I frankly don't know why this has an Imdb page, but then again, this old Internet meme was consider relevant enough to also warrant its own internet Wikipedia page, so here we are.
For those who are too young to remember, the "Dramatic Chipmunk" was a brief clip from a Japanese show edited to a dramatic musical cue just at the moment when a praire dog was doing a weird face while staring at the camera, becoming a huge internet hit back then, having thousands of reuploads, parodies and alternate versions everywhere online.
It was big enough to be referenced in South Park (Though by that time, the meme was already losing its popularity)
Dramatic Chipmunk comes from much simpler times, when brief clips of cute animals acting weird was enough to capture the attention of the whole internet (Think about stuff like Lolcats)
I guess that compared with modern internet memes, which are either nonsensical, or way too politicized (Often made out of spite in order to "own" the other side), this little praire dog feels way more wholesome and authentic.
I frankly will take old memes above the awful content made by the so-called "influencers" from TikTok or artificial intelligence garbage regurgitated by bots.
After a recent rewatch, I have to admit it made chuckle a bit.
