6 Laura 03.20.08 at 4:29 am

Does that peep on the very left have 2 eyes on one side of its head? Oh well, all peeps need lovin!

7 Margaret 03.20.08 at 4:30 am

A co-worker sent this to me last week. Good times.

Is it just me or did they make the furniture from Starburst candy?

8 cronite5 03.20.08 at 4:32 am

only one word for this “oy”

9 Audrey 03.20.08 at 4:33 am

Scandalous! I love it.

10 Lindsey 03.20.08 at 4:35 am

Super cute!!

11 Carrie 03.20.08 at 4:37 am

wanders off muttering… confused

12 Renae 03.20.08 at 4:45 am

Hehehe, That’s one peep show I can get into!

13 DoodleyDog 03.20.08 at 4:47 am

PEEP show!!!! So funny I spit soda all over my screen!!!

Such mashmallowy depravity!

LMAO!

14 Subhangi 03.20.08 at 5:04 am

LOL!!! This is brilliant!!!

15 Sommer C. 03.20.08 at 5:07 am

This was from a contest held by the Washington Post last year. You can see tons more at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/gallery/070402/GAL-07Apr02-69859/index.html

16 Michelle 03.20.08 at 5:10 am

lmao@peepthongs

17 Cauliflower 03.20.08 at 5:19 am

Candy heaven…I think it’s all made of candy. :-) I like the chocolate looking stage…I like chocolate

18 Yubi Shines 03.20.08 at 5:48 am

So where are the little tassle things?

…what?

19 Yubi Shines 03.20.08 at 5:50 am

Also, you may be more right than you think, Cauliflower. The beer cans and furniture look like chewy gummies.

20 MH 03.20.08 at 5:58 am

Five stars!

21 kar 03.20.08 at 6:21 am

I think that I’ve seen this diorama before, but it had Barbie’s and little trolls.

Not figuratively, literally.

Anyway, I feel a craving for pudding coming on.

22 jenben 03.20.08 at 6:22 am

I have never laughed so hard from a CO post. You just made my entire day.

Yup, still laughing 5 minutes later…

23 Mae 03.20.08 at 6:40 am

Mmm…Sacrilicious… makes a kid look to the Easter

24 mch 03.20.08 at 6:42 am

It’s the tiiiiny little dollar bills that get to me — especially the ones tucked so carefully into the peeps’ thongs.

I’ll never look at peeps the same way again.

25 Raemie L. 03.20.08 at 6:51 am

Oh, mah, gah. I was only going to lurk right now, but now I ‘gotsta’ comment, even if it’s just to say, “it’s too moishe!”. XD

26 Niki 03.20.08 at 6:57 am

Shameless exploitation of innocent sugar coated marshmallow candy! What if their mothers see this?

27 eikoleigh 03.20.08 at 7:29 am

omg – lol!!

28 Raemie L. 03.20.08 at 7:34 am

I followed the link Sommer C. gave (Mar 19, 2008 at 10:07 PM), and whoa, nice and funny/disturbing dioramas (from Semi-finalists and Finalists, of course). And whatta way to promote Peeps Marshmallows. : P

29 Raemie L. 03.20.08 at 7:57 am

@Yubishines: Maybe pasties instead of tassels? *coughs* No, no tassels on the curtains, that is! (And otherwise, in their Easter Day suits.) If the furniture is made of Starbursts candy and the stage is made of chocolate, would the curtains be made of Red Vine candy? Eep, tiny mojitos?

30 Amanda 03.20.08 at 8:24 am

OMG! One of the yellow ones has a ciggy in his mouth!!

HIL-Ar-IOUS.

31 Staticgirl 03.20.08 at 9:20 am

That is so wrong and so right. Me confuzzled. :D

32 Alyssa Carter 03.20.08 at 9:26 am

Hahahahaha I LOVE IT! PEEP show?! Puns are awesome.

33 Gail 03.20.08 at 10:46 am

Nuff, nuff, nuff!!! ;-)

This is really good and cute, in a “wrong” kinda way!

34 tesstricks 03.20.08 at 10:48 am

The far left bunny looks like she’s crying. heehee

35 Beth 03.20.08 at 10:54 am

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That is all. :)

36 metsakins 03.20.08 at 11:28 am

I’ve seen this several times, but it always gets a chuckle out of me, (I know, I’m depraved). The tiny dollar bills! that slays me.

37 ceejoe 03.20.08 at 11:51 am

it was the tiny pasties that got me!

38 jen 03.20.08 at 11:56 am

i KNEW there had to be skeletons even in a Peeps closet!!!!

lol – hilarious AND cute. my fav combo.

39 Lioness 03.20.08 at 12:22 pm

This has got to be my favorite picture! How inventive & funny hahaha

40 Laurin 03.20.08 at 12:57 pm

Check out my blog – my husband made a peep show cake based on this picture. Only peep bunnies don’t dance for money, guys – they dance for jelly bellies!!!

