But these clips—from our interview with cutest cat ever Lil Bub to the new ‘Hunger Games’ trailer—might get you smiling again.

The first photo of Lil Bub was posted on her Tumblr in November 2011.

Lil Bub was being featured on the front page of Reddit, and like that, she was an Internet phenomenon.

Work on Lil Bub & Friendz, meanwhile, began last August at the first annual Internet Cat Video Film Festival in Minneapolis.

A wood-thrush flitted from a ravine as she and Bub went back down the creek—and she stopped with uplifted face to listen.

There was a subdued titter at this, but Bub had come in from the stable and had dropped on the edge of the porch.

With every day her feeling for her father and Bub was knit a little more closely, and toward Dave grew a little more kindly.

Bub pushed by her and threw open the shutters of a window to the low sunlight, and June stood with both hands to her head.

She was pruning a rose-bush with Bub's penknife, and when she heard him coming she wheeled, quivering.
