I use to watch the show when i was younger, and believe it or not it had a weird unnerving overarching plot about how conspiracy theorists and scientists think that the rabbids are aliens from outerspace, which turned out to be true. There was also a mini-arc where the rabbids wanted to go to the moon, and another where they manage to invent time-travel. If i'm being honest as a kid the show freaked me out because originally when i saw the first few episodes and there was no plot and then it slowly built up into something much more weird and i was unsettled by that.
I used to watch the show too, im kinda scared of them now know that they are not only can they not be destroyed or killed, but how they have achieved all of the stuff you've listed down
@MageBurger kind of experienting it. Basically they painted some of them blue and so they were rejected by those who stayed white. At the end,theire is one who's half blue,half white and takes a white rabbid's hand and make him hold a blue's one hand. And suddenly,they were friends. But i didn't watch that episode recently so i'm telling what i can remember.
I actually thought it was pretty wholesome that by the end, the Mushroom Kingdom had accepted the Rabbids despite their flaws. Kinda sad that they were abused and ridiculed in their own world yet were able to find acceptance in another.
@@thelonemask Yeah, Rayman's world isn't as nice as it seems on the surface. There's a lot of malevolent elements in the setting, and their god is one negative thought away from destroying the world by accident
Mario + rabbis was an incredibly well developed game. After a little while you get over Mario with a gun, and the fact your running around with rabbids in a Mario game and the true beauty comes out.
I think that the rabbids have a positive factor that makes them actually good characters. It's not the tipical "look they are dumb and troublesome, isn't it cute?", but "look they are dumb and troublesome, they are a fucking threat and dangerous on any posible situation". It's a small difference, but it actually uses the fact that they are annoying in the characters favour. Instead of using THEM as a joke it uses the chaos they create.
As a kid I really liked the rabbids to the moon game, and the sheer amount of chaos and noise these dudes can make... They are annoying, but dear god there is a charm in these little nukes.
Even as a late teen there’s just something about the rabbits which makes me want to rewatch the episodes I find it kinda amusing plus it has got lots of nostalgia attached to it.
That HAS to be a typo. You would've been 4 or MAYBE 5 when the last Rabbids game released (save for Mario and Rabbids, which would've made you around 9 or 10 years old.) That either means you had hand-me-down systems with Rabbids games on them (not too unlikely, but still a little odd considering the cheapness of the 2DS and used game systems being a good kid-friendly gifts), were interested in topics/IPs/entertainment/media from before your time (something I can respect but also isn't inherently super likely), or Mario and Rabbids (the game, not the Rabbids franchise) was really important to your childhood (again, not impossible but it seems like a game that would be off kilter for kids, not to mention the many more impactful Switch games that are way more likely to be a child's "childhood").
Reruns and games stay on the shelfs for a lot , this person has experienced a lot of Rabbids through their life and at 14 they are teenager which feels a lot different than being a just a child
The reveal at E3 2017 actually went over really, really well. Go ahead and look up some of the reaction videos for the time. When the word is the game leaked, people hated it. But when the official announcement came around? People were… actually impressed.
I remember watching Rabbids Invasion RELIGIOUSLY, because I wasn’t even bothered to play the Rabbids games; I just wanted to see what they were like. And to my eyes, they were slightly entertaining, and not as toxic as the Minions. Given that they’re less toxic, I used them as an escape from the toxicity of the Minions, which got on my nerves A LOT.
Peppa Puff his RU-vid channel was about who he really was. The movies were Nick’s idea for him to act that way. Some of it is actually his personality but majority of it wasn’t.
I feel like the reason why I loved these things and (some of) their adventures growing up was that it felt a lot like a combination of a child imagining random, fun scenarios and what they'd actually be doing in the real world to mimic it. Like a bunch of children getting together and going wildly out of control, with no adults being able to stop them. It's why I loved playing Rabbids Go Home so much. It's like if you just went "Hey, I wanna go to the moon! How do I do that? OH! Let's build a tower!" and then gathered up all the other kids in your neighborhood and all other neighborhoods and proceeded to steal and cause havoc at your leisure in order to fulfill this one simple goal. I'm really disappointed that the show almost never recaptured this feeling, and instead just leaned further into 'lol, random' territory. Still *WAY* better than the Minions tho. Design, personality, not resembling a shade of dog vomit, everything.
