Synopsis

The series stars the titular Bunny Maloney, who is a pink anthropomorphic rabbit, and he is often blundering and over-confident. He lives in an apartment with his friends: Candy Bunny (another pink rabbit constantly wearing a red scrunchie, who is also his girlfriend), Jean-François (a blue dog-like creature of an unnamed species with a long tail, who can only say his own name). They also have a small, light blue pet owned by Candy of an unknown species named Potchi, who also serves as the ProtecTeam's mascot, and Bunny's fish (each colored red, cyan, yellow and medium magenta). They live in Bunnyville, a town that is the target of the infamous Professor Débilouman, their sworn enemy, assisted by Modchi, a light purple creature who is smarter than Débilouman.

In almost every episode, as members of Bunnyville's ProtecTeam, they fight Débilouman aboard their robot (called the Bunnyganger-28) with the help of an intelligent brown badger named Stan Ookie, and Débilouman's submarine (called Tsunami) will sink from either missiles aimed at it (either from the ProtecTeam, or backfiring by accident) or by a button somehow getting pressed on its control panel, serving as a running gag as seen in every episode.

The series also includes popular culture and Japanese culture, such as manga and anime in its design, followed by manga iconography and instances of text being written with Japanese language.

gollark: > In 1924, unsatisfied with the speed of DuPont's TEL production using the "bromide process", General Motors and the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (now known as ExxonMobil) created the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation to produce and market TEL. Ethyl Corporation built a new chemical plant using a high-temperature ethyl chloride process at the Bayway Refinery in New Jersey.[9] However, within the first two months of its operation, the new plant was plagued by more cases of lead poisoning, hallucinations, insanity, and five deaths.[citation needed]
