these crack me up. especially the crab one. just goes to show that it doesn't take lots of money to make a good commercial. in this case, practically none. just a little imagination, decent sense of comedic timing, and - most of all - some well cast voices.
and while i'm at it, let me just point you to one of the funniest strongbad emails i've been privileged to view in quite some time...

"I ought to say that it isn't an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes
it's more of an Accident. It all depends."
"Depends on what?"
"On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it."

these are some of the very funniest bits I've seen or heard in a long time.
i'm with you; i'm partial to 'i pinch' though they are both brilliant in a minimalist sort of way.
It's because it's more unexpected-- you can tell where the platypus one is going pretty early on. But the 'i pinch' is so off the wall that it takes you by surprise.
i agree - it's just beyond quirky to see a crab threatening to pinch a car. although i did once know of a dog who bit a brand new white fiero. left a hole over the back wheel. no, really.
"hey paula, what happened to your car?"
"uhhh... a dog bit it."
huh.
