6	''The Everyday Happenings of Weebl (And Sometimes Weebl's Friend Bob)'', or just ''Weebl and Bob'' for short, is a Web cartoon produced by British animator Jonathan "Jonti" Picking (better known as Mr. Weebl) and shown on the website Weebls-Stuff.
7
8	The title characters are two egg-shaped, pie-loving, near-unintelligible fellows, modeled after the famous "Weeble" toys, who get into various odd adventures, usually involving some scheme or quest to get pie, which they [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption rarely ever succeed in doing]]. Other characters include Weebl's bovine rival Wee Bull, an erudite Monkey who is probably the smartest character in the show despite not being toilet-trained, and Hairy Lee.
9
10	Picking is also responsible for a number of tunes that have gone MemeticMutation in the intervening years. "[[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers/ Badger Badger Badger (Mushroom Mushroom)]]" is probably the one you're most familiar with, but he also did the "[[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/magical+trevor/ Magical]] [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/magical+trevor+2/ Trevor]]" [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/magical+trevor+3/ song]] [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/magical+trevor+4/ cycle]], not to mention a bunch of others which we will not bother listing because your brain would collapse under the sheer stuck-in-your-headness unleashed thereby. (Jonti being Jonti, he {{lampshaded}} this [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/annoying/ eventually]].) He later started a children's channel called Jellybug, which features a number of his songs (sometimes [[{{Bowdlerize}} with sanitized lyrics]]).
11
12	Two other notable series on the website are ''WebAnimation/CatFace'' (found [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/catface/ here]]) and ''WebAnimation/OnTheMoon'' (found [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/onthemoon/ here]]).
13
14	The Weebl and Bob cartoons started on Platform/{{Newgrounds}}, and were also aired on Creator/{{MTV}} in the United Kingdom, under the title "Wobbl and Bob" due to Playskool's trademark on the "Weebles" toys on which the characters may have been based.

20	----
21	!!The ''Weebl & Bob'' shorts provide examples of:
22	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kevin, a male stripper Bob ends up sleeping with (and steals Bob's kidney) after a hard night's drinking in France. This becomes a NeverLiveItDown moment for Bob, as Weebl loves to remind him of it from time to time just to piss him off.
23	* AerithAndBob: The titular characters qualify as this trope.
24	* AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles: In "Hentai," Bob winds up in a sailor suit after some misadventure at a sushi place. He is whisked offscreen by a tentacle after Weebl reminds him what happens to schoolgirls in Japanese cartoons.
25	* AmbiguouslyGay: Believe it or not, Weebl himself, most notably how he actually liked the telegram received in 'Posh Times' for about 2 seconds before correcting himself.
26	** Bob in 'Intervention', who got VERY defensive when Weebl stated out of the blue that he thought Bob was gay.
27	* BlackComedyRape: Happens in the "Hentai" episode.
28	* BrainBleach: Weebl comes up with a new logo for "Team Laser Explosion". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdCh8VRGrWY Bob and the pear cannot unsee.]]
29	* ButtMonkey: Bob. Poor, poor Bob.
30	* CallingYourAttacks: "LASER PELVIS ATTACK!"
31	* CuteOwl: The earth turns into a fuzzy owlet at the end of the "Cute Explosion" musical video
32	* {{Eyedscreen}}: Happens between Weebl and Bob for a quick visual gag in "Hentai".
33	* FatIdiot: Weebl.
34	* FourTwentyBlazeIt: The Town population in "Strawberry Pancakes" starts at this, and (in the Flash original) decreases by 1 with each loop. When it gets to 0...
35	* GRatedDrug: To them, cheese: in the episode set in TheEighties, both of them have large mullets, they're both the same size and sound suave and smarter in general, but after consuming a large amount of cheese (the pile of which is blocked out by a CensorBox), they pass out and the following morning they gain their usual voices, appearance and mannerisms, which they curse the "cheeses" for.
36	* InsultedAwake: "Bob...Bob...oi, wanker!"
37	* MusicalEpisode: Weebl and Bob occasionally do songs, frequently parodies.
38	* NaughtyTentacles: Bob falls victim to this at the end of the "Hentai" episode.
