Funny / Raving Rabbids

BWAAAAAAAAHH!!

The Rabbids franchise has been praised mostly for its absurd humor, especially when involving the psychotic personalities of the titular characters, which upstaged Rayman himself.

Rayman Raving Rabbids:

• In the beginning of the game, after the Ubisoft logo appears, a Rabbid randomly runs across the screen while holding a Wiimote and Nunchuck and screaming at the top of his lungs right before he is hit by a plunger offscreen.
  • This is especially funny for people who are about to play the game for the first time since this moment literally comes out of nowhere.
• At the end of the first mini-game Bunnies Don't Give Gifts, Rayman hands an injured Rabbid a booby-trapped gift and it explodes on his face.
• The mini game Bunnies Like to Stuff Themselves has a Rabbid wearing a chef hat, but rather than cooking, actually eats ANYTHING even if it's not food. The ending cutscene to the mini-game has this same Rabbid burping and apparently collapsing on the floor after eating all of the food (adding one small extra burp for good measure).
• The entire Bunnies Like Surprises mini-game, which has and endless amount of cartoonish slapstick. The gameplay consists of you luring a Rabbid with a plunger stuck to his face to various painful objects like cacti, fire and bear traps. At the end, a 5000 ton weight lands on him.
• All of the loading screens from the Xbox 360 version of the game, especially the one in the beach.
• The Rabbids singing Jingle Bells.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

• A lot of moments from the intro are comedy gold.
  • The Rabbids spontaneously pummeling a news reporter with plungers, and then later smacking the camera and taking the news off the air.
  • Rayman throws a can to distract two Rabbid guards, who then resume to beat each other up. This literally comes out of nowhere.
  • When leader of the Rabbids sees Rayman's disguise, he begins to suspect him. How does he try to figure out where he's seen him before? He takes out a copy of the original Rayman Raving Rabbids boxart to compare the two.
• What tops this is that Rayman convinces the Leader that he's a Rabbid by letting out a ridiculously accurate Rabbid scream (with the help of helium).
• The Burp minigame, which has your Rabbid letting out a burp so loud that it destroys the entire city (and sometimes creating a gas cloud visible from space).
• In one minigame, the intro makes it look like the Rabbids are preparing for an intense Nascar race, but it's later revealed that it's actually just a slow, bicycle race.
• Dial R for Rabbid, or "How to anaesthetize someone with a sausage".
• The menus, which feature Rabbids popping up, screaming and running all over the place in shopping carts.
• If you play the story mode in multiplayer, after you beat all 6 minigames, depending on the country you chose for the gameplay the leaderboards will feature a hilarious outcome for the player who loses. For example, if the first player wins the game in the U.S.A but the second player loses, the second player will be run over by cars repeatedly.
• Celebration is easily the funniest song cover in the game.
• The Rabbids' interactions with humans in the shooter levels.
  • A Rabbid somehow manages to knock out one of the hotel employees. It's funnier in context.
  • One that particularly stands out is the one that takes place in a hotel in Paris, where a Rabbid screams at the managers and resumes to beat them up. Bonus points for the noises the managers are making as they're being attacked.
  • The chef's reaction when the Rabbid Chef invades his restaurant is also priceless.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

