Llamas in the sims and other ongoing jokes
Do you like the llama jokes in the sims or other ongoing jokes/easter eggs in the series? What do you think of them? I just know I hated the llama mascot in TS2 he was so annoying and obnoxious ...

I wish I knew the origin story for either. that would help. to me they are just inside jokes that show me I'm on the outside.can anyone tell me how they originated and what they signify?
From the wiki: Will Wright, creator of The Sims, stated "many years ago, we had a company-wide vote for our informal company-wide mascot, and the choices came down to the Boston tree fern, beef tape worm and a llama. And somehow the llama won the vote!" From then, llamas became a running gag in franchises associated with Maxis and Will Wright.
I didn't see anything about the freezer bunny's inception, just that it first appeared in the Sims 2 grocery freezer on a juice box. It was probably just something the artist who made it thought was cute, then someone else put the juice box in another fridge or freezer, someone else saw it and thought it was cute and stuck it somewhere else... and at some point it just started getting put everywhere as an inside joke.
