Comcast Internet Commercial


A commercial for Comcast High Speed Internet - featuring a rabbit-panther hybrid. Emphasizes the speed of the rabbit plus the strength of the panther to create a powerful creature, but what is the message? A rabbit is quick, but not strong? What happens when you combine predator and prey?


Brer Rabbit Car Commercial




A 1950s car commercial starring a clever and goofy Brer Rabbit.

Microwave Bunny

Energizer Bunny Commercial


Trix Rabbit Commercial


Bunny Burp 7up commercial


Even rabbits would break into someone's home to steal their 7-up, right? It's that good.

Cadbury's Caramel 1980 ad

Cartoon female rabbits are quite the opposite of their goofy male counterparts. Female rabbits represent sexuality, seduction, and temptation, as in this Cadbury caramel ad from 1980.

Classic Blue Bunny Old Time Ice Cream Commercial

A common theme of male cartoon rabbit depictions is the goofy, somewhat dumb, cute, and highly anthropomorphized creature that is seen here in this Blue Bunny Ice Cream Commercial.

Telus Rabbit Commericial

Rabbits are cute, cuddly, innocent, and definitely into carrots, right?

Skittles Singing Bunny

This Skittles commercial depicts rabbits as bizarre, annoying, and perhaps unusual; but most definitely nowhere near as good as a pack of Skittles candy. Why did Skittles choose a rabbit for this? Couldn't any animal have been used? More importantly, why would anyone want to send the message that a sweet treat is better than a living, sentient being?

The Cadbury Bunny

Does he look like a duck? No. Does he swim like a duck? Definitely not. Does he quack like a duck? Well, yes. But we still shouldn't consider the possibility that he is a duck, should we? What if he brings us Easter eggs? The Cadbury Bunny is one of the traditional Easter icons that we all remember from childhood, a white bunny who brings us yummy (or at least sweet) eggs. But bunnies do not lay eggs. But, if they quack like the Cadbury Bunny, maybe they do?

Sony Bravia Bunnies

Check out this Sony Bravia commercial. Bunnies emerging from everywhere, in every color; only to bleed into one giant rabbit and then trickle back down into their individual, color-filled personalities. What does this say to you about rabbits, if anything?
