(33,688 posts)can look as guilty as a dog. And they KNOW they are guilty.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,370 posts)And I don't know what it is, but the face, the mannerisms etc. just seem so damned adorable and endearing to us.

(15,229 posts)It's in the last post in the Comments via Sputnik (as opposed to facebook). I think it will get a fair few laughs.
Aren't some of those comments here priceless ! Well , you've acknowledged as much. I liked Nico's pleading 'the Fifth', too !
We had a bulldog during my schooldays, and he was the kindest-natured dog you could imagine.

You can see him slowly processing it, and not like what he's hearing.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,370 posts)in Niko's little, boxy head!
I've had Boston Terriers in my family most of my life and the two breeds are very similar in mannerisms, facial expressions, etc. If I asked the late Mr. BB (The dog is my little avatar pic) if he did something naughty, in a similar way the woman talked to Niko, he would react in a very similar fashion. Slink off down the stairs or something, as if he slowly remembered he had important business elsewhere!
I just adore the bully breeds - all of them, and Niko just makes me laugh. I have watched that short video probably 50 times now and it still makes me smile!

by folk, are absolutely hilarious. Like sauce and condiments on a meal.
Nico's expression reminded me of the cogs and wheels you could see spinning at a trillion miles an hour behind Larry King's eyes, when he feared a Republican was in danger of being embarrassed, and trying to figure how he could avoid it.
My favourites were:
When he was interviewing a girl who had claimed that Bill Clinton had raped her, and you could see he was terrified of asking her a question that would have allowed her to blurt out an honest answer (not in the script!);
The other was when Senator John Conyers said to a grizzled, old Republican, who'd only spoken a few sentences, that he'd just made five errors in law! Wow! You could see that really put Larry on the spot. After the cogs and wheels behind his eyes had very speedily spun about a billion revolutions, he knew there was no way he could avoid asking Conyers to say what the errors were.
The cogs and wheels spinning behind Nico' s eyes would have been turning at a very leisurely rate, in comparison, being more like those of an old country, lawyer mulling over some matter in his lunch break, rather than the naturally-stressed host of a country-wide TV show, entrusted with chaperoning his Republican guests.

(15,229 posts)the woman chuckle at the end about him looking guilty. But I hope she relented and called him in again! I believe, for a fleeting second, his little face had begun to look genial - insofar as his face could convey it! - as he looked towards her .... until her tone of voice registered.
