* BigEater: Cookie, who casually and effortlessly consumes a bag of popcorn twice her size in a few minutes despite being played by the petite Kimberly Foster. Clearly, she has an insatiable appetite. What's worse is, it's implied that she ate more than one huge bag of popcorn, but 5! So yeah, she ate at least 500 pounds of popcorn, and it's implied that she's still hungry!

* GoingPostal: The opening animated sequence has the rhino being so distraught (and then enraged) by the bunnies' bullying that he pulls out a machine gun from a case (which has travel stickers from Beirut) and shooting them all dead. Hoops pauses the sequence and says that he's got too much dark crap in his brain to keep working on the project at the moment. Becomes a BrickJoke when the final animated sequence shows the rhino got a pretty happy ending, with a girlfriend and all... but is still angry enough at the bunnies that ''tossing a hand grenade'' at them is lighthearted LaserGuidedKarma.