• Pretty much anything the 2D animated Rabbids do. Really. The animators clearly had a blast translating the Rabbids' kooky antics into a different style of animation. Everything from their exaggerated facial expressions, to their twitchy movements, but especially the sounds they make.
• The intro of the game has many small but hilarious physical gags.
  • One of the Rabbids kicks another one in order to get him closer to Rayman, who is being chased by eight of them
  • The Rabbids getting distracted by lightning. This also causes Rayman to stop running for a while. When the Rabbids then run after Rayman again, Rayman runs again.
  • When the Rabbids are then struck by the lightning, they become trapped inside Rayman's TV. At first they look confused about their surroundings, but as soon as they see Rayman on the other side, they begin to scream at him. Rayman tries to turn off the TV, but then Rayman witnesses a Rabbid transform into a 2D version.
• The main title screen, which, if you remain idle for a long period of time, will make a 2D Rabbid appear out of nowhere and start engaging in various antics with your television screen, which include:
  • Messing with the volume of your television. It even somehow manages to mute it, making it unable for you to hear the audio of when he farts.
  • The Rabbid also messes with the calibration of the screen, separating his head from his torso.
  • He also interferes with the TV's brightness, which ultimately ends with him blinding himself for setting it too high.
• The opening cutscene to Rabbidass, which has a Rabbid with a parachute about to jump off a building. When he does jump, however, it is revealed that his parachute is just a plain old backpack.
  • The closing cutscene to the mini game has the Rabbid leaving an Impact Silhouette in wet cement.
• The opening cutscene of The Happy Rabbids Show mini-game, which has two Rabbids fighting over a microphone, resulting in the two of them accidentally kissing each other in the mouth.
• The game features micro-games in between some minigames, which feature 2D Rabbids parodying TV commercials. A dedicated fan has made a compilation video featuring all of these parody ads.
  • Among a few of the funniest are the ones where the Rabbids are drinking Capri-Sun, then a random object falls on their head, and the famous Respect the Pouch slogan is said in Rabbid Language.
  • There is also another one parodying iTunes as well as Apple products in general, where you can see a silhouette of a Rabbid wearing headphones dancing to "Toxic" in the background. If you shake your Wii remote in time, you appear to smack him, knocking him unconscious. After this happens, a logo of a half-bitten carrot appears, parodying the Apple logo.
• If you play the game in party mode, there will be additional microgames in-between the minigames, which, in this case, parody game shows and news flashes.
  • One of the microgames is a parody of The Weather Forecast, and featueres a Rabbid wearing a bowl of spaghetti for hair, mimicking a weather lady. The player has to press either the symbol of the sun or the stormcloud in order to beat the game. If the player presses the stormcloud, the Rabbid will pull out a tiny umbrella right before a walrus falls on top of him. If you press the sun, however, a bright light appears to shine from the sky into the Rabbid's eyes. The Rabbid appears to be enchanted by it, but the light turns out to be a stage lighting lamp, which falls down and crashes on the Rabbid's face.

Rabbids Go Home

• The fun starts even before the game begins, as the Rabbids steal the Ubisoft logo right after it appears.
• The Rabbids themselves seem to be more hyper than in the previous entries, smacking dolls around, yelling hysterically at baby carriages (with babies inside), heck, they even spin a dog around. This is also the first Rabbids game where you'll hear the Rabbids laughing in a psychotic manner constantly.
• The Bwaaaaah attack takes the infamous scream and literally scares the pants (and the rest of their clothes off) of humans.
• Whenever you scream at a human cleaning a window, it will cause him to fall off the building. This also occurs to humans who are working in elevators.
• Whenever the Rabbids toss humans and XL objects into their giant pile, and then happily jump around as if the objects they just carelessly threw had no value whatsoever, and completely ignoring the fact that some of the things they collect are living creatures, including a cow. Hilarious how twisted a Rabbid can be.
• Throughout the game, you'll encounter certain objects that will trigger a short cutscene of the Rabbids interacting with said object.
  • There's even one where they pick up a Capri-Sun juice pouch, where Rabbid 2 charges at Rabbid 1's Capri-Sun pouch with a swordfish. After the pouch is stabbed, Rabbid 2's head turns into a swordfish in a puff of smoke.
• More twisted humor ensues as you have a Rabbid stuck inside your Wii Remote. It's even shown as you are calibrating when you start a new game. The Nunchuck works just fine, but the Wii Remote encounters an unknown error, which causes the game to reveal that there is a camera hidden inside the Wii Remote, allowing it to view the Rabbid.
• The Rabbids' version of the Romanian song Sanie Cu Zurgalai, which you can listen to here
• Bãtutã Din Moldova. The entirety of the song is pretty much pure insanity in musical form.
• The levels themselves all have their fair share of dark humor. One of them has the Rabbids pushing humans out of a flying airplane, and then breaking the jet turbine off, only to crash through an airport window and suck the humans into the turbine (although they do come out through the other side of the turbine, only burnt). The cow chasing levels have all have an ending cutscene in which the Rabbids crash into the truck carrying the cow and cause it to fall off a cliff. The developers of this game are obviously crazier than the Rabbids themselves.

Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time

• The entire game in general is hilarious from beginning to end. Just the mere concept of having the most insane, clueless creatures traveling to some of the most important events in human history is enough to make both slapstick and history enthusiasts laugh their hearts out. The game is marketed as a hilarious party game for a good reason.
• If the intro doesn't make you laugh, we don't know what will.
  • The opening basically features the player's Rabbid traveling to various historical locations and messing them up in some way (as well as destroying parts of the washing machine in the process) until he unwillingly ends up in the museum hub you explore at the beginning of the game.

