A shocking new bunny emotion

by Meg on July 23, 2009

We all know there is immense and ample evidence of bunny disapproval. And now, there is the look of bunnular shock that can be added to their repertoire:

By the way, Sener-Inner Connie L. says bun “Louie” likes to wear “carrot lipstick.”

It looks like he is carrying around a froot loop.

2 katiedid 07.23.09 at 9:06 am

OoO
If you disapprove of disapproving you are disapproving!!!! Its a slippery slope all rabbits fall down at one point in their lives.. like boxes for cats.. it just happens..

3 DKN 07.23.09 at 9:06 am

Now I totally want carrot leepsteeck.

And this is like shock AND disapproval all rolled into one. Love it.

4 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 9:07 am

Is that really his lip? Can they do that? (I’m not intimately acquainted with any bun-buns, sadly.)

5 Alana 07.23.09 at 9:09 am

My guinea pig Elvis is also a fan of the carrot lipstick.

6 Nikki 07.23.09 at 9:13 am

Just look at his leeps! So adorable.

7 Von Zeppelin 07.23.09 at 9:16 am

Meg, I’m not sure you are interpreting this picture correctly. I think this rabbit is actually whistling the “Colonel Bogie March.” The World War II era lyrics disapproved of the . . . erm. . . personal anatomy of certain leaders of Nazi Germany. Thus, this is, in fact, musical bunny disapproval.

8 Kelsey 07.23.09 at 9:17 am

MUST. NOT. KEES. SCREEN!!!!

*Ugh!* My coworkers are getting sick of me spraying windex in here…

9 Leslie (NTA) 07.23.09 at 9:20 am

Did this bring on a “Mr. Bill” (SNL, 1970s) flashback for anyone else ????

10 kat 07.23.09 at 9:22 am

haha the bunny must have seen the monkey on cat action in the previous post

i like how the carrot is there – i imagine it falling out of his mouth as his jaw drops

11 Dona 07.23.09 at 9:39 am

He’s all, “You wore THAT to the interview?”

12 260Oakley 07.23.09 at 9:45 am

There is a cosmetics line called “Yes to Carrots”. I wonder if the bun would be interested.

13 biscuithead 07.23.09 at 9:48 am

Von Zeppelin is right: it’s bunny whistling!
Alana is also right: guinea peeg leeps are like this too!

14 chanpon 07.23.09 at 9:50 am

Bunny leeeps!! Oooooooooooo

15 chickadee022 07.23.09 at 9:52 am

Loreal or Revlon needs to recreate cute carrot shock color ASAP!

16 Jen 07.23.09 at 9:57 am

Yes, those are his leeps. Bunny leeps look like that. My two bun-buns sport this look a lot.

17 Mary (the first) 07.23.09 at 10:00 am

er, Kat? I think that was a “monkey” on DOG action .. in the previous post..

18 Katrina 07.23.09 at 10:04 am

Now, biscuithead, Von Zeppelin, I fear you may have gotten close, but no cigar.
Indeed this may be whistling bun, but I see a different use/mission for said whistling. This does not look to be a martial bun. No, no, this seems more of a bun-of-alarm, whistlng, as it may, perhaps from alarm over the Solar Eclipse which it could not witness first hand and so, won’t get to see another for some 124 years, or more understandably, the current state of world affairs. I see this as a more global-nay, universal-bunnular signalling or, perhaps, comment, from the bun-on-the-spot reporting.

19 LisaL 07.23.09 at 10:11 am

Bunbun just found out that Bruce Willis was actually dead in the Sixth Sense! *bunneh gasp!*

*joke.. welcome to 10yrs ago!*

20 KittyAdventures 07.23.09 at 10:14 am

Bunny is shocked .. Shocked I tell you… and appauled at the state of the carrots in his dish!

21 Aylin Celik 07.23.09 at 10:26 am

22 Aylin Celik 07.23.09 at 10:27 am

pls watch this Love Story cover if you like

23 aloria 07.23.09 at 10:36 am

Oh my. I must smooch those tiny little leeps post-haste.

