by Meg on June 22, 2006

Listen! Listen! I think I hear her coming in!

It’s Petite Helicopter Head from Japan! I think she made a pretty soft landing, there. Ploop!

HoverBun™ Deluxe!

2 VaCKo 06.22.06 at 1:08 pm

For a HoverBun™, those don’t seem so much helicopter blades as stabilizers/steering wings. Definitely useful, though.

3 Mary 06.22.06 at 1:08 pm

I am in cheek puff heaven.

4 chunkstyle 06.22.06 at 1:09 pm

Do you think they ship the bun buns to the states or are they self-delivering?

5 Svenster 06.22.06 at 1:10 pm

“Write a witty comment you must. Trolls may lurk this thread even! May the fluff be with you.”

Well, you can’t say he DOESN’T look lika Yoda.

6 mariser 06.22.06 at 1:12 pm

I don’t suppose the bunnehs can be shipped. ’tis a pity.

7 jaypo 06.22.06 at 1:16 pm

Missy Stabilizears disapproves of bunny ears that stick up.

sqweet!

8 Christine 06.22.06 at 1:19 pm

Don’t you just want to rub the furry little tips of the ears?

9 karisma 06.22.06 at 1:25 pm

snuggle snuggle :)

10 chrissylte 06.22.06 at 1:27 pm

Oh da fuzz. fuzzy fuzz fuzz. I luvs da fuzz.

11 MaggieBelle 06.22.06 at 1:29 pm

I want this bunny!

Don’t care how, I want it now!

12 Noora 06.22.06 at 1:30 pm

It´s so cute! I love it! :D

13 HeartSong 06.22.06 at 1:31 pm

This is my favorite bun yet! I liked Wednesday’s featurette, but DHIS widdle wone is fall over, drop dead, CUUUUUTE! Yes, it’s the floppy ears that get to me. (~:

This was juuust the face I needed to perk up my day!!!!

14 E-Snorgle 06.22.06 at 1:34 pm

Eeeeee! No feet! New cuteness rule!

Ear chomp!

15 torie 06.22.06 at 1:35 pm

Now this is a cute bun bun! I LOVE IT! Allergies or not I must pet those ears…man…now my computer screen is all finger printy :)

16 Tony James 06.22.06 at 1:35 pm

Those aren’t stabilizers – they’re doors to the control room – and they’re open!! Don’t you see what this means?! The invasion is NOW, people!! It’s a cook-book! Fleeee…

17 finn 06.22.06 at 1:37 pm
18 Michele 06.22.06 at 1:38 pm

The way his hair is over his eye a little bit makes him look kinda angry. Like hes going to helicopter on over and bita ya! teehee Bunbun youre so cute when youre mad!!! ^_^v

19 mariser 06.22.06 at 1:41 pm

finn, that was wicked. and very quick.
I bow to your Photoshop-fu.

20 Tony James 06.22.06 at 1:41 pm

There’s no excuse for that, Finn, really there isn’t =p LOL

21 connie 06.22.06 at 1:47 pm

Double LOL, finn…

22 Holly 06.22.06 at 1:48 pm

Awww…i wanna kiss those ears and that forehead!

23 Theo 06.22.06 at 2:00 pm

CHARLIE DON’T SURF.
♥ Finn

24 Kris, in New England 06.22.06 at 2:04 pm

It’s Sally Field – The Flying Bun!

25 lemura 06.22.06 at 2:07 pm

The noise of soft ears twirling, gentle, yet ominous.

26 punkpie 06.22.06 at 2:08 pm

LOL @ “ploop!”

27 StormCat 06.22.06 at 2:11 pm

Finn – FABULOUS!!!! I love it!!!

Kris in NE – that pun was so bad, and yet I barked out loud when I read it…

But I must disagree…I DO see just the littlest tip of a foot under there!!! More Bun-bun feetsies!!!!

28 Alex 06.22.06 at 2:12 pm

Its ears are a little like Yoda’s. But furry. And not green.

29 Redzilla 06.22.06 at 2:14 pm

How am I supposed to get any work done. I put the daily bun up as my desktop pic, but now I just keep reducing my work files to look at helibun.

30 A thinker 06.22.06 at 2:15 pm

“Wheee!”

31 A thinker 06.22.06 at 2:18 pm

Oh finn, very good :)

I am at work with my bun-bun under my desk–he’s going home with a friend for the weekend. It’s nice to have a real live bun at work :)

32 jenni joon 06.22.06 at 2:28 pm

Ploop! I can just *hear* the wee bun-bun land…! Ohh….. (swoon and promptly faint away)! Man, when the Japanese give the smack down, they really give it HARD! You hit the nail on the head, Meg: handing our a**es to us on a PLATE, yo!

