Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, dogs?
Dog #1: What is it?
Dog #2: Hey, maybe it's a gy-raffe, the gy-raffe!
Spike: Nah, that ain't no gy-raffe. A gy-raffe's got a long neck like this
[Pulls on Bugs' neck]
Spike: Hey, fellows, it's a rabbit.
Dog #1: Oh, a rabbit.
Spike: Dog pile on the rabbit!
Dogs: [as they all jump on top of Bugs] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!...
Bugs Bunny: [Hopping on top of the dog pile] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!

This is what I think of every time I hear the word "giraffe." Every time.

Damn, but that Bugs episode is the epitome of *classic*. Wish there was some channel - any channel - that still showed the Looney Tunes, like the Cartoon Network used to years ago...

Giraffe is scary?
Jar-Jar Binks is scarier.
Fun post, Kat!

davidmsc, I would bet that Boomerang shows stuff like that, but I'm not sure, and it might not be available in your area.

I once dated a girl who listed amongst her many phobias (to which she would react violently to): dinosaurs, comically large items that are normally small (pencils, eating utensils, etc.), and palm trees.


Palm Trees.



Seriously.

This may only be hilarious because it's 4 in the morning and I'm delirious from clubbing, but ... it's hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

contraption, I love that book and their Head book. I bought them for 20% at a Borders that had a stockpile. The clerk was talking about what a great deal they were.

Those giraffes aren't fighting; they're trying to start a mosh pit.

The giraffs at my tiny local zoo are friendly, and like being petted. Hurds of giraffs in the wild are extremely beautiful. I can't imagine anyone finding them frightening.
