I’m a bunneh, therefore I disapprove

by Meg on April 9, 2008

Oh, and IN ADDITION,  I ALSO disapprove of you disapproving of my disapproval.


Ronnie, originally uploaded by Little Bay Poo.

Disapproval is just built right in to us bunnehs. It comes naturally, like kitteh aloofness, am I right Beth B.?

Definitely called this as “the best example of disapproval of all time.” I stand firmly beside my statement! Disapproval, ho!

2 Annie 04.09.08 at 4:11 pm

Harumph.. who told YOU that Outfit looked good on you?
Sheesh when are you gonna learn to check with the Bun bun First before you go out.

3 warrior rabbit 04.09.08 at 4:13 pm

Hey, I recognize that rabbit, carpet, and pet gate! Ronnie lives with cwazy wabbit Billy, whose ‘Real Energizer Bunny’ clip I have submitted several times. (But I’m not part of the submission clique, so…) Aww, what a sweetie Ronnie is. Even through the disapproval.

4 Hon Glad 04.09.08 at 4:14 pm

I approve of your disapproval, high dudgeon, contempt,disdain and hauteur.

5 warrior rabbit 04.09.08 at 4:16 pm

katerpie, have you met Mr. Browny Brown? http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/2008/03/mr-browny-brown.html

And the Billy video I mentioned is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7HiO9rzU_aw

6 Kaye 04.09.08 at 4:18 pm

It’s okay, bunneh, because I approve of your disapproval. (But do I approve of your disapproval of my approval of your disapproval?)

7 Babs 04.09.08 at 4:24 pm

Whoa. This bun’s disapproval is burning my soul. Ouch.

8 Theo 04.09.08 at 4:24 pm

KaterPie — who you callin “Disapproval Ho” ?!?

9 Theo 04.09.08 at 4:25 pm

Hon Glad — wow, practically an ABECEDARIAN disapproval!!

10 katerpie 04.09.08 at 4:29 pm

warrior rabbit: Theo, too, presented that case! While Mr. Browny Brown is no doubt disapproving to the extreme, he has the aid of lighting effects.. *puts on spectacles to re-examine*

The debate lives on!

11 Georgia 04.09.08 at 4:31 pm

This bunny definitely means business; I don’t think I would split “hares” with him….

12 brighteyes 04.09.08 at 4:35 pm

It’s General Woundwort! Bigwig would disapprove.

13 warrior rabbit 04.09.08 at 4:37 pm

I think Mr. Browny Brown benefits from perspective more than lighting, but in the end they are two distinct genres: Ronnie exhibits Dismayed Disapproval™ while Mr. Browny Brown epitomizes Sinister Disapproval™.

14 Courtney 04.09.08 at 4:48 pm

AAAAAAAH those eyes!

I think if a human looked at me like this, I would burst into tears!

*pats bunneh on the head anyway*

15 Mary (the first) 04.09.08 at 4:57 pm

He looks like Andy Rooney to me.

16 Mary (the first) 04.09.08 at 4:58 pm

(not that there’s anything wrong with that .. haha)

17 Beth 04.09.08 at 5:41 pm

That bunny did not approve that message. :) That is one harumphing bun bun… with delicious EARS!

18 bookmonstercats 04.09.08 at 6:03 pm

I APPROVE of your disapproval, so that’s OK then? Please don’t disapprove any longer.

19 hey-h 04.09.08 at 6:03 pm

Oh, bunny, I approval of your disapproval 100%!

20 CoffeeCup 04.09.08 at 6:04 pm

Lest we forget, this is the same bun that was featured in the first photo on this post: http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/316045/27647192

As soon as I saw the severe disapproval, I knew I had seen the flickr stream before! You just don’t forget this kind of burning disapproval!!

21 chanpon 04.09.08 at 6:05 pm

This bunny looks like he’s gagging with disapproval.

22 megusmaximus 04.09.08 at 6:10 pm

Agreed, chanpon – I was thinking his disapproval was more like, “I disappove of whatever the hell it was I just ate.”

23 grandefilel 04.09.08 at 6:12 pm

Holy Hannah.

I am duly chastened, Mr. Bunneh. I shall not risk your wrath again.

~ skulks off, disapproved-of ~

24 grandefille 04.09.08 at 6:14 pm

~ skulks back, haltingly ~

Ahem.

Mr. Bunneh, sir?

