Dogs are always impatient for their food. This one is trying to put it into perspective. The secondary joke is that it’s not his dog.
We’re always telling our dog(s), ‘I’ll feed you in a minute.’ So now the human knows what it feels like to have to wait a minute for his food (altho to a dog, it would feel more like seven minutes, but that’s another joke entirely).
However, the ‘whose dog is that’ part is a CIDU to me . . . .
I didn’t type fast enough . . . time to join the dogs for a night’s rest.
Okay, I didn’t get it either but I laughed.
But I’m dealing with a weird dog myself right now.
I think it’s the meta-trope where after the plot device comes in and gives the message (in a cooking show it’d be show host coming into your kitchen teaching you how to take care of you knifes, or in the tv commerical it be the product spokesperson coming into the couple’s living room telling youthe product will make life easier) and then after getting the message the people break the narrative and ask “who *are* you and why are you in our house?”
I can never remember, is this the one with the !@#$ing squirrel? ‘Cause where is he now to distract the dog (if this is the one); and if it’s not, is this one now going to have a !@#$ing dog to explain the jokes?
Is he making breakfast at 4am? Or is that 4pm?
That must be a very powerful microwave, if it can warm up breakfast tacos in only a minute.
Rick, unless you’re Hugh Hefner, who wears pajamas at 4 pm?
No, that’s ‘Reality Check’, and again, I missed the memo changing ‘knives’ to ‘knifes’, just as I missed the one changing ‘dwarves’ to ‘dwarfs’ (even spellcheck got that memo). Being the pedant that I am, you’d think I’d be the first to get those memos!!
LOVE those slippers, tho!
After seeing innumerable “Fun Fact” and “Did you know?” type burbles correcting a popular misunderstanding of “Minute Waltz” [it means small not 60 seconds], I began to wonder about Minute Rice.
This is not one of Harland Williams’ funnier roles.
I have six dogs – NONE OF WHOM HAS EVER BEEN GIVEN ‘PEOPLE FOOD’ BY US – who sing this song . . .
Off topic but the question about whose dog its is reminded me of it. In Charlotte, a guy getting ready for work sees a strange dog in his backyard without a collar. He calls animal control to report the dog and goes to work. He gets home that evening to find the dog still in the backyard and a summons on his door for having an unlicensed dog.
Andrea: Dwarfs was the older usage. Tolkien wanted dwarves (he had to keep correcting the editor’s corrections in The Hobbit) and managed to nearly eliminate the competition, but dwarfs is still ok.
Of course, knifes and dwarfs still work as verbs. So maybe the spell check function would not catch their incorrect usage as nouns.
“Of course, knifes and dwarfs still work as verbs.”
I was going to make this point, but I’m an hour late.
As for Tolkien, he was a language nerd, and to prove it, made up a couple of his own. Then again, Tolkiens dwarves are not the same thing as Snow White’s, or the actual people who have dwarfism.
@Andréa, the word starts with an unpronounced ‘k’. After that, how can you cavil at any plural one cares to make?
I love English.
by the way, the breakfast tacos may be refrigerated, not frozen, so a minute might be enough.
Point taken. However, Chak. I do have to add that I was reading one of the short stories in “After the End: Recent Apocalypses’ [side note: if it’s AFTER the END, shouldn’t this book be blank?], in which the word ‘dwarves’ is used in a 2010 copyrighted short story entitled, appropriately enough, ‘The Books’.
“Dwarves” are members of a fantasy race. “Dwarfs” are smaller-than-the-usual-range of a being or person. If you are casting a fantasy movie, you might hire dwarfs to play dwarves.

And the wolfs/wolves contingent weighs in . . .

Statistically speaking, six out of seven dwarfs are not Happy.
