Bunzo Bunny is a toy produced by Playtime Co. who debuted in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web. He resided in the Musical Memory minigame as its main antagonist. Toy versions of Bunzo were later seen being produced near the Water Treatment facility.

Appearance

Bunzo Bunny is an anthropomorphic yellow rabbit with black eyes, two large buck teeth, and long ears. He frequently appears with a wide grin. He also wears a green party hat similar to those seen on clowns and matching overalls with suspenders and buttons of the same color. Bunzo typically holds two golden cymbals. His cheeks are orange, similar to the inside of his ears; he has small tufts of fur around his chest and on top of his head.

As an Bigger Body, he retains largely the same appearance. However, one notable difference is that he now has a row of jagged fangs lining his mouth, which is also split further and widely open.

Personality

“	A yellow rabbit with all the fun and energy a growing kid could require! With his symbols, green overalls, a little green party hat, and button eyes, he’s always ready for a party.	”
— Character Bios

Bunzo Bunny is described in the Orientation Notebook as being cheerful and an avid birthday celebrator, upbeat enough to play his cymbals whenever he gets excited. He is also smart and has a great memory, being able to remember a lot of birthdays (up to 8 of them as a toy). As shown in the Easter Comic, he is lively and social with his friends, but easily frightened and stressed out. He is gullible enough to be lured into scenarios such as ignoring the warnings and guidance of his closest friends and even getting himself severely wounded. Small mistakes on his end, such as accidentally killing a baby bird before it can hatch, can drive him to remorseful tears and a strong desire to fix them, even if they can't be fixed. It can be implied that his jolly nature is used to cover up his sadder side.

The Bigger Body version of Bunzo, however, takes on a darker and more twisted personality, showing his excitement and ravenous behavior through his cymbals, crashing them faster and louder the closer he gets to The Player. He seemingly delights in eating The Player if they fail the game, screaming and crashing his cymbals with a deafening din before doing so.

History

Backstory

Bunzo Bunny was created by Playtime Co., likely sometime in the 1980s and possibly after the release of Candy Cat.

A Bigger Body version of him, numbered 1176, was created in November 1990, designated to Musical Memory as a way of testing the brain and reactive capacity of the orphans. Though he was considered a success, the experiment's creation didn't intrigue Harley Sawyer whatsoever.

Experiment 1395

Another Bunzo experiment, made with an orphan at Playcare named Danny, was created. Before being experimented on, he asked Bruno White who had adopted him and if they would treat him well, while Dr. White replied that he was in good hands, consequently deceiving him.

Chapter 2: Fly in a Web

Bunzo Bunny's jumpscare

After The Player arrives at Musical Memory, Bunzo slowly descends while Mommy Long Legs explains some of the game rules to The Player. Upon ascending again, the minigame then begins, and he slowly descends while The Player presses the buttons. If they gets continuous errors in the game's pattern sequence, Bunzo accelerates his descent and then kills The Player with his cymbals. However, this did not occur due to the emergency stop, which caused Bunzo Bunny to retreat.

A closer view of Bunzo's corpse.

A few minutes after The Player leaves the game area, faint thrashing noises as well as crashing from Bunzo's cymbals can be heard. This indicates that Mommy Long Legs murdered Bunzo for failing to kill The Player. If The Player returns to the Game Station after leaving Musical Memory, Bunzo's corpse can be spotted on the ceiling, hanging motionless and trapped by Mommy's webs. The cable attached to Bunzo's back that was used for his ascent and descent in Musical Memory is nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 3: Deep Sleep

A lone Bunzo Bunny toy can be seen walking and clapping its cymbals in the Counselor's Office before falling to the ground. CatNap then quickly runs in and snatches up the toy bunny before leaving quickly.

The Bunzo Bunny Easter Comic is a series of illustrated comic panels showcasing Bunzo Bunny as he tries to find the secret eggs hidden around the Playtime Co. factory. The comic was entirely posted on Mob Entertainment's Twitter account, with the community voting on what would happen over time.

The first poll was posted on April 4, 2023. Bunzo Bunny was depicted going on an egg hunt with his friend, a bucket with googly-eyes given the name "Bucky", to find "secret eggs". The community was given a choice about whether they should talk to Bron, Boxy Boo, or PJ Pug-a-Pillar.

