derp

There's nothing that we love more than our pets. Absolutely nothing. In every situation, no matter what they're doing, whether they're being cuties asking for pettings, or whether they're being the biggest hooligans, we love them forever and always. 

Catching pictures of them being total derps will always make us laugh. Every time we accidentally come across these pictures on our phones or computers, we laugh anew. They're some of the first pictures that we show people of our pets just to get them to laugh too. And it always works. It always makes everyone smile.

That's why the subreddit r/AnimalsBeingDerps is one of our ultimate favorites, because it gives us the bestest of derpiest animals. To share the smiles with you guys, we've brought you some of our favorite derps from the subreddit. 

There's nothing like a derpy animal collection to help brighten up a Monday! 

Even though times are odd and we are working from home these days, that doesn't change the fact that Monday is Monday and that Monday's are terrible. 

So enjoy this pick-me-up while wearing your favorite pajamas and laying back on a nice comfy chair or the sofa. You deserve a bit of ridiculousness with a sprinkle of luxury.

Well, more specifically just one corgi. 

Meet Gen! Gen is a 4-year-old corgi from Okayama, Japan, and just full of the greatest (and slightly derpiest) expressions a corgi could have! 

Gen is beauty, Gen is grace, We adore this pup and if you feel the same -- you can follow him on Instagram! 

Enjoy the happiness that is Gen the Corgi! 

The sillier the cat -- the cuter. 

We're sure cats demand they be taken seriously...but it's sort of hard to take them seriously, when they're being so derpy, sleepy and adorable! 

Not that we mind any. Bring on the goofiness! 

We'll always have a special place in our hearts for all the derpy derps. 

Twitter user @baby_b0nes asked the Twitterverse to post the least flattering images they have of their pets and this was the response:

Horses are majestic and very helpful animals, not only in terms of riding, but also for therapy. But surprisingly, they also have a sense of humor-  that is some positive therapy in itself! If you are looking for a away to get yourself out of that funk that has lasted just too long, forget a support dog, get a horse. Unless you have a fear of heights. But horseback riding has been used in therapy since 1901. But did you know that the first mention of horses and their healing powers was in ancient Greece, in the writings of Hippocrates. 

Ride out the inner cowboy with this list of beautiful horses, and if you still haven't had enough, try these Funny Horse Memes and you'll be ready to giddyap. 

Animal mode? Not found. 18 derp gifs of animals being amazingly derpy will bring a smile upon even the most stubborn of faces. Did you know? If you feed your dog too many snacks, you're going to end up with a wide retriever. Or he'll end up a few sticks short of a bundle. But these crazy huskies definitely got into the catnip because they are out of control! Some of the best moments are anything having to do with puppies, and their arch-nemesis, stairs. If you want to see how real the struggle is, these dogs definitely know the feels.

And they are too cute to handle!

They may be blatantly disrespectful... But who cares! They are still so adorable!! Animals can intentionally or otherwise provide us with the cutest looks without meaning to, and all it takes is a bemused expression on their face and a well timed camera shot. Those two combined make up basically every internet meme ever. But do you know which animal could never stick its tongue out? The T. Rex. That's right, not only does it have stubby arms, but a rather inflexible tongue to boot. Talk about nature and karma. And enjoy even more hilarious animals with these ridiculous fox ranking system that this Twitter user decided to create out of boredom, or another list ranking the cutest cat breeds while you're still in a judgy mood.

I guess we all just gotta shake it when we hear that beat!
