to one of my step moms cousins. They had given my family a goat and my dad was going to slaughter it in the way he used to. So, he proceeds to take a knife and tries to cuts the goats neck for it to bleed out. Well, I guess he hadn't slaughtered goats in so long his goat killing knife was to dull and he ended up sawing at this poor things neck while it screamed so loud and so humanlike I had to leave and cover my ears. I went behind the barn and waited it out, my uncle was already there covering his ears also.

[cui bono]

22. COMPLETELY not in the spirit of this thread. :'(

[ReRe]

35. Well, I liked your story...

... as I grew up around several old great uncles who were farmers. They had some stories to tell, and that one sounds like one that they might have told... They had us kids in stitches all the time.

[ErikJ]

66. Might explain why some goats sound human

the more human they sound the less chance of being slaughtered therefor being able to more likely pass on their genes.

9. Bob's not home....

10. I loved the Italian guy arguing with

his goat. And the goat arguing back. I laughed and laughed.

[Enrique]

15. here's the whole thing

[DevonRex]

21. ROFL!!!!!

Thank you so much!!! I'm gonna send that to my cousin-in-law in Rome. Maybe I'll get a translation in reply. So hilarious!!! If it's printable and she's not too embarrassed to translate it I'll pass it along. But she won't do it if it's tooooo salty. After all it IS Rome.

[Tansy_Gold]

37. It's Spanish, not Italian n/t

[DevonRex]

44. Haha. i was just watching the hands!!!

They look like they're speaking Italian to me!

They look exactly like my father-in-law used to when he spoke. And just as fast, too.

[shanti]

27. did the ibex spit at him?

or was it a snort? funny!

[tblue37]

29. I think he spit--repeatedly. nt

[JimDandy]

49. This was the best clip.

[sasha031]

11. So cute thanks for posting

[Baitball Blogger]

12. One of them sounded like Jerry Lewis.

[Fawke Em]

13. I thought this thread was going to be about McCain and Graham

yelling about Hagel.

[octoberlib]

43. That video is called OLD goats yelling like humans. nt

[silverweb]

14. That was hysterical!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Laughed until I cried.

[longship]

16. That's what I call great Friday evening entertainment.

Goat Parteeee!

[SemperEadem]

17. That's all fake

[Stardust]

55. I'm kinda skeptical myself but I don't know goats very well...

[nolabear]

58. No, they really can sound like that. I've seen it. Well, heard it.

[madamesilverspurs]

18. Thank you!

Wish I had the tech know-how to intersperse that with some of what I've been watching from our state legislature today! Just now I muted the TV and played the goats while some GOPer flapped his gums, it was perfect!

19. Congressional hearings?

It reminded me of this scene from "Brother Bear"

20. Best video posted on DU so far.

[Ineeda]

[tuvor]

33. Same here, you beat me to it. Someone must have said the secret word! n/t

[tblue37]

61. You can hear all the chickens in the background

the poor confused thing probably thinks that's how you talk goat. Once time when I was at the SPCA i kept hearing a dog barking up in a tree, then up on a telephone pole. It turned out to be a nutty crow who was mimicking the yapping dogs at the SPCA.

[calimary]

30. God, I thought it was gonna be coverage of a teabagger gathering...

[Cooley Hurd]

31. The last clip (with the shepherd in the background) is killing me!!!!

[OneGrassRoot]

32. LOL...I should be wearing Depends...

I want to rescue goats; well, goats who need rescued, that is.

[NeeDeep]

34. If they looked human... We would have a bunch of conservatives

I guess I could just close my eyes.

[vlyons]

38. I used to have dairy goats

They are very vocal animals, not shy about telling you what they think about everything

[MADem]

39. Too much o' that, and you might start singing "Ram goat liver good fi make mannish water!"

[Initech]

40. Or as it's known between 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM, Fox & Friends.

[ReRe]

41. "Talk to the an-i-mals...".....sing it wth me...

K&R

... because laughter is the best medicine, especially here on DU! We have GOT to laugh it off folks. Let's kick and rec this, so more DUers will take note and get a good laugh too. Bless their hearts, they are "talking!" I bet we sound pretty funny to them too.

[Augiedog]

42. U.S. Senate Bengazi hearings

This reminds me of our illustrious republican Senators furiously at their messianic best.

[DainBramaged]

45. Is that the Boehner congress I hear????

[nolabear]

46. So glad you posted! I wanted to and couldn't.

What's not to love?

[bahrbearian]

47. That is too funny and too close to home

I get some of those yells in the morning.

[JimDandy]

48. It's true! How hilarious.

My son used to visit his step-mother in a small rural northern CA town. She had goats in her backyard and he said they sometimes sounded like they were talking. I can now see why.

[hootinholler]

50. Need to put one of those guys in with fainting goats

It screams and boom boom out go the lights.

[lonestarnot]

57. Wonder what pigmy goats sound like. Do those fainting goats scream? They could turn their own

lights out, no clapper needed.

[Demo_Chris]

52. Hillarious and disturbing. Very disturbing.

[Kalidurga]

53. OMG they are trying to talk...

If they are even as smart as a Republican and I think they are probably smarter, they are going to have some demands.

[knitter4democracy]

54. Some of those are sheep, by the way.

Just saying.

[Solly Mack]

56. I knew there was something missing in my life.

Not anymore!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

59. Baaaaaaahahahahahhhhaaaaaaaahahahaa!

I had to watch it again!


Rofling till I cried!

[raouldukelives]

60. Felt like I was listening to Mark Levin. nt

[arikara]

62. My favorite thread of the day

maybe even the year! I love goats, they have so much character.

[ellie]

63. I had to post this on my Facebook page

because, my god.

[emmadoggy]

65. ROFL. I did the same thing.

Except, I posted not only the one in the OP, but also the others downthread (Jerry Lewis goat and Clucking Chicken goat).

Can't get enough of them.

[emmadoggy]

64. I love all of the videos posted in this thread, but

I simply can't get enough of Jerry Lewis Goat and Clucking Chicken Goat. O. M. G. I have watched them both several times and I just laugh and laugh. This morning I played them again for my husband and we were both in stitches - just gut-busting, tears streaming, can't breathe laughter. Sometimes, things just hit you right and you are gone - this morning was one of those times.

That kind of laughter is good for the soul.