24 aaaaa 07.23.09 at 10:36 am

Connie, I can’t tell you how much this looks like my no-longer-with-me Netherlands Dwarf. This reminds me of how hilariously, pathetically little his mouth would open no matter how hard he stretched/yawned. Awww.

25 skippymom 07.23.09 at 10:45 am

Mary, I believe Kat was referring to the video of the monkey making out with the cat, not the post about the orangutan and the tick hound.

26 Lauren 07.23.09 at 10:45 am
27 Kallisto 07.23.09 at 10:48 am

The Horror, the horror.
Yep, that’s shock and horror if ever I saw one.

28 Bugg 07.23.09 at 11:00 am

I never realized bunnies had such full lips! Who’da guessed?!

29 Paunchie 07.23.09 at 11:11 am

Steek zee carrotte here (mouf) <—-

Maybe it's Maybelline!

30 Theo 07.23.09 at 11:13 am

*TEH GASP* 8O

31 Jessica H 07.23.09 at 11:17 am

Wow, its amazing you caught the moment! I have the hardest time catching my bunny’s funny faces and many funny faces has he!

32 skippymom 07.23.09 at 11:34 am

Heh-heh, I just read my comment 25 again, and was struck by a point others have occasionally made. This site sure does lead us to say some things raaaather unlike normal everyday things you tend to hear on the street.

33 Metz 07.23.09 at 11:34 am

That’s Miss Crumplebottom’s bunny from teh Sims!!
“I am shocked and dismay-no Appalled! Appalled by your behaviour!!!”
Be careful or bun-bun is gonna whip out teh brick filled handbag and let you have eet!

34 kat 07.23.09 at 11:43 am

@skippymom – thank you! i was so confused there for a minute – i was like, have i gone crazy?? that was a cat wasn’t it??!? haha i had totally forgotten about the orang on blue tick coon action earlier

35 Karebear 07.23.09 at 11:43 am

This is no doubt his reaction to this news story!

36 Rapwnzel 07.23.09 at 11:46 am

I feel slightly uncomfortabuhls with this rating system for our comments. I don’t want to be judged. x_x

[Well, that's understandable. But it's also unavoidable, regardless of little votey blog widgets. People are people. - Ed.]

37 Bryn 07.23.09 at 11:46 am

DKN is right. It’s not pure shock. It’s shock with an underpinning of…naturally…disapproval. Bun is all, “Oh, no, he didn’t! OMG! And what did you say?”

38 fearthebear 07.23.09 at 12:10 pm

@Karebear What is this world coming to? Stealing a bunny! Lops are the best. IMO

39 Karebear 07.23.09 at 12:23 pm

Lops are awesome! (I’d say the best but when I went looking for a lop, I came home from the humane society with a Dutch mix instead, and I’m rather fond of her, pointy ears and all :)
My favoritest book as a kid was Leo the Lop!

40 SoCalSis 07.23.09 at 12:26 pm

Mr. Buns is obvy letting out a wolf whistle at the earlier chimp/cat/orang/goggie action. Who wouldn’t??

41 catloveschanel 07.23.09 at 12:33 pm

bunny does bunny jig and sings Elvis likeWell, I never!
You said you was high class, well that was just a lie
You said you was high class, well that was just a lie
You ain’t never chased a rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaa whhaaaaaaaaaaaaa
bunnies everywhere disapprove and express shock over the thumbs up thumbs down boxes.

42 Theo 07.23.09 at 12:34 pm

Wait… exactly how DOES a bunny execute a “wolf whistle”?

43 Auroram 07.23.09 at 12:43 pm

I think that is the closest real life representation of the D-: emoticon that I have ever seen.

44 Valerie 07.23.09 at 12:43 pm

Awwww

45 DaytimeDeb 07.23.09 at 12:47 pm

Hey, I just tried to leave a comment on the monkey make-out video, but it said comments were closed. Weird. I was just going to say that the monkey butt-scratch at 1:01 proves (some) men really are descended from apes.

Oh, and shocked face here is great! I love the carrot as if it fell out of his mouf… but the lip-hance is too much! I swear I saw the nose move.

