''Usavich'' (from ''Usagi'', Japanese for rabbit, and ''-vich'', which is faux Russian) is a short CG-animated comedy that airs on MTV Japan. Briefly, Usavich is about two [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic rabbit]] fugitives. The first is Putin, a carefree and happy-go-lucky rabbit who always follows orders, dances a lot, is very skilled with repairing things, and panics quite often. The second is Kirenenko, an apathetic and ultra-strong rabbit who cares only about reading his shoe catalog or cleaning his shoes, and is oblivious to the fact that he lives in jail.

The comedy could best be described as adolescent. There's a bit of ToiletHumour, a lot of {{Slapstick}} (Kirenenko goes [[BerserkButton berserk]] quite often), and some surreal BlackComedy moments. Its lack of dialogue also makes it very accessible for a casual observer.
