IKEA’s “Next Weekend” Spot…
In this IKEA TV spot, a family is called by “Uncle Ricky” to be reminded that they had offered to host a barbecue next weekend, a fact that they had obviously forgotten. Looking out at their backyard to check the status of their yard, they find that nature has quite taken it over, for there are raccoons, opossums, rabbits, and even a background deer cavorting around!
“What are those rabbits doing,” questions the son. While we are not shown the act, one suspects from their positioning that the rabbits are “doing what comes naturally,” and giving junior a free lesson on reproduction. Mom and Dad look at one another, and converse, “IKEA?- –IKEA!”
So when Uncle Ricky arrives, the family’s backyard has been transformed by the purchase of a large table and chair set from IKEA for a proper barbecue, and even the animals appear happy…

Maybe they genuinely forgot about hosting a picnic for their friends and, thus, temporarily rented out their backyard for an Elks’ picnic.

Those Elks’ groups can get pretty wild, I understand…likewise the Moose, and Eagles’!

To say nothing of the gate-crashers all four of those rabbits could be bringing to the party!
Speaking of woodland creatures; have you seen that new Air Bed and Breakfast commercial, yet? They have–among other things–a fox playing a Zamfir flute!

P.S.—-I tried to use the word “foxes,” but for some reason that proved unacceptable! Maybe your swear-checker mistook it for another five-letter plural beginning with f?

You know, I’ve had many a problem with seemingly puritanical spell-checkers! Their slogan: “If the word looks naughty or like a naughty word, then it too is naughty!”

Or should I have said “hare-raising theory”?
