Added DiffLines:

* PredatorsAreMean: The villain of ''Funny Bunnies'' is Wicked Wolf, a criminal predator; albeit their crimes are implied to be more human in nature, rather than actually feeding on anybody.


Added DiffLines:

* SpeciesLastName: Everybody. Real life names like Brenda Bear and Rachel Rabbit are indistinguishable from fictional names or stage names, like Cowboy Cat and Groovy Gopher.

* TheWikiRule: An InUniverse example - apparently, despite being aimed at 5-to-8-year-olds, the show "Funny Bunnies" has its own wiki, presumably on the stories' universe's equivalent of Fandom or Miraheze, as evidenced by Brenda thinking to herself "[[TakeThat There are actually animalfolk who catalogue this crap on a wiki?!]]". In fact, she's browsing it to get an idea of what had already been done and what a typical plot looked like to get an idea for an episode, which she would then share with Jack and Riley.

* SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon: Brenda mentions "Rory and the Rodents" was one of these, pointing out how it aired for this length with no controversy despite being based on a band that made music clearly for more mature listeners.



* YouTubeKidsChannel: Alluded to in passing by Curtis in "The Scandal?" as "one of those highly inappropriate videos being made overseas that's illegally using our network's content among others".

* ContractualPurity: It's implied Curtis is locked into something like this in-universe, since non-child-friendly music he made years ago has come to parents' attention. [[spoiler:The videos are allowed to remain up on the Internet and he keeps his job, but not before educating children on the difference between children's media and media for adults, and, to him, losing whatever was left of his dignity.]]



* MamaBear: In the lost episode of Otter Delight, which was briefly removed from the website until it returned as bonus content, Otter's father warns him of this trope when he brings home a nest of falcon eggs. [[spoiler:The mother falcon, upon finding Otter with her nest, almost attacks him until she realizes she can't violate BS&P - though she does warn him that she would be much less merciful towards him if he ever did anything like that with her nest again.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MerchandiseDriven: Several in-universe examples:
** The orientation video in "New Employee Training", clearly from TheEighties, tells incoming employees to make sure the programs are marketable to toy companies.
** A ProductPromotionParade at the end of an episode of "Rory and the Rodents" shilling action figures based on the show.
** This line from "Sarcasm Bunny's Blunder":
--->'''Silly Bunny:''' NOOOOO! You can't go! How else are we going to sell toys... I mean, fight evil?
** Brenda mentions in "The Scandal?" that "Rory and the Rodents" was made with the sole purpose of hawking merchandise.[[labelnote:Context]]She was using the music of The Rodents as a comparison to the song Curtis's band played, making the point that Rory had a kids' show back in TheEighties despite performing music that's no more appropriate for children.[[/labelnote]]
