Whiplash is a 2003 platforming game for the PS2. [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs You play a genetically altered weasel and rabbit]] [[ChainedHeat handcuffed together]] and trying to escape an animal testing facility. You directly control Spanx (the weasel) while Redmond (the rabbit) is dragged along and used as bludgeon.

After breaking out of containment, Spanx and Redmond follow the advice of a mysterious voice in the computer system to try and escape from [[BlandNameProduct Genron]] while freeing other test animals from cartoonishly cruel experiments. A running secondary goal of the game is too smash stuff. There's actually a running counter at the bottom of the screen showing how much money the company has, and a little is deducted for every fire extinguisher you break. The platforming is relatively generic, but much of the fun of the game comes from the simple fact you're destroying a large corporation by bashing it with a rabbit.

!!Featured Tropes:
* AmusingInjuries: Poor Redmond.
* BlandNameProduct: The Genron Corporation.
* CartoonCreature: Spanx is officially a long-tailed weasel, but is mostly a ''thing''. Redmond speculates wildly on what he is.
--> "You're a bad, BAD weasel...Or whatever you are."
* ChainedHeat: The basic premise.
* DeadpanSnarker: Redmond makes up for his helplessness by lampshading everything he can.
* DieChairDie: With a vengeance.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Spanx first appeared (sans Redmond) in a foot-racing game for the Xbox launch called ''Mad Dash Racing''.
* EpicFlail: How Spanx uses Redmond.
* EverythingsBetterWithBunnies: Including wrecking balls, apparently.
* GameBreakingBug: In a demo of the game, there is a nasty glitch present that makes it literally impossible to complete.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Poor Redmond.
* HeroicMime: Spanx never speaks due to his brain being long-fried by electricity.
* IronButtmonkey: Poor Redmond.
--> "Could you please stop breaking things with my face?!"
--> "You have a plan that DIDN'T involve using me as a war mace?"
--> "I don't suppose you'd stop if I told you how painful this was?...Didn't think so."
* MadeOfIron: Redmond has been modified to be indestructible. Feel free to beat security guards over the head with him and jam him in gears to stop them.
** [[IronButtmonkey Or set him on fire, or dunk him in toxic waste...]]
* MadScientist: Tons, usually tormenting chimps in humorous ways until you show up.
* MegaCorp: Genron
* RewardingVandalism: It's the secondary goal of the game to rack up the debt.
* UnstoppableRage: By hitting things/people enough, Redmond goes berserk and automatically sics himself on anything nearby.