I just like the Rabbids when they don’t constantly do “Poop Jokes”. Other than that, I like them because it is refreshing to actually see games and a show where the characters are not along the lines of Nice and Mean. Them being annoying is fresh because they aren’t nice nor mean, they just do random ass stuff. And in the shows it’s especially refreshing since they do receive karma for their annoyance!
@@justanotherchannelwithauno7580 I do tbh. I find chaotic good characters to have the potential of being annoying, and neutral evil characters to be uninteresting. I don't see many issies with a chaotic neutral character tbh
I think the Rabbids are more interesting than the Minions, from their design to their personalities. The minions were only created to make jokes and move the plot of a movie, the Rabbids however have much more substance and history to them. I find the fact that they were planned to be 'villains' really interesting and they still hold that chaotic neutral personality today, I am also guilty of finding them genuinely funny sometimes.
I’m one of those people who actually enjoyed the rabbits TV show as a kid. I liked it because it was stupid and weird which little stupid me at the time thought was hilarious. I remember it vividly.
I love the Rabbids in the first game cause they had a more eerie, intimidating, sadistic vibe since they were actually treated as antagonists. Like I feel they could’ve killed a human in that game. But every other game that came out since and that stupid TV series made them act more child friendly, obnoxious, and annoying, hence why so many people just see them as minions.
I genuinely love the vibe of the original Rayman Raving Rabbids, I feel like it had so much potential and I love how the Rabbids are portrayed as Stupid but deep down they knew what they were doing and they were terrifying
It's ironic that the Mario+Rabbids crossover turned out so well. Everyone was so certain it was going to flop, but it's stood out as one of the better Mario spin-offs. As for the Rabbis t.v. show, I think it's fine from what little I watched. But even I wouldn't have given it three seasons of more than a hundred episodes. The Rabbids' gimmick really doesn't seem like the sort of thing you can make multiple seasons out of.
I agree. As someone who watched the Tv show during his teens, i've been slightly disappointed by how the behavior of the Rabbids was changed, for example by enhancing their ability to communicate between eachother, making them stupid and kind of breaking their character. Also i think the rabbid spirit has degraded over the course of the seasons, by giving too much attention to human characters or recurring rabbids, despite one of their shtick being that they all look and act the same. But we have to keep in mind that this is a kids show, where we have to keep things simple...
In my opinion, the TV show didn't do the Rabbids justice, and I feel like its failure was one of the reasons why we don't see any more Rabbids games. Sad, since RRR2 and Rabbids Go Home are two of my most favorite games (thanks to nostalgia and mostly just how fun they are) and it doesn't seem like we'll ever get a fourth Rayman Raving Rabbids or a second Rabbids Go Home. I also feel like the minions helped killed the rabbids, those stupid yellow beans replaced the sometimes funny white insane rabbits.
I watched the rabbids show a little as a kid simply because it was on and I had a couple wii games about them. There were a couple episodes where the plot is a scientist trying to study a rabbid and slowly going insane. So that was funny
I don’t care if people don’t like rabbids, I just love the guys and watching the show even as a teenager it’s still amusing to watch something I did on tv all the time when I was younger.
i gotta say, that VR experience at the arcade was genuinely enjoyable. while i do find them annoying, i do have a soft spot for them because of some great childhood memories playing raving rabbids on the wii.
I like to think that the rabbids are actually slowly building up this plot line than the rabbids will eventually connect all video universes using their new dimensional-time-traveling washing machine. It was introduced in Rabbids In Time, where the rabbids were sucked in and sent through random events throughout history. Eventually, one of those locations happened to be the girls room at the beginning of the Mario+Rabbids crossover. Using the technology the girl invented and the Mario related material, it upgraded the washing machine to hop through dimensions. It’s currently only in the Mario universe, but this could mean they might find ways to infiltrate other universes.
fun fact: it's canon that the rabbids are pretty much indestructible. so if there was a group of rabbids that had the desire to cause harm to other species we'd be doomed :)
i actually like some of the Rabbids games: Rabbids Go Home was really funny and surprisingly made statements on consumerist society, Mario + Rabbids is a really good XCOM-like game, and Rayman Raving Rabbids is a good party game.
