Lo, troper.
When come back, bring pie. Wanker.
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 Jonti "Weebl" Picking and shown on the website Weebls-Stuff.
The title characters are two egg-shaped, pie-loving, near-unintelligible fellows, modeled after the famous "Weeble" toys, who get into various odd adventures. 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.
Picking is also responsible for a number of
Ear Worm tunes that have gone
Memetic Mutation in the intervening years.
Badger Badger Badger (Mushroom Mushroom)
is probably the one you're most familiar with, but he also did the "
Magical Trevor"
song 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. (Picking being Picking, he
lampshaded this
eventually.)
Two other notable series on the website are
Cat Face (found
here) and
On The Moon (found
here).
The Weebl and Bob cartoons started on
Newgrounds, and were also aired on 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.

This series provides examples of:
- Ambiguously Gay: Believe it or not, Weebel himself, most notably how he actually liked the telegram received in 'Posh Times' for about 2 seconds before correcting himself.
- Bob in 'Intervention', who got VERY defensive when Weebl stated out of the blue that he thought Bob was gay.
- Artistic License - Biology: Babies
- A Simple Plan
- Awesome McCoolname: Team Laser Explosion.
- Ax Crazy / Knife Nut: The titular character of the Mr Stabby shorts.
- Badass Mustache: Most of the Russian Dancing Men.
- Brain Bleach: Weebl comes up with a new logo for "Team Laser Explosion". Bob and the pear cannot unsee.
- Calling Your Attacks: "LASER PELVIS ATTACK!"
- Cats Are Mean: Not that you can blame them in this case.
- Cool Horse: Horse guy's amazing horse.
- Commedia Dell Arte Troupe: The "Team Laser Explosion" shorts, in which Monkey plays a different villain every episode.
- Downer Ending: The Weebl and Bob series seems to have aprubtly ended with Weebl and Bob being shot by their alternate universe counterparts.
- Eyedscreen The "Hentai" Episode.
- G-Rated Drug: To them, cheese: in the episode set in The Eighties, 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 Censor Bar), they pass out and the following morning they gain their usual voices, appearance and mannerisms, which they curse the "cheeses" for.
- Indecipherable Lyrics: In Crabs.
- Insulted Awake: "Bob...Bob...oi, wanker!"
- Kanye WeI'm happy for you and I'm going to let you finish, but the chap in the other stall just had the greatest poo of all time!
- "Well, it was all right."
- Misplaced Wildlife: Where can you see tigers? Only in Kenya!
- Mundane Made Awesome: Narwhals!!!
- Musical Episode: Weebl and Bob occasionally do songs, frequently parodies.
- Naughty Tentacles/Black Comedy Rape: Happens in the "Hentai" episode.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Chris the Ninja Pirate. Who also appears to be a mushroom.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Team Laser Explosion. Both of their "costumes" consist of an elaborate helmet and chest laser emblem thing.
- Retirony: He was only one day away from his ''evil'' retirement!
- A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside an Enigma: In one short, Bob describes the flat-packed pie they bought from Piekia as "a conundrum wrapped in an enigma wrapped in pastry, wrapped in a lie."
- Rule 34: Parodied in Sexy Robots. Or at least, I HOPE it's a parody....
- The Waffles video is proof that there really are no exceptions...
- Something Completely Different: A number of examples, including "Team Laser Explosion", "The History of the World According to Weebl and Bob", and Bob's cartoons.
- Compared to his other examples of music, Ultrasound is strangely... normal.
- The site (Picking and a few other animators) does commissions; that one was for a British rapper called Johnny Massacre.
- There's also the Goovies, a series of movie parodies commissioned by the Cadbury Creme Egg company every Easter.
- Space Whale Aesop: In 'Egg', 'Cheese', and several of Bob's toons.
- Squiggle Vision: Bob's toons.
- Surreal Humor: pretty much everything Picking's done since the beginning of Weebl's Stuff.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Weebl has problems with a baby. Bob calls a tactical air strike.
- The Rival: "Damn you, Wee Bull! You win this time!"
- Toilet Humor: At times.
- In "Amazing Horse", the horse's cock grows to huge lengths and the horserider sings about drinking horse piss.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Mmmm, pie.
- The Unintelligible: 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 speech bubbles.
- 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 affect.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Weebl and Bob fit this trope to a T.
- With Friends Like These: Weebl and Bob, sometimes. (Weebl, mostly.)
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It is occasionally brought up that not even Weebl and Bob know where they are.
