Rabbits is a 2002 series of eight short horror web films written and directed by David Lynch, although Lynch himself referred to it as a sitcom. It depicts three humanoid rabbits played by Scott Coffey, Laura Elena Harring and Naomi Watts in a room. Their disjointed conversations are interrupted by a laugh track. Rabbits is presented with the tagline "In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful mystery".
Originally consisting of a series of eight digitally-filmed episodes (of a maximum of 15 minutes each) shown exclusively on Lynch's website, Rabbits is no longer available there. The films are now only available on DVD in the "Lime Green Set" collection of Lynch's films, in a re-edited four-episode version. The set also does not contain episode three. As of 2020, Lynch had been occasionally uploading the original episodes to YouTube.
The set and some footage of the Rabbits were reused in Lynch's 2006 feature film Inland Empire.
