'''''Bunnykill''''' is a flash series hosted on [[Newgrounds]]. The stories follow a white rabbit named Snowball slicing, hacking, slashing, shooting, gunning, and blasting his way through legions of grey bunny [[Mooks]]. The main draw of the series is the juxtaposition of cutesy cartoon bunnies getting shot up and sliced into bloody pieces. Mottis is not attempting to tell a "coherent" story with it; instead, like ''[[
The series is commonly described as ''[[

{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: All the blades. ''All of them.''
* [[Action Girl]]: Ruby
Line 27 ⟶ 15:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Professor Sludge is pretty much the only character who doesn't like getting his murder on.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: The minigun in 5.2 takes a long time to set up (with a progress bar even), but had Dust not had a riot shield handy he'd be [[Ludicrous Gibs]]. Even still, it's knockback was enough to keep him pinned until the ammo belt got jammed due to lack of maintainence.
* [[Back
* [[Badass]]: All over the place. Flint deserves bonus points, given {{spoiler|his reaction to Snowball going all super-anime-glowing-mode is to simply [[Dual
* [[Badass Boast]]: {{spoiler|"Shut the [[Precision F
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Smoke, in the first installment. Leads immediately to [[Wrecked Weapon]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: If you hurt Snowball's girlfriend, he will kill you. If you ''kill'' his girlfriend, he will kill you ''slowly.''
Line 35 ⟶ 23:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The fourth episode. {{spoiler|Snowball defeats Flint, but not before Flint kills Ruby. [[Word of God|Mottis]] said she'll likely come back if enough people like her, though.}}
* [[Blade Brake]]: Done a total of 3 times by Dust in ''5.2'': once to stop himself from falling off a truck into the street, twice to slow down a car.
* [[Blade
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Dust in ''5'', courtesy of Sludge's [[Psycho Serum]]. He snaps out of it only after [[Dead Sidekick|killing Snowball]]}}.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Professor Sludge, who goes down like a complete chump in both of his appearances.
Line 42 ⟶ 30:
** The second ninja uses teleport spam similar to what Smoke used in 1 and what Snowball himself used during his [[Super Mode]] in 4. {{spoiler|Snowball knows the trick by now and correctly guesses where the next strike will come from.}}
* [[Cool Shades]]: Smoke is never seen without his blue sunglasses. {{spoiler|They're all that's left of him in 5.2 after Dust is done with him, letting off one last shine before getting minced by a helicopter.}}
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[Heroes Prefer Swords|Snowball]] and Dust always get their hands on these: Snowball's trusty katana in 1, 4 and 5, Dust's several katana in 2 (one of which Snowball takes), the lightsabers (including Dust's [[Double Weapon]]) in 3), and of course Dust's awesome [[Swiss Army Weapon]] in 5. Smoke, who normally prefers [[One Handed Is Cool|handguns]], uses a [[Shout
* [[Dead Sidekick]]: If Snowball is partnered up with someone in a Bunnykill flash, chances are he or she will be dead by the time the flash is over.
** Smoke is killed by Dust in ''3'' after a battle reminiscent of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul from [[Star Wars]] Episode 1.
Line 52 ⟶ 40:
* [[Double Weapon]]: Dust in ''3'' wields a double-bladed lightsaber reminiscent of Darth Maul. Ruby in ''4'' wields a double-bladed staff.
* [[Diabolus Ex Vacuus]]: Dust in ''3''.
* [[Dual
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The ninjas in ''1'', agents in ''2'', the jetpack duo in ''3'', the red ninjas in ''4'', and the invisible teleporting bunnies in ''5''.
** Every installment after the first has darker grey bunnies that are slightly more competent and better-armed compared to basic Mooks.
* [[Exploding Barrels]]: Prevalent throughout ''5'' but only utilized on a few occasions.
* [[For Science!]]: Professor Sludge's entire character, according to the credits for ''5.2''.
* [[Flash Step]]: Various forms of short-range teleportation are used in the fourth installment; Flint's even uses the pose of [[
* [[Gatling Good]]: Or not so good, as two mooks found out when they only managed to {{spoiler|stall Dust long enough for Smoke to escape to the helicopter on the roof. Smoke would have made a clean escape if the minigun's feeding belt hadn't jammed.}}
* [[Giant Mook]]: Several
* [[Gorn]]: It ''was'' inspired by ''[[
* [[Gun and Sword]]: Snowball, on occasion.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Smoke.
Line 73 ⟶ 61:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Flint in killing Ruby, Snowball's only [[Love Interest]] thus far.
