Milk-fed thumb toy whales on crochet doll

A Japanese crochet doll loses a street fight to a little rubber thumb figure in this animated milk commercial for the BC Dairy Foundation. The thumb guy reminds me of Gumby, but not in a good way. The ad’s pretty ho-hum, but it reminded me of the epic, insanely violent and un-P.C. Jimmy vs. Timmy “Cripple Fight” on South Park some years back. Why do people keep adding speed-metal to that clip on YouTube?

The "Cripple Fight" is actually a scene-by-scene rip (or homage, depending on who you ask) of the classic "Rowdy" Roddy Piper fistfight with Keith David in "They Live". Watch them side by side if you need further proof...
