It's Happy Bunny is the name of a character in a series of stickers, buttons, posters, and other merchandise sold at novelty shops across North America. Designed by artist and writer Jim Benton, It's Happy Bunny is a small, smiling bunny, often varying in color, with a slogan printed at its feet.

The appeal of the merchandise lies in the fact that most, if not all, of the slogans are apathetic and sometimes offensive and derogatory. Examples are "You suck and that's sad" and "It worries me how dumb you are". The first Happy Bunny slogan was "You are smart."

Happy Bunny products are sold in many forms such as stickers, backgrounds, desktops, jewelry, merchandise, computer mousepads. Some quotes include: "Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it" "Cute but kind of Strange" and many others.

It's Happy Bunny has a line of "medicine" to cure to most awkward of diseases such as the "I'm delusional" pills., however, are simply mints or small candies that are more for display for adults or kids. This merchandise is found in many shops, such as Claire's, Mervyns, and Kohls.

In addition, Jim Benton has written It's Happy Bunny books including Life. Get One, Love Bites , What's Your Sign?, and The Good, The Bad, and the Bunny. These books are targeted towards teen audiences and should not be mistaken for children's books. In addition, an It's Happy Bunny Sudoku book has been written by Jim Benton and Rafael Sirkis. This book is not as derogatory as the others.
