It might be bunnies

On a random note, I am in love with the new Telus commercial. I haven't laughed that hard since they first launched the campaign with the parrot bopping to Barry White on a wire.

This time it features rabbits, and breaks down into the following shots:

1- Stack of orange-coloured poker chips, that look a little odd. On closer inspection, they turn out to be bits of carrot.
2- The music starts: "You've got to know when to hold 'em..." Shot of a rabbit sitting in front of the stack of carrot chips,
3- "...Know when to fold 'em...": Shot of another rabbit with floppy ears with a really small stack of carrot chips.
4- "...Know when to walk away...": Shot of third rabbit backing away slowly from a small stack of chips.
5- "...Know when to run...": Shot of rabbit hopping away quickly from a very small stack of chips.
6- "...You never count your money when you're sitting at the table...": Shot of rabbit with several large stacks of carrots, nibbling on one of the chips.
7- "...There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done.": Shot of group of rabbits playing poker, then text of whatever new promotion they have, which I didn’t read because I was laughing too hard at the rabbit counting his money at the table.

I loved that song when I was younger. I learned it at camp, and we used to sing it at the top of our lungs around the campfire. Listening to it in context with rabbits and carrots just made my night.

Yes, I’m easily entertained.