46 pyrit 07.23.09 at 12:55 pm

… gotta tell ya… I waited, all, day, to get home and wartch tha’ dernd cat/monkey vid (all the while thinking, “NOMTOM wouldn’t! Would he? Naaaahhhh) and I finally saw it, a quite benign little video. Jeepahs.

47 Theresa 07.23.09 at 1:10 pm

Whoa, this reminds me of “Eric Registers an Emotion”

48 berthaservant 07.23.09 at 1:11 pm

Bunny baroo?

(Yes, everyone, Bertha and I are doing fine, finally in Phoenix w/ reliable internets, have six days of posts to catch up on. Love to all!)

49 pyrit 07.23.09 at 1:12 pm

Theo – good question. We should ask Roger Rabbit, if we can get his eyes off Jessica long enough.
*joke – welcome to 20 yrs. ago*

50 skippymom 07.23.09 at 1:15 pm

the night Louie wore his wolf suit and made whistles of one kind and another…

51 pyrit 07.23.09 at 1:39 pm

skippymom – that sounds like a line from Where the Wild Things Are.

52 doxnsox 07.23.09 at 1:42 pm

That’s an “Oops! I farted!” face.

53 skippymom 07.23.09 at 1:44 pm

Yes, pyrit, it’s the first line. One of the most perfect books ever.

54 pyrit 07.23.09 at 1:48 pm

skippymom – Sooo, I tot da kid’s name vas Max? Wha’s dis? My Cousin Louie?

55 skippymom 07.23.09 at 1:53 pm

pyrit, scroll back up. This bun’s name is Louie. (or did you know that and you’re just messing with me?)

56 pyrit 07.23.09 at 1:58 pm

~*skippymom*~ – Oh, sowwy. vewy sowwy. I forgot. Sendak me away.

57 skippymom 07.23.09 at 2:03 pm

I Sendak you into the wilderness, where you will be fiercely whistled at by hordes of shocked and disapproving buns in wolves’ clothing!

58 Katrina 07.23.09 at 2:05 pm

Theo-”you put your lips together and blow” (said in my best Lauren Bacall.)

[ :lol: OK, well played! - Ed.]

59 Mary (the first) 07.23.09 at 2:11 pm

LOL Skippy yes, I had totally overlooked the monkey and cat because I don’t open video ones here at work. But I loved the Orangutan and Hound.. so that was in my mind. And then I get 9 (so far) thumbs down on my “correction” to Kat.. OMG this is getting complicated. Back to basics.. TEH QTE !!

60 T.U.M. 07.23.09 at 2:17 pm

He just saw the Dramatic Woodchuck for the first time.

61 Agent58 07.23.09 at 2:23 pm

Oh know that is definitly different. So much for Max and Ruby(Childrens Cartoon)!

62 bookmonstercats 07.23.09 at 2:47 pm

What a gorgeous coat the bun has. Guinea peegs have the same leeps, but you can only see them when they stretch their necks up – like when begging for carrots. I always thought they wanted to eat the carrots; now I know better.

63 bookmonstercats 07.23.09 at 2:52 pm

PS what is this rating system and how does it operate? I don’t get to drop by as often as I’d like to, so I must have missed something.

64 Portie Mom 07.23.09 at 3:01 pm

Why do we have to have a rating system at all? Hate it!

65 Lula Mae 07.23.09 at 3:18 pm

Louie the bun one day shouted “Hey, hear y’all!
I’m tired of bein’ full of disapproval,
tired of bein’ mocked!
From now on, I’m shocked.
At once I will start with rehearsal.

66 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 3:23 pm

von Zep #7 – totally cracked me up — I remember learning *those* words to the march — har!

Karebear — Waukesha, Wisconsin, is totally my home town! Who knew it had grown into a regular den (warren?) of iniquity!

Katrina as Lauren Bacall — well played, indeed!

@pyrit & skippymom — Sendak me away! You guys crack me up! (I thought the same thing pyrit did – was the kid’s name Louie?)

