Added DiffLines:

* WildWestArmadillo: Downplayed. Arnold the armadillo has nightmares about being hit by a truck on a road somewhere in the west (it's sandy, with cacti along the road.) Later, a news anchor mentions that "last year, over 10,000 armadillos were run over by trucks in the state of Texas alone."

As expected, the series (had it ever gotten past the {{pilot}} stage) would have been managed and created by Creator/{{DiC}}, well-known for their numerous cartoon adaptations of popular video games in the 80's and 90's.

* TheWoobie: Arnold, dear god, the one character that hates Bubsy, thus making him relatable, spends the entire episode being the subject of all the slapstick in the form of being tortured by Bubsy's little demon niece and nephew, crashing through a roof, getting beaten over the head and getting electrocuted. He apparently suffers from some sort of post-traumatic stress due to raging murderous semis who are genocidally killing his race and none of the punishment he receives is warranted to any degree. He deserves absolutely none of it and it makes the show almost cringeworthy to watch this poor character go through such a mess.

It mostly uses the same characters as the game, with a few new ones to take the roles of the villains. The pilot revolves around [[PunnyName Virgil Reality]] inventing a virtual reality helmet that allows one to imagine ''anything'' into life. [[FridgeLogic The possibilities about this]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot are never explored.]]

The pilot was never picked up, but it remains an... ''[[BileFascination interesting]]'' cartoon nonetheless.
