Doctor Rabbit



Dr. Rabbit (also known as Professor Lepus in order to avoid copyright infringement) is an anthropomorphic bunny dentist originally created by Colgate-Palmolive in 1998 to teach kids about dental hygiene (and shill Colgate toothpaste). He has starred in four videos: Dr. Rabbit's World Tour, Dr. Rabbit and the Legend of Tooth Kingdom, Dr. Rabbit Comes to School, and How to Have a Bright Smile.

In World Tour, Dr. Rabbit travels around the world to promote oral hygiene, and meets several kids along the way. In Tooth Kingdom, he and his new female assistant tell a story to a group of children about a kingdom under attack by the evil sorcerer Plaqula. In Comes to School, He -- as a puppet joined by Alpha Betty and Doogan the dog -- teach some schoolchildren how to brush and become Super... Duper... Brushing... CHAMPIONS!!!

The series as a whole:

 * Fanwork Ban: The most infamous in the Youtube Poop community.
 * Merchandise-Driven
 * Serious Business: Colgate-Palmolive once filed DMCA claims against several of these poops, leading to the uploaders' bans. They have since loosened up, though.

Dr. Rabbit's World Tour:

 * Big No: Dr. Rabbit gets one when a hippo suggests brushing his teeth with Mr. Giraffe's toothbrush.
 * Free-Range Children: None of these children inform their parents before running off to another continent with a giant purple rabbit.
 * Kangaroo Pouch Ride
 * Villain Song: The plaque song
 * Vocal Dissonance: Olivia, the Australian girl, sounds like a 30-year-old woman. Subverted with the other kids, though, who actually sound like kids.

Dr. Rabbit and the Legend of Tooth Kingdom:

 * Art Evolution
 * Do Not Do This Cool Thing: It's hard to avoid eating sweets when they all look so tasty.
 * Level Ate: Plaqula's castle sits atop a mountain of candy.

 * Live Action Adaptation: Also with puppets.
 * More Teeth Than the Osmond Family: Doogan.
