I have some sad news and I think it’s probably best if I get to it right away: After two years and over 100 posts, we are ending Corgi Friday as a regular feature here at Warming Glow.
Why are we doing this? Well, a few reasons. First of all, as you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been ramping up our focus on things like live discussions, recaps of popular shows, and features that we think provide our readers with a more enjoyable TV/Internet experience. Today alone we’ve covered the comedies on NBC, The League, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia in posts that allow you to sound off and be heard regarding shows that the majority of our audience watches (or should be watching). Which brings me the second reason: Fridays have gotten kind of nuts around here. In order to cover all the shows that air on Thursdays AND make sure we stay on top of important/fun stories throughout the day, something had to go, and, sadly, corgis were the odd man out. (The odd dogs out? Is that a thing? That should be a thing.)
BUT.
This does not mean we will be abandoning dog-based coverage all together. Far from it. We still reserve the right to drop everything any time there is dog-related television news, or when something like this happens. And I imagine there will still be periodic galleries of dogs in costumes or dogs at the beach or dogs doing holiday things or whatever, because sometimes covering television news day-in, day-out gets a little tedious, and that gives us (me, mainly) a nice little breather slash outlet for our (my) debilitating ADD.
Anyway, I know some of the older Warming Glow readers might not be ecstatic about this development, and I totally get that. If you want to grab a deep-voiced friend and drive to the beach and belt out your frustration straight into the ocean while he delivers a heartbreaking monologue about loss, I don’t think anyone would blame you, mostly because that is an awesome thing to do that everyone should try at least once, but also because change is weird and kind of sucky. In the long run, however, I think this is the right move for everyone.
And so, one last time with feeling, let’s all look back through the archives and remember the good old days.

So… why don’t you just do live discussions with corgis?
I don’t know, man. They’d be pretty ruff to moderate.
don’t be a pussy Danger, get your paws on it and try it!
They’d probably be late and just come in on the tail end of the discussion.
Hasa diga eebowai!
Now’s your chance, Burnsy. Sport/Corgi Friday will be a hit over @ With Leather…DO IT! Just post a bunch of Corgi pics & photoshop Tebow in there.
We could welcome anyone who’s neuter the site.
I gather this somber news will be taken well by the commu….RIOT, KILL, BURN MAIM!
GATTTTTTTTTTTTTACCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STRONGLY urge you to reconsider.
This is like when Stewart announced that they weren’t going to keep doing Five Questions when he took over The Daily Show. Except worse.
I will literally never get over thi…HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THOSE OTTERS! THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS!

