Most modern Chotoonz videos and compilations include "bumpers" featuring the characters from the compilation they're being featured in, usually the main cast from Pakdam Pakdai or Bunty Aur Billy. These sequences often feature surreal, absurd, and occasionally obscure material, whether it be a parody of a popular franchise (like the Avengers), or a strange occurrence happening to the characters. Videos from Chotoonz also occasionally feature censorship of some scenes considered abnormally "violent".
