Funny Cute Kitten
From Screamer Wiki
Funny Cute Kitten is a screamer video uploaded to YouTube on January 22nd, 2008 by a user named EmptyHero. The video shares similarities with Fat Cat or Cat Tries to Revive Girlfriend in which it attempts to lure in the viewer with something as cute as a feline. However, by the end of the video, its intentions are much more deceiving than it meets the eye.
Background
EmptyHero is a YouTube channel whose subscriber count sits at around 14K viewers. The bulk of the channel's content are bizarre edits of videos similar to the style of an average YTP. The creator itself remains active to this day with a sporadic uploading schedule ranging from a few weeks to a few months. As it stands, "Funny Cute Kitten" remains the 5th most viewed video on the channel with roughly 117K views.
In terms of the video, it is based on the popular "Cat Videos" trend that has become a staple of internet culture since its early beginnings. Moreover, the kitten shown in the video appears to be a bicolored Tuxedo Cat. With that said, this video exploits the trend to the extent of giving a fellow watcher a nasty surprise that they will never forget.
The screamer image used at the end of the video is of the Pale Lady from the well-known horror book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Specifically, the short story of the same name in Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill your Bones.
Of interesting note, the video made an appearance on the satirical website Encyclopedia Dramatica under its own article titled "Screamer."
Overview
The video pretends to be a normal video where a kitten plays with his toy, but suddenly - a picture of a Pale Lady from "Scary Stories to tell in the dark" zooms in to the screen, and shoots a laser, making the screen covered in blood (which doesn't make any sense whatsoever), besides being a screamer, the creator stated that the cat depicted in the video died, which can be seen in the description of the video itself.
