Sometimes the right song makes all the difference | Cat Fail Video
I cannot stop laughing nor watching the Chive’s version of this “cat jump fail” video.
The original video was uploaded in Japan on Dec. 16, 2011, without any music (shown below). It now has over 4 million hits on it. Title translate (with Google Translator) as “Debacle diving cat.”
Then someone downloaded it and added the theme song to Superman to the video and called it “SuperCAT Cat Jump FAIL [WITH THEME SONG],” which has been downloaded, uploaded, edited, and everything else possible. I must have come across at least two dozen copies of this failed jump, and I really do not know which YouTuber is the one that originally created the SuperCat version – and honestly, I don’t care.
But then… The Chive uploads their version with different music (actually, I’m not positive Chive created this version…). It makes all the difference in the world. Watch The Chive’s version first then the Theme from Superman version afterwards and tell me what you think.

Original Copy from Japan (no music) 猫ダイビング大失敗
FYI… the translation of the original Japanese version comments says, “Failure of diving escape from the veranda of the second floor. Ran off after landing went in as was safe.”
So, in proper English, this insane cat thought it could fly. Tried jumping from a second floor balcony to another only to realize that gravity was stronger than it thought. Fell to the ground and ran off unharmed. Hmmph… just like a cat.

This problem can be solved by pre-school children in 5-10 minutes. By programmers in one hour.

Both versions are great, IMHO, but I will give a slight edge to the version from The Chive. For a real kick though, play them both at the same time! 😉
BTW, love the new look… 😀
Thanks (on the compliment of look). I’ll have to try them both at the same time. Hmmmm….
LOL… that is pretty funny. Also very apparent that the Chive version has been ran through the After Effects stabilizer, too. Nice touch.
Funny, I thought there was a difference. Which is why I tried (and failed) to watch both together! 😀
Yeah, Chive went through the stabilizer. Much nicer that way.
Just for music with image – Superman Theme wins for me! Chive went well but good old belly laugh from the Superman one.
LOL… The Superman is pretty good. I guess I favor more suspense-like music. Either way, they’re both pretty good.
I watched this three times. What a nut of a cat. I’m glad it was okay. I laughed so hard the first time I woke up one of my roommates.
LOL… Yeah, first time I thought, “Sheesh… this is boring.” Then the cat jumped and you can see the paws splayed out, and I about fell on the floor laughing.
I can’t decide between the Chive and Superman. Both are hilarious. (I’ve no idea what an after effects stabilizer is …)
After Effects is an Adobe product (like Photoshop) but is made for video special effects. I have it myself. Not cheap, has an enormous learning curve, and the stabilizer is awesome for those (like me) who do a lot of filming with hand-held cameras.
Oops!
LOL.. ya think? Major oops…
Poor puss. Im glad it was ok! But I did laugh!
Me, too. Cats are amazing creatures in their recovery from falls.
I’m still giggling as I write this. Both musical versions are funny, and I can’t wait until my teens finally get up (it’s Sunday morn right now) so I can show them this. (Knowing them they’ve probably already seen it.) Thanks for a great weekend chuckle!
LOL…. Have they seen it?
So the votes in our house are in: I like the first version you list in your post, but my kids like the Supercat version best. Go figure.
LOL! I’m so glad you included the kids and took a vote. That is way cool! It appears as the the Supercat version is the favored version. That’s okay… I still go and watch The Chive’s version from time to time to help put a smile back on my face.
Superman cat FTW! Classic!
I like the other one better…. 😀
whats the name of song of the chive version !!
Not sure.