33 Amy 06.22.06 at 2:30 pm

Those ears! Love ‘em.

But now I want to go home and snuggle with my buns. They were crawling all over me this morning. :)

34 Beauregard 06.22.06 at 2:45 pm

Ok, I am not speaking lightly when I say this bun wins them all. I can feel my blood vessels expanding to unsafe levels.

35 E. Collison 06.22.06 at 2:47 pm

Oh, copter ears are very cute
and every bunny needs them
to navigate and frolic
w00t!
soft landings are [dang, I don't have time to finish this!!! A thinker or jaypo or Aubrey, help me out!]

36 zelda 06.22.06 at 2:49 pm

Finn, that was hilarious!

This bun RULES! I wanna snorgle his cheekpuffs SO BAD!

37 E. Collison 06.22.06 at 2:52 pm

Oh, we’d all like to snorgle the bunny’s “cheek puffs.” but we might get nipeed if we tried! ;)

38 misskitka 06.22.06 at 2:52 pm

now, even helicopters are cute to me…they seem to have mufflepuffs…thanx finn, thanx a lot

39 E. Collison 06.22.06 at 2:53 pm

Yipes – was supposed to be “nipped.”

Either way, they’re not too partial to snorgling there until they really trust you.

Bunny snorglers, be warned – go for the forehead 1st!

40 Dara 06.22.06 at 2:57 pm

Theo and Finn…
Do you wanna bun or do you wanna surf?!

I love the smell of bun in the morning; smells like victory!

41 A thinker 06.22.06 at 2:57 pm

A bunny with heli-like ears
Oft says to her friends, “Oh guys, cheers–
It’s been fun but I must
Leave you all in the dust”
And into the sky disappears.

/sorry, gotta work. Best I can do.

42 A thinker 06.22.06 at 2:58 pm

and E.C., you had a good thing going there…you finish ;)

43 M- 06.22.06 at 2:59 pm

Finn – you rock… all that picture needs now is “Flight of the Valkaries” (sp?) playing with it and we have bun invasion perfection!

44 Dara 06.22.06 at 2:59 pm

correction…
bunnericks smell like victory, A Thinker…you rock.

45 A thinker 06.22.06 at 3:01 pm

:) thanks.

46 constintina 06.22.06 at 3:02 pm

Michele is correct–this bun will bite if provoked, obvs. It is the bestest personal security system evar. pepper spray? mace? I want to carry it around in a little dress-purse and it can helicopter out and give the teeniest snarl of warning if any evil doers bother us. and in exchange I would prepare the teensiest bun-burgers everyday. with extra carrot shreds.

47 Cutemeister 06.22.06 at 3:05 pm

I love the bunny-a-day.
They are so adorable they cheer me up tremendously !
Your website is the best.

48 jaypo 06.22.06 at 3:11 pm

FINN!! u rok!

49 AliceTanzer 06.22.06 at 3:13 pm

I love lop-eared bunnies who’s ears arent lopped all the way ;_; I know that it happens allot in babies, like this one, but my father has a 10 year old mini lop who’s ears are like that ;_;

50 jaypo 06.22.06 at 3:15 pm

E to the C:
Oh, copter ears are very cute
and every bunny needs them
to navigate or parachute
or hover over Squeedom.

51 Theo 06.22.06 at 3:15 pm

Another perspective… Bunni Longstocking!
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~thomas/lists/images/pippi01.jpg

52 A thinker 06.22.06 at 3:17 pm

heehee, jaypo, VG!!

And also to teho–all you need to do is to ’shop red braids onto that bunny, or bunny ears onto Pippi :)

53 TheLuna 06.22.06 at 3:21 pm

Thinker, your bun is going to a bunny sleepover? That’s hilarious.

(I know, it’s probably *your* friend she’s going to visit, not hers, but I’m going to continue imagining a bun-bun slumber party anyway.)

54 Tony James 06.22.06 at 3:23 pm

“The Overload of the Cute was an old website that had cashed in its otters for kittens and gone tear-assing around the internet lookin’ for the bunnies. They had given Hedgie a few snorgles in their time here. What they were pwning now hadn’t even been posted an hour ago.”

“The bunnies…the bunnies!” (Sorry, Marlon)

55 A thinker 06.22.06 at 3:30 pm

A bun-bun slumber party! What a wonderful idea, TheLuna!

He *is* going to stay on a farm, but hopefully not with any of the other animals, because none of them are very bunny-friendly. Ah well. It should be an interesting experience for him…

56 bunnajenny 06.22.06 at 3:31 pm

Now if we could just get a bun-bun nose twitch going with the helicopter sound my head would explode. Truly.

