Plot

Woodchuck brothers Dilweed and Fungus didn't always see themselves as heroes. But one night, it all changed. It was during a late night TV infomercial marathon that their lives were forever altered when they ordered mega legend Woodchuck Morris' motivational kung-fu video "The Way of the Chuck!" Since then, these fur covered brothers made it their mission to become as awesome at life as their kung fu mentor!
Characters

    Dilweed (voiced by Terry McGurrin) - Overconfident, focused and stubborn. Dilweed is the oldest of the Numb Chucks (by 15 seconds!) As the elder bro of the duo, Dilweed takes himself, and everything they do, a bit more seriously than Fungus. To him, kung fu is a deadly serious matter.

    Fungus (voiced by Lou Attia) - Emotional, unfocused, overzealous. Fungus is a happy-go-luck kinda guy. To Fungus, kung fu is KUNG-FUN! Fungus secretly wants to be as awesome as his older brother, Dilweed who he looks up to. Fungus is very emotional and is prone to clumsiness and fears ballooons, especially the static-y variety.

    Quills (voiced by Bryn McAuley) - Happy, easy going and helpful. Quills works at "Pin Heads", Ding-A-Ling Springs' popular bowling alley. Quills is the bowling alley's only employee and rarely goes outside. The Numb Chucks are a wacky ray of sunshine in her day. She loves them! Quills supports the Numb Chucks martial arts vision and yearns to be like them.

    Buford (voiced by Andrew Jackson) - Jealous, lazy and irritable. Buford lives in a house with his Grandmother and contributes nothing (he'd rather sit on the couch and play video games.) Since Buford's Grandma loves the Numb Chucks and makes Buford look bad, Buford has made it his goal to get rid of the Numb Chucks and expose their stupidity to his Grandma.

    Hooves (voiced by Rob Tinkler) - High strung and delicate, Hooves is nervous. And who wouldn't be living next door to the Numb Chucks? Hooves went to High School with Woodchuck Morris which makes the Numb Chucks LOVE him to Hooves' dismay. Hooves enjoys gardening but doesn't enjoy the Chucks or Grandma Butternut invading his personal space.

    Grandma Butternut (voiced by Julie Lemieux) - Feisty, blunt and generous. Grandma Butternut is Buford's grandmother and housemate. She is constantly disappointed with him. Grandma is polite and sweet to everyone except to Buford. She adores the always helpful Numb Chucks as they remind her of the 'good ole days' in Ding-A-Ling Springs.

    Woodchuck Morris (voiced by Joris Jarsky) - A former Ding-A-Ling springs native, Woodchuck Morris is the highly-charged and intimidating host of the Numb Chucks' favourite martial arts training video. He fears nothing! He doesn't like pity, evil or compromise of any kind! His main desire is to spread the gospel of kung fu and is the icon that the Numb Chucks have chosen to follow.
