''This is Bob'' (rus. ''Знакомьтесь, Боб'') is a Russian science-fiction [=YouTube=] web-show created by unnamed authors from St. Petersburg in 2016, starring a [[TheSpeechless quiet]], naive guy named Bob (or rather [[MesACrowd many clones of him]]), who's a subject to many [[EdutainmentShow educative]] experiments on various topics, ranging from how to survive the 32 800 ft. fall without a parachute to how to run an entire mine field without losing your limbs. Like many shows from the 2010's, it has a MythArc spanning the entire show, telling a story about two scientists named Tom (nicknamed the Speaker) and Robert, who build their own laboratory called [=BobSoc=], but due to an accident involving Robert's latest hit invention called X, he acquires over 300 powers and abilities, disappearing but not before warning his friend about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]], forcing Tom to find the blueprints of the device in one of the clones.

The first clone ever created, Scarred Bob, survives by a lucky accident, and tries to take down his creator with other clones, ultimately failing and later joining Tom on the adventures to take down Robert and... There's too much to explain, really.
The show first premiered on December 5, 2016, spanning seven seasons, becoming a hit starting with it's second season, and suffering a [[SeasonalRot]] starting with its fourth season.
The show's success led to the creation of an identical show called ''Meet Arnold'', created by Ukrainian authors for American audience, which caused controversy, despite Arnold becoming very popular in USA.
!!Tropes:
* AbsenteeActor: Aside from a brief ad in the beginning of the episode, the season 5 finale doesn't feature any Bob clones, only focusing on Tom and his alternate universe counterpart.
* AllForNothing: The season 4 finale reveals that none of Robert's clones had the X blueprints, and that all of Tom's searching were pointless.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Tom is almost always completely monotone, killing clones (and later actual people) without making that much of a deal about it.
* AntiHero: He murders clones of Bob (and later alternate Roberts who all look and sound like the clones), all the while trying to save the world from an unknown disaster.
* BadassBookworm: Both Tom and Robert, who possess unbelievable intelligence and various awesome technology.
** Scarred Bob as well, who takes after his genetic material, being a great leader and inventor.
* BigDamnHeroes: Scarred Bob and his team of clones, who attempt to stop Speaker's tyranny in the season 2 finale. [[spoiler:They all die, except for their leader.]]
* BigDamnMovie: Parodied in a non-canon episode, where Bob, who's parodying RoboCop, fights Tom, who destroys the town riding a giant cat.
* BrainyBrunette: Robert and some of his clones.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Tom has one that he says every time in the beginning of every episode of the show:
-->Hello! This is Bob!
* CharacterDevelopment: For 6 seasons, Tom had always blamed Robert for all the trouble he himself caused, like [[spoiler:killing Scarred Bob when he actually did it]]. In the season 6 finale, however, he [[JerkassRealization realizes rather quickly]] that his ego and envy are his most fatal flaws.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Tom murders many alternate versions of Robert in seasons 5-7, and later they murder Tom's alternate versions after mutating in season 7.
* DitzyGenius: Tom, who has many mistakes in his calculations.
* GreenEyedMonster: Tom has known Robert since childhood, and always envied him, blaming him for everything.
* IdiotSavant: Many Bob clones (and later alternate Roberts) are [[TooDumbToLive]], blatantly following everything Tom says to them. However, most of them actually see through his charade, trying to murder him. However, most of the time, they are literally this, dying from his hands shortly afterwards.
* TheMultiverse: Is explored heavily in season 7, with all of the episodes taking place in bizarre alternate worlds.
* RoleSwapAU: In one of the season 3 episodes, Bob travels to an alternate reality where he experiments on Speaker clones.
* TheSpeechless: Bob clones are unable to speak, and can only babble or use sign language, only being able to speak with a certain device similar to a hearing aid. This is surprisingly subverted in some of the episodes in which Bobs can [[TheSingingMute sing]] without the device.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Related to the above, Bobs speak during the season 3 and 4 [[ChristmasEpisode]], and one who is able to speak without the device in season 7.
