Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })From the mind of Dav Pilkey, the man who would later bring us Captain Underpants, comes The Dumb Bunnies, a children's book series about a family of astoundingly moronic, pink-furred rabbits who wear nothing but underwear. It is a parody of Good Night Moon and a pastiche of The Stupids.In every book, Papa Bunny, Mama Bunny, and Baby Bunny would engage in some kind of everyday activity, like going to the beach or celebrating the holidays together. But because of their stupidity and eccentricity, they would always do things in the opposite manner (like sleeping under the bed or wearing winter clothes in the summer) or misunderstand how something functioned (like literally watching a football on a TV or mistaking a revolving door for a carnival ride). And yet despite all the silliness they got themselves into, they always came out with the same goofy smiles and cheery dispositions as before.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series consists of: The Dumb Bunnies (1994) The Dumb Bunnies' Easter (1995) Make Way for Dumb Bunnies (1996) The Dumb Bunnies Go to the Zoo (1997)The books were given an Animated Adaptation in 1998 that was produced by Canada's Nelvana and Australia's Yoram Gross animation studios. It ran for 2 seasons of 26 episodes and aired on CBS in the United States, STV in the UK, and YTV in Canada. Episodes can now be seen at Nelvana's Keep It Weird channel on Youtube.Interestingly, the Animated Adaptation would not be the last tryst between Canadian animation and Dav Pilkey's work. His Dragon books were made into a stop-motion cartoon in 2004 by Quebec's Cité-Amérique, while Dreamworks' Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie had its animation outsourced to Montreal. | |

Canon Foreigner: The animated series has a few new characters, namely the Dumb Bunnies' more "normal" neighbors, the Uppities; the local con artist, Sly Fox; and Papa Bunny's boss, Professor Bunsen. | |

Hilarity in Zoos | |
| The Dumb Bunnies / int_1b67e495 | comment |
Hilarity in Zoos: The Dumb Bunnies Go to the Zoo naturally involves this, with the Bunnies mistaking a bird for an elephant and a butterfly for a lion, which leads to them freeing all the animals when the "lion" escapes its cage (read: flies away) and then adopting a pair of giant apes they mistake for a box of free kittens. | |

Easter Special: The Dumb Bunnies' Easter. For the family, the holiday includes such traditions as spray-painting fried eggs and putting up the Easter Tree (upside-down, of course). | |

Too Dumb to Fool | |
| The Dumb Bunnies / int_b588a9b6 | comment |
Too Dumb to Fool: More often than not, the Dumb Bunnies get out of situations by being too stupid to be overcome. This is especially prominent in their interactions with Sly Fox in the TV show, whose attempts to scam them are constantly foiled by the fact they're simply too stupid to be conned. | |