41 AliceTanzer 03.20.08 at 1:08 pm

The pole is a gray crayola colored pencil. You can see the edge of the shiny gold logo. Whoever did this is really inventive, and I’m so emailing this to my mother on easter.

42 SuSea 03.20.08 at 1:23 pm

Shouldn’t the chicks be the ones on stage??

43 Nancy 03.20.08 at 1:30 pm

Brilliant! SuSea, those chicks are kinda FAT.

Nancy

44 Courtney 03.20.08 at 1:55 pm

This is hilarious! The other peep dioramas for the Washington Post contest were great. I think my favorite is the one of the Metro stop during rush hour.

45 VT Dude 03.20.08 at 2:12 pm

Here’s a shout out to my Peeps…

46 Mandy! 03.20.08 at 2:12 pm

…shouldn’t the chics be on stage :P

47 AuntieMame 03.20.08 at 2:14 pm

Peeps pasties! And they have dollar bills in their g-strings! *snort*

But who owns the strip joint? Ivan the Terrible? Do you get more tips if you impale yourself?

48 leah b. 03.20.08 at 2:27 pm

Good greif I thought I had gone to wrong web page for a second…. just kidding

between the funny money and the pole dancer I cannot decide which part makes me laugh the hardest….

49 Jen 03.20.08 at 2:29 pm

Dolla Dolla Bill Ya’ll!

50 grannymoon 03.20.08 at 2:54 pm

Oh, how I love them peeps. What fond, sugar-soaked memories they bring back to me of my fundy Baptist Easters of yore… wait a sec – those peeps are behaving in a sinful and licentious manner…little scamps! For more peep-related fun, you must check out the institute of peep research (if already noted, sorry!) here: http://www.peepresearch.org/.

51 cath 03.20.08 at 3:37 pm

Awesome! I loves me some peep dioramas. This one’s gorgeous. Now I wanna ditch my work and make one of my own… but I don’t think we have peeps here in Canada.

Thanks for the WAPO link, Sommer. Some awesome peep-o-ramas there, but I didn’t see this one among them. I did, however, fall in love with the PEEP-ing Tom scene. OMG the eyes!!

Also, scrapnknit, your husband RAWKS.

Mae, “sacrilicious” is sooo– entering my vocabulary.

LOL at all you peeps.

52 Beano 03.20.08 at 3:40 pm

There’s a whole thing on Washington Post with these pics.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/gallery/070402/GAL-07Apr02-69859/index.html
And this video I just found is a really funny Peep-themed
one.

53 Vallie 03.20.08 at 4:06 pm

Hey Cath, I’m from Canada too and I saw Peeps for sale at Walmart. Just in case you really do want to make your own diorama. ;)

54 kestrien 03.20.08 at 4:15 pm

I made Peep rice krispie treats for the second year in a row! So sugary your teeth practically dissolve. Happy spring, everybody.

55 michii 03.20.08 at 4:34 pm

okay .. I had no idea what to expect from the title, but man, this is so much better than anything I COULD have imagined :D Well done~ And those are some pretty awesome tiny dollar bills.

56 Susan 03.20.08 at 4:55 pm

This is just so wrong, on every level.

57 Susan 03.20.08 at 4:58 pm

Interpeepsies snorgling!

58 Licorice's Mommy 03.20.08 at 5:09 pm

Giggle- the sugar and the sugar shake!!
I’m from Canada too and I get my Peeps from Shoppers Drug Mart… gonna go get some and let loose the imagination… hmmm…

59 Kiragirl 03.20.08 at 5:12 pm

I thought tomorrow was Good Friday, no way—it’s BAD friday, get down and boogie my peeps.

60 Birdcage 03.20.08 at 5:13 pm

I am relatively new to this site and I have to say ….. peeps are strange, when you’re a stranger …..

61 Caturday 03.20.08 at 5:15 pm

That is sooooo cute !! lol

62 Kiragirl 03.20.08 at 5:24 pm

If we could have only done dioramas this THIS in 5th grade it wouldn’t have been so tortuous.

63 Juniper Jupiter 03.20.08 at 5:24 pm

That was blatantly stolen from Cheezburger!! I saw that a couple of days ago!! But it’s still funny! XD!!

64 Catsquatch 03.20.08 at 5:54 pm

:snork:

65 Jim 03.20.08 at 6:14 pm

Ah, Birdcage, you’ll fit in around here just fine.

66 Theo 03.20.08 at 6:17 pm

Juniper — coupla points here…
1) it’s not FROM teh Cheez, they just posted it before we did; it’s most likely from the Washington Post (though I haven’t been able to find this *specific* photo… outtake?)
2) you might wanna try clicking the link at the bottom of the post, you know, the one that says “We’re not alone” in [brackets]

67 anner 03.20.08 at 6:23 pm

i like how they had to make legs on the bunnys so they could put garters on them!