57 stephaneanderthal 06.22.06 at 3:47 pm

i nominate this most adorable of bunnies for the next CUTE T(TM). i will buy 10 of them. please please please.

58 Cait 06.22.06 at 3:49 pm

I miss having a bun! I had the squee-est little black bun . . . but she was vicious, I tell you. Back, fiend! This teeny bun is even squee-ier (if I’m even allowed to say that!) though she does look a tad miffed!

“Yeah. I’m da cutest bun around. Wanna make summin’ of it?”

59 Kris, in New England 06.22.06 at 4:00 pm

StormCat said: “Kris in NE – that pun was so bad, and yet I barked out loud when I read it…”

Ah – mission accomplished. By the bun of course.

And I agree, the hint of pet feet, just the hint….ah.

60 Ponygirl 06.22.06 at 4:07 pm

The Japanese really do get cute right.

61 Bubbles 06.22.06 at 4:14 pm

I second the nomination of this pic for a CO shirt. I bet if I wore it, random people would try to snorgle my stomach.

62 Bubbles 06.22.06 at 4:15 pm

Not that I condone random stomach snorgling, understand?

63 The Guy Over There 06.22.06 at 4:18 pm

The F14 of rabbits! Now with folding ears to conserve cuteness or to add to the cuteodynamic shape of the bun! :O

64 Mellissandria 06.22.06 at 4:31 pm

OMG! the ears makes this art!

65 Mick Gordon 06.22.06 at 4:36 pm

Daily bunny is adorable, faintly reminiscent of a helicopter. Do they call him Huey?

66 Aubrey 06.22.06 at 4:38 pm

Well, my brain exploded
And I started to thrash
When I saw the daily bun
Meg nodded and said to everyone there
I hope you’re having fun

Bun on the run, bun on the run
With his tail he planned
To sail and land
And end the search by every one
For the bun on the run, bun on the run
Bun on the run, bun on the run

Well, he’d undertake to hover through the sky
But stay from the sun
And the cry was raised on Cute Overload
For more rabbits on the run

Bun on the run, bun on the run
With his tail he planned
To sail and land
And end the search by every one
For the bun on the run, bun on the run

67 Sandabear 06.22.06 at 4:52 pm

I think there is a different ear-to-head-ratio here and I think it’s just as cute. Yay for ears you could almost trip over!

68 Theo 06.22.06 at 5:01 pm

Aubrey — Wings… of course. Very nice.

69 acm 06.22.06 at 5:15 pm

I’m starting to think that these folks really want Tribbles. I mean, the bunnies are uniformly tiny, cute, ovoid, and legless…

;)

70 A thinker 06.22.06 at 5:25 pm

Ovoid! One of my favourite words.

71 A thinker 06.22.06 at 5:25 pm

…my bunny gets called “ovoid”, regularly.

72 John Bachir 06.22.06 at 5:36 pm

No feet! It has to use it’s helicopter ears to move around!!

73 you guys r silly 06.22.06 at 5:52 pm

This bun reminds me of Sally Field as “The Flying Nun” !
&:o)
So…..would this bunny’s tv show be called “The Flying Bun”???

74 you guys r silly 06.22.06 at 5:55 pm

damn!!!!
Just re-read the previous posts and somebody already mentioned the Flying Nun!!!
OK…so did anyone mention how this little bun looks as if it landed on a fluffy white cloud???

75 Rachel 06.22.06 at 5:57 pm

Does anyone know what breed of bun this is?

76 hrh.squeak 06.22.06 at 6:10 pm

Just logged in. Ha!! The Japanese may hand us our behinds (buns?) on a plate with the Cute, but we hand it back with a garnish of Brilliancy. So many poets of quote and song and Shop! Of course, this bun deserves them all. Tiny disapproval of all who do not asplode from the cute, indeed.

77 Cecile 06.22.06 at 6:26 pm

Why doesn’t anybody seem to notice I’m DYING HERE!! Omg! The cute! I can’t bear it! *drops dead*

78 Amy 06.22.06 at 6:28 pm

OK, I was trying to avoid any more compliments because I don’t want Finn’s head to get to big, but…I have been snickering about that all day. Ha! And I actually don’t need “The Flight of the Valkyries” because it’s already in my head. :P

79 Theo 06.22.06 at 6:33 pm
80 rpennefe 06.22.06 at 6:40 pm

hrh.squeak: I accept your tiny disapproval for all who do not asplode from the cute.

While I’m confessing my sins I might as well go on:

Not only have I not asploded from this cute, little bun, I am trying to use my psychic powers to get Meg to give me MORE CUTE! MORE CUTE, MEG, DO YOU HEAR ME? I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY DAILY ALLOWENCE YET! I’M DYING HERE! BRING ON THE KITTEHS!

