It’s Friday afternoon, and I can’t brain very well, so we’ll have animal videos. How about a drunk squirrel? This video, over a year old, has somehow been rediscovered and is all over the Internet.
Apparently this squirrel became intoxicated after eating too many fermented crabapples, and the result is hilarious (I assume it’s not ill). It’s so boiled that it simply can’t squirrel. And if it could talk, it would say, “I love you, man!”
I think it’s six sheets to the wind.
I was like that once, at my bachelor’s party.
“It’s so boiled that it simply can’t squirrel.” Cackle!
Brilliant use of “squirrel” as a verb. He’s got a lot of bounce in his step.
LOL – poor fella!
Friends, don’t squirrel drunk. This message brought to you by SADS.
Is that Squirrels Against Drunk Squirreling?
Lolz
Exactly!
That is hilarious!!!
That video ought to be set to Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.”
Drunk may be *inside* the house.
He’s doing okay, I’ve been worse.
Yeah, at least it is still mobile 🙂
I’m gonna market a line of fermented crab apple shooters to squirrels who “like to party!”
I wonder – is there a squirrel hangover. Someone will probably get a grant to study that. It won’t be from Templeton unless there is an AA connection.
Lol.. He’s feelin’ no pain!
I just found another one, with drunken critters in Africa:

Good find, Smoked…! It was a funny one. Reminds me of a Saturday night in a Montana cowboy bar
He’s lucky there wasn’t a sober fox nearby!
I know it’s a squirrel and not a skunk, but that hopping reminds me of Pepé Le Pew. But he, of course, was drunk with love…
Duuuude! Why does it feel like I’m jumping but getting nowhere?
Too funny!
Well at least the squirrel can still walk, even though it looks as if it is walking (hopping) on a treadmill.

Who is the asshole yelling at the squirrel to get him or her to move for entertainment purposes? Leave the poor thing alone; s/he was trying to sleep it off or wait it out until startled by the dog and aggressive voice.
It’s probably the same guy who uses his infernal leaf blower at 7am on a Saturday. Rake the damn leaves you loud bastard!
I heard a dog whining, and also I thought a meow?? Poor sqrl. Wonder how Philomena says suirrel?
whoops, squirrel
I have a walnut tree in the backyard that was planted by my son yrs ago.(So it’s staying) It is huge and very productive. In the fall of 2014 the squirrels began to collect and store the walnuts. The problem was that they were storing them in the breather (venting pipes?) pipes (washroom) on the roofs of two of my neighbours. The husk of a walnut will disintegrate very quickly in water and be flushed away. Walnuts SHELLS however will not disintegrate. They are VERY HARD. Both neighbours had to call in Roto Rooter and inside plumbers. Toilet bowls full of walnuts! Breather pipes nearly full. Sewer pipes blocked They were not happy but hey I don’t control squirrels. Luckily for me the tree is far from my house.
Perhaps it should not be assumed that the little crabapples have fermented and that ethanol was what made the squirrel physically impaired. There is probably not sufficient sugar in the fruits to generate a very high ethanol level, and what might be produced would mostly evaporate. What about cyanide from amygdalin in the seeds? The seeds are probably the squirrel’s primary interest. And what species of squirrel was that? A melanistic gray or fox squirrel?
I’ll drink to that!
