Usavich (from Usagi, Japanese for rabbit, and -vich, which is faux Russian) is a short CG-animated comedy that airs on MTV Japan. Briefly, Usavich is about two anthropomorphic rabbit fugitives. The first is Putin, a carefree and happy-go-lucky rabbit who always follows orders, dances a lot, is very skilled with repairing things, and panics quite often. The second is Kirenenko, an apathetic and ultra-strong rabbit who cares only about reading his shoe catalog or cleaning his shoes, and is oblivious to the fact that he lives in jail. Minor characters in the spare cast include Leningrad, a frog, and Comaneci, a strange hermaphroditic chicken... thing.The first season focuses on prison life. The second season follows their adventures after escaping prison in a run-down car on a precarious mountain road. The third season deals with their stay at a high-rise skyscraper in the city. The fourth season observes Putin's attempts to perfect a robot duplicate of Kirenenko. In the fifth season they are trying to live in a forest while fending off attacks of a savage rabbit. The sixths season is a prequel ("Season Zero") about prison life when Kirenenko was still recovering from his wounds and before they became cellmates.The comedy could best be described as adolescent. There's a bit of Toilet Humour, a lot of Slapstick (Kirenenko goes berserk quite often), and some surreal Black Comedy moments. Its lack of dialogue also makes it very accessible for a casual observer. | |

Nigh-Invulnerability: Pretty much anything directed at Kirenenko be it guillotines, sniper bullets to the head, or even artillery shells, will just bounce off him. Eating live explosives won't even faze him. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Usavich / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: The reason why Putin was in jail in the first place is because he was late for a job due to a hangover. And the judges conclude that he was jailed as a capitalist agent (This show takes place in somewhere similar to Soviet Russia). Implied with Putin again if Kirenenko's death glare is of any indication after Putin accidentally pokes a hole in Kirenenko's shoe catalog with a toothbrush. | |

| Usavich / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: The Kanschkov operating the doors. Though we know they're yellow rabbits, for most of the series they use their doors as 24HourArmor that shows only their eyes and, in cases where Kirenenko is roughing them up, bits of the back of their head, arms and feet. It isn't until Season 0 that we really get a good look at them. | |

Came Back Wrong: In the flashback in Season 3 Kirenenko and Killnenko were torn to pieces by an explosion. They've been put together, but some parts got mixed. A chunk of Kirenenko's skull has wrong colour and breaks off easier. In Season 2 Kirenenko loses said chunk after blasting off a jet engine together with Putin. In the next episode Putin puts him back together but attaches the chunk wrong. | |

Then in the prequel we learn that Putin has been giving food to Leningrad, helping him to quickly grow from tadpole to a young adult. | |

After both Kirenenko and his opponent get injected with some super-steroid, the crowd goes running and Putin jumps for cover. When he looks up, the opponent is embedded in the ring, but Kirenenko is sitting on a stool, a light shining down on him, in black and white, ala Tomorrow's Joe | |
