he's the old man from stock photography not a cat scientist
I was kidding but In this specific instance Mrs Stinkles showed me that tweet last night and remarked that BOTH cats were dead ringers for our enormous cat, Monkey and we only knew for sure they weren't him because they were too small.
Here's a picture of monkey shortly before he reached critical mass.
Not sure if it's the horseshoe/burnside mustaches or the fact that he didn't know it wasn't his cat, but this brought me to literal tears.

Monster! How another pic where he's not sleeping?
To be fair, there was a doppelganger of one of my cats in the neighborhood who wore the same collar as mine and came when I called, so I almost ended up taking her home myself before realizing she was missing a striped patch on her stomach. I can understand how that shit can happen.
We lost our dog, a cocker spaniel, and when we came home from school one day a man had brought our dog back and put it over the fence and left a note.
That same day our dog came back....
Can someone explain this to me? I've seen a couple different variations of this over the last few weeks and I feel like maybe its referencing something Sponge Bob related? I think the original version of the meme was a sponge bob clip with the same music over it but is it referencing a particular thing from the show? I'm a few years too old to have watched the show as a kid.
No. She made it but referred to the incident as something to the effect of scary and uncomfortable.
That is the iron law of memes. There's the initial crop that are good and then the meme explodes and a bunch of people just make the same jokes again but worse.
True! I do think there is usually a bounce (maybe a dead cat bounce) where they get better for a time, before just completely falling off the rails. Rarely do they ever top the originals though.

If they'd cut it a second sooner before it hit them, it'd be a lot funnier. (They're apparently ok BTW)
Like the one above with the ice cracking, cutting to the funeral guys right as he looks at the camera like WTF is comedy genius. No one wants to see the outcome, really, we want to see the funny dancing guys which implies they died.
Hah, interestingly I thought the timing on the first set was absolutely awful, and it wasn't until the second crop that people actually managed to time them well. But yes, it's absolutely about the timing, you need a single moment of 'oh shit' before cutting to the funeral, otherwise it feels rushed.
This is hilarious but you can actually just press A over and over and keep the blast going forever.
There are so many reasons this shouldn't be funny, but I couldn't help but chuckle.
Yep. The cut to the funeral without showing the incident actually happen is the comedy. Your brain gathers enough information to infer what was about to happen.
That push-up one is a great example of the comedy timing in full effect.
Otherwise there's a ton of these out there now just showing people getting hurt and then cutting to the funeral. That's not funny, there's no cleverness to that, it's just a fail video with a meme ending at that point.
New to me. Audio useful but not essential.

If you know, you know
These are both pretty clever
