Created in June 2002, it became popular when noticed by MTV who broadcast short episodes on its cable channel. The series revolves around two egg-like creatures called Weebl and Bob, who are best friends with an obsession with pie. They speak in an indecipherable tongue but the text is read in speech bubbles as the episode goes on. The stories mainly concern the duo's many (failed) attempts to get pie, or introduce a new character. The humour is often crude and immature, and most episodes revolve around the characters simply staying on the spot and conversing, but often twists are added to the episodes, such as the recent parody of a-ha's Take on Me music video in the episode "Paper". Since its creation, Weebl and Bob has generated a strong fanbase worldwide and often is referred to in many places on the Internet, such is its appeal. Advent Calendar Jonti Picking made an advent calendar, with a different flash animation for each day, for Christmas. The first animation features Weebl and Bob singing, and the last animation is the Christmas Badgers version of Badger Badger Badger, where the badgers are dressed up as santas complete with beards. Advent Calendar external links Weebl's Stuff Advent Calendar Badgers Main article: Badger Badger Badger Badgers One of the most popular cartoons animated by Jonti Picking is Badgers. The animation consists of dancing badgers, snakes, and mushrooms. When the cartoon was first released in 2003, it became an instant phenomenon and became wildly popular throughout the Internet. Currently there are three official remakes of the original, including; Football Badgers, Halloween Badgers and Christmas Badgers (as seen on Weebl's Stuff Advent Calendar). Magical Trevor Magical Trevor Magical Trevor The first cartoon, released July 2004, begins with a little man wearing a white robe that says "TREV" and a pointed white hat with a star hanging from the tip. His robe seems overly loose as it hangs from his extremities. He has an orange beard styled in such a way that several sections stick out and curl inward. This is apparently Magical Trevor (he has some genuine magical ability, most obviously shown in the first cartoon, when he shoots magical energy from his hands). He stands on a wooden stage next to a cow, before an audience of other cows apathetically chewing grass. There is a banner that says "Magical Trevor" above the stage. Behind the stage is blue sky and mountains. Music plays throughout and is the main reason for the cartoon's humor and popularity. The music is entirely keyboard and drum machines. Two or three male voices sing and narrate the story. It is reminiscent of They Might Be Giants. Magical Trevor has the ability to make cows disappear. Then, utilizing a magic leather whip (which displeases the cows as its tag reveals it is made from 100% cowhide), he can make them reappear. After he does this trick, a cow holds a press conference about how Magical Trevor sent him to a parallel dimension that was nothing but a warehouse filled with rows and rows of canned beans. The cartoon continues to loop until one goes to another Web page or closes the Web browser window. In the scene where Trevor is performing for the cows, the lyrics talk about how well-liked he is, but the cows go from indifferent to angry, and Trevor goes from a childish eagerness to a nervous desire to appease the cows. Then, after Trevor has failed to make any impression on his audience, the cow that he used in his trick is given a full press conference. Through these aspects of the story, the cartoon skillfully develops Magical Trevor's character, and makes him likeable to boot. As of May 2006, Magical Trevor has been viewed approximately 7 million (and counting) times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites. An independent movie company, Dr. Zaius Productions, shot a film based on this cartoon, which was also named "Magical Trevor." In the film, Magical Trevor teams up with The Queen of the Gypsies, an insane person dressed in drag, and Magical Constance, a native girl who cannot speak, to help him find the cow he made disappear. The movie did very poorly. Magical Trevor 2 Magical Trevor 2, released February 2005 begins with Trevor traveling through space in a small space ship called "Trev I" to "Pigeon Planet", which if you notice has pigeon excrement on it. He arrives at the planet and appears on a stage in a puff of smoke. Using a piece of rope, he pulls a large pigeon (who is inside a box with only its head, feet, and tail exposed), which is on the stage next to him, into view. He then produces a stick from behind him and saws the pigeon in half with it. The lower half then defecates on the stage, displeasing Trevor. Behind Trevor