Buster Bunny

Buster Bunny (voiced by Charlie Adler, and John Kassir) is the leader of the Tiny Toons gang on Tiny Toon Adventures, a street-smart anthropomorphic blue rabbit who had to deal with the challenges of a tough school curriculum, the machinations of former friend, present-day rich kid and local bully Montana (Monty) Max and the advances of crazed and dippy animal lover Elmyra Duff. Like Babs, he will do anything for a laugh, though he is marginally more sane and calm than his female counterpart. He does have feelings for Babs as sometimes he gets nervous around her. In the episode Thirteensomething he confesses that Babs shows of the best of him, and recieves a kiss from her at the end of the episode. Also, in the episode It's a Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special he kisses Babs as a Christmas present. He also cares about Babs by always getting concerned when she looks sad.

Family
Buster's parents, like many of the main characters on the show, have never been seen on screen. It is known that Buster does live with his parents however, because in a commercial for Tiny Toons fruit snacks, he has even been spoken with his mother on the phone, mostly as a way to tell Buster that she and his father were on their way home while he was having a party.

His Mentor
Buster has an extreme fondness for Bugs Bunny to the point of often imitating his mentor, such as using Bug's slap dance technique from Bully For Bugs in one episode (though with considerably less success), and his dance in Hot Cross Bunny at the school prom, which Bugs helps him out with to save him from getting embarrased.

Babs Bunny
Buster often nervously retreats from Babs sultry routines, and sometimes goes out of his way to impress her. In Prom-Ise her Anything, he takes her to the prom. During the episode segment on Dating, Acme Acres Style, titled, Buster's Guide to Dating, he and Babs show the audience how to go on a date, and at the end, (they were too late for their date), Buster tells guys to forget dating, but Babs says she forgot the goodnight kiss, and kisses him. He then says that dating is "Absolutely the best!", and faints. In the episode, Thirteensomething, he dares Babs to get on a show called Thirteensomething, because she thinks that she can get what she wants. Sure, enough, she gets on the show, and gets a month-long contract, and soon gets it renewed for five years. Buster realizes that without Babs, his life would be a mess, so he goes to the set during an episode as a new character and helps her escape. When they get back home, he receives a kiss form her. During another Tiny Toon Adventures episode, (the last one, actually) titled it's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special, his guardian toon angel Harvey, (revealed to be Bugs at the end) shows him what Acme Acres would be like if he literally took himself out of the picture. It would be ruled by Monty and called Montyville, the school would be ruled by him too, and would be called Montana Max's Buisiness Looniversity, rather than Acme Looniversity. Plucky Duck would star on Tiny Toon Adventures, where he would repeatedly have anvils fall on Babs. He also shows Buster that Babs is very sad and gloomy, and wishes that she had a co-star that cared about her. Buster begs to be back on Tiny Toons, and Harvey grants him his wish. When everything is retruned to normal, Babs asks why he was talking to Cher earlier, and why he pushed her out of the way. Cher whispers to Babs that he wanted to know what to get Babs for Christmas. Babs asks what she suggested, (makes a joke, and says, "So, what did she suggest, a tattoo?"), and he replies, "No, this.", and gives her a kiss, letting her melt into a puddle.

Description
Buster is an anthromorphic blue rabbit, and wears a red shirt and white gloves, which brings up the question when he asked his creator in the pilot episode for some clothes "for the censors" even though he's completely pantless.

Facts
It is shown in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian that Buster doesn't like riding on airplanes because he gets motion sickness. There he tried to persuade the script writers to make a rewrite regarding his disliking for air travel. Because they refused, he had no choice but to accept it.

In early development, Buster would have had the catchphrase "Hello Nurse!" as Bugs Bunny's catchphrase is "What's up doc?". This idea was dropped as they could not think of a good reason for him to say it; it later evolved into a character name on Animaniacs, as well as a cry of lust from its main characters.

End Tags on Tiny Toon Adventures
Buster's sole end tag ishe says "And that's a wrap!", while munching on a carrot.

He and Babs are dressed in Hawaiian clothes and in unison, say, "Aloha!".

Buster says, "Say goodnight, Babs." and she responds, "Goodnight, Babs."

Voice Actor
Charlie Adler voiced Buster for Seasons 1 and 2 of Tiny Toon Adventures, and all of Season 3, except for the last 10 percent of Buster's lines in The Horror of Slumber Party Mountain, and It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special. This is because during the casting for voices on Animniacs, Tress Macneille, (Babs' voice), along with minor voices on Tiny Toon Adventures got lead roles and he didn't. He was outraged, and his agent sent many angry letter saying he quit. The voice of Buster was re-cast, and John Kassir got the role. He voiced Buster for the remaining parts,the Tiny Toon Spring Break Special, and Night Ghouelry.
