Plot[]

The series stars Dilweed and Fungus, two woodchucks with big hearts who are obsessed with using their bungling kung-fu skills to protect the lives of the citizens in their town of Ding-a-Ling Springs.

Characters[]

Dilweed[]

(voiced by Terry McGurrin)

He is overconfident, focused and stubborn. He is older than Fungus by 15 seconds. He tends to the more 'serious' things and likes to do kung fu.

Fungus[]

(voiced by Lou Attia)

He is emotional, unfocused and overzealous. He is younger than Dilweed by 15 seconds. He is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He secretly wants to be like his brother, Dilweed, who he looks up to. He is afraid of balloons.

Quills[]

(voiced by Bryn McAuley)

She is happy, easy going and helpful. She works at a bowling alley called "Pin Heads." She is the bowling alley's only employee and rarely goes outside. She supports the Numb Chucks' martial arts vision and wants to be like them.

Buford[]

(voiced by Andrew Jackson)

He is jealous, lazy and irritable. Buford lives with his grandmother and hardly contributes to anything. Since his grandmother, Grandma Butternut, makes him look bad by the way she treats the Numb Chucks, he wants to get rid of them and tries to expose their stupidity to his grandmother.

Hooves[]

(voiced by Rob Tinkler)

He is high strung, delicate and prone to being nervous. Despite the fact that he gets nervous quickly, he lives right next door to the Numb Chucks. Fungus and Dilweed really like him because he went to high school with Woodchuck Morris. He hates it when the Numb Chucks or Grandma Butternut invades his personal space. He also enjoys gardening.

Grandma Butternut[]

(voiced by Julie Lamieux)

She is feisty, blunt and generous. She is Buford's grandmother and lives with him. She is always disappointed of Buford. She treats everyone nicely and generously except for Buford and is friends with the Numb Chucks.

Woodchuck Morris[]

(voiced by Joris Jarsky)

He used to live in Ding-A-Ling Springs. He is the host of the Numb Chucks' favorite martial arts training video. He fears nothing. He wants to help spread kung fu. He is a homage to Chuck Norris.
