OT "I peench"

Has anyone else seen these Honda Element commercials where the vehicle
makes small talk with some little animal? I've seen a platypus, an
opossum, and a crab, and I must say, the crab rules. It's just one of
those very odd, silly things that crack me up for reasons I just don't
know. But really, what is not funny about a little crab with some
kind of weird accent who says "I peench!" and "I want to peench!"?

Obviously, it's not seen over the pond.

It would have amused me too. However I could have said "You peench me? You
see this saucepan of boiling water?"
Only joking. I don't eat crab.

I've only seen the opossum and yes, it is amusing. The other commercial
today that was overplayed, but still made me laugh everytime I saw it
was the Secret ad with Danica Patrick challenging all these little boys
at a race car driving game in an arcade. It's just....funny. "So, you
thinking about being a race car driver when you grow up?" "No." "Good.
You shouldn't.". Her delivery is great.

Well, actually, that's pretty much how it ends. The Honda says "I've
got a tongs and some melted butter," and the crab scurries away
(sideways), saying "No peench, no peench!"

OK, but I'm still trying to understand why a crab would *want* to
pinch a car in the first place...

Well, he "peenches" because he's a crab, I suppose. What I want to
know is why he has an accent.
Here's a link to the ad:

Maybe he's from Christmas Island? (Isn't that where they cross the
island every year in the tens of thousands, to mate at the seashore?)
If that's not the name of the island, what is?

I would like to see that, but I would be afraid of getting peenched.
Maybe the commercial amuses me so much because I spent so much
time at the seashore as a child, and getting peenched.

Probably the same reason that the shrimp had an accent in Finding
Nemo. Voila, he is clean!

I only saw this one for the first time a couple of days ago, and I
absolutely *love* it.
