Note: This was the first {{w|Energizer Bunny}} commercial, and was broadcast on United States television on October 30, 1988. Produced by DDB Needham Worldwide, the spot began as a direct parody of Duracell's "Drumming Bunny" ad. In the original Duracell ads, a set of battery-powered drum-playing toy rabbits gradually slow to a halt until only the toy powered by a Duracell copper-top battery remains active. In Energizer's parody, the Energizer Bunny enters the screen midway through the ad, beating a huge bass drum and swinging a mallet over his head.

{{ft|Narrator|For years, you've seen some commercials where one battery company's toys outlast the other toys, so you may have assumed their battery outlasts even Energizer batteries. Fact is, Energizer was never invited to their playoffs, and today's Energizer won't be invited either. Why? Because no battery lasts longer than Energizer. So now you know. A word to the wise—energize!}}
