Little more then a hand puppet (and blissfully, obviously so), the little bugger has become so popular over the years that they even have a toy versionthat dances to Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright". And considering its meager beginnings, I would have to say that the toy gopher looks exactly like the gopher in the movie. Really, you can't tell them apart.
After all that, I must admit that this is just my meager attempt to connect the Caddyshack gopher to the latest internet video star, the Dramatic Prairie Dog.
Specifically, I wanted to draw your attention to the guys over at Cinematical, who have collected together the various movie-inspired riffs on the "DPG" that have popped up on YouTube since his, well, dramatic debut about a month ago.
So why the gopher? You try finding a movie with a prairie dog in it.
