From the mind of Dav Pilkey, the man who brought you ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'', comes ''The Dumb Bunnies'', a children's book series about a family of astoundingly moronic, pink-furred rabbits who wear nothing but underwear.
In every book, Papa Bunny, Mama Bunny, and Baby Bunny would engage in some kind of everyday activity, like going to the beach or celebrating the holidays together. But because of their stupidity and eccentricity, they would always do things in the opposite manner (like sleeping under the bed or wearing winter clothes in the summer) or misunderstand how something functioned (like literally watching a football on a TV or mistaking a revolving door for a carnival ride). And yet despite all the silliness they got themselves into, they always came out with the same goofy smiles and cheery dispositions as before.
