We're cheating a little with this week's ad, as the primary focus of the Rayman Raving Rabbids series has been on the Wii. Keep in mind, though, that Ubisoft promises to make RRR 2 for the DS more like its console counterpart, emphasizing multiplayer party games over platforming, so we're not completely gypping you on this one. Hop past the break to continue.
CG bunnies. Around the world. Always screaming.
We have a hard time believing that Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is an actual game, and not just an excuse for Ubisoft's artists to waste away the summer months by photoshopping LOLRABBITS. Much like with the original game, the French developer has flooded the internet with its bunny media. But instead of telling us about the Rabbids' shortcomings whilst showing off their dance moves, Ubisoft has put out a slew of images parodying everything from popular art pieces to big-ticket movies.
The commercials and images hosted on Ubisoft's Rabbids News site make very little sense unless you know the game's single-player story, useful details which are surprisingly absent from the online hub. In an attempt to take over Earth, the buck-toothed bunnies are seeking to integrate themselves into our societies, mimicking our everyday activities, or at least, their limited understanding of our everyday activities. Players must travel "around the world," like the Daft Punk song, to pick out the mischievous agents masquerading as American rodeo riders or bicyclists racing in the Tour De France.

I think a raving rabbids TV show would be best suited as a Robot Chicken clone. A non-linear series of scenarios, all featuring the addictive little screaming maniacs in some form or other
a show like that would either be the best thing ever made or the most annoying thing ever, either way it would be funny

And every episode will end in a hilarious musical dance off. And I think they'll do well. Rabbids 1 did sell 1 million, most on Wii negligible on ports.

The ads still make me laugh. Until they don't anymore, I'm all for them.