Your leeps are the most disapproving leeps I have ever met. They are positively bendy with disapproval. I commend you.

~ rushes away, fearfully ~

25 Kat 04.09.08 at 6:21 pm

Buns have been disapproving of us hoomans for eons now. How DARE you take that picture, honestly.

That little white frown! so precious..

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s125/crashride57/oliver.jpg
that is my own little disapprover, but I have yet to capture him and his outright mocking disapproval in a picture, he just does it when no one else is looking, then uses my chest as a trampoline.. ::snicker::

26 Kar 04.09.08 at 6:46 pm

He looks like he just ate a lemon. I wanna give him a milkshake or something sweet so he’s not so disproving! Maybe an egg cream?

27 Theresa 04.09.08 at 6:47 pm

Kat, he is INSANELY cute.

28 Theresa 04.09.08 at 6:49 pm

Savanorola Bunny prepares for Bonfire of the Vanities.

29 edward 04.09.08 at 6:56 pm

He reminds me so much of my much-missed bun. ‘I disapprove of activities that do not involve being stroked on the head or being given treats. Specifically, banana-flavoured treats, perhaps with a yogurt covering. Now make with the nose-rubbing and the treat giving, or it will get ugly in here.’

30 edward 04.09.08 at 6:57 pm

Kat; he’s gorgeous. Treasure him. Maybe get him a friend? There’s ALWAYS an excuse to go to the rescue centre.

31 claudia 04.09.08 at 7:27 pm

It’s like he’s about to smack me for my stupidity! O_o

Mommy!

32 ThreeCatNight 04.09.08 at 7:41 pm

Sir J. Smedlington Bunneh-Haire has but one thing to say to you:
“Harrumph! I say there, bloody humans AGAIN?!”

33 sharon 04.09.08 at 7:52 pm

i wish he were a solid milk chocolate bunny. oh, sorry, i need a snack. he is seriously cute tho.

34 izzy 04.09.08 at 7:55 pm

I think the caption on this should be:

I AM BUNNEH, therefore I disapprove.

Subtle but significant.

35 PJ 04.09.08 at 7:56 pm

So much disapproval that it takes an extra-large muzzlepouch to contain it!

36 Budgie Blogger 04.09.08 at 8:24 pm

Queen Victoria must have been a bun. “We are not amused”.

37 Joan Carlson 04.09.08 at 8:30 pm

Good heavens!!

That is quite a case of disapproval – with a hint of ‘disbelief-at-the-AUDACITY’ thrown in!

That Bunnette should have quite a brilliant career of disapproving ahead of him – we should all keep tabs on him to see the towering new heights of disapproval and distain he is able to convey with one pouting glower after another.

38 kgb 04.09.08 at 8:37 pm

i think he also looks SHOCKED at how much disapproval needs to be applied

39 Wombats 04.09.08 at 8:46 pm

I’m SURE this bunneh would disapprove of these approvals of his disapprovy-ness!

40 Joan Carlson 04.09.08 at 8:47 pm

Yes – he looks positively shocked.

41 leah b. 04.09.08 at 8:49 pm

I think this bun’s disapproval even out does Nigel’s( don’t forget to thank Aunt Ethel for your sweater) post. This bun totally disaprroves everything right now.

42 cosmiquemuffin 04.09.08 at 9:12 pm

I believe I am scarred for life by the overwhelming impact of this bunneh’s disapproval…

They call him MISTER Bunneh.

And they doff their cap, if they know what’s good for ‘em.

*Harumph*

43 A thinker 04.09.08 at 9:34 pm

Bunnies even disapprove if you APPROVE of their disapproval.

No matter what, Bunnies must disapprove.

44 Theresa 04.09.08 at 9:49 pm

“Can I get a ‘Harrumph’ out of you?”

45 Gail 04.09.08 at 10:17 pm

@Theresa: Harrummphh!!!

There’s a certain astonishment that goes with the disapproval that just sends it over the edge.

“I’m shocked, SHOCKED that I have to remind you to deliver my tea and carrots to the solarium, Jeeves!!”

46 binky-mama 04.09.08 at 10:21 pm

I am SO ashamed….and I don’t know why!

47 jen 04.09.08 at 10:29 pm

i didn’t realize disapproval could reach such extremes. i am in the presence of severe and chronic bunneh disapproval, good gawd.

48 CoffeeCup 04.10.08 at 12:29 am

I think he’s saying “I TOLD you that you couldn’t go out with him!”

