Johnny Bravo, set in the fictional Aron City, tells the story of the boorish skirt-chasing eponymous character constantly searching for a woman willing to date him. Though he can be successful, something almost always goes wrong (Johnny either ends up getting pummeled by the girl of the week, or ends up the victim of one of the show's twists, or is left in strange predicaments). Johnny is described by the show's producers as "The quintessential self-absorbed guy who 'just doesn't get it.'" Johnny is unemployed and lives with his mother, Bunny Bravo. In some episodes, however he is seen working as a janitor for his karate instructor, Master Hamma.
