SCuF for April 30, 2011

So, it's Saturday, time for the SCuF (Saturday Cuteness Factor)!

Without further ado, image one.



 
 
 
Fluffiness            2 
Size (Tinier=better)  4
Affection             2
Anthropomorphism      0
Roundness             2
Eyes (Bigger=better)  3
Harmlessness          4
Total:               17






Explanation time!
Fluffiness - 2: Chihuahua's are furry but not really fluffy
Size - 4: This picture is definitely cheating in the size category, it's a chihuahua for crying out loud! The smallest dog in the world!
Affection - 2: This dog doesn't look so much affectionate as it looks bored, it doesn't even seem to care that it's getting its picture taken.
Anthropomorphism - 0: Honestly, this doesn't really look human-y tome at all, it just look dog-ish.
Roundness - 2: Okay, so his head is a little round but other than that you don't get much else.
Eyes - 3: In proportion to it's body, a little chihuahua has gigantic eyes, I just feel that if this one tried a little harder he could make his eyes HUUUUGE.
Harmlessness - 4: Like I said earlier, this dog looks bored, he ain't gonna hurt you at all.

So that gives this lazy chihuahua a score of 17, which, after a quick review is a record low. OUCH!

So, let's see what image two has for us.

Affection             4

Harmlessness          5
Total:               24
 
 
 
 
Explanation:
Fluffiness - 4: The combined power of a fluffy baby chick and a big lazy furry St. Bernard gives this one a high fluff score.
Size - 4: This score is based, not so much on the size of both parties in the picture, but more on the juxtaposition, A St. Bernard will weigh, on average, 200 lbs, a baby chicken, however weighs 0.088184 lbs, which means this dog is approximately 2270 times the size of this chick, yet it is not crushing it. CUUUTE!
Affection - 4: These two look like they're about to freaking kiss each other, there's so much affection here, yeesh.
Anthropomorphism - 3: Other than the stated near-kiss that these two are doing, there's not much human-like about them.
Roundness - 3: A baby chick is inherently round, and a St. Bernard is somewhat rounded as well, but this picture might get a higher score if we had been able to see the roundness of the dog as well as the chick.
Eyes -1: Alas, the lowest score of this picture, it is because you can't really see a St. Bernard's eyes and the chick just doesn't have huge eyes anyways.
Harmlessness - 5: One look at this picture and you see that these two are in no position to harm each other at all, that chick wouldn't even get a scratch on that dog and that dog is too big and lazy to even try.

So, all tallied up that gives this picture a 24, which, surprisingly is a record high, easy to see who wins this one! Join me next week when I apply science to another set of pictures.

  1. science, Brent? you're funny. But I gotta love ya. I think you've been prejudiced against chihuahua's since the dawn of time. And you need to add a bonus set of points for sagging skin on puppies because its just cute!

  2. The chihuahua immediately loses 18 bajillion points for being a chihuahua. Fail chihuahua, fail.
