For Ben and Emily Huh, Internet cat videos aren’t a distraction from work, they are work.
The husband-and-wife team owns icanhascheezburger.com — a Web site that features pet pictures and videos with funny, misspelled captions — and now they and their quirky staff will be the subjects of Bravo’s reality show “LOLwork,” which premieres tomorrow night at 11.
“Everyone was really nervous,” Ben told The Post. “What if they ask us to throw water in people’s faces? This is Bravo. But the producers said, ‘That’s not the type of show we want from you.’ ”
The series revolves around the day-to-day decisions of the Seattle-based tech company, decisions like whether or not a photo of a sleeping cat that looks dead is funny. (Answer: No.)
The Huhs have a theory behind the passionate fan base of their company — 24 million people who view 500 million pages and 100 million videos each month.
“I think a reason why cat videos are so popular is because cat owners don’t really have a place to socialize. There’s no cat park,” Emily said.
“There is, it’s called the Internet!” Ben adds.
“Right!” Emily concludes. “So, the Internet is the cat park where you get to showcase how cute your cat is or how crazy your cat is.”
