Numb Chucks is a Canadian animated television series that was created by Phil LaFrance and Jamie LeClaire and premiered on YTV in Canada on January 7, 2014.[1][2] The series focuses on Dilweed and Fungus, a pair of 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. The series aired its final episode on December 1, 2016. 52 episodes were produced over two seasons.[3]
Plot
Before one night changed their lives, woodchuck brothers Dilweed and Fungus never saw themselves as heroes. But during a late-night-TV infomercial, they ordered a Woodchuck Morris kung-fu video. Now, they have made it their mission to become just as awesome as their kung-fu mentor. Misguided but with good intentions, the brothers become obsessed with using their newfound skills to protect the citizens in their town of Ding-a-Ling Springs. Dilweed and Fungus take on a never-ending quest to fight off danger with Morris' guidance.
Characters
Main
- Dilweed Chuck (voiced by Terry McGurrin) is a yellow woodchuck and the co-protagonist of the series. He likes to get along with the Ding-a-Ling Springs civilians and learn about kung fu fighting. "Age of Ignorance" reveals that Dilweed is the older twin by 15 seconds. He has a yellow belt.
- Fungus Chuck (voiced by Lou Attia in season 1 and Cory Doran in season 2) is a brown woodchuck and also the co-protagonist. He's just as silly as Dilweed, but even more sillier. He has a white belt and no visible ears.
Supporting
- Quills (voiced by Bryn McAuley) is a periwinkle porcupine who owns a bowling alley called Pinheads. She is good friends with Dilweed and Fungus unlike Hooves and Buford.
- Buford G. Butternut (voiced by Andrew Jackson) is a blue sheep with white wool and wears white sports socks. As the main antagonist, he despises the Numb Chucks due to their dim-witted immaturity and calls them "chuckleheads".

- Sir Rupert Van Der Hooves (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is a neurotic and German-accented yellow moose who also lives next door to Dilweed and Fungus.