49 Theresa 04.10.08 at 1:17 am

Nigel? Is that Nigel Incubator-Jones?

50 Jewels 04.10.08 at 3:20 am

Warrior Rabbit, we could start a clique of people who have tried…and failed…to get submishes on Cute Overload.

After all there is more of us than there is of them, muhahahaha.

51 leah b. 04.10.08 at 3:32 am

Theresa, I am gonna try and a do a link for you on Nigels posting.
But if it does not work its Dec 19,2007 Nigel Don’t Forget to thank Aunt Ethel for your sweater.

sorry but some else help me Both my links broke ?!?!?!?!

Sorry

54 Subhangi 04.10.08 at 4:37 am

Oh noes. Is Bunny disapproving of me approving his disapproval?

[headspin]

55 Shiloh 04.10.08 at 6:08 am

It’s my Ronnie boy again! He is one of my favorite bunnies, I can hardly believe how adorable he is… <3 Ronnie <3

56 berthaslave 04.10.08 at 6:40 am

There is definitely an undercurrent of shock mixed with the disapproval here. Something suspiciously British is going on. Very Watership Down.

Is there any other animal who can pull off the Disapproving Cute? No. I think no.

57 LadyMeerkat 04.10.08 at 9:12 am

It’s a very interesting example of textbook Bunneh Disapproval. In this case we see a subtle combination of repulsion, shock and affrontage at the audacity of the human slave who dares to capture this Bunneh’s likeness with a cyclopic, inedible box… instead of making with the head rubs in that spot that makes bunneh’s hind leg go thumpity thump :)

59 acelightning 04.10.08 at 11:45 am

Yes, that certainly is world-class Disapproval. And any bunny who Disapproves so intensely has to be at least part British. Harrumph!

60 wagthedogma 04.10.08 at 12:02 pm

This disapproving bun isn’t just shocked, affronted and disgusted and at the sheer audacity of the humans in his domain. He is also very clearly appalled. Approaching APPALLLLLLED.

61 Theresa 04.10.08 at 12:30 pm

BLAH ha!
look at that mouth stretch!

63 warrior rabbit 04.10.08 at 3:14 pm

@Theresa – bwa ha ha ha ha ha! Esp. Martin Luther and Queen Victoria.

I guess no one looked at Ronnie’s housemate Billy’s Bunny 500 video that I linked earlier (still my favorite, http://youtube.com/watch?v=7HiO9rzU_aw ), but there’s also a cute one of Ronnie the Shocked Disapprover…approving: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VlqASup5dt8

64 arielle 04.10.08 at 4:33 pm

all i can say is MUZZLEPOWSCH.

65 Theresa 04.10.08 at 4:45 pm

@warrior rabbit– I DID, I DEED look at the Billy video!

66 Theresa 04.10.08 at 4:46 pm

PS Ronnie is doing serious damage to his Pillar of Disapproval image in that second vid.

67 Noelle 04.10.08 at 5:21 pm

I disapprove of your disapproving of my diapproval of your diapproval, however I maintain your right to disapprove of my disapproving of your disapproval and I approve of the cuteness.

Ouch–that hurt my brain.

68 Theresa 04.10.08 at 5:32 pm

I disapprove your disapproval of my disapproval, but I will defend to the death your right to disapprove of my disapproval of your disapproval of . . .

69 Shepard 04.10.08 at 5:41 pm

does anyone else see the little mouse/shrew like creature pretending to be this bunneh’s left front paw?

70 zeldapie 04.10.08 at 5:44 pm

Holy wall-eyes! How can this bun see straight ahead? Man, I’d disapprove, too. HARUMPH!
(I was nearly knocked over by the disapproval. Am still recoving.)

71 warrior rabbit 04.10.08 at 5:56 pm

@Shepard…I tried, but I just see a bunny footsie.

72 DCN 04.10.08 at 6:14 pm

Theresa—BUNFIRE of the Vanities, please.

73 Theresa 04.10.08 at 6:43 pm

Eeeek! You’re right!

74 Derby 04.10.08 at 8:48 pm

Hmmm…not bad – kid has a few things to learn, tho’

75 s g 04.10.08 at 9:02 pm

heh – looks like Dick Cheney.

76 Sarah 04.10.08 at 9:39 pm

Is disapproval its own category yet?

77 warrior rabbit 04.10.08 at 11:59 pm