68 cheryl 03.20.08 at 6:25 pm

love this. actually, it’s from The Pioneer Press peep diorama contest from last year.
http://photo.twincities.com/index.php/2007/04/07/peeps-diorama/

69 katrina Gwinn 03.20.08 at 6:26 pm

i have never seen a religious holiday include a stripper pole before!

70 Theo 03.20.08 at 6:36 pm

Cheryl — nicely done! Good eye!!
(I should’ve been able to spot that myself, dang it… I live in Eagan!)

71 bboss 03.20.08 at 6:39 pm

Just shocking! Soft porn on the internet! (sorry, I had to say it).

72 Theo 03.20.08 at 6:43 pm

BBoss — just wait till they get stale.

73 warrior rabbit 03.20.08 at 7:08 pm

Theo, ICHC commenters said it was from the Chicago Tribune.

74 Theo 03.20.08 at 7:23 pm

Warrior — it took some doing, because that link doesn’t totally work, but I was able to find the photo on the Chicago Tribune site… without any info attached. That set of slides appears to be a semi-public “upload your own peep photo” page. Close, but no pink marshmallow cigar.

The Pioneer Press link does appear to have the original, with proper credit & everything.

75 Cat-man-do 03.20.08 at 7:39 pm

Shouldn’t it have been the chicks on the pole?

76 CCH 03.20.08 at 7:44 pm

Hey, it’s hard out there for a peep! Peepin’ ain’t easy!

77 Juniper Jupiter 03.20.08 at 8:24 pm

I did, Theo! I’m just play-nuffin’! ‘Sides ICHC is hardly pimped out here anymore! GAHD! You can be such a neenerhead!:P Much love, bro!

78 Theo 03.20.08 at 8:45 pm

…”neenerhead” ??

79 Anasztaizia 03.20.08 at 9:15 pm

“Just shocking! Soft porn on the internet! (sorry, I had to say it).

bboss | Mar 20, 2008 at 11:39 AM “

That gave me a hearty chuckle, hahahaha!

This post reminds me, I need to go buy peeps for our Easter traditionz – Peep JOUSTING! =D

80 Anasztaizia 03.20.08 at 9:23 pm

Btw – has anyone looked around on the Peepresearch site metioned above? The solubility test results are a little disturbing!

81 yankeebird 03.20.08 at 9:33 pm

Tesstricks, that makes me think of a line from a Bloodhound Gang song: “a lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying”.

82 gravyboat 03.20.08 at 9:44 pm

As a stripper, I get a big kick out of this picture.

83 Whitney 03.20.08 at 9:49 pm

Are the chairs even made of Starburst? seriously? haha…

84 tesstricks 03.20.08 at 10:48 pm

Yeah, schadenfreude really helps me shell out the singles. :P

85 Juniper Jupiter 03.20.08 at 11:45 pm

**Sigh**
Tsk, tsk, Theo! You don’t remember this Garfield strip?
http://garfield.nfshost.com/1992/03/08/
Neenerhead! :P

86 Kim 03.21.08 at 12:33 am

I’m shocked that no one else finds this sad or offensive.

87 Theo 03.21.08 at 1:35 am

I’m shocked that no one called me on my “pink marshmallow cigar” crack.

88 Furbabies 03.21.08 at 1:53 am

I am shocked that anyone could think this was anything but cute. It’s only candy! Loosen up Kim. You’re wound too tight.

89 bcteagirl 03.21.08 at 2:18 am

I am shocked it took so long for kim to show up! :P

90 Fuzzykitteh 03.21.08 at 4:16 am

Oh that is hilarious!! I started laughing and couldn’t stop!!

91 Kaitou Juliet 03.21.08 at 1:12 pm

So wrong–so very, very wrong–but so funny!

92 Laurin 03.21.08 at 5:18 pm

Thanks, dear editors, for adding my blog URL earlier, and cath, you’re right – my DH RAWKS! He was so cute painting pasties and “patches” on all the little bunnies, and struggled to make the pretzel pole support the dancer’s weight. And the substitution of jelly beans for dollars is totally inspired. What else would Peep show dancers dance for?

Happiest Easters and / or Passover and / or spring rites of your choice to all!

93 mom2twinzz 03.23.08 at 5:22 am

The COlumbus Dispatch in Columbus Ohio just announced the winners Friday in their Pimp your Peeps contest. The winner was a diarama of Harry Potter. The other Entries can be found here. http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/multimedia/daily_slideshows/2008/03/peeps.html

94 Brie 03.23.08 at 7:09 pm

When good peeps go bad!!!
Loves it!

95 Lauren 03.26.08 at 1:16 am

“Sacrilicious” is from the Simpsons.
