"Only one will last to become the Toon Marooned!"
"Outcast. Outclassed. Out to lunch."
— Tagline
Toon Marooned is a webtoon series from Looney Tunes that stars Bugs Bunny as the host of a Survivor contest for nine Looney Tunes to win $100 at Festeroon.
Contains examples of:
- Batman Gambit: Daffy's Secret Alliance comes down to this: vote off the other toons until the four of them are the only ones left. Daffy himself intended to double-cross his allies once it was said and done.
- Beach Episode: Like the series that inspired it, it is more of a Beach Series.
- Butt-Monkey: Daffy and Sylvester are this in every episode where they have essential roles (in Daffy's case, it's every single episode)! Elmer is also this in his last two episodes, the latter of which has him Voted Off the Island.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Daffy tries to cheat his way into victory, but loses altogether. The one challenge he does win (by cheating of course) is something of a Pyrrhic Victory as dynamite is blown up in his face, and he has to take an Anvil on Head to win immunity.
- Dark Horse Victory: Tweety won against Daffy and Sylvester in the penultimate cartoon, and then wins the competition altogether in the final episode.
- Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Daffy's action of removing the idol from its stand in the final episode earns him the wrath of Festeroon's Volcano God.Bugs: (to Daffy) I said, "touch the idol", Daffy, not "move it"!
- Distracted by the Sexy: Taz manages to catch the rat by dressing his finger as a sexy female rat and charming the rat with it. The rat manages to escape thanks to Bugs, but Taz still gets immunity from catching him.
- Eat That: In the fourth episode, the toons' immunity challenge had them catch and eat their own food. Specifically, they must capture a rat, bring him back, and eat him between two pieces of bread. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Taz wins, although Bugs’s congratulations afterward enable the rat to escape and Taz settles for a rock sandwich instead.
- Elimination Catchphrase: "The toons have spoken."
- Exact Words: In the last episode, Bugs specifically tells the finalists that whoever "touches" the idol at the top of the volcano wins. Daffy, in his crazed state after suffering numerous Amusing Injuries in his quest up the volcano, grabs the idol and moves it while declaring himself the winner. This bites him immediately when Bugs repeats what he said, since moving the idol accidentally awoke the Volcano God, and earned Daffy his wrath.
- Hated by All: Foghorn got booted out in a unanimous vote by the third episode because he unthinkingly destroyed at least two emergency shelters, gave unwelcome advice to Daffy after a lightning bolt destroyed his shelter, and insulted Taz while the latter was having a hard time creating a satisfactory shelter.
- Mosquito Miscreants: There's a reason why Festeroon is the Malaria capital of the world.
- Pixellation: While Daffy prefers to go au natural, you see him with some of his feathers pixellated.
- Shout-Out:
- In "Oh My Darlin' Serpentine", Sylvester gets his cowboy gear and says "Let's head them off at the pass!"
- In "Oh My Darlin' Serpentine", Tweety is riding an anaconda and says "Hi-ho, Silver!"
- In "Fowl Be Coming Around The Mountain", Sylvester is seen talking to David Letterman.
- Early into the series Daffy states they should've parodied Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
- "Obstacles, Of Course" contains one to Rabbit Fire. When Daffy is about to eat the insect grub, a much larger one suddenly appears behind him and threatens him with the "You do and I'll give you such a pinch!" line from that short.
- Sore Loser: Most of the losers are this, especially Foghorn and Daffy.
- State The Simple Solution: In the penultimate episode, after Bugs Bunny foils Sylvester’s latest attempt to eat Tweety, the cat suggests to Daffy they vote out Bugs. Daffy points out one caveat to that suggestion — Bugs is the show's host.
- Trap Master: Bugs Bunny set up an obstacle course that has a piranha-infested stream, hot springs, a bunch of food at the Wheel of Exotic Cuisine and an invisible minefield near the finish line.
- Verbal Backspace: In the third episode, Bugs Bunny has jun-building materials for the toons to set up as emergency shelters.
- Visual Pun: In the eighth episode where Daffy is encountered by snakes in a cave, one of them has dice for eyes.
- There Can Be Only One: The game ends when all but one contestant are eliminated.
- The Voiceless: Elmer Fudd doesn't talk at all throughout the series. Taken further where every character except Bugs in "Speared, Seared and Feared" doesn't talk.
- Voted Off the Island: It's a parody of the Trope Namer, so, of course, this happens.
- We ARE Struggling Together: Daffy's Secret Alliance.
- Goes up a notch in the sandcastle challenge. Daffy and Sam are paired together, and because Sam has begun to question Daffy’s leadership, they naturally fail. Sylvester is paired with Tweety and while his effort to eat Tweety instead of working with him initially creates a great castle, he runs into it and destroys it. Elmer and Taz win by default.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The finale showcases what the eliminated contestants are doing with their lives.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Daffy's plan for his secret alliance. Reduce the cast to just himself, Sylvester, Elmer, and Sam, then get rid of the latter three. Sam ends up outliving his own much earlier and is betrayed by the other alliance members once he begins to question Daffy's authority.
