Sharing a funny bone

Telecom have this new ad theme going at the moment with these puppets, and the present advert going at the moment is these puppets are stuck in traffic.
Richard finds it kind of funny with the monkey/ape puppet is on the bus, trying to make conversation with a girls backpack that looks like a monkey, half way through conversation between the Ape talking to the monkey backpack the girl gets hungry so open the flip up part of the bag (the head), the ape puppet screams, then the girl pulls out a banana from the pink lined backpack and the Ape really screams.
The part I like comes from being able to laugh at myself.
The traffic jams is being caused by another "telecom toy" a Lion puppet that can't drive (I can drive mind due), he is getting flustered and cars are honking behind him cause he can't get out of their way trying to do a 300 point turn by the looks of things, on the phone to a friend of his. The lion is characterised as someone with a a lisp that can't say R's and says W's instead. So hes on his mobile phone taking to his friend "Wichard" as he has typed his friends name on his mobile. And he sayes something along the lines of "Oh my goodness Wichard, I am experiencing woad wage". It cracks me up. I find it so funny, cause I get so annoyed with the traffic in Auckland and I can really get wound up, sitting in the car talking to the other cars asking which wheatbix packet they must of got their licence from, especially those who must look at the funny little indicator symbol and either think its an optional extra or it must be something everyone else have to use. And my fiances name as you all know is Richard. At some stage I think I can imagine myself ringing Richard getting really annoyed with the traffic and saying.
"Oh my goodness Wichard, I am experiencing woad wage"

Here is an intro to the toys,
