Warning: Bunnies in teacups, on unicycles will make your soul seize

Spoiler alert: The following ad for New York Lottery’s “Sweet Million” game contains ADORABLE BUNNIES IN CARNIVAL GARB. Do I really need to say more than that to get you to press play?

Oh! Bonus cute: Look at the name of the horse in second place! Also: This!

And yet, is it as cute as the Sweet Millions ad my pal Kate Ward blogged about last month? That one featured a MULTI-SPECIES CUTENESS ATTACK! Whoa.

    I loved this one but the one with the animals in pajamas stole my heart.

    Okay, the bunnies are cute and I like the dull tone of that Sweet Millions voiceover guy uses. But gotta go with baby pandas FTW in a “who’s cuter?” contest.

      Um, might need a little proof-reading of that headline, Mike: it’s unicycles, not unicylces!

      • Michael Slezak

        Thanks, Ruby! Apparently it was my brain that seized for a hot minute.

  • Matthew

    Bunnies are creepy.

  • Jansen

    I know not of these pandas of which you speak, but I don’t need to know. NO other species can EVER top those wabbits!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • RubyBaby

      The panda is featured in the “This” link (to story on Vanity Fair about the surplus of “cute”) that’s posted beneath the video link above. And I was also thinking of the Youtube perennial “sneezing panda” in my evaluation of wabbits cute factor (they come second!).

      I am seriously going to have to find something to do with my time today…hanging around here is simply not achieving anything….links begat links and before you know it an afternoon has just gone straight out the window. Grrr.

    I love this ad :)

  • Emily Lowe

    Does anyone know who’s singing the song in the ad? It sounds just like Charlie Hope.

    I just showed this to my friends about a week ago. I see this ad all the time and find myself wishing it would go on. Naturally, I squeed when I saw this post. ^^

    Thank you! My eight year old and I just couldn’t get enough of it!

  • Beresfordlane

    D*mn you, Michael. Don’t you know I’m a diabetic? I think I just went into insulin shock!

    I love these ads. I live in NY, so they appear on my television with some frequency. Actually, I think they (along with the USA Network ads) are proof that even in a DVR age, if you make good ads, people will watch. I’ve seen each of those ads multiple times, yet each time I see one of them as I fast forward on the tivo, I stop and watch. I even purchased a ticket, just because those ads are made of win.