• The various cheeky antics your Rabbid can perform if you interact with certain objects or if you press specific buttons your Wii remote.
  • If your Rabbid screams near a vase, it will shatter to pieces.
  • Crashing against a fire extinguisher will cause your Rabbid to inflate and deflate himself.
  • If you scream underwater, your Rabbid will burp once he emerges out of the water.
  • Walking against electrical force field walls will cause your Rabbid to electrocute himself.
• Pretty much every single opening and closing cutscene to all the mini-games. Whoever storyboarded these sequences seriously picked the best Rabbids material when they pitched them.
  • How did the Titanic crash according to the game? A Rabbid manages to get inside the ship, swallow a couple of beans and knocking the captain unconscious with its fart.
  • The opening to Dim Flash of Inspiration is certainly awkward and weird, but hilarious nonetheless. Basically what happens is a Rabbid crash lands on Benjamin Franklin's farm and somehow manages to inflate an entire cow with a fire extinguisher, which of course, scares the kite-flying Benjamin Franklin
  • Sir Issac Newton gets knocked unconscious twice. First when a Rabbid falls on his head, and then later when the same Rabbid accidentally smacks him with an apple.
  • Your Rabbid's reaction upon meeting Julius Cesar, which causes the emperor to drop him and put his thumb down. It doubles as Fridge Horror when you realize this means bad news for the gladiators in the arena.
  • Your Rabbid also kicks what could very well be the first sea creature to walk on land back into the ocean, all because it bit him in his butt.
  • The scene where the caveman's fire is accidentally put out by a falling Rabbid, and then later by a giant toilet that teleports into the past. The caveman then throws a rock at the Rabbid out of spite, but the rock hits its tooth, creating a spark that somehow ends up cooking an entire mammoth that was standing in the background.

• A lot of the game's instructions and tutorials rely on Reverse Psychology, exhorting the player not to do something when in reality you're supposed to do it.
• The quiz section of the game, particularly the Rabbids category of questions. The A.I asks the player some of the stupidest things ever imaginable. At one point, the A.I. itself seems to acknowledge this.
• The museum's second floor has two objects that will trigger funny gags if your Rabbid interacts with them
  • If your Rabbid bumps his head against the sarcophagus, it will open itself, revealing a mummy sitting on a toilet. Upon seeing the Rabbid, the mummy will scream and slam the door shut.
  • There's also an animatronic fish that will start singing YMCA if you scream near it.
• The Rabbids' version of YMCA
• When you press the button for the Rabbid to scream, you can turn its head back and forth for different notes. This can lead to humorous results.
• The entirety of the Holly-Bolloywood mini-game. The Rabbids somehow manage to survive swimming through the center of the Earth, going as far as even getting to its core, all because they thought it was a shortcut to get to Hollywood.
• Just the fact that the Rabbids somehow got hold of a time and space traveling washing machine. They either built it or stole it - we're still not sure...
• The ending of the 3DS version has the Rabbid attempt to use a refrigerator as a time machine, but he only puts the stuff in the fridge on himself, and he then gets zapped by a lightning spark.

Rabbids Alive and Kicking

• The entire mini-game of Rabbid-O-Matic, which is essentially a Kinect remake of the mini-game Bunnies like Surprises from the original Rayman Raving Rabbids. It essentially features a Rabbid at a car wash wearing a bucket over its head, and the player has to use its voice to guide the Rabbid to various objects that will trigger cartoonish gags throughout the course of the wash.
  • If you guide the Rabbid to where the cars are dried, the large gust of air will blow it away and out the window (and yet he somehow manages to come back in).
  • If you manage to beat this mini-game, the ending cutscene will show the Rabbid getting into a modern sports car, only to have it lifted into the air by one of the yellow submarines, making it crash against it, WITH THE RABBID STILL IN IT
  • Losing the mini-game will cause the Rabbid to take off its bucket, look directly at the camera and then throw it at you while screaming.
• The entire mini-game of Tenderfoot Dance
  • Especially the ending cutscene, where a Rabbid fails to shoot anything out of his weapon, he then tries to test it by pointing it into his face, which of course, ends up with the weapon blasting in his face, sending the Rabbid flying across the room, finally having a giant safe fall on top of him.
• Everything about My Raving Rabbid. Just the fact that you, as the player, can interact with a Rabbid via augmented reality and have the ability to actually slap and kick it is hilarious all on its own.
  • If you do a series of random movements around the Rabbid, it will eventually get so confused that its eyes will turn red and scream
  • Sometimes, if you repeatedly abuse him, he'll get angry and threaten you with gibberish noises.
  • If there are more than two people in the room, the Rabbid will get scared and run around the room screaming.
  • You can also purchase interactive objects from a shop, which when triggered, will have your Rabbid interact with it in some way. One of the objects is a cow that will fall on the Rabbid and flatten him. If you trigger a pepper, your Rabbid will swallow it, making him shoot fire out of his mouth afterwards. The fire extinguisher will make your Rabbid inflate himself, if you slap him while in the air, he'll deflate and start flying around the room like a balloon.
• The ending cutscene of Snot Funny, where a football player randomly kicks a Rabbid into the air.
• The 2D animated Rabbids return, and they're just as hysterical as ever.

