The episode deals with FantasticRacism, as white Rabbids discriminate against blue ones, but eventually reconclie.[[/note]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Many initially criticized the show for not having any real plot or characters. Season 2 introduced several recurring characters (Both Rabbids ''and'' humans), while Season 4 began to incorporate more story-driven episodes, and even began to develop a few of the aforementioned humans.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
** When the show first premiered, a lot of fans were not happy with the fact that the overall feel of the show, as well as the personalities of the Rabbids themselves, were noticeably less DenserAndWackier compared to that of the video games. However, as the show progressed, opinions of this changed. See GrowingTheBeard.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Otto Torx, the BigBad of Season 4 ''rarely'' redirects his focus towards fighting the Rabbids, despite them constantly destroying his lair and thwarting his plans. Instead, most of the episodes featuring him often involve generic villain tropes and BondVillainStupidity. This is especially jarring considering the Special Unit is entirely focused on hunting down the submarine, which would have given Torx the opportunity to use the Rabbids to gain the recognition he desired.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Season 3's overall time travel theme could have been used to travel to different historical periods and locations,similar to that of Raving Rabbids Travel in Time. Sadly, the time traveling TV is only used to visit ''two'' new locations (pre-history and the Arctic, and occasionally medieval times). Any other historic location is only shown from one angle and for very brief moments.

Are some of them brighter than the rest? Or are they just bored and like to [[ChaoticStupid do stupid things for fun]]? Whatever reason it is, they're a bit ''too'' complex to label.

While I see what you're saying here, it doesn't fit the meaning. It has to be sexual in nature for it to qualify as innuendo, which this is decidedly not. I don't know if there is a better trope for it either, as any of the ones I can think of like Unfortunate Implications are Flame Bait


* AccidentalInnuendo: "The whites will win."[[note]]To put into context, in one of the experiment episodes with the blue Rabbid, the two scientists color four of the Rabbids blue, prompting a "racism" dance battle between the parties of the blue ones and the normal ones, who are white. The two scientists are betting on which group will win, to which this line is spoken. Put out of context, however, and it sounds horribly wrong.[[/note]]

* HoYay: No, not even the ''Rabbids'' are immune to this trope. And it's often in the context of one Rabbid wearing a blonde female wig. [[AmbiguousGender However, this is assuming that all Rabbids are male.]] In ''Music Rabbid'', a soft song comes on, and the wig-wearing Rabbid winks at another Rabbid, seductively dances towards him, and then they begin to dance like a couple (until they get interrupted, anyway). In ''Get in Line, Rabbids!'', a Rabbid accidentally wears the same wig and another Rabbid instantly falls for "her", cue him chasing "her" around and trying to kiss "her". To be fair, the pursuer thought that he was female and the wig-wearing Rabbid was disgusted at him. However, the former example is ''definitely'' straight.
** One gag in ''Dream on Rabbids'' has one of the Rabbids putting on a wig and female undergarments, and then winking at another Rabbid as "she" passes by seductively. The Rabbid watching on waves to "her" in a trance before getting a hold of himself.
** The gag of one Rabbid accidentally wearing a wig/growing hair and the other Rabbids falling for "her" is used frequently, like in ''The Rabbid who fell to Earth'' and ''Vampire Rabbid''. The Rabbid usually never reciprocates, though the ending of ''Vampire Rabbid'' seemed to imply otherwise...(it ''is'' possible that they just became good friends, but they seemed a bit too touchy for that).
** There's a short moment in ''Rabbid Star'' where a fan of another Rabbid attempts to kiss him. Note that ''none'' of them are wearing wigs to have the other tricked. However, a Rabbid who does have a wig in the same episode ([[AmbiguousGender or maybe not]]), seemed to get mad/jealous and wrestled the fan Rabbid down, prompting to become the star Rabbid's bodyguard, and then he attempts to kiss "her" through his helmet.
** "The Princess Rabbid" from season 4 once again has a male rabbid mistaken for a female after putting on a dress and another male pursuing him, with the former rejecting the latter's advances. In the end however, after dealing with two bully rabbids, the two end up romantically dancing together.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Season 3 gave the Rabbids' smart ancestor, Lapinibernatus the title of AscendedExtra and many episodes were focused on him trying to get back to his original time period, which remains a mystery to many fans. There were possibilities to see other types of Rabbids and explore different worlds, but unfortunately this never came to be as the Rabbids always ended up destroying Lapinibernatus' time machine by the end of the episode, keeping him from leaving.
** The episode "Being Rabbids Part 3" had Gina, a scientist trapped inside a Rabbid's body actually ''bond'' with Lapinibernatus, almost romantically. The climax of the episode even hinted the idea of Lapinibernatus and Gina both becoming human and escaping together in his time machine, unfortunately, Gina's assistant John whisks her away before they could even finish their conversation, and by the end of the episode, she's already transformed back into her human form and no future episodes bring up this storyline again.

Added DiffLines:

** The season's synopsis as well as its first episode imply that the Rabbids will use the submarine to travel all over the globe (similar to Rayman Raving Rabbids 2). Sadly, with the exception of a farm and tropical island no other locations outside of the already pre-rendered city and artic locations are ever explored. The second episode even shows the Rabbids arriving to what appears to be Paris, but the top of the Eiffel Tower is the ''only'' thing shown.

** Season 4 introduced a genuinely engaging setup for a season-long StoryArc involving Zak and Zoey helping three Rabbids hunt down their flying submarine, while being on the run from The Special Unit. As well as a BigBad for the season, Otto Torx. While the adventures of Zak, Torx and the Rabbids are compelling and entertaining individually, they hardly connect with each other, if at all, and both conflicts are resolved pretty easily by the end of the season.
** The reveal of [[spoiler: Lapinibernatus being the creator of the flying submarine]] could have been used to provide a deeper insight about the Rabbids's origins. Sadly, this is never expanded upon.
** In addition to the above example, the true purpose of [[spoiler: the flying submarine, and the Secur-X robot]] are never fully explained.
