We Are the Animals of the North Pole…

…we wear top hats, because it’s cold. We like snowmen, because they’re nice… what the hell!?!…

Does anyone besides me (and this dude – not safe for work) remember this commercial?

It was for ESPN’s Winter X Games, and it featured a bunch of claymation animals hanging in the snow with a snowman, singing. Right when the got to “nice”, some skier or snowboarder came flying out of nowhere and busted up these clay characters all over the place.

Sooo stupid, but absolutely classic. I would pay top $$$ for a digital copy of this bad boy.

    We are the animals of the North Pole
    We wear tophats, because it’s cold
    We like snowmen, because they’re nice
    We can’t hug them ’cause they’re made of ice.

    I agree, awesome commercial! The guy that posted earlier who has the VHS copy needs to digitize it and post it to YouTube; it’s his duty to society. Anyone out there with a copy, please share!
