And why not? Funny-sounding animals! Graininess aside, it’s timeless so long as you don’t take the following bits of information into account.
The average lifespan of a domestic pig is six to ten years.
The average lifespan of a Himalayan cat is about fifteen years.
The average lifespan of a lion is ten to fourteen years.
The average lifespan of llama is twenty to thirty years.
The average lifespan of a giant tortoise is one hundred years.
And finally the average lifespan of a domestic bunny is nine to twelve years.
This commercial being twenty-one years old, all them animals are probably long dead, save for the giant tortoise, who will outlive all of us just out of spite, and maybe the llama, depending on how old that bockbegocking llama was to begin with.
It’s appropriate in a way, that just like Jesus himself, these dead animals get resurrected just in time for Easter. However, the next time you celebrate the return of our lord by biting into a Cadbury egg, remember that that smooth, creamy fondant is actually the taste of dead animals.
Happy Easter!
This was dark as fuck and I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who did the voice over is also dead, so that makes it even more depressing. It's also a bit odd that the one animal that is still alive from these commercials is the one that has been cut out from most modern airings.
ReplyDeleteWait -- the turtle isn't in the commercial anymore?
DeleteFun fact-- the animals were voiced by Angela Cappelli who did some singing and was the singing voice for Jaqui in one episode of Jem.
ReplyDeleteThe tortoise will piss on everyone's grave and laugh.