• A lot of the mini-games that take place in the city have several Funny Background Event such as:
  • Rabbids riding the back of humans' heads as they flee for their lives.
  • An old lady chasing after a Rabbid with her cane.
  • Large, muscular men running away from small Rabbids.

Rabbids Land

• The opening cutscene to the mini-game Totem Slap has a Rabbid peeing on a Totem that appears to be moving. When the Totem begins to run away, the Rabbid races after it. It is later revealed that the Totem was actually another Rabbid in disguise, and he slaps the peeing Rabbid away.
• The board game, despite being the slowest parts of the game, can actually get a few chuckles now and then.
  • When you trigger a booby trap set by your die, a random cow will appear and fall on the Rabbid of the player's choice.
  • When you land on a Bad Square in the game, a small portal will open underneath, which your Rabbid will fall into. You will hear punching and smacking sounds from inside the portal, with your Rabbid screaming. Your Rabbid is most likely getting beat up in there.
  • Whenever you trigger a present, the first thing that will happen is your Rabbid will get flattened by it.
  • Once you finish the board game, the loser Rabbid will run around screaming only to get disintegrated by a laser gun. Luckily, he regenerates after being zapped, but it doesn't make it any less humorous.
• The game also includes several shortclips entitled "Rabbids Can't" as unlockable bonuses, all of which feature Rabbids attempting to perform simple everyday tasks. Hilarity Ensues...

Viral Videos / Trailers

• One of the very first teasers for Rayman Raving Rabbids features Rayman's creator, Michel Ancel doing a seemingly normal live interview for E3. What he doesn't notice, however, is that there are Rabbids walking behind him in the background. Near the end of the supposed interview, the Rabbids let out their war cry and attack Ancel. View the hilarious teaser for yourself Here.
• The Rabbids invading Nick. All. Three. Videos.

• The Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Launch Trailer is both hilarious and kind of heartwarming in its own way. After countless videos of the Rabbids beating humans up, it's nice to have one trailer where the Rabbids are being nicer to them and are genuinely having fun with them as a family.
  • When a refrigerator drops on the Rabbid, it opens the top door and comes out, and then opens the other one to reveal another Rabbid, causing it to be a fourth player.
  • When the Rabbid suddenly realizes that he is wearing a different outfit, as the screen cuts back from the screen of the customization, the Rabbid angrily stomps towards the Rabbid changing the outfits, with another outfit appearing as it is selected.

• Ubisoft also released six short backstage videos, two of which were never released on the official Ubisoft or Rabbids channels, each one introducing the characters you'll see in the game.

Other/General

• Just the Rabbids themselves, with their dumb stares and their lack of common sense for anything they do. Also, every single little noise they make including the infamous "BWAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" scream.
• Pretty much any time The Rabbids beat the crap out of a human.
• Rabbids invading Just Dance 2. The teaser shows a Rabbid dressed as a gangster singing to the tune of Here Comes the Hotstepper.
  • Then there's the gameplay itself. You have to dance to the beat of the farmer silhouette while a Rabbid appears and tries to dance with him. The farmer occasionally tries to get it to leave, but is unsuccessful. Every time the Rabbid comes back, he does something different, one time he'll even hide behind a sign with a chicken painted on. The farmer accidentally kicks the Rabbid into the air, and when the farmer looks like he's going to catch him when he's falling, he instead lets him fall on the ground, leaving the Rabbid's Impact Silhouette on the ground. Then the front of the barn falls down showing hundreds of rabbids inside.
• The comic strips and gags drawn by French artist Romain Pujol and written by Thitaume are comedy gold. A number of fans have stated that the comics have proven to be funnier than the recent games the Rabbids have made. One of them has the Rabbids playing with a leaf blower under a vent, revealing they raised Marilyn Monroe's skirt◊, and another one has a Rabbid running a marathon, but then realizing that the finish line he crossed was actually a police line covering a crime scene (WITH A MURDER LINE AND EVERYTHING). Just look◊ at it.
  • The comics have a lot of parodies and pop culture references. Among the funniest ones is one where a Rabbid dressed as Superman tries to rescue a kitten from a tree◊. They've also parodied James Bond◊, Lost◊, El Zorro◊ and The Walking Dead◊
  • The fourth wall jokes are probably the most ingenious gags in the books. Take◊ a◊ look◊ for◊ yourself◊
• This short animation featuring the Rabbid Brass Band from Rabbids Go Home.
• These animation tests done for an augmented reality event in Paris.
• There are two rare promos that are strangely funny. One of them being a back to school commercial and the other being a hockey short.
