It's not often that YouTube videos get their own FaceBook group dedicated to appreciating its magnificence. So when we discovered that the following clip has begun to become an internet phenomenon, we knew we had to bring it to your attention.

Firstly, from the FaceBook group's introductory blurb.

It has come to our attention that the Internet can now retire. This five second video of the Dramatic Chipmunk is the funniest thing ever in the history of anything. As a citizen of Earth, you are duty-bound to spread this hilarity to all you know. It is also a handy email reply to all manner of situations:

"Will you be coming to dinner tonight?" (As asked by someone you really don't want to have dinner with.)

You can say: "Well, I would love to, but who knows how things might turn out? (insert Dramatic Chipmunk)."

"Hey, did you see the Sopranos finale yet?"

You can say: "Yes! But this has more suspense and release than the entire 68 hours of the Sopranos. Don't you think? (insert Dramatic Chipmunk.)"

"So, get those test results back yet?"

You can so: "No, and thanks to you I feel like this: (insert Dramatic Chipmunk.)"*

etc.

*possibly ill advised.

And now? The clip itself.

Thank you for the heads up, Elmo.
