Birthday and Celebratory Gifs
July 25, 2014 8:27 AM   Subscribe

I'm the lady at my office who sends out the "Everyone please wish a Happy Birthday to X!" emails. I try to include a cute animated gif in all of them. I'm running out of birthday-themed gifs a few weeks into this game. Wanna help me compile celebration and birthday gifs?

I'm looking for any birthday-related gifs but also celebratory gifs that indicate the individual in question should be partying or has inspired all of us to also party.

Any cheesy animal gifs always work, or dance scenes from films the kids at my office maybe haven't seen, since I'm happy to make my own gifs (for instance, everyone in my office is in their 20s, so I used a gif of the taxicab dance scene from Fame yesterday and they were all like, "What's this dope old movie with people in short shorts and afros? I have never heard of it.")

I know I could dig through Tumblr, but that involves going through a million gifs of teen heartthrobs I've never heard of, so I thought a few people here might have a celebration gif repository of his or her own.

Best answer: Mark Ruffalo and a Muppet

Scrubs!

Fresh Prince of Bel Air

and ok, this is purely self-indulgent because I know it's not appropriate for your purposes, but this makes me laugh every time I see it.

Best answer: If simple, drawn animated GIFs of cats made for different occasions sound good, then you need the cute animations featured on Actioncat.com.

Response by poster: I realized I should show the ones I've already used at work here so everyone has access to them. Adding more shortly.
