As a child[and still kinda do] I looked forward to Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer,various Charlie Brown specials,How the Grinch Stole Christmas etc,etc. Now as a 43yr old I look forward to Paul Harrell holiday special's.👍👍👍
“And I’m stylin” is the best comment I’ve heard him make. Paul could be the best model ever. Also him leaning down and going “Got him 👍” 😂 I love how most of this video is him just blowing chocolate bunnies apart with different guns. “Is that a space shuttle?!” Chocolate bunny went ⬆️🐇
Now I want to watch his cooking show. "First you start with 1 and 1/2 cups of Gold Medal blue and white bag, bleached enriched pre sifted all purpose flour"
I can imagine Paul walked into the grocery store. Store clerk: "more pop, ribs, and water melon today Mr. Harrell?" Paul: " Nope, but I will have lots of marshmellows, Peeps, and crateload of chocolate bunnies please" Other store clerks: "His Easter is intense!!"
@Sasha Braus all swiss chocolate bunnies are hollow, much easier to eat and they look bigger that way. lindt is good chocolate, but for the price not as good as it should be.
@@BELCAN57 jah, the "flavored" part had me really astonished. i mean seriously, why bother to get as close.to chocolate as possible without being chocolate when chocolate itself isnt even that expensive? sounds quite stupid to me and im glad i have the whole swiss assortiment of actual chocolate to choose from. but i admit, i got some rather expensive ones from a bakery this year because they make special colours and flavors.
One of the many things I appreciate about Mr Harrell is that he is a serious guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. His earnest deadpan delivery in this video is priceless.
@@brandydutton8871 i dont know if that's a good or bad thing lol. imagine being his son and listening to him talk to you after getting a bad grade on a math test.
I've been an avid chocolate bunny hunter for years. And it's videos like this that help me get the right perspective again. I've heard far too many fake chocolate bunny hunting stories and it's good to see real ones. Sometimes we complicate things and need to get back to basics. Paul has really helped me to rethink my whole approach to hunting chocolate bunnies. Thank you sir.
The only man willing to stand up and show us how to hunt these holiday creatures! I learned more in 17 minutes about hunting chocolate bunnies than I ever learned in all the holidays of my childhood.
I needed this episode more than I would have expected. My morning's plans ended early due to a mechanical, so I drove home a little depressed. This made up for it. Thanks, Sir Paul.
In the woods somewhere there is a golden god statue that looks like Paul made by all the ants for the wonderful bounty of soda, candy and pork ribs he scatters there every year.
Once my brothers and I performed a cruel and sadistic experiment. We cut the head off of a chocolate rabbit, filled it with jelly beans and melted the head back on. PETA went apoplectic.
I'd recommend you have at LEAST a 45-70 on hand at all times in case you come across oversized Peeps. They get pretty aggressive during the mating season.
It is always been my experience that this early in the year the foil wrapping on the chocolate bunnies hasn’t really matured yet. The problem is sometimes the foil carries through with the shot into the body of the chocolate bunny. You have to be a little bit careful cleaning them to be sure you get all that foil out. I’m not sure why but it doesn’t seem to be as big a problem later in the year.
Ohhhh YEAH! A Harrell Holiday Special! I’ll set everything else aside immediately. Now I've watched! I'm so damn grateful these videos exist for us to enjoy, Paul! I don't know how many times I laughed aloud during this one. You're so funny and wholesome! These Holiday Specials are highlights of the year! "Don't try this at home; I am what you call 'a Professional'" x'D
That moment when you realize you have the same stoeger double barrel 20 gauge shotgun as Paul harrell and instantly become very excited about hunting chocolate bunnies
My grandfather used to call this hunting with a silver bullet ( or fishing with a silver hook ). He too had mastered the arts of the great outdoors. In those days our coins still were made of silver , and I suddenly realized ; I am getting up there in years myself now at 74. A fine presentation on proper field care and cooking of the ever elusive Chocolate Bunny.
That was great, thanks for taking the time to make this easter special (aswell as all your videos) for us, i appreciate it! Happy easter Paul and everyone else!

Paul Harrell, for the middle-aged man of discerning taste.
Ain't it the truth?
“And I’m stylin” is the best comment I’ve heard him make. Paul could be the best model ever. Also him leaning down and going “Got him 👍” 😂 I love how most of this video is him just blowing chocolate bunnies apart with different guns. “Is that a space shuttle?!” Chocolate bunny went ⬆️🐇
That was so unexpected 🤣
I lost it at the space shuttle part 😂
He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means. 😀
@@therealsilens the stylin and got him were funny, but yeah, the space shuttle part was another level of hilarious
I did not wake up this morning expecting Paul Harrel, of all people, to use the word 'stylin'.

"Kim Kardashian?" (peeps be gone)
