U.S. Acres Episode Review: Mystery In The Mail [SPOILERS]

Hello, and welcome back to the U.S. Acres weekly episode review. Last week, we went over the final aired episode of the series. This week, I chose a fan-favorite U.S. Acres episode: The Bunny Rabbits Is Coming. Many people love making this joke, as a matter of fact, as it has a grammatical error in it. Heck, I looked up the phrase after watching this episode the first time, and I saw a T-shirt for sale based on it. Here is the story behind this somewhat memetic episode:

Truth in advertising.

The episode starts with a quickie in which Roy opens up a lemonade stand. Wade Duck is his first customer and wants a cup. Roy gives him one cup, and Wade asks for more, because the sign says "All you can drink for a dime". Roy says that's all Wade can drink for a dime, and decides to keep it that way-until Orson's brothers show up and demand for more. He promises he'll be true to his advertising next time. Unlike the previous quickies, this one isn't based off a comic.

Wade's cosplay of a bunny rabbit in this title card is adorable!

The episode starts with a human mailman putting mail in people's mailboxes. We only see his hand, but it's an interesting sight. Meanwhile, Roy is bathing and singing a song that goes "What the weather...pluck a feather...pikaro, pikaro, pikaro, piikaro!". The bell rings in the middle of his song, and he complains about this. He tells Orson to pick up the while courtesy telephone, which is a can on a string (possibly the U.S. Acres universe's equivalent of phones). Orson tells Wade they have to look for the weasel, which makes Wade concerned. Orson answers the phone soon after, and Roy tells him to get the mail. Roy then stares at the viewers and tells him he wants privacy.

Here's the video clip of the week, summing up the origin behind the message "The Bunny Rabbits Is Coming".

Wade then tells Booker and Sheldon that the bunny rabbits are coming. Both are confused about what the message means, and Wade has no idea what it means either. Booker wonders why he's afraid of the message, and Wade says that it's due to his motto, "Be afraid of everything! Don't take any chances!", starting up the song "Yah, Ah, Ooo, Eee!". Here are the lyrics to the song:

Bein' afraid is a good way to be

You never can be too careful, you see

I always like to be prepared

'Cause you never know when you need to be scared!

Look at it from my point-of-view,

That everything's about to get you!

Underneath every plant you see could be a duck-eating root, about to eat me!

This rock, this sock, this clock, this tree!

Afraid potential for harming me! 

I bet you'd think you can never get hurt, by a box of raisins, or a flannel shirt.

Yah, ah, ooo, ee!

There are dangerous things, about to get me!

Ah, yah, ee, ooh!

I'd be brave, but that scares me too.

Oooooeeeaahooack!

I can feel a gust of wind stickin' up from my back! 

Yah, ooo, ah, ee, ah, ooo, oh,

I think something's gonna get me now-I gotta go!

After the song, Wade tells Booker and Sheldon that he must spread the word about the bunny rabbits' arrival, and Booker asks "Shouldn't that be 'The bunny rabbits are coming'?". The weasel then goes into the hen house to steal the chickens. Wade then runs into Roy and tells him that the bunny rabbits are coming, using incorrect grammar as usual. Roy says the same thing Booker, Sheldon, and the Weasel have said the entire episode. Roy then goes to check on the chickens, but realizes they are missing. Looking at some footprints, he sees some footprints that look like weasel footprints, but he isn't sure, so he sniffs them, and seconds afterward, finds out that the weasel stole the chickens! "Orson! The chickens is missing!" yells Roy. Orson then teaches him a grammar lesson: the word "chickens" is plural, and thus, you need a plural verb. Roy gets angry because this is not helping them find the chickens. Wade gets frightened by the news of the weasel, and Orson spurts out "The weasel are here!" after this, leading Roy to correct him. Wade then says "What is we gonna do?" and Roy replies "We is going to be sacked by the weasel". And that's exactly what happens to them.

Notice that Roy's tail is red instead of white in the third picture.

Roy tells Orson to do something, and he tells them he's trying to, leading Wade to reply "Oh, sack full of woe! All am lost!". The weasel responds that he's taking the chickens and nothing is going to stop him, and then something shakes. Is it an earthquake? No, it's the bunny rabbits, and they trample over the weasel, who tells them "Bye-bye!" in a funny voice. Roy finally rescues the chickens, who thank him. A rooster named Plato comes in and asks the gang if they have seen his bunny rabbits. Wade tells him the direction they went in, and Plato thanks him, and tells them that he hopes they received proper warning, because they could be trouble. Orson says that all this trouble was caused by Wade being so worried about the bunny rabbits. Wade then asks if the bunny rabbits are coming back in the style of his previous quote, and Orson says they aren't, leading Wade to yell "The bunny rabbits is gone!" and Orson correcting him.

Next week, we review an episode where a villain comes to stay at the farm.
