Muffin and His Beast Ride

Oh, gees, have you seen this? It's my new favorite commercial:


Which just reminds me of this:


Muffin--Em's hamster who was rockin' the beast ride long before those hamsters did.

Doo. Dah. Dippity.

I love the driving hamsters. In fact I head bob away with them during the commercial. My hubby is embarrassed for me.

Helene said...

Boy what I miss by not watching tv.

Love Em's Muffin :-)

Catherine said...

Is that seriously a real hamster in that pink car? Awe. Some!

That *almost* makes me want a hamster. Damn that Muffin is cute.

Sorry Pally, This old geezer doesn't do ghetto trash talking types. My tastes run more in this direction:

I haven't seen that ad... just too funny. You have caused my first laugh of the day- GUILTY!

Sharkbytes said...

PS to Chuck- I think that Dodge Challenger one is pretty funny too.

Pricilla said...

I had not seen that.
LOVE the Hamsterdam street sign.
heh

Poor little hamster looks so scared in the bug. Like he's being ratnapped.

Lola said...

I just saw this commercial yesterday. My kids love it.

DJ said...

I haven't seen it yet either, but it's a hoot! The little guy in the pink bug looks like he's doing a PSA for hamster seat belt safety.

Ann said...

I have seen the commercial. And my first thought was finally someone with a little imagination in advertising :)

She was so ahead of the trends!

Ok now it is getting personal - my first comment didn't post, then I made another comment and it isn't here either - Blogger hates me, commenting systems all hate me. I'm going out in the yard and eat worms!

Roschelle said...

haven't seen this one until now...toooo cute!

VanillaSeven said...

Is that hamster for real? Or just some Hollywood mechanical robot?

Highway--I LOVE the song and the hamsters--it's a rockin' commercial! That Muffin was a cool dude too in his day.

Helene--I have a great Muffin tale for another day. He was a great little hamster.

Catherine--Really?! I think it is on all the time here, unless it is just the song that catches my ear.

CG--Yep! That is Muffin, Em's hamster from a few years ago. Isn't he funny in the Barbie ride??

Chuck--But how can you pit those cute hamsters up against George Washington?? And Muffin??! Can you beat Muffin in the Barbie ride??

Sharky--I agree. I like the message.

Pricilla--Yeah, and the Hamstar hoodie. Muffin was scared ALL the time.

Lola--Isn't it beast??! I LOVE that commercial.

DJ--Poor Muffin. We would do crazy stuff like that to him all the time. I don't think he minded too much.

Violet--He. Muffin was a "he". Long story. Uneducated pet store employees. Surprised little girl.

Grace--Well,this comment made it. If you are having probs, just email me and I'll post your comment. You are always welcome here.

Roschelle--Isn't it beast??! (That's what Emma says anyway)

Vanilla7--Which one?? The commercial is all film magic. Muffin in the Barbie ride is for real.

How cute that pink beetle bug is.It's amazing about the toys for those hamsters. That must be the life! Too bad about the video being removed. would have loved to view it.

Lin said...

Auntie E--Oh, darn! I'm going to see if there is another version to put here instead. And the bug--it's a Barbie Car, not a hamster car! We just let Muffin go for a spin when Barbie wasn't using it. :)
