Madame Gusto’s Circus!
The BFI have come to my rescue! Theirs is the first website I have found with evidence that I didn’t merely imagine a cartoon series called “Madame Gusto’s Circus“. They don’t actually seem to have any information about it, other than the title, but it’s there!
The only things I remember about it are (other than obvious - it was about a circus, and one Madame Gusto, naturally):
- There were some rabbits that said “bunnybunnybunny” a great deal. Possibly only in one episode.
- Rabbits going “bunnybunnybunny” was possibly the only piece of intelligible dialogue.
I am now… I’d like to say I’m now a happy bunny, but that would be patently ridiculous given the above bullet points. Let’s just say I am a pleased young man. Perhaps disproportionately pleased? Nah.

Hi - I’m afraid I haven’t been able to find any more info or pictures or anything. I *think* I enjoyed it when it was on, in a strange sort of way. Pretty much everything I remember about it is in this post!
From reading your blog… is this what you were looking for!? http://www.oup.com/oald-bin/web_getald7index1a.pl?search_word=horny

After blanking it for 20+ years, I heard something today which reminded me of this show! Sadly, Google only led me to you and the BFI. My mate had taped an episode which, I *think*, involved a tractor and a monkey. In fact, I’m pretty sure the monkey was driving the tractor. One of the characters said the line, ‘Come over here!’ in a ridiculous voice and for some bizarre reason this kept us amused for weeks. I’m really glad I didn’t just imagine this stuff…

@Dave
Now you mention that, the monkey driving the tractor sounds strangely familiar… I am beginning to wonder if it wasn’t originally in English and there is a wealth of info on it under an original foreign title. Nice to know I am the number two expert on something in the English-speaking world after the BFI!!
And thanks for reassuring me further that I didn’t hallucinate the whole thing!

I remember this being shown during my school holidays in around 1989, but the lack of success on google made me think it was some strange childhood hallucination. But then I found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=250463809834. Not sure how long the link is up for, but there is a VHS available. Get the feeling the cartoon was Italian, so like Tim says, it may be well known, just under a different language.

my brother and i watched this show avidly when we where young. all the characters spoke in gobledegook apart from the occasional swear word in english that you could just make out. eg bfhyudmkirjhhbollocksngjtruycdbdhjf.
