I’m going ALL THE WAY TO CHINA, MoFos!
Watch me! Ehn [shovels dirt out the way]
Lindsay W., great find—sounds like Indiana Jones there.
wow. that bun is just in a digging frenzy. I think we’ve finally found something rabbits approve of…
That is tewtally buntastic. Just started re-reading Watership Down…it’s Fiver digging a new warren!
Wowee! I am thoroughly impressed, mostly with the size of that dig, but also with the beauty of the bun.
And whiskers is right–the bun most assuredly approves!
I love how the dog is all like, “No, I refuse to be in your silly bunny movie; it is beneath my digniteh. Get the camera off me now.”
What a happy, Loved and well cared for bun bun!! All buns should be so lucky!!
God, I’ve been trying to get this up on CO for months. I loff Howard.
Okay…THREE thingks I would like to point oot:
#1: As lurker pointed oot, OMG KISCA PUP!! MINE MINE MINE!!!
(@ 0:50 if you guys can’t wait that long!)
#2: Bun bun veg nommage @ aboot 1:50 (Lurves how dee leeps move! and,
#3: What kinda DOOFUS puts a LEASH on a BUN BUN!!?? No wonder she was digging the way she was, LOL!!(which by the way, the tunnel WAS quite impressive!) (although, the bun bun WAS cute, so MAYBE she didn’t want her to escape, dunno)
I completely dig this video!
(Ahem. Sorry… I’ll show myself out.)
I’m so happy for this bun – lurving it!! What a great owner this lil fella must have – the bun looks reeeeally happy.
FYI, the music is from the movie, Willow.
Very cute, but that is also why I don’t have bunnies.
.. and geraniums for all!
Great to see someone letting a bun be a bun!
What a destructive little bun!
What a happy and fulfilled bun. I should be so lucky!
That leash is clearly for the bun’s own safety! All that digging, he’d be under a road in no time and *woosh*, no more bun.
the bun is really humming “the great escape” theme.
Arthur: Jesus Christ!
Tim: I warned you.
Arthur: That rabbit’s dynamite!
Wow. That’s quite a warren! And most humans wouldn’t stand for ANY bunneh to scar up their perfect lawn like that. I like this person already!!
what a gorgeous bun! i have never seen a bunny that looked like that.
The dog’s all like “I’m all the way over here, don’t go trying to pin that hole on me!”
Adorable widdle bun bun.
This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen this posted! It is that awse. Howard’s attention to detail is outstanding. “I smooooth out the dirt, and then I nom the grasses into a purfect circle like so. No dirt piles in MY burrow, no sirree!”
“What kinda DOOFUS puts a LEASH on a BUN BUN!!??”
Um, me? And anyone else who wants their bunny to enjoy the outside without escaping and getting killed?
Au contraire, leash-nuffer. My college friend used to walk her bun-bun (you read that right) and a leash was a must.
Bun, to all you Alcatraz losers: “You’re doing it wrong!”
Gorgeuos bun, great theme music. What did the neighbors say when they came home and saw their lawn?
the theme music is from WILLOW! right? right?
Between that bunny and the Siberian Husky in the background, I’m amazed there is any lawn left there at all. Next get a shot of the den the Siberian will dig. Siberians are champion diggers.
Oh, calm down, folx…I am NOT a leash-nuffer! To be totally honest, though, this is the absolute FIRST time I saw one on a BUN BUN, LOL!!! Trust me, I know that outside pet bun buns (that aren’t properly gated) need to be leashed…she did let go of it so the bun bun could hop and dig!!
That was the single most amazing video I have ever seen.
This beats anything Nick Park has ever done.
I’m really sad right now, but watching this video made me smile..
For the first time ever, I got ‘Video no longer available’ and I almost panicked. I too wanted to see the bun digging, and hear the ‘Willow’ theme music (best fantasy movie ever, BTW).
But I took a deep breath, and tried again, and all was good.
What I can’t figure out is why nobody has mentioned the fact that the bun has a bell on his collar?
The bun with the bell would fit right in with ‘Willow’ as something for the brownies to ride.
Digging to find Wallace and Gromits hiding hole????!!!
I can see Gromit rolling his eyes now ….lol
Excellent camera work and sound! And really extra congratulations to the bun on some find digging work there.
This was truly awesome. The videography was top notch, the bun was gorgeous, and that hole was impressive!
Bunneh- “Must dig! Oooh, grass! Well, i wouldn’t mind stopping for a nibbleh or twooo”
OMG. The smoothing out of the dirt is the best!
Au contraire. He’s not digging to China . . . he’s digging to Wonderland, of course!
Great movie! Ditto on the camera work…above and beyond the YOuTube standard of filming. That has to be the coolest bun ever.
Can he/she help me with my yard work?
That was just darn impressive, in addition to adorable.
Now I miss having bunnies!
Let me guess: The bunny’s girlfriend is in China?
I kept waiting for it to lay a beautiful easter egg in the hole.
What a fabulous work ethic. Work very hard, but take a few breaks for snacks, to stretch your legs or to just take a look around. Only a few breaks though, then it’s back at it.
My husband is a contractor. Bun is hired!
wow that bun can dig! I agree, the smoothing out of the dirt is just too much!
EPIC.
DEXTER FISHMORE–I can do a lot worse than that…
“Hot diggity bun, diggity
boom-what you do to me!”
(Originally there was a dog in the song, but his part was cut because he
took no interest in the
project.) I will leave quietly…
Bun:”I’m building a home, I’m building a home…oh wait I already have one! Oh well!”