BRING BACK MATT!
I’m actually shocked it took this deep into the thread for someone to go there.
Me too.
You kids get off my lawn. In my day it would have been the first post
It was my first thought after reading the headline, does that count?
this is a picture of my corgi dressed as batman and also a little bit of cleavage because you can’t tell me how to live my life danger.
[distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com]
That picture IS Warming Glow.
Because we shouldn’t have to follow links on such a sad day.
gracias, i didn’t know which tags to use because i am illiterate.
@supersloth: you’re welcome but not illiterate; around here you have to have special powers to post images.
I stared at that picture longer than I stared at the doctor who picture from yesterday’s AP post (that ended some time today….)
I’d be more disappointed by this if the majority of Corgi Friday posts had been anything other than terrible since the turnover in management and especially recently.
Fortunately for my wife and I, Corgi Friday was a big part in us now owning our own short-legged, big-eared, no-tailed companion. For us, every day is Corgi Friday!
Still…pretty shitty news for a Friday.
And I thought yesterday’s L&O:SUV post would be my least-favorite DG post of all-time.
Double
But I mean, the L&O one is a giant outlier.
Keep up the good work, ponyboy.
I just wanted to let you know that Corgi Friday got me through a really bad breakup and I will always appreciate it ROLL TIDE
I….I….wha….don’t……..what is this?
CHARGE!!!
why didn’t it embed, try #2
Zack: I object to this development.
Uproxx: Overruled.
Zack: I *strenuously* object to this development.
“Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider.”
I catch all A Few Good Men references. ALL OF THEM.
Thank you, Danger. I’ll get back to work on my script for The Queen’s Dog Boy.
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE……uh, line?
@JJJJS: Poop, of course.
Quick! Turn on the Matt-signal!
*silhouette of a corgi and bottle of Pappy Van Winkle lights up the sky*
greatest signal ever!
First you lose the subdomain, then you lose the Corgis? What’s happening, man?
You’ve changed. I’ll always remember the good times but it will never be the same.
Is that what happened, they lost the subdomain?
go to hell
A fair point.
ABANDON SHIP!
I didn’t think I would laugh after seeing this post….this did it!
ATTICA! ATTICA!
I’d be perfectly happy if every Friday you picked a random post and just made the comments Corgi gifs.
Shut your filthy whore mouth!
Why don’t you just kill my Mom while you’re at it, you heartless bastards.
The terrorists have truly won. Where’s that corgi video with the Boyz 2 Men playing in the background?
[www.youtube.com]
Danger made that 14 months ago…
ah yes, back when Danger was awesome and not a douchebagger…
That’s what happens when you pass the bar.
IT SHALL BE EMBEDDENED.
Freaking Obama!!!!
Also, this site is bad and you should feel bad. It’s been loading like crap lately and freezing on me, and now this? Really? What next, no more Game of Thrones coverage or Alison Brie gifs?
We gave you Alison Brie holding a dildo earlier today. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!?
I want Alison Brie dress as Daenerys Targaryen giving me a lapdance while corgi puppies wrestle in the corner while wearing cute little hipster clothes, but only if they are wearing them ironically.
EarthwormJim wins this thread
Empty your cache and/or add some RAM.
I have nothing for this. Not even tears. Just shock. Can’t we just band together as commenters and make the last Friday post unofficial “Corgi Friday” and post our Corgi pics/Gifs? Can’t we petition the Queen Mother? Or is she involved in this diabolical plot? HOW FAR UP DOES THIS GO???
This is truly a week of highs and lows. FIRST I’m made an honorary black person, THEN you take away Corgi Fridays? I hope you choke.
You BASTARDS! You heartless BASTARDS!
That’s it, I don’t believe in nothing no more, I’m going to law school.
Four more years! Four more years!
I’m taking all the corgis to Canada.
Bit of a crushing blow there.
I’m using it as a sign to get the golden retriever puppy this weekend instead of finding a corgi puppy. The Warming Glow gods have spoken.
You can really watch people go through the first 4 steps of the Kübler-Ross model.
I love you all for already making every comment that popped into my head when I read this horrific news.
I could really go for Corgi Middle-of-the-work-week-when-I-want-to-blow-my-brains-out. How will the UPROXX community recover???!! *immediately forgets Corgi Fridays after watching an hour of cute dog videos on YouTube*
You’re dead to me.
I have to go now. My planet needs me.

Because ALL corgis get embedded today!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Surely there’s a way to keep this wonderful segment around. How about Corgi Monday?
thursdays and fridays are busy? oh, boo-hoo. i’ll be sure to mention that to any ditch diggers or crab fishermen i see this weekend.
do it on a different day, then, you lazy white-stains.
Dapper Corgi is displeased, but he hears your plight. If you wish to eliminate Corgi Fridays, that is acceptable IF they are replaced with Corgi Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and alternating Thursdays. Also, Lobster Dog needs to be in more banner images.
Cool Corgi is taking this all in stride. Naturally.
It’s really silly how sad this makes me. And how happy all the GIFs and videos in the comments make me. Surely the commenters can keep Corgi Friday alive.
Say, first post after noon on Fridays becomes Corgi GIF central?
Good news Danger – you just earned the Lazy, Shitty Blogger Badge, and you didn’t even have to log into facebook!
Do not get rid of Corgi Friday. I literally look forward to it every week. Don’t do this to me.
Not cool. Not cool at all.
Here’s to the death of Warming Glow a NBC comadie gif site .
(*Comedy) I so mad I cant even spell anymore.
UNACCEPTABLE!!!
This is an absolutely terrible decision, but I think we can all agree we saw it coming. DG never seemed to give as much of a darn about Corgi Fridays and his efforts were waning over the past several months.
So it’s come to this…
Danger is it possible to get a copy of the Corgi Friday that you made for my son Jason.I can no longer get access it it must have been removed from the server. Our family and friends really appreciated all your work and sincerity on In Memoriam, It would mean a lot to us, So sorry to see the end of Corgi Friday, Thanks
