Pleasant

May 25, 2026

A rabbit and squirrel sit together on a tree branch. RABBIT: So, have you decided if you'll be PLEASANT with me today?
SQUIRREL: Well, yes, I've given it a lot of thought.
UNPROVOKED SHOVE! The squirrel shoves the rabbit off the branch.
SQUIRREL: My answer is no.

You’re Just Saying That

RABBIT: I liked your song!
BIRD: Aw, you're just saying that...
RABBIT: Well, yes.

Honesty

May 29, 2024

RABBIT: Well…? What do you think? SQUIRREL: I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.
RABBIT: At least you’re being honest.
SQUIRREL: No no, if I’m being HONEST, I was listening, but I was just incredibly shocked by how stupid your idea was.
RABBIT: So you’re being… polite? SQUIRREL: In my way.

Sharing

Feb 8, 2023

A fox is about to eat a piece of cake. RABBIT: Can you share?

FOX (thinking): Nice feels an awful lot like hungry.

How to Talk at a Party

Jan 14, 2023

ANT 1: This party is OK. But this house is a lot smaller than ours. ANT 2: Nicole, honey, that’s not POLITE. Don’t say that.
ANT 1: Oh, sorry, uh… OUR house is a lot NICER than THIS one. ANT 2: NICOLE! Stop it! People can HEAR you!
ANT 1: JEEZ, Michelle! How on earth am I supposed to communicate how ugly this house is?! ANT 2: You are NOT!
ANT 1: So all I can talk about is how dumb their kids are? That seems CRUEL... ANT 2: Please wait in the car.

Polite

Nov 23, 2022

A bird shows a painting to a fox and a rabbit. BIRD: How is it? And be polite! FOX: Hmm, now... What's a polite way to say, "It looks like garbage."
The bird angrily storms away.
RABBIT: Ooo, maybe say it in British? FOX: 'Ello, chap! Your paintin' is rubbish!
RABBIT: I think that sounded very polite. FOX: Well, it's important to be polite.

Party Time

Jun 2, 2022

SKINK: If I come to the party early, it'll be awkward.
SKINK: But if I come late, they'll think I'm rude.
SKINK: The most polite thing to do is not go at all.
SKINK: I pride myself on courtesy AND social anxiety.

FIRST ANT: "Thank you". SECOND ANT: What? FIRST ANT: You should've THANKED me. SECOND ANT: Ah, OK, I-
FIRST ANT: No, LISTEN, I know I'm not supposed to say anything, but I held the door for you. I'm not asking for a MEDAL, but you could've at least just THANKED me.
FIRST ANT: I'm sick and tired of people getting away with RUDENESS, and I just... had to say something. SECOND ANT: OK, well, ah... duly noted. A-and THANK YOU.
SECOND ANT: Now... back to the interview, what would you say qualifies you most for the position? FIRST ANT: I'm a people person, Jason. I GET people.
