Greg the Bunny

G the B

In Pablo's world that actually stands for "Greg The Bunny" on IFC (Independent Film Channel).

G the B is a collection of 15 minute short films starring foul-mouthed puppets. Greg the bunny is the star of the show. Warren Demontague is his football helmut wearing ape friend. Together with humans, Spencer and Sean, they create parodies of classic films, such as Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, 2010: A Space Odyssey, Annie Hall, Sex Lies & Videotape, and Natural Born Killers, to name a few. Translated into G the B world they read as follows:

Pulp Fiction = Dead Puppet Storage
The Godfather = The Godpappy
2010: A Space Odyssey = 2001: Space and Stuff
Annie Hall = Bunny Hall
Sex, Lies & Videotape = Sex, Button Eyes and a Video Ape
Natural Born Killers = Naturally Sewn Killers

One of the best characters that makes an appearance on several of these shows is Count Blah. He is a parody Bella Lugosi's dracula. In every sentence he speaks the word "blah" is thrown in several times. For example most people would say: I have to go get the newspaper. Count Blah would say: I have to go get the newspaper, blah.

You really need to go to the G the B website to get the full effect if you don't have IFC. At this site you can click on several audio & video clips. One of my favorites is "Gregula," when Greg thinks he's been bitten by a vampire so he attempts to suck the blood from a live cat and wears paper "training" fangs while he's waiting for his real ones to grow in. He sleeps in a coffin, but won't close it all the way because it's "too dark." He won't go out in the daylight because he thinks his fur will burn.

Hopefully you have the mentality of a 13 year old boy like my Pablo does. He's the one who introduced me to this hysterical little gem. I LOVE Greg. He's too "frak'n" adorable.

Yes, I said "frak."

Can you tell me where I got "frak" from?
