This is absolutely hysterical. The people getting so "sad" about this need some perspective: it's a squirrel, and the guy helped him out.

How can you not see the humor?! My goodness, if this happened to a person it would be funny, but that doesn't mean that you enjoy the suffering. It's haha funny, not I would wish it upon him so that I can watch it, funny.

And oh yeah, we might not be the only animals, but we are the most important. This IS serious EATS right? We eat animals here, don't we?

I made a rbf for my student from Ghana--his response-- "This is why I love America!!"

I sincerely hope whoever taped this, did in fact help that poor squirrel. Imagine how terrified he must have been.

REMEMBER cut up those six pack rings before you throw them away and do the same with the yogurt containers. If you can't do it right then, then take them home and do it there. It takes less than a minute to cut up the rings and slice yogurt containers.

We're not the only animals that share this planet, we just act like we are.

I saw this on one of those overcaffeinated morning shows. The hosts were all laughing but all I could think about is how sad it was that the squirrel had to deal with that in the first place and how the video should be taken as a commentary on how much plastic we make and improperly dispose of.

Yogurt cups in particular have lately started to rub me the wrong way - especially since they are often not accepted for curbside recycling (I'm looking at you, NYC) and so many people eat yogurt almost daily.

I understand why people would find the vid humorous, but the sadness trumped the laughs for me.

This is not funny, but I could not stop laughing. Maybe I am twisted.

Just saw a video the other day with a cat getting his or her head stuck in a yougurt cup. Seems they are the new six-pack plastic rings! Wonder how to best dispose of them?

xPETA won't approve of this.

I have to add that when I saw the video on TV, it was reported that the photographer removed the yogurt cup after filming. And I meant to say Alma Mater earlier -- Alma Matter sounds like an Indian dish.

Eek! I recant!
I guess my computer gave me issues--did not see the beginning disclaimer!
My click took me straight to the video.
I am sorry.
I still don't like to see it here, but I am no longer fussed over the sad animal part.
Forgive me SE!

This is awful.
I see no mention of the squirrel removing the container itself or of the person filming it removing it...did I miss something?
Otherwise this is just a really sad video of an animal in peril.
Shame. I really really hope this is the last time something like this shows up on here.

I have to say, I love squirrels, and I just couldn't stand the sight of him so helpless! I hope the person who took the video helped him afterward. Imagine having your head stuck in a vat of strawberry yogurt. Ick.

The local "vintage burger diner" serves up Dad's root beer with a solid cap of soft-serve vanilla ice cream, and FIRM instructions as they hand it over "Do NOT push the ice cream down. Just eat it." Of course, hubby didn't hear that part as he took the order- our own personal carbonated geyser!

My favorite float is made with Breyer's Peach ice cream and Red Rock ginger ale. This is a very spicy ginger ale, and the sharpness of of it contrasts really well against the creaminess and sweetness of the ice cream. I've found that the creamier ginger ales lack the personailty to provide that contrast. That said, in my opinion Schweppe's is the best of the readily available ginger ales (over, say, Canada Dry and Vernor's) for this purpose. Some of the ginger beers on the market can also make for a nice pairing.