Rayman: The Animated Series (also known as Rayman: The TV Series, or just Rayman) is a French-British-Canadian series of animated short films created by Ubisoft in 1999, based on the Rayman video game series, following the success of Rayman 2: The Great Escape.
theyre also slightly more adult than the minions could ever be edit: not "could", "would". You can find early clips of the Rabbits, and some of the skits are quite....adult minded
I’ll forever love the Rabbids Go Home game on the Wii. I always find myself playing through the game again every 2 years or so. Definitely my favorite underrated game.
I think a quote from Spider-Man 3 pretty much sums up The Rabbids: “I didn’t choose to be this” Looking at the old version of the game and even the GBA release, it is pretty clear that they weren’t meant to be cute, but rather scary and threatening. But then Ubisoft saw them as a marketing opportunity, and started changing them into what they are today. They weren’t meant to be marketing figures, but that’s what they have become. What’s most sad is that they were completely separated from a Rayman. So if Ubisoft ever decides to make Rayman 4, it will most likely not include them. Many are probably happy about that, but I am not. The Rabbids were meant to be the main antagonist of Rayman 4, not a pest in the gaming industry.
And them, one of the best gaming mascots, Rayman, died. The things took over the franchise, Rayman after Legends is basically dead. I really want Rayman 4 to be a thing
Raving Rabbids gave me nightmares as a kid, so seeing them portrayed as just silly wacky rabbits is seriously unnerving lmao. Does Ubisoft not remember that one level where they made the rabbids into horror game monsters and it made sense for their character?
Throwing my own hat into the ring, I wouldn’t mind if a revived Rayman 4 had the Rabbids set up to be antagonists but reveal that they were working to stop another threat in their own wacky little way similar to a twist in Kirby’s Adventure. It lets them act as the antagonists they were originally intended to be while keeping them marketable. Plus it would be a huge shock to both the characters and the audience if the rascals who gave Rayman trouble before were actually trying to do the right thing for once, even if it was through stupid means.
Although M+R did get a negative reaction, it slowly became beloved the more it got shown. IMO it’s the ultimate “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” crossover.
This is so weird to look back on after playing Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. They haven't gotten rid of the "minion" style but it's been drastically reduced to background jokes, they actually have OC's now with their own personalities and voice acting it's crazy. It even seems like they're using less of the Super Mario IP and making more of their own thing that's different from any previous Rabbid installment. With the world building using sci-fi instead of fantasy it feels more like a Rayman game than anything they've done before with Rabbids in it, and with Rayman coming in a future dlc I can finally stop looking at Rabbids as the thing that killed Rayman. Despite the popularity of the Minions for some ungodly reason Im glad they decided to take the Rabbids in a different direction, things are looking promising for the Rabbids and hopefully Rayman in the future.
They made a dlc about rayman, and we got a new more mature rayman in an animated series, i also saw one action figure of rayman popping out, i think rayman is coming back for good this time..
I want to jump off a valcano into shark infested waters have acid poured on me, eat 15 nasty patties get round-house kicked by Chuck Norris, get pecked by dinosaur goose that shoot lasers out of their eyes, shoot soap into my eyes for 16 years, and finally die a painful death on an electric chair with 1 billion voltage.
I like the rabbids and I know that’s a bit ironic but ever since Mario and Rabbids, they grew on me. And in fact, I’m confident enough in my opinion to say I wouldn’t mind them in smash as a character, although the mii costume works fine.
I loved Rabbids growing up, as I've always had a fondness for slapstick but I had a fondness for lore and plot even more... You can imagine how much I wanted to see The Rabbids get to The Moon.
I still kinda refer the rabbids than the Minions tbh at least they had a pretty good crossover game with Mario, had an interesting origin story, tied in with the Rayman series and where rabbit things, instead of, weird glowstick people or whatever the Minions are supposed to be
Despite everything, I have to thank these little monsters for helping me getting through high-school. I played Rayman Raving Rabbids 1/2 with my brother and Rabbids Go Home when I was depressed (aka all the time) and cannot forget about Rabbids Travel In Time, who unironically teached me more about history than my old books ever did, making me top of the class at the time. They might be annoying and loud assholes, but they are my annoying and loud assholes.
MINION MENSTRUAL PADS? I should get them. I'm not a girl, I just want to be able to say "Hey everyone, I actually spent money on minion menstrual pads!" Unironicly. I could worry so many people!
