I never thought of it in velvet. That adds a whole new dimension to it.
Always velvet, baby 👉
It’s gotta be velvet yo
Great for a well placed reference in a show or comic.
But just for boomers and maybe Gen X?
This is what we had instead of memes.
Maybe? Gen X and I’m all over this. XD
Fallout: New Vegas also had a reference to this in the Old World Blues DLC
Serious Sam: TSE has a secret with it too, and they are like 10+ years apart.
If it’s referenced in the early seasons of The Simpsons, it is timeless.
This, along with velvet Elvises (Elvii??) are peak art.
Edit: Autocarrot doesn’t like elvii.
That’s because Elvises is correct. And yes, velvet Elvises too.
One Elvis, two Elvīs.
How would you pronounce that?
Elvis
Unless they are different Elvises, then it’s Elvi. Presley, Costello
Lest we forget velvet Selleck
As a Latinist, neither do I. It should be third declension, so the plural would be Elvēs.
👇happy?
need at least two to be plural
My brother had this hanging in our room when we were kids lol.
The background was green though.
I’m always hoping to find an old one at a flea market or yard sale. It’d be my most prized possession. Edit: Gen X, just to add context.
I’d gladly have it in mine, gen y
I remember seeing a reference to this in a Cartoon Network ad - except they had all the famous cartoon dogs like Scooby Doo, Huckleberry Hound, Mutley etc. I always looked forward to that ad as a kid, thought it as pretty cool seeing all my favorite cartoon characters hanging out and stuff.
I have a poster like this, but they are playing magic the gathering.
You’ve reminded me that now I have a man-cave, I want one of those paintings to hang in there.
My family has had many dogs over the years. I’ve always wanted to have one of these made with each depicted, but they’re playing Uno.
I have very vague recollection of it being relevant…
Titled “A Friend in Need”
Our neighbor had a carpet depicting dogs playing poker hanging on their wall. Not these exact ones but a different group. That was 30 years ago.
Yes, for some reason it was always painted/woven in “velvet” of all things, so I can see why people think of it as carpet.