** Smoke gets one in ''5'' by {{spoiler|activating the [[Psycho Serum]] injector, turning Dust [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] and ultimately leading to Snowball's death. Leaving his own partner to be killed by the aforementioned Dust was also a serious dick move.}} He's also a ''colossal'' dick to his mooks in the second half, deliberately shoving them into the way of his pursuer to save his own hide.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Well, ''duh.'' Check the [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Laser Blade]]: The standard sword in ''Bunnykill 3'' is a lightsaber.
** In ''5'', the cyborg ninjas have laser blades that don't seem as reliable, and other [[Elite Mooks]] sometimes carry stun batons that glow just like a [[Laser Blade]].
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Some of the mooks in ''5'' use police shields. [[Kleptomaniac Hero|Naturally, Snowball steals one, as does Dust]].
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Professor Sludge.
* [[Master Swordsman]]: Snowball and Dust.
* [[Mecha
* [[Milky White Eyes]]: Dust. {{spoiler|In ''5'', they're a sign that he's [[Brainwashed and Crazy]].}}
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|Dust, after killing Snowball}} in ''5''.
* [[Neck Snap]]: Snowball does it in ''5.''
* [[Non
* [[Not Quite Saved Enough]]: One mook in episode 5 part 2 who gets his arm ripped off by Dust manages to escape for a few moments while Dust tends to his colleagues. Dust even lets him live once said colleagues are dead. Unfortunately for him, Dust ends up needing to use him as a [[Bulletproof Human Shield|Bulletproof Bunny Shield.]]
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Dust falls god-knows-how many stories off the roof of a building after missing Smoke's helicopter, and all that happens is he lands on top of a truck, and keeps going.
** The ending implies he broke several ribs.
* [[One
* [[The Rival]]: Some fans consider Dust to be this to Snowball.
* [[Playing
* [[Professional Killer]]: Everybody except Professor Sludge.
* [[Reliably Unreliable Guns]]: A jam in the minigun is what {{spoiler|gives Dust the chance to take it out and catch up to Smoke}} in ''5.2''.
Line 97 ⟶ 85:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The city backgrounds in ''5''.
* [[Sequel Escalation]]
* [[Shout
** 5 has several to [[Metal Gear]]: The intro with codec screen, hiding in boxes, the exclamation mark warning...
* [[Sociopathic Hero]]
Line 105 ⟶ 93:
** He's demonstrating a certain mixture of exhausted panting and attempts to flee by the end.
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Dust's [[Shotguns Are Just Better|shotgun]]-[[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]] in ''5''.
* [[Super Mode]]: Snowball's "White Avenger" mode, which is seen by many as a [[Shout
** Fighting game fans may also see references to the [[Street Fighter|Satsui No Hadou]] and the [[King of Fighters|Orochi power]]. It's a strange mixture.
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: Until ''5'', no one spoke, except for rare instances where "conversations" were staged using speech bubbles and pictures. Flint, Snowball, {{spoiler|Dust, and an unknown person}}, are all given lines in ''5''
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Well, taking the shuriken in ''Bunny Kill 4''.
* [[Taking You
* {{spoiler|[[These Hands Have Killed]]: Dust does this in ''5'' immediately after snapping out of his [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] state and realizing he's just killed Snowball.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: The final kill of ''5''? Dust chucks his [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]] at Smoke, [[Impaled
* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]: Flint and the mysterious figure that he answers to in ''5''.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Treacherous Advisor]]/[[Treacherous Quest
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Snowball unleashes the fury in ''4'' when Flint crosses the line.
** As does {{spoiler|Dust}} throughout the second half of ''5'' in response to {{spoiler|Snowball's death}}.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Everybody. Some get quotes during the credits, though, and Smoke speaks to Snowball with simple pictures in thought balloons.
** Averted thrice in ''5'''. During the intro, characters have text dialogue; and at the climax, a character actually gives a voiced scream ( {{spoiler|Dust breaking out of the [[Psycho Serum]] trance}}) and in the 2nd half one of the mooks performs the [[Stock Scream|Wilhelm Scream]] {{spoiler|during the highway chase in the finale}}.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 5 turns the series formula right on its head by {{spoiler|having ''Snowball'' killed for the first time in the entire series, and subsequently the first episode where Snowball ultimately isn't the main protagonist.}}
* [[Wilhelm Scream]]: Let out by a mook during the [[Chase Fight]] scene between {{spoiler|Dust and Smoke}}.
* [[World of Badass]]: Professor Sludge is the only character, named ''or unnamed'', who isn't a fighter. And ''he's'' a [[Mad Scientist]].