39	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Chris the Ninja Pirate. Who also appears to be a mushroom.
40	* OurHippocampsAreDifferent: In the ''Weebl's Stuff'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9auOCbH5Ns4 "Unicorn"]], the narrator wonders if unicorns are [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction the result of a narwhal breeding with a horse]], and depicts the resulting new-born unicorn as having a fish-shaped body and a mane resembling the fins of a goldfish.
41	* PaperThinDisguise: Team Laser Explosion. Both of their "costumes" consist of an elaborate helmet and [[BuffySpeak chest laser emblem thing]].
42	* {{Retirony}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdCh8VRGrWY He was only one day away from his evil retirement!]]
43	* ARiddleWrappedInAMysteryInsideAnEnigma: In one short, Bob describes the flat-packed pie they bought from [[FictionalCounterpart Piekia]] as "a conundrum wrapped in an enigma wrapped in pastry, wrapped in a lie."
44	* TheRival: "Damn you, Wee Bull! You win this time!"
45	** Later becoming LukeIAmYourFather.
46	* SquiggleVision: Bob's toons.
47	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Weebl has problems with a baby. Bob calls a tactical air strike.
48	--> "Well, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments are you having problems with it now]]?!"
49	* TheUnintelligible:
50	** Quite a few characters, even to the point where they've said twice that the only way they even understand is each is by reading their [[BreakingTheFourthWall speech bubbles]].
51	** Their distinctive speech appears to be produced by talking while keeping one's tongue flat on the bottom of one's mouth, and possibly mumbling just a little to exaggerate the effect.
52	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: "Mmmm, pie" is practically a catchphrase.
53	* UniversalAdaptorCast: The "Team Laser Explosion" shorts, in which Monkey plays a different villain every episode.
54	* UnusualEuphemism: "Pubewaffles", "Pisseggs" and "Bumpigeons", among others.
55	* VisualPun: When fighting an [[ItMakesSenseInContext evil airborne sentient pre-nuptials agreement to keep their homicidal black widow half-donkey mother from marrying their pirate friend]], said contract [[WeaponsGradeVocabulary shoots a bunch of words into Weebls mouth]]. Cue the phrase:
56	-->'''Bob''': “He put the words right in your mouth!”
57	* VitriolicBestBuds: Weebl and Bob fit this trope to a T.
58	* WithFriendsLikeThese: Weebl is not exactly the best friend to Bob, though Bob has been known to get his.
59	* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: It is occasionally brought up that not even Weebl and Bob know where they are.
60
61	!!The ''Weebl's Stuff'' songs provide examples of:
62	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: The amazing horse has pink mane, tail and belly fur.
63	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgXJbJeRxHo&feature=feedu Babies]] depicts Jonti getting pregnant by eating and giving birth by shitting the babies out.
64	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXm1ICO8Nec Dugong]] mentions that the creature is also known as a manatee. However, the two Sirenians are different species. The Jellybug version of the song fixes this, changing the lyrics to "closely related to the manatee", and even [[ShownTheirWork showing a dugong with a forked tail and a manatee with a rounded tail]] next to each other.
65	** And no, there are not actually tigers in Kenya. Peabo lampshaded this with [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope a disclaimer]] in his remix of the "Kenya" video.
66	--->[=*=] Good luck actually finding tigers in Kenya
67	* AxCrazy / PsychoKnifeNut: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin titular character]] of [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Mr+Stabby/ the]] ''[[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Mr+Stabby+II/ Mr]] [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Mr+Stabby+3/ Stabby]]'' [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Mr+Stabby+4/ shorts]].
68	* {{Bowdlerise}}: Jonti Picking runs the children's music channel "Jellybug" that features some sanitized versions of his "Weebl" songs. For example, in "Narwhals" the narwhals' horn is described as "massive" rather than "kick-ass", and the animation for the "don't let them touch your balls" line shows a toy ball getting deflated rather than a GroinAttack.
69	* BrokenRecord: "Badger Badger Badger" is essentially just "badger" repeated on loop, plus the occasional "mushroom" or "snake".
70	* CatsAreMean: [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Cat+Loo/ Not that you can blame them]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NERRkfR7N7w in this case]].
