(3) Hello! I am HUGGY PUNCH.

Automatic bid. Won Week 3 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 393 total votes.

Poor Raymond Høckey (may not be his real name). All he wanted to do was hug, but Bibic was having none of it. But the best part is watching him skate away with a perma-grin. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smiling person get punched in the face and still just keep smiling. It’s beautiful.

(14) Hi there! I am INDIFFERENT STARLIN CASTRO!

Special nomination. Finished second in Week 5 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 140 votes.

By this point, Starlin Castro has earned a reputation as a dude who is liable to completely check out at any time. When he’s running the bases, you half-expect him to slow to a jog and just make a beeline to a nearby 7-Eleven or something. There’s tons of GIF evidence to this end. I am here to represent all the “Starlin Castro don’t give a fr**k” GIFs that couldn’t be here today.

Look at him, scuffling his feet and staring at the dirt. That must be the most interesting dirt of all time.

VOTE!
