Baby otters are comedy geniuses.

In the 80's, bears that emoted through their stomach tattoos were popular. So as a kid, I didn't want to just be the funniest person alive, I wanted the Care Bears to think I was funny, too. Because if a Care Bear thought I was funny, that must mean I'm really funny.

I no longer care too much whether or not Care Bears would think I am funny. I found a new standard of which I measure comedy. Not man, not woman, but baby otter.

That's the "What Mom Never Told You" podcast theme in the video from How Stuff Works. Their podcast on Nancy Drew rocks so hard.

Baby otters are comedy geniuses. They must be. After hanging out with Care Bears, having someone laugh at something I've done as non-stop as I do when watching baby otter footage has got to be one of the most intoxicating goals I have. It's so impossible, but what if?  What. IF!

Man...what if they replace Andy Samburg on SNL with a baby otter?  Don Pardo would saying, "Featuring...Baaaaaby Otterrrrr!" and everyone would be talking how they totally discovered Baby Otter by hanging in until the very end of the show, and then Baby Otter will get this slow, loyal fanbase until its franchise. Imagine, being in a theater for two hours laughing non-stop at the brilliant comedic stylings of Baby Otter!

Baby Otters are funnier than us all.