What a pleasure to see a bunny whose human considers what bunnylikes…Love the determined “Oh, if I can dig faster…I can maybe escapes!”
Love the dog at one point sitting there going “If I do that they yell at me. Hmmf.”
The creator of the video (and owner of the bun?) is actually a guy. For some reason, that makes the whole thing cuter. What a cool guy he must be to drop ExcavaBun on his gorgeous lawn, sit back with a supply of flower petals and a video camera, and let the movie write itself.
Something a Bun can approve of.
What an impressive project! My bunbuns used to like eating flower paddles. It’s interesting that after being nommed by them, flowers just stopped growing… And it made my dad really sad… hahaha, and he called them “stinky moufs”.
I don’t know…there seems to be a massive amount of disapproval around :40.
Once again, we apply Occam’s Razor and state the obvious:
The Bun is auditioning for a part in the all-woodland-creature remake of “Stalag 17.” He kind of looks like Bill Holden in profile.
And like Bill, he will insist on being paid in nommable purple flowers.
The dog will play the Peter Graves part.
I love the dirt flying onto the camera bits. And bun smoothing the dirt around, that is one cleaver bun.
Do you think bun does this every weekend after kind owner has spent the week fixing the grass? Then everyone gets to celebrate with geraniums yeah!
Really a great digger… thats really cute..
‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!’
That’s such a beauuutiful bunny! Such big ears and eyes…and beautiful colouring…and so much energy!
I am really impressed! That bunny knows how to dig.
Hey, it’s RUBBER DUCK! Such
endearing comments in rubberduckstyle.
That is a rad bun. The music is the “Madmartigan” sword theme song from Willow, from whenever Val Kilmer starts whooping a*s in defense of Willow and the baby. I love how it makes bunny seem all heroic in his massive diggingks.
what a lucky bunny. most pet bunnies don’t get to do real rabbit stuff like that.
I was so focused on the digging that I totally missed the dog!! I had to go back and rewatch!
Funny bunny, and one nice owner to let him do that – of course, it’s probably his neighbor’s yard or the people he’s house sitting for! haha
will the bunny now just enjoy his burrow, or will the next day bring a fresh dig?
ps would that this bunny had worked on The Big Dig in Boston
Awww, poor doggie…
Hes all “This is so totally unfair. They NEVER let ME dig up the lawn.”
I too was thinking “The Great Escape”. Maybe the bunny was a WWII airman in another life.
The burrow does look all cozy. May I come and visit BunBun. I’ll bring the snacks!
does he have a weekend free?
i want a diving pool
“I disapprove of this lawn being where a perfectly nice carrot patch could sprout. I will speak to my landscaper as soon as I finish this digging project…”
That bunny is a rex (or mini rex) breed, they are the best since the fur is soooo soooo soft and doesn’t shed as much as other breeds. I have a mini rex who likes to dig in the mulch pile.
I see Rab-Martigan is quite the digger!
Wonderful wonderful video. Triumphant, too. What a great way to start my day!
That bunneh is hardcore.
that bunny has beautiful colorings. Black martin or black otter, I think? So cute!
[Black Adder, for my money... - Ed.]
It’s the part where he’s pushing the dirt outta the way wif his little bun bun pawsies that kills me.
And pausing to clean his face!
GaK! I love when buns, or rodents in general, clean their faces. My late hammie Gus would do it constantly, but we would say he was rockin’ the mic! And did this bun REALLY get a rose petal snack! Lucky!
The doggie is doing his best Sgt. Shultz impression…”I see nuss-ink!”
Are you SURE it’s from Willow? “Concentrate, Willow.”
This bun is very lucky to have such cool and loving parents. Weee!
This vid meets the Ofiiical Bun Thump of Approval.
That’s a very bizzee bunnee! And so happy to be diggingk!
My smallest rat terrier, Heidi (Baby), is a digger. It’s her job, and she digs on command. I point to a spot and say “Dig, dig, Baby” and she immediately obliges. We’re both very proud of her work ethic.
My other rat terrier, Holly, is rather lazy about digging. But she is a certified “softologist”. Her job is to test the softness of pillows and to spread the wisdom of having the softest of pillows in any circumstance. For instance, Holly says there would be less unrest in the world if world leaders had softer pillows. I concur, wholeheartedly!
I guess we have to wait for the sequel to find out if Bundiana Jones finds what he’s looking for.
it’s tawtoleh Watership Down
GO FIVER!!!!!
Watch out for hrududu!!!
Oh yeah, thanks a whole lot. Now I have a mental image of a bunneh with his ears pushed out to the sides by his fedora…
LOL@Black Adder
WILLLLOOOOOOOWWWWW
What a handsome bun Howard is.
he music is from willow, indiana jones was close, but no cigar, i beleive it is john williams tho.
A Room of Bun’s Own.
I’m right there with you trippy-gypsy, maybe holes cut in his hat for his ears, and so it will stay on better, a la Bugs Bunny…
i think this is SHOCKING you shouldnt keep your rabbit on a chain like that no wonder it was trying to escape!!!!
[I'm tempted to shame you three different ways, but you might be 11 years old in real life. Think before typing, please. - Ed.]
Super. Adorable. Bun.
I wonder how long he was at it? Moar prease!
What a lucky bun! To have an owner who lets him dig up the yard and eat his garden.
Yeah, I wondered about that too. But, it did make for a good video.
Me likes the velvety, coffee-colored fur. Vid + music + comments makes me think of sunny Saturday afternoons.
If I was held CAPTIVE and was bound with CHAINS, I too would try to dig my way out in a frenzy!
Come on lil bud! Just dig a lil bit more we’ll be in china soon! xD
