** Similar to Looney Tunes, there are effectively two (both very loose) continuities and two versions of each character (although they are mostly identical in personality, they differ in history.) There is the "actor" and the "character." So the Buster Bunny "actor" was drawn on paper, found Montana Max, and then helped get the show greenlit. He has no parents, unless you count his artist. Then there's the "character" Buster, who has parents, and has the backstory of growing up poor with Montana Max. Even these lines are blurry though, since they're going to a school on how to be a cartoon character. The "actor" and "character" difference most commonly comes into play when you have scenes where Buster breaks character, like complaining about his pay in the middle of a story about being a high school student.

** The continuity is kept deliberately loose because this show is a SpiritualSuccessor to the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts, which had ''no'' continuity. This means that the characters can have as many different pasts as they want, and what's canon to one episode isn't canon to another. If you really want a hard answer: Remember how in "A Looney Beginning," the characters were shown creating the show and writing the scripts? Not to mention, in the "Animaniacs" episode, where the characters are making their own cartoons, there is a "Citizen Max" poster on the wall in the animation room. Hence, the episode "Citizen Max" is essentially a story written and performed by the characters themselves, as an AffectionateParody of Film/CitizenKane, possibly as one of their student projects.

** To be fair this is carried over from the original Looney Tunes. In general it's best to assume they are actors "actors" playing "characters" who have the same names and personalities, etc. So just treat them as the characters and be prepared for the "actors" to break script from time to time.

** It's a bit of non-sequitur humor. Basically the joke is just that here's this random character that keeps showing up and not even the cartoons know why he's there. Non-sequitur comedy is always hit-and-miss. Some people will find it funny and others won't "get" it. So no harm being in either group.

* This troper might be humor impaired but what was the deal with the running gag "Ralph? Who's Ralph?" That keeps appearing in the series (particularly "The Name Game" and "The Buster Bunny Bunch") And mind you this is not the same Ralph that eventually became Ralph the Guard from Animaniacs but somewhat of a caricature of rude cartoonist Ralph Bakshi even though this Ralph looks a little too much like the Nasty Canasta from the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Barbary Coast Bunny"

* What's with the continuity in this show? In "The Loony Beginning", Buster and Babs are being drawn on paper. How the heck do they have parents if they were created by a human artist? Also in the same episode, Montana Max is already a villain when he first meets Buster and Babs. According to a flashback in "Citizen Max", Monty and Busters were once good friends before he was corrupted by money.

* In the episode "When You're Hot," why does Buster use a highly flammable wooden ladder, and even stranger, a ighly flammable ''hose'' to try to deal with the flame? I believe this joke was also used in ''Looney Tunes'', where it makes just as little sense as metal ladders were around back then, and hoses were made from (not flammable) rubber.

** The LooneyTunes being actors filming cartoons is canon in those cartoons. It is done explicitly in the short ''A Star Is Bored'' where Daffy in a rabbit costume is used as Bugs' stunt double. In one scene Bugs makes fun of Yosemite Sam, the director yells cut, Bugs and Daffy are swapped, and finally Sam shoots Daffy in the face. In another scene Bugs and Elmer are sitting on a tree branch and Bugs gives Elmer a friendly reminder to not cut all the way through the branch. In all cases, until the director yells action they just act casually like coworkers.