When I was watching Rabbids Invasion I felt that there was this..."plot" that seemed to dip in and out of episodes. What most intrigued me were episodes that dealt with the Rabbids and the Moon and the specials which lasted 2 episodes. The moon saga was intriguing to me as a child because the Rabbids who were usually dumb little creatures united to accomplish a common goal. The specials were intriguing cause they had a plot that lasted for well...more than one episode. My favorite was the one where the Rabbids got superpowers
To be honest, I prefer the rabbids more. At least they're trying to do something meaning rather than just singing and dancing. They also barely strayed from they origins, attempting to take over the world, yet failing. They also have a good story; being bullied and their leader seeking revenge by taking over the world, failing a few times before succeeding, but then the leader was either killed or arrested, leaving the rabbids to wander the earth aimlessly until they decided to live on the moon. I like them more because they seem more active and chaotic than the minions.
I honestly remember watching Rabbids Invasion when I was much younger. I also remember making fun if it, even when I was at a young age. I still enjoyed it though (at least from what I remember). I also rarely ever hear anyone talk about it so I often belive i dreamed it.
while i do love gir, it really sucks that he’s on literally every piece of iz merchandise. im glad they made more based on different characters after enter the florpus came out
Despite knowing both characters, I discovered that the Rabbids and Rayman were connected way after I knew the Rabbids. They just don't feel like they exist un the same universe.
I just want another Prince of Persia but Ubisoft has gotta make more AC and ghost recon I guess. And far cry. I really dont care about those series anymore :/
"If there's ever a MvC4 I'll be sure to kick your ass there too Wade"-She Hulk 2011 Us MvC fans can empathize with you Rayman about our games not getting a 4th entry
I’m being honest the rabbids show isn’t that bad season 1 was a bit eh but season 2 and 3 were enjoyable there’s even a 4th season on Netflix that’s pretty good
That my friends is what I personally call first season syndrome. I know quite a few shows that's 1st seasons are bad, mainly because they're trying to find their footing and figure out what does and doesn't work. The episodes I've seen are pretty good, not extremely good but still, pretty good, don't know what season they were from but hey.
yoshistarhunter season one was bad mainly because it focused on the funny random haha but season 4 actually decided to give the rabbids some personality and some of them there own story line
Broken disc Man that’s why I like the later seasons they gave the rabbids personality and decided to focus on the rabbids more then having the rabbids annoy humans like in season 1 they also made the rabbids a bit smarter
as a kid my parents never bought a single Nintendo console (but I brought the switch which is my first ever Nintendo console) I never heard of rabbids as a video game but rather a TV series . i watched and I didn't like it that much it was the kind of series that I would watch if I am bored . but honestly hearing about rabbids is from a video game is a shocker .
Hey, Rabbids fan here, I'm here to tell you why me and many other people like the Rabbids. First off the design of them is actually appealing, it's very simple and gives enough room to give much emotion Second off, the TV show is actually pretty good the comedy is mostly slapstick and sometimes bizarre moments which are pretty hilarious, season one is really creative I mean look what they have the Rabbids do in the first episode, the first half focused on the Rabbids discovering things and the later half focused more on them doing whatever. Season 2 is more adventure focused and introduces Mad Rabbid, a mad scientist who invents things which some episodes focus on, and animation in this season improves significantly and they introduce this character, Zak who becomes the main character in some episodes in season 4, speaking of season 4 it's honestly my favorite season introducing the flying submarine and it makes Mad the protagonist and introduces the submarine, it has great writing and only one fart joke, I recommend you give the show a watch (Season 3 is a bit depressing tbh besides a s=few episodes like Rabbid bowl part 1 and 2) And finally, it's because its a franchise where you can turn your brain off to, and no not all Rabbid fans are stupid like the IHE clip says (Which it itself sounds pretty toxic like it's basically saying people who like that are stupid) Feel free to ask other Rabbid fans because I feel like they can explain in a better way why they like the characters and the franchise a whole
As someone who grew up with the Rabbids, I think they're much different from the minions. There are a lot of good games like Rabbids go home and Mario and Rabbids kingdom battle. Plus the TV show wasn't that bad. They also had a few more shorts and graphic novels that were a bit, graphic. (Sexually, and violent)
Mario + Rabbids was actually a really great game. 😄 The gameplay was great and the humor that was used was less random then anything else with the rabbids
I actually used to play the first Rabbids game a lot as a kid and I never really saw them annoying, as much as I found them creepy. That slender unblinking four legged robot, those giant distant machines, the demon jump rope game, and the giant hairy guard rabbid. They always felt silly with a secret sinister side. Not anymore in the current games, but just the first game.
