''Brandy & Mr. Whiskers'' was an American animated television series that aired from August 2004 to August 2006 on Creator/DisneyChannel, with concurrent reruns on Creator/ToonDisney.

''Brandy and Mr. Whiskers'' follows the titular duo: a literal AlphaBitch from Palm Beach, Florida and a GeniusDitz rabbit. After getting ejected from the cargo hold of a plane (Brandy was on her way to a spa, while Mr. Whiskers was going to be sold to a Paraguayan zoo for 39 cents), the two animals are forced to live together and strike up a friendship in the Amazon Rainforest, living in a treehouse built from the debris that fell out with them.

** Lemurs can be seen in some episodes. They might have been meant to be ringtails (relatives of raccoons and coatis), but those don't live in South America.

* BloodsuckingBats: Double subverted where they meet a bat named Vlad. Whiskers is scared because "bats suck blood" but he says he is a fruit bat. After some shenanigans we discover that Vlad is indeed a blood bat, but that he specifically drinks only cows and horses blood and that he hides it because people are always to scared to hear any explanation.

* MisplacedWildlife: South American tapirs are brown, not black and white (they live in Asia).
** Geckos don't live in the Americas.

''Brandy & Mr. Whiskers'' was an American animated television series about a snobbish dog and a hyperactive rabbit living together in the Amazon Rainforest together. The show originally aired from August 2004 to August 2006. It was televised in the United States by Creator/DisneyChannel, and then aired on Creator/ToonDisney.

Brandy and Mr. Whiskers start getting acquainted as they began their new lives in the Amazon Rain Forest. They build a treehouse to live in, using debris that fell out the plane's cargo compartment ... along with them. A big part of the series is Brandy's desperation to getting back to her home in Palm Beach, Florida. In the meantime, both she and Mr. Whiskers adapt by exploring the environment and making friends with the native animals. Brandy makes attempts to get the jungle to become a civilized society by introducing elements such as fashion, hygiene, and currency ("shiny rocks"). Mr. Whiskers prefers to mix things up by using the powers of invention and imagination to occupy his time, but it usually causes havoc in the jungle. This affects his popularity.

As Brandy and Mr. Whiskers get more settled in the jungle, a lot of changes are put in order. They redecorated the treehouse by giving the interior a more "homely environment", which includes flowery wallpaper, tasteful decor, and an indoor bathroom (this was after Mr. Whisker's new "dream house" was destroyed). The native animals have also become more anthropomorphic as they have now established a new market economy in the Amazon. They have developed clothing, consumer products, restaurants, theme parks, TV commercials, a boy band called Sugartoad, and a shopping mall. These drastic changes are possibly the result of Brandy using shiny rocks as currency. The lack of adaptation has also lowered Brandy's desire to getting back home (as it is not as mentioned).

* PottyEmergency: Happens to Whiskers in "Tree Huggin' Bunny", as part of Brandy's plan to incapacitate Whiskers long enough to tear down a tree. She even pulls out the old water imagery trick--mentioning walking pass the waterfall, stopping by the bathroom, and even saying "[[GratuitousFrench oui, oui]]"--all in the hopes of making Whiskers snap. Thankfully, it doesn't result in PottyFailure, as he manages to relieve himself in a nearby pile of bushes [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming while his friends defend the tree for him]].

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From I am Rainfo. *Lola breaks in * "AAAH! The boa constrictor, it squeezes the life out of it's prey!" *Cheryl and Meryl break in* "AAAH! Toucans, they use their beaks to crush fruits and defenseless animals!" *Ed breaks in* "AAAH! The river otter, it tells long boring stories and has a very weak bladder!"

** In "Bunny On my , Whiskers claims that rabbits are part of the order Rodentia. They're actually part of the order Lagomorpha, and contrary to popular belief, not true rodents.

--> '''Lola''': Brandy, this isn't a cartoon! This is real life!
--> '''Brandy''': (a {{beat}}, then she turns to the camera) I don't have the heart to tell her.

* CreditCardPlot

** In another episode, Mr.Whiskers' brain throws a party and everyone is dancing. Everyone except Ed who appears to be passed out over a piano.

-->'''Brandy''': This isn't that "I saved your life so you become hopelessly annoyingly devoted to me" plot is it?
-->'''Whiskers''': It is, sorry we had to do it sooner or later.

* MisplacedWildlife: South American tapirs are Brown, not Black and White (they live in Asia)
** Geckos Don't live in the Americas

* OddCouple: The show's premise
* OrganAutonomy: Mr Whiskers' brain.

--> '''Brandy:''' Mr. Whiskers, that is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! How did you do it?
--> '''Mr. Whiskers:''' Eh, I honestly do not know, I'm a rabbit. Magic just comes naturally.

--> '''Brandy:''' ''Come on! If something happens to the stars, It would be obvious we did it!''
--> '''[[SmugSnake Gaspar]]:''' ''Ah, what if'' I ''took care of'' your ''problem, and'' you ''take care of'' my ''problem. If anyone asks, we both would have alibis.'' [BreakingTheFourthWall]: ''[[AsideComment It is a totally original idea]], [[LampshadeHanging nobody has ever thought to use it in a movie plot.]]''

* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: Mr Whiskers' brain.

* HiddenDepths: Mr Whiskers is a highly skilled magician.

* {{Keet}}: Mr.Whiskers. Dear lord, Mr.Whiskers.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Brandy reinvented currency so she would regain her RichBitch status. What she didn't realize is the way money works; While the more intelligent animals followed up by constructing official buildings and workplaces to earn money, Brandy just sat there waiting. As a result, [[SmugSnake Gaspar]] ended up as a millionaire (even before tricking Mr. Whiskers into a huge credit card debt although it sure helped). Brandy on the other hand had to work on a fast food restaurant just to make a living. A job that she was too lazy to keep nevertheless.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "Two Heads are Not Better Than One", Brandy, dressed in only a grass skirt together with her traditional pink shirt, is getting the treehouse ready for a party when Whiskers comes back having grown a second head. Upon thinking she 'should be more freaked out' she learns the second head can talk which causes Brandy to go into a WildTake. During this, we see the underside of Brandy's grass skirt (she's wearing panties underneath, but still one wonders how that got past Standards and Practices)!

* NoEnding: We'll just assume they never go home.

* RichBitch: Brandy (Literally!).
** Eventually subverted: She invented currency in the form of shiny rocks... Only to realize she know nothing about EARNING money.