81 Claire 06.22.06 at 6:41 pm

As I’ve said before, completely out of hand! Since WHEN do bunnies have muzzlepuffs?!

Not that I’m complaining. I need a handful of these to snorgle when I’m feeling depressed.

82 Deborah 06.22.06 at 7:11 pm

Alas, this is no heliobun. This is the seldom seen, much sought after, flying bun….not to be confused with the flying nun. I am loving the soft whiskafurs springing ever so delicately from the muzzlepuffs.

83 Aubrey 06.22.06 at 7:14 pm

16 buns
And none you can pet
One more woe to shoulder
One more thing to fret

84 E. Collison 06.22.06 at 7:22 pm

Aubrey – argh!!! ;)

85 Theo 06.22.06 at 7:49 pm

…St. Peter of the Cotton Tail, here I come
Astride my ride — it’s the Flying Bun.

ba da da dum, bumpa dum, bumpa doobee doo wah…

86 The Guy Over There 06.22.06 at 7:49 pm

If they want ovoid, then they’d probably go ga ga for chinchillas. Oh, those lovely, fluffy, bun-shaped rodents…! o_o

87 hrh.squeak 06.22.06 at 7:53 pm

Alas, whenever I see a chinchilla in a pet store, all I can see in their lovely beady little eyes is *fear*. “I know you only want me on the one-at-a-time fur-coat installment plan!” Poor leetles. They need lovies in the worst way -

88 Theo 06.22.06 at 7:57 pm

This is what happens when your chinchillas grow up without getting all the love they need…

i could just eat it up

90 chacha 06.22.06 at 8:02 pm

these jabunneez are killing us all. must bury nose between those velvet ears … mwaahmmmzzz … [mouth full of flops]

91 Selo 06.22.06 at 8:21 pm

That’s ridiculous. I can snorgle it with my hands, for crying out loud.

92 greenighs 06.22.06 at 8:41 pm
93 Laurie C 06.22.06 at 8:44 pm

greenighs, LOVE IT! It’s like the Battle of Britain, only with bunnies. The Battle of Bun-tain, as it were.

94 Theo 06.22.06 at 8:58 pm

WIDESCREEN WALLPAPERS!!
::: bows down before Greenighs :::

95 Aubrey 06.22.06 at 9:13 pm

Wow. WOW.

“Propellers high? Set right and left engines – here they come:

THE FLYING WARREN!!!”

96 melonbar 06.22.06 at 9:31 pm

greenighs, thank you, thank you! That desktop wallpaper is perfect. I also immediately thought of The Ride of the Valkyries, and I see that I’m not the only one. These bunnehs are killing me.

97 Brak_Silverbone 06.22.06 at 10:27 pm

Great ’shopping, greenighs! Now I’m hearing the “Theme From ‘M*A*S*H*’” in my head. (Attention, all personnel! Incoming toxically cute bunnies!)

***snooorrrrgle**

98 petgirl 06.22.06 at 11:52 pm

ploop!

lol, love it, just love it!

99 Carolyn J. 06.23.06 at 12:03 am

I was going to say the bun looks a bit like an open DeLorean (DeLorebun) but Greenighs’ super duper Photoshops just slew me!

100 hrh.squeak 06.23.06 at 12:04 am

Greenighs – *sigh* – thank you for BunBun Nirvana. I don’t know how to make it into wallpaper, but my schmoop does, and he’s going to make this into my wallpaper *tonight* or suffer the Squeaks of Wrath.

101 kendra 06.23.06 at 12:32 am

Oh, it’s just so CUTE!

102 J. Bo 06.23.06 at 1:59 am

Cutest. Bun. Ever.

Thend.

103 E. Collison 06.23.06 at 4:02 am

greenighs and finn, good on ya! Lurves de ’shoppin, I does.

104 maggie 06.23.06 at 4:48 am

aww..that’s so cute!

105 Arvay 06.23.06 at 6:03 am

A hareplane!

106 Christy 06.23.06 at 9:16 am

*utterly incoherent squeals of OMGSOCUTE!!* Greenighs…that was amazing.

107 Rebecca 06.23.06 at 9:32 am

>>Its ears are a little like Yoda’s. But furry. And not green.< <

I think it looks more like Gizmo than Yoda.

108 bunnies 06.23.06 at 12:45 pm

1) i love daily bun.
2) this daily bun has killed me.

109 Rhea H. 06.23.06 at 9:40 pm

i’m going into saccharine shock!

110 Janni 06.24.06 at 12:28 am

First thing that came to mind: Yoda! I’m with you on this one, Sven!

111 Joni 08.16.06 at 10:54 pm

I think this picture is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
