Has anyone seen the Skittles singing rabbit commercial? Been a while since I laughed out loud at a commercial: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rXp9tWT4jM) ---

That was great. I’m not sure how but the rabbit’s “song” is now stuck in my head. Yaaah, yaaah, yaah, yah, yah, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :dubious: 😛😃 ---

That little 30 second spot has everything; intrigue, joy, misery, regret, loss, irony. ---

Don’t forget violence. 🙂 As for the commercial itself, “meh.” ---

Pepper Mill and I _LOATHE_ this commercial. I want to find the people who m,ade it and eviscerate them. They play it constantly during MilliCal’s cartoon shows, and we hate even hearing the damned song. MilliCal, of course, loves the commercial. I think she turns the sound up when it’s on. ---

[QUOTE=Batsinma Belfry] Maybe because it’s CREEPY. [/QUOTE] Please believe me: I respect your feelings; I can see how the commercial is creepy. What I don’t get is why it’s creepy in a…bad way. It’s great _because_ it’s so 'effed up! It’s not horriffic like a serial killer; it’s horriffic like _Young Frankenstein_ — the difference presumably being that there wasn’t enough time in a 30-second to bring out the dark humor. Seriously, it’s just a juxtaposition of a snap decision about a magical animal and comically overblown evaluation of a type of candy. Given the context, it’s too macabre to really be creepy; it’s pure comedy. Well, that’s my take on it. As I said, I totally respect your feelings. I’m just saying that, as much as I respect them, I don’t understand them. Thanks for commenting!! 🙂 ---

I didn’t like it much the first time I heard it, but it _really_ starts to grate when you’ve heard it five or more times in an hour. And you _will_ hear it five or more times in an hour on the kids’ stations – they run the damned thing incessantly. On top o’which, I _hate_ Skittles! ---

I don’t like Skittles, but Sour Skittles are da bomb. I don’t buy much candy though. ---

The thing that I find creepy in this commercial, is something about the way he opens his mouth. I realize its cgi, and I also realize how silly that sounds. ---

About that Skittles commercial, I have only one thing to say: Hasenfeffer!
