Funny Cute Kitten
Funny Cute Kitten is a screamer video uploaded to YouTube on January 22, 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. The video would get lost for a bit and the creator would get terminated until a Screamer Wiki user found the link for the video, accompanied by a Wayback Machine link to before the video was removed. On January 2nd, 2024, the video was reuploaded by jellerdip’s other garbage, and both links to it have been replaced accordingly.
Background
EmptyHero is a YouTube channel whose subscriber count sits at around 14K viewers. The bulk of the channel's content is 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. Unfortunately, based on the video description saying "Rest in peace little buddy," the poor kitten died at some point post-production. 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.
Overview
The video commences as an innocent video of a kitten playing with a key attached to a blue lanyard. At the 2-second mark, it then cuts to the kitten toying with its owner's finger right next to two TV remotes on the same blue bed. For the final moments before the jumpscare, the kitten tightly hugs a folded sock until an abrupt cut occurs where a picture of the Pale Lady zooms into the screen with a scream. Simultaneously, she shoots a laser from her eyes that seems to splatter on the screen, suggesting that it could be blood. This edited image of the Pale Lady remains on screen for a little bit until it fades to black, ending the video.
