I can watch it multiple times in a row%2C and just drop back into giggles at the unending stream of bleeped obscenity from Buzzed Bunny.  Especially when it%27s late and my brain is medium-fried.%0D%0A%0D%0AHowever%2C this version%2C with the language unbleeped%3A%0D%0A%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.tlgmedia.com%2Fanim%2Fanewbunnyunc.htm%0D%0A%0D%0Ajust isn%27t as funny.

Witness the humorous effect that censor-bleeping even a perfectly innocent soundtrack can create%2C never mind when it%27s used on a really dirty one. It relies on the human brain%27s ability to insert the most effective piece into an incomplete sound or word in order to understand it.%0D%0A%0D%0AI mean%2C I%27ve seen children%27s show music twisted into a seeming mass of %28funny%29 obscenity simply with strategic bleepage of words.