71	* CoolHorse: Horse guy's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUl9_5kK9ts amazing horse]]. So cool that it can turn into a plane and can take you around the universe and all the other places too!
72	* EarWorm: "Annoying" is a song ''about'' a man complaining about a catchy song getting stuck in his head.
73	* ExplosiveBreeder: In "Babies", Weebl gives birth to dozens of babies every day.
74	* FantasticRacism:
75	** Leprechauns hate Unicorns because their rainbow effluvium contrails give away their gold stashes.
76	** In "Owls", it's implied that there's an age-old feud between owls and beavers.
77	* GagPenis: The amazing horse's "winky" is longer than its entire body.
78	* GroinAttack: Narwhals... just don't let them touch your balls.
79	* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Discussed in "Unicorn"; the leprechaun narrator wonders if you get unicorns by crossbreeding narwhals with horses.
80	* HuskyRusskie: All the Russian Dancing Men are pretty tough and manly.
81	* IDrankWhat: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] in "The Amazing Horse". It's never explicitly said, and it's never drank, but after the woman declares the horse's "winky" as dirty, the horse rider has this to say.
82	-->''Do you think so?''\
83	''Well, I better not show you where the lemonade is made!''\
84	''Sweet lemonade! Mmm, sweet lemonade!''\
85	''Sweet lemonade! Yeah, sweet lemonade!''
86	* IndecipherableLyrics: In ''[[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/crabs/ Crabs]]'', after the singer gets his mouth full of crabs, he becomes TheUnintelligible.
87	* LetsMeetTheMeat: "Pork" is full of smiling pigs who seem to have no problem with the prospect of being eaten or of cannibalising their own.
88	* MisplacedWildlife: Where can you see tigers? Only in Kenya!
89	* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Narwhals/ Narwhals!!!]]
90	** Where can ya see Lions? Only in Kenya!
91	** This trope is also the whole point of the ''[[GratuitousNinja Honorable Ninja Farm]]'' videos.
92	** Everyone loves Magical Trevor, 'cos the things that he does are ever so clever!
93	*** He saw beans!
94	** [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Stephen+Fry/ Stephen! Stephen FRYYYYYYY!]]
95	* RedLiveLobster: "Shrimp Glockenspiel" has pink shrimp and prawns, as well as red lobsters and crabs.
96	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Fat Labrador is a ball of fat with four vestigial legs poking out of the sides and a dogs head with a huge "doggy smile" plastered on. It manages to be adorable rather than sad.
97	* RuleThirtyFour:
98	** Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhQhZ4rcJdU Sexy Robots]]. [[PoesLaw Or at least, we HOPE it's a parody....]]
99	** The ''Waffles'' video is proof that there really are no exceptions...
100	* ShoutOut: During "Scampi", one of the "things in disguise" is a map of Malaysia with [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E12BartGetsFamous Kuala Lumpur crossed out and "France" written in its place]].
101	* SpaceWhaleAesop: In 'Egg', 'Cheese', and several of Bob's toons.
102	** Dogs can't do science so leave them at home or a "cute explosion" will occur, destroying the world.
103	* SpermAsPeople: The music video "Babies" briefly shows some Weebl-faced sperms swimming towards an egg.
104	* SugarBowl: In "Cute Explosion" the entire universe turns into this because of a lab accident.
105	* SurrealHumor: Pretty much '''everything''' Jonti's done since the beginning of Weebl's Stuff.
106	* TinCanRobot: The male singer in "Sexy Robots" is this. The female singer is a computer.
107	* ToiletHumor: In "Amazing Horse", the horse's "[[UnusualEuphemism winky]]" grows to huge lengths and the rider [[ImpliedTrope heavily implies]] (although never explicitly states) that the "sweet lemonade" is made of horse piss.
108	* TheUnintelligible: You will become this when you have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3jFTzhdZF4 a mouth full of crabs]]
109	* UpperClassEquestrian: "Amazing Horse" features a dapper gentleman trying to impress a woman with his CoolHorse.
110	* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: ''Helium'' states that everyone should own a blimp "Coz blimps are pretty pimp".