After the community voted for Bunzo to talk to Bron, Bron instructs Bunzo that a secret egg is hidden on the Game Station catwalks. Later that day, Bunzo smells an egg coming from under the closed door The Prototype pulled Mommy Long Legs' dead body from in Chapter 2. The community was given a choice: listen to Bron or investigate the smell.

The community voted for Bunzo to investigate the smell due to them wanting to know what was behind the door. Bunzo crawls under the door and comes across "the secret egg" which is actually a bird egg in a nest on a ledge out of reach. The community was given a choice of whether to use a stack of boxes, a GrabPack, or Bucky to reach the bird egg.

After the community voted for Bunzo to use the GrabPack conveniently lying on the floor, Bunzo fires the GrabPack hand towards the bird egg and successfully grabs onto it. As warned in GrabPack Training, the GrabPack should only hit small handles/objects. Bunzo decides to look at the bird egg but finds out that he crushed the bird egg, exposing a bird fetus that has not yet fully grown. Bunzo quickly rushes to somehow fix his mistake, however, he falls deep into the factory, tripping into a pit he didn't see. Bunzo falls onto the hard ground, injuring himself. In this state, he is unable to stand and is barely able to talk. The community was given a choice: call for help, wait, or give up.

After the community voted for Bunzo to call for help, Bunzo, with all his might, yelled for help to no response. Unable to do anything due to his injured state, he waits an hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 8 days, and 15 days with no response while he draws his comics to retell his story of how he got trapped in the pit. Bunzo finally dies while documenting how many days he's on, attempting to write what appears to be 30 days. Bunzo's story ends with a tweet showcasing a render of Bunzo's dead body rotting away. Weirdly, his upper forehead appears to have been bitten out, and he is missing both of his eyes and front teeth. Since there are long scratch marks on the wall near the corpse, it's possible that the Prototype or CatNap took the eyes and teeth. It is unknown if the events portrayed in this comic series are canon.

Trivia

• Bunzo Bunny originally was planned to have blue overalls in his appearance, although Andy Gill states that this was scrapped because Bunzo looked too much like a Minion.
• In the Chapter 2 Official Trailer, Daisy was used as the Musical Memory antagonist instead of Bunzo.
  • This was changed in the current version of the game. This could mean that Daisy was just a beta-tested character, or simply a placeholder for other characters to take its place.
• Bunzo is most likely based on a Jolly Chimp in terms of function. His jumpscare scream also sounds like that of an an enraged chimpanzee.
• Bunzo knowing the date of "your" birthday (June 28) is a direct reference to the birthday of Markiplier, a YouTuber who also played Poppy Playtime.
  • Amusingly, while the intention was likely to get a surprised response from him, Mark only remained surprised for 77 seconds, then rudely assumed Bunzo got that "public information" off the internet.
• Upon digging into the game's assets, an audio file titled "mommy_kills_bunzo.uasset" can be found in the game's programming. This audio file is played shortly after The Player leaves the Musical Memory game area through the ventilation duct, hence confirming Bunzo is indeed killed by Mommy Long Legs. This is further confirmed by Bunzo's corpse on the roof of the Game Station mentioned above. He is also the first character to die in Chapter 2.

• A poster of Bunzo can be found in Chapter 3 that depicts him falling into a pit with captions reading "Watch Your Step". This is likely a reference to the Easter comic.
• Bunzo is the first rabbit toy in the Poppy Playtime franchise. The second is Hoppy Hopscotch.
  • Coincidentally, they both have the same color scheme, but Bunzo is mainly yellow, while Hoppy is mainly green.
• In the Nintendo Switch version of chapter 2, Bunzo's dead body will not spawn in the Game Station.
• Bunzo might be based on Cuddles from Happy Tree Friends, since both are yellow, both are bunnies and both have two big buckteeth.
• The background of the Easter Hunt comics are floor tiles, suggesting that, as the reader continues to follow the comic, they're slowly approaching Bunzo's dead body.
  • It is likely that the comics were drawn by Bunzo himself, as some papers are seen with pictures surrounding Bunzo since the “8 Days" panel.