Oooh – closed the cat-monkey comments?! Gotta go see what’s happened since I was thar this mornin’! (eyebrows raised)

67 Lula Mae 07.23.09 at 3:29 pm

@Kallisto – great TBBT-ref!

68 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 3:37 pm

Kelsey – re: NoScript & polldaddy in previous comments — NoScript is a security add-on you can get for Firefox — it doesn’t allow any scripts (whatever they are – my knowledge ends here) to be sent from a web site to your computer unless you specifically allow them. (My son put said I should have it.) I couldn’t see the thumbs until I checked NoScript and saw that it was blocking something called polldaddy, which I figured must be the rating system. Once I allowed it, I could see the thumbs.

69 Nikki 07.23.09 at 3:38 pm

@BServ – glad the move went well! Hope you are settling in nicely.

70 Leslie (NTA) 07.23.09 at 3:48 pm

From the Almost Entirely off the Subject Dept:

Hooray!!! BServ & co. have re-emerged or surfaced & all are safe!!
(Monty Python: “And there was much rejoicing.” “Yay!!”)

71 Theresa 07.23.09 at 4:30 pm

Bun is really shocked that the White Sox had a perfect game!

72 kat 07.23.09 at 4:52 pm

@mary (the first) – don’t worry, i didnt rate you down! I didn’t see it as a correction – i was just SERIOUSLY confused hahaha!! I had just woke up from a nap which made it worse!

yeah, what is up with all these rate downs!!! people are rating down the most neutral comments (i.e. 46, 14, 31, 41…)!!! Excuse my french but WTF??!?! Really??!? your going to give a thumbs down to “awww”??!?!?! what is going on???!!!?!?! (i just had 3 gin and tonics so i’m just gonna say what i really think) :)

73 kat 07.23.09 at 5:01 pm

ha i mean “you’re” :p

74 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 5:13 pm

Speaking of the Dramatic Woodchuck, T.U.M., my daughter just showed me that the Archie McPhee catalog is now featuring a tasteful portrait of him in “oil” paint. Har!

75 Rivka 07.23.09 at 5:43 pm

If you look up “OH NOES” in the dictionary, you will see this picture.

76 Theresa 07.23.09 at 6:02 pm

@5^^now8ing , all the best people shop at Archie McPhee. I get all my squirrel underpants and kung fu hamsters there.

77 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 6:08 pm

Yeh, Theresa, Archie McPhee gets a good chunk of my Xmas $ every year!

78 Patito Gigante 07.23.09 at 6:23 pm

You people will thumb down anything, won’t you?
Democracy is the pig’s bollocks.
That’s right, Louie. I said “pig’s bollocks”.

79 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 6:35 pm

Patito — I hadda google “bollocks” (giggle) (blush). Yer just cruisin’ fer a thumbs-down, eh?

80 Patito Gigante 07.23.09 at 6:48 pm

5^^now8ing, don’t you know you got to
shock the bunny (hey-hey)
shock the bunny

81 SoCalSis 07.23.09 at 7:06 pm

Patito– total guffaw on ‘Shock the bunny’ (Hey!)– also, pigs bollocks will now be added to my already colorful vocabulary. Thanks ever so!

and back to the thumbs, I always want to say back, “Oh Yeah? well, Rate THIS!” (accompanied of course by my own digital signals)

82 Theresa 07.23.09 at 7:07 pm

Peter Gabriel!! Lapins sans frontières!!

Leetle round peenk lower leep! Qte!

85 Juniper Jupiter 07.23.09 at 7:51 pm

No no no!!

If it’s a bun, it DEFINITELY says

“Buh-Bo!”

:P

86 cattymama 07.23.09 at 8:07 pm

Bunny lips and tongues are so thick!!

87 Theresa 07.23.09 at 8:14 pm

Bun-neh!

The line of things I don’t approve of here.
Bun Jacinto…

(well thppp, it’s late and it hasn’t been a good day)

90 YourMother 07.23.09 at 9:51 pm

It’s a stunned bun! ;)

91 Karebear 07.23.09 at 10:09 pm

For those who read my earlier post about the stolen bunny from the Waukesha county fair, he’s been returned!

