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 Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise, each episode is stand-alone, taking the same characters in multiple directions.
 
The series is commonly described as ''[[Madness Combat (Web Animation)|Madness Combat]]'' [[Recycled in Space|with bunnies]]. In terms of animation and choreography, this is a very apt comparison, [[Sincerest Form of Flattery|as admitted by the animator himself]]. More recently, the two series have distanced themselves quite a bit in the story department, with ''[[Madness Combat (Web Animation)|Madness Combat]]'' becoming [[Darker and Edgier]] while [[BunnykillBunny Kill]] has explored more fantastic setting such as a [[Star Wars]] parody and feudal Japan.
 
Characters include:
Line 12:
* '''Ruby''': A pink rabbit who is currently the only female cast member. She first appeared in ''Bunny Kill 4'' as Snowball's [[Fire-Forged Friends|Fire-Forged Friend]]. ''Death Count: 1''
* '''Flint''': A tan rabbit with [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] who doesn't seem to talk much. First appeared in ''Bunny Kill 4'' as that episode's Big Bad, and makes a small cameo in ''5'' as Snowball's [[Mission Control]] {{spoiler|and turns out to be the one behind the [[Psycho Serum]] experiment who deliberately sent Snowball to his death on the orders of an as-yet-unnamed figure}}. ''Death Count: 2''
* '''The Minions''': The [[Mooks]]. They range from standard mooks, to [[Mecha -Mooks]], to [[Giant Mook|Giant Mooks]] and more, but they rarely last more than a few seconds against Snowball {{spoiler|or Dust}}. ''Death Count: 433.''
 
Mottis' account at Newgrounds, with the videos, can be found [http://mottis.newgrounds.com/flash/ here].
Line 35:
* [[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 Onon a Stick]]: Both Ruby and the samurai minions use one in ''4''.
* [[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 57:
* [[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 [[DragonballDragon Ball|Goku's instant transmission]]. Smoke can also do this in Bunnykill 1, leading to a [[Teleport Spam]] move that reduces Snowball to [[You Can Barely Stand]].
* [[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 ''[[Madness Combat (Web Animation)|Madness Combat]]'', after all.
* [[Gun and Sword]]: Snowball, on occasion.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Smoke.
Line 73:
* [[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 Onon the Tin|title.]]
* [[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]].
Line 79:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Professor Sludge.
* [[Master Swordsman]]: Snowball and Dust.
* [[Mecha -Mooks]]: Robot rabbits in the third episode.
* [[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''.
Line 89:
* [[One-Man Army]]: Snowball, obviously.
* [[The Rival]]: Some fans consider Dust to be this to Snowball.
* [[Playing Withwith Syringes]]: What Professor Sludge and Smoke were doing to Dust in ''5''. {{spoiler|And the syringe was full of [[Psycho Serum]].}}
* [[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:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The city backgrounds in ''5''.
* [[Sequel Escalation]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Bunnykill engages in quite numerous shoutouts on occasion. ''3'' has the lightsabers, ''4'' has one to ''[[Killer Instinct (Video Game)|Killer Instinct]]'', and the Dragon Shrine showdown in ''4'' has several to shounen anime, such as Flint's [[Naruto|shadow clone jutsu]] and Snowball going into a [[Dragonball Z|Super Saiyan-like state]] after {{spoiler|Flint kills Ruby}}, complete with fireball moves and even [[King of Fighters|Rugal's Genocide Cutter]].
** 5 has several to [[Metal Gear]]: The intro with codec screen, hiding in boxes, the exclamation mark warning...
* [[Sociopathic Hero]]
Line 109:
* [[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 Withwith Me]]: One red ninja attempts this after being shot with an arrow by Snowball. It doesn't work, but he gets points for trying.
* {{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 Withwith Extreme Prejudice|impaling him]] and sending him [[Helicopter Blender|falling into the spinning rotors of his own helicopter.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]: Flint and the mysterious figure that he answers to in ''5''.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Treacherous Advisor]]/[[Treacherous Quest-Giver]]: Flint in ''5''}}
