I'm surprised this hasn't been posted to MeFi before now... I've been following the guy for about two weeks and it's all adorable.

Poor guy. The ukulele one always makes me think of metafilter.

Yeah, this has been making me foolishly delighted for a while now. That and drawastupidanimal.

I wouldn't be surprised if this blog was inspired by Dan Telfer's best dinosaur routine: "T-Rex? I get it buddy, but I want you to really, really thoroughly image map that dinosaur in your brain and imagine it trying to open a fruit cup."

Last night I insisted on a hug from my husband "in the style of.... I AM A ROBOT, AND YOU ARE A T-REX. Ok....now........ HUG!!!"

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Makes you appreciate the human body, that's for sure. Look what we can do with these arms and fingers! They bend every-which-way! Look at what I can do with my thumb! That's right... hold a spoon with it!

The exponential growth one brought forth a chuckle.

T-Rex trying to block a field goal is truly a masterpiece.

It's an entire Tumblr of the t-rex hates pushups joke! This is cute and funny and I <3 it.

I think his arms are too short.

But T-Rex already gets too much screen time. Is there a similar blog starring Utahraptor?

No MeFi brand snark about trying to get a book deal by hammering the same joke forever? I guess it's early.

T-Rex trying to hunt from a tree.

This reminds me of a song I heard many years ago... Thank you, interweb. I present: Tyrannosaur Can't Brush His Teeth.

This T-Rex meme is a mere pretender... a false prophet to the One True T-Rex! Dinosaur Comics for life, yo!

That is the saddest comic about a robot that I have ever read, I think.

Somebody made this in the long ago thread about the T-Rex trying to hunt from a tree, however, it's so goddamn awesome it should be placed everywhere. It makes me giggle every time I see it.

Here it is.

The sunscreen one made an unbearable day pretty damn wonderful for a moment there.
