And they call it Bunny Love


I’m in love with Sid the Bunny on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Sid is a very cute white bunny puppet that Craig Ferguson voices in a high-pitched, effeminate voice.  Except as cute as he is, and he’s REALLY cute, he swears like a trucker, which I find hysterical.  Cute on the outside, naughty on the inside; the way life was meant to be.

I secretly pray before every show that he’ll make an appearance and when he does, I am suitably entertained.  Frankly, he could host the show and I would be thrilled.

I’m not sure what it is about cute little bunny puppets.  They mesmerized me as a child and clearly, they still do.

My previous bunny experience happened on Captain Kangaroo, a show I loved as a child.  Mr. Rabbit didn’t speak and he liked to steal carrots, which was a bit naughty.  But somehow when interacting with Captain Kangaroo, in the course of every show, Mr. Rabbit would make ping pong balls rain down on the Captain’s head, causing no end to glee at my house.

It was a nice, gentle way to stick it to every adult that ruled my life in a non-threatening, silly sort of way.  Sid accomplishes that today.  I really must enter into therapy.

Check out Sid for yourself and see what you think.
