History WebAnimation / RetardedAnimalBabies

A Flash series created by David C. Lovelace, hosted on Website/{{Newgrounds}}. Started out as a single short with the titular babies trying to teach the alphabet (similar to a ''Series/SesameStreet'' spot, if the ''Sesame Street'' writers [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs all did crack]]), and veered off into a series with the characters as actual characters, with actual storylines and dialog and stuff... sort of.

* TakeThatAudience: In the third episode, VideoGame/{{Pico}} (Newgrounds' mascot) is shown watching the cartoon (captioned in AOL-speak): "I watched this on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, and I hated it. It rips off WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends. Blam this piece of shit!" (viewer then gets an anvil dropped on his head)

Definitely not safe for work, or anyone who has problems with {{Funny Animal}}s in sexual situations.

* AnythingThatMoves: Puppy is, if allegedly straight, willing to screw just about anyone and anything, up to and including [[ScrewYourself himself]] and a computer's floppy drive.

Retarded Animal Babies (or RAB in acronym form) is a morbidly bizarre Flash cartoon similar to ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' that was squeezed from the rectum of David Lovelace and flushed into the servers of Newgrounds in 2003. The first episode is notable for such things as a hamster jumping on set of double D tits, a close up view of a dog's dick, and a donkey eating ham salad. Seeing comedy gold, Lovelace returned to portajohn to make 20 more episodes.

There are currently 23 episodes of Retarded Animal Babies that have been released, two of which are exclusive to [=DVDs=] released by David Lovelace's self-owned company LCD Productions.

RAB has all the elements catering to the NG aspie sense of humor, which involves cute things being killed. It's supposed to be funny because cute children's stuff being killed and swearing is ironic, according to 4chan and average NG users.

There are six characters with the first being bunny who is A yellow rabbit. His main gimmick in the series is that he is killed in every episode (with few exceptions) yet always returns unharmed in the next one (similar to Kenny McCormick of the TV series South Park). He is arguably the kindest-hearted of the group, but has been known to frequently show an evil, angrier side. Bunny is obsessed with Japanese pop culture, as can be noted by the "Elder Gods Effect", his mentioning of the OVA Urotsukidoji in RAB episode 5, and wearing a Japanese Red-sun flag as a head cover in RAB episode 15.

Next is Cat An orange cat. Apparently the smartest and most articulate of the RABs, not necessarily the "straight man" of the group. His ideas are generally dismissed by Bunny or Puppy. Cat and Puppy frequently have arguments over various things. Cat is also the only character shown to have a home. He lives with his drunken stepfather. Cat is a huge fan of the classic movie A Christmas Story. Cat also has a cousin who appears in some episodes. Cat's real parents are a hooker and Donkey (though this was only stated in one episode.

Next is Donkey. A gray donkey. He is easily the most foolish of the RABs (in RAB 15, he says that "[his] mind is fuzzier than Puppy's ballsack"), as well as the character least likely to become angry. He also speaks in a Southern accent, even though, as Cat's stepfather suggested in RAB 5, he is a Canadian. He commonly gets normal things confused, uses things incorrectly, and doesn't make a lot of sense when he talks. For example, in RAB 5, he suggests everyone catch thumbtacks on their bare eyes. The group did not follow his advice, but did in RAB 14 when he suggested that they "make a giant shit pie and eat 'em all ups." He frequently annoys Puppy, who resorts to beating Donkey to silence him.

Next is Hamster. A beige hamster. Lovelace has said "he is either the smartest or the dumbest of the characters." Much like Cat's obsession with A Christmas Story, Hamster has an unhealthy obsession with Bruce Willis, even going as far as staying a virgin because he was "saving himself" for Willis. Most RAB fans see him as being the "cute" character. He also has grammar problems, Some notable examples being: "It are" (It is), "I are" (I am), "We am" (We are), "It are blackerest in here" (It's dark in here). Hamster cheers for very unusual reasons: in RAB 3, he cheered when Pico was cursed at by Puppy. In RAB 6, he cheered when Puppy confessed a murder. In RAB 8, he cheered when Puppy allowed him to have sex with Bruce Willis, and in RAB 10 he cheered when Puppy was about to climax while having sex with Cat's stepfather's computer. Hamster is the only character who can end an RAB episode, and he does so by saying "THE END!" Simpsons creator Matt Groening ended RAB 3 by assassinating the RAB cast, killing Hamster by shooting him in the head.

Next is Puppy A brown dog. He is the main focus of most RAB episodes. Puppy is obsessed with sexual intercourse and breasts, but has little success attracting women. He has a very short temper, which causes him to attack, and sometimes kill, the other characters. In one episode, his obsession with women was revealed to have stemmed from having no female role models (his mother died during child birth). He is the only character shown with a visible penis & testicles. His alter ego, a satirical super-villain called the "Fucking Fucker", appears occasionally. Puppy is the most foul-mouthed character. In RAB 8, plus a crossword puzzle "Easter egg" hidden in a future episode, it is revealed that Puppy's father is Sean Connery.

Next is Satan The Devil himself. First appeared when Donkey brought him for Show and Tell along with three potatoes and a bucket full of pelicans. Satan has appeared in almost all episodes of RAB to date.

We also have Cat's stepdad. A notorious drunk and a stereotypically repressed homosexual. He sleeps excessively, smokes marijuana, and frequently threatens to injure or kill Cat. He also has a hatred for Cat's friends. During high school, he was an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, which he attempted to hide from others and also turned him to drugs and alcohol. His character was a half-elf paladin, which Cat's Cousin (see below) said was against the rules of the game. He often calls Cat or his friends "queer".

Not only those weirdos but along with the gang we have Cat's Cousin. She comes to visit Cat and his stepdad occasionally. Cat considers her very annoying. When she's hanging out with the RABs, she serves as the straight man of the group, but has little success containing the others. In RAB 13, Cat's cousin plays the role of "Catmé" during the RABs' parody of Star Wars. She plays Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon.

If you think that's all ... Oh no your wrong bc we get to see Hamster's Gumpa. A centenarian and war veteran (presumably from World War II). During the war, he lost both his hands. They were replaced with hooks. Due to this, he has mutilated his genitals while attempting to masturbate. According to Cat, he smells like cabbage.

Now there are not only characters but villains like the Leprechaun Aliens who attempted to take over the world by getting everyone drunk, then stealing their souls such that no one will be able to stop the invasion. The aliens are invisible to the common eye, though sunglasses found by the RABs can make them visible. The aliens plan to return in 2007 to try the invasion again. Matt Groening was also revealed to be working with the aliens. The leprechaun characters were borrowed from another Lovelace cartoon, The Sci-Fi Guys.

There's also a famous figure from pop culture referenced in the show being You Guessed It ! Matt Groening Creator of Life in Hell, The Simpsons, and Futurama. Considering Retarded Animal Babies as a threat to his upcoming Simpsons movie, he disguises himself as a sheep in RAB 3 to interrupt their "Show and Tell" day and kills them all (Hamster's death is not shown). In the next episode, all characters reappeared, unharmed. Groening was revealed to be working with aliens planning world domination later in the series.

With the last three being Pico, The Fucking Fucker, and finally Boozy along with Karen Boozeborne

In addition to random swearing, farts, violence, lots of blood, sexual content, animals and general retardation; Retarded Animal Babies tops it all off with the inclusion of random tits and penises to make it perfectly in tune with their 13 year old audience. Every episode has more than a million views, and RAB has been nominated for several awards, further proving that the current youth generation is the most violently retarded in the history of mankind.