when i was younger, i actually quite enjoyed playing the Rayman Raving Rabbids games. they were fun minigame collections with personality for me. but i had never played mario party or anything at the time, so i dont know how well i would like the games today. probably not very much, as you stated how the "annoying character" being the point of a character isnt very fun. especially as an adult. Oh, also, i just wanted to say, its been really awesome watching your channel increase in quality these past couple years or however long youve been doing this. i remember when you had like, 5k subs. its awesome to see you still making great videos!
I watched the entire series, i loved it. It's a game of "hm, what will these characters do... use the empty cola can to catapult themselves to the moon... or chew it" pretty fun. But i might be biased. I love these kind of shows, where you can see their thought process without any words, but also i love space (which a lot of episodes revolve around it) and i love the crazy ways these things try to get to the moon. Like, stacking some barrels together and putting fire extinguishers one in each bottom barrel to woosh themselves off the ground? Perfect! And in the same episode, burping to a... hm what's the name? Fire balloon? The things where you use more fire to go up, less to go down, well those things. It's just funny how they have such creativity and also such stupidity. They can make a full on rocket with some spray bottles, but they don't know how to go up the stairs. It's just so amusing to see. Also, i remember one episode that it was a nerd buying a robot rabbid and sent it to a land with many othee rabbids, to see what they do on a daily basis. Can someone tell me which episode that was? I can't find it anymore.
bruh i thought the nick show was their first appearance. i knew rayman existed, but never played it, so seeing rabbids in that game seems like a weird crossover.
i personally love the rabbids, i remember watching them so much, and now days i just re-watch the newer "rabbids invasion" show, and im still not disappointed, i never knew they originated from rayman and when i saw then in one rayman i was very confused. sorry for this long, unnecessary rant/speach.
I really wish the gritty weird creepy invader Rabbids weren't dropped. I have no idea what tone they were going for but they nailed it. Also I liked Rayman 3!
imagine you're at your grandmas house and all you can watch is Tv. So you turn it on and the only kids channel is nick and its currently running rabbid. That happened to me and i forced myself to watch it. I never felt so hollow before.
Imagine you're watching a Rabbids marathon. Can't go outside because quarantine. And you can't kill yourself. Your eyes are glued to the screen, having gone mostly braindead from the utter annoyance that is right in front of you.
i'm actually in utter disbelief that the Rabbids came from Rayman. i thought they were their own IP not connected to anything else, especially after seeing that they had their own TV show and Mario crossover. and now that Mario crossover's getting a sequel. and i'm so conflicted bc the gameplay is right up my alley but i can't look at those things without crying.
This video made me realize some things about the Minions and I guess the Rabbids aswell. I kinda have a thing for characters that are very similar or follow some kind of design pattern and I don't quite understand why people sometimes say it's a lazy thing. The Smurfs for an example is a franchise that no one talks about (the only times being about the horrible movies), but I genuinely like the old cartoons and comics and it's because of this concept of identical beings having different personalities and roles (I guess the characters on the "minion trend" lack that personality variety and this is what makes the Smurfs way better). I've always got myself kinda confused when people discussed about the minions, but this video made me realize that the only thing I like in them, is the design. I mean it's simple but I do enjoy the idea of workmen clothing with those protection goggles that even remind me of something stempunk-ish. I think that if they we're handled properly they could be very nice characters, like... If they were way more serious and not silly or dumb (maybe clumsy for some comic relief but if pushed too much, this idea can ruin them again), even evil and wicked. That would be way better and maybe not so popular with the kids but... I guess that's kind of the reason why the minions are so bad. It's the fame. If the kids didn't liked them so much, there wouldn't be so many annoying merchandise. In the other hand I have no ideas for the rabbids, even their designs are quite goofy and maybe it's a personal thing, but I don't enjoy way too "organic" creature designs, the minions as mentioned have the metal goggles with little screws/nails around them that make them feel more related to machinery and work. Loved the video! Sorry for any mistakes I may have written down, english is clearly not my main language.
