The hardhopping staff here at the Global Worldwide Headquarters has long held the belief that pretty much everything we know about life, we learned from Bugs Bunny.
Beyond his bravura performances in such illuminating tales as What’s Opera, Doc? and Monster Manicure, the many commercials Bugs has graced with his presence also contain life lessons for us all, as this collection from the 1960s nicely illustrates.
Also in the live-and-let-learn category is Nike’s classic Hare Jordan spot from 1993.
All that history notwithstanding, we think even Bugs would agree that this Xfinity commercial scales new heights in bunnyrific advertising.
Gotta believe Bugs would fit right into that household, eh Doc?

The nod to Bugs’ 1960s commercial run alongside the Hare Jordan spot really drives home how rare it is for a brand to tap into that mix of mischief and charm. Our family still quotes the “What’s Opera, Doc?” bits, so seeing that legacy continued in a modern ad feels like a small victory for cartoon logic.
The bit about learning life lessons from Bugs Bunny really resonates—those old commercials taught me more about wit and timing than any classroom ever could. That Xfinity spot does capture a similar playful chaos, almost like a modern-day Looney Tunes short dropped into a living room.
That point about Bugs fitting right into the Xfinity household is spot-on—his mischievous energy matches perfectly with that rabbit’s antics. It makes me wonder how many more classic cartoon characters could be revived for modern ads without losing their charm.
The mention of the 1993 “Hare Jordan” spot really brings back memories—Michael Jordan and Bugs together was pure magic. That Xfinity ad does capture a similar playful household chaos, but nothing beats the original cross-species teamwork.