92 Patito Gigante 07.23.09 at 11:09 pm

Waukesha? Is that in Hawaii?

93 Theo 07.23.09 at 11:20 pm

No, you’re thinking of Kahlua.

94 DaytimeDeb 07.23.09 at 11:37 pm

Hey, thumbs are missing! Yay!!!
(Taking this to mean that the experiment is over…)

95 DaytimeDeb 07.23.09 at 11:39 pm

I should clarify — I still have MY thumbs. I plan to keep them for a long time. Just wanted to beat everyone to the punch on that one.

96 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 11:39 pm

Hey, Patito! You obvy didn’t see my earlier post – Waukesha, Wisconsin, is my home town! Glad to hear they restored law & bun order.

97 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 11:40 pm

Hey, Patito! You obvy didn’t see my earlier post – Waukesha, Wisconsin, is my home town! Glad to hear they restored law & bun order.

Theo – I was afraid you maybe hadn’t had a good day – we still loves ya, ya know!

98 5^^now8ing 07.23.09 at 11:43 pm

Where’d the thumbs go? (& sorry for the dupe post)

99 Katrina 07.24.09 at 2:14 am

Look Ma, No Thumbs! Please, do not bring them back, they detract from the bun-schway of Cute Overload. Stunned bun pun fun, hun. OK, I’m done.

Berthaservant and Bertha, there should be plenty of boxes for Bertha! Congrats on your successful move.

Oh my gosh…it’s…it’s just so…I can’t

*goes into joy-coma*

103 kat 07.24.09 at 3:54 am

my vote is for either no thumbs OR only thumbs up option!

104 Disapproving 07.24.09 at 4:11 am

Not one of the pictures in the disapproval tag are of a bun. Not a single one. I’m sure you can imagine how I feel about this.

105 Stunbunny 07.24.09 at 5:00 am

“WHAAAAT!?!? They took Emo Bun off of the masthead? How dare they?”

106 Chelsea 07.24.09 at 5:02 am

I like how it’s almost the color of a rottie <3 I love my bun-bun, but my parents own rottweillers, this is the perfect mix.

107 Sheepy 07.24.09 at 6:04 am

I am shocked, SHOCKED, to find that gambling is going on in here!

(Your carrots, sir.)

108 Lula Mae 07.24.09 at 6:24 am

@Disapproving, let me guess: you’re… SHOCKED!

109 agent58 07.24.09 at 6:55 am

I couldn’t curl my tounge like that until I got to highschool. In middle school if you could do that everyone thought you were so cool.

110 Leslie (NTA) 07.24.09 at 7:10 am

@Sheepy –

niiice “Casablanca” reference….

111 Theresa 07.24.09 at 7:13 am

For some reason, the Peter Gabriel references aren’t just flowing from me. I’m trying to hard. Maybe it’’s just easier with MON-KEH!!! s.

112 Lula Mae 07.24.09 at 7:18 am

It seems you’ve got the Peter Gabriel – bunneh on your back, Theresa!

113 Nancy (orig) 07.24.09 at 7:46 am

Is that bun getting silicone treatments in his leeps??

114 Karebear 07.24.09 at 8:27 am

I think the voting system was the work of disapproving buns who take over their people’s computers while they are at work during the day

115 5^^now8ing 07.24.09 at 9:16 am

Promised…self…would…would…resist…adding…too…many…comments….

But no one has said it yet on this post, and it has to be said!

*Schock and awwww…*

There. I’m done. Will totally shut up on this thread now. (ignores applause, goes on to next post)

116 LS 07.24.09 at 9:35 am

@ 5^^now8ing

Don’t you mean “schock and pawww”?

Sorry.

117 supie 07.24.09 at 6:10 pm

I had no idea bunnular muzzlepoushes had leeps.

118 Brilers 07.24.09 at 6:58 pm

LITTLE GUY LOOKS JUST LIKE DUFF FROM ‘ACE OF CAKES’! He does that mouth open thing all the time. watch and be amazed.

119 Erin 08.13.09 at 8:46 am

This immediately made me think “Oh face” from the movie Office Space. It’s perfect!