a curtain is drawn revealing that they are on Aisle 2 of a supermarket. Aisle 2 has nothing but Ragú tomato sauce on its shelves. Like its predecessor, Magical Trevor 2 has music playing throughout, and at the "end", the cartoon returns to the point where Trevor appeared on the stage. The cartoon continues to loop until the viewer goes to another Web page or closes the Web browser window. The music is very much like its prequel with drums and keyboards playing throughout it. The voices are the same as its prequel. As of May 2006, Magical Trevor 2 has been viewed 3.06 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites. Magical Trevor 3 Magical Trevor 3, released September 2005 starts with Trevor arriving with "Trev I" on an unknown planet that looks as though it is made out of cheese. His latest trick involves putting a "magical cloak" over a giant chinchilla, pouring petrol over the cloak, and setting it on fire with a lit match he pulls out from his ear. While the cloak is burning, Trevor toasts a marshmallow before he extinguishes the fire with a deluge of rain to reveal that the chinchilla is safe and sound, and reduced to the size of a raisin. However, Magical Trevor's audience of chinchillas have been sleeping the whole time, so Trevor writes in his journal to remind himself that chinchillas "sure are" nocturnal. After that, he discovers "World of Leather" (a department store that in reality sells sofas), in which he models a few of the store's leather coats. Near the end, Trevor is wearing a dark black coat, with black makeup and a pale face. His normal silver inscription of "Trev" on his cloak is now black. The backdrop is a graveyard, and the caption exclaims, "Look like a huge Goth!" One of the gravestones behind Trevor appears to read "Beans 2005." As opposed to the earlier Magical Trevors, the animation window is larger and optional subtitles are present. It also elaborates on Trevor's apparent obsession with leather, as exposed in the original Magical Trevor. Still going strong, as of May 2006, Magical Trevor 3 has been viewed approximately 1.72 million times. Magical Trevor external links Magical Trevor 1 Magical Trevor 2 Magical Trevor 3 Magical Trevor Fan Club Site www.MagicalTrevor.Net Kenya The movie Kenya features an upbeat crazy song comparing Kenya favorably to Norway as a tourist destination, pointing out various attractions that are available "only in Kenya." The cartoon begins with a lion with no visible mouth in front of a multi-colored ground. The lion dances in an odd manner by swinging his arms and alternating the feet he is standing on. The words "Only Available in Kenya" flash briefly above the lion. The scene pans to the left to reveal a tiger in the same foreground, who unlike the preceding lion, has whiskers and a mouth but lacks the lion's mane (interestingly, tigers are native to Asia). The tiger dances in the same way as the lion and shares a common orange color with him. After a few moments, the scene zooms out, showing both lion and tiger in the same shot. "Amazing Offer!!" declares a flashing text above them. "Lions and Tigers available for viewing now!" The text is in all capital letters. The scene quickly switches to a small, red map of Norway, with text on the side stating that Norway's population is crab, that it has no tigers or lions, and that its main export is tree. Below this more text declares that "TREE<LIONS=KENYA WINS." It also claims that Norway should be called Snoreway. A new map replaces it shortly afterward, showing the African continent with certain countries colored in and a protruding Kenya. The 3D Kenya moves up and down with the music as an orange dotted line extending from it shows, according to text at the side, the line to ensure the best coverage if Kenya were to urinate all over Norway physically, as well as metaphorically (however, as noted, this is a rare occurrence). The tiger is then shown dancing on a giraffe as the lion, apparently unsuccessfully trying to eat the giraffe, is clamped onto the giraffe's leg with his teeth. The lion and tiger then dance in place, each holding a knife and fork, over an apparently dead zebra while the words "Hurry! Only available while stocks last!" flash above. Then a multicolored map of Kenya shows a few facts about the country and a tiger and two lions dance on the map. The next scene shows three people, two of whom play trumpets and one waving his arms in glee, leaning out of the windows of a bus labeled "Holy crap. Lions! Tours." The cartoon ends with the words "Kenya Believe it! Free snorkel with every visit" on a red background. Like many of Picking's other movies, it is a continuous loop. A Christmas themed version, called Lapland, shows Santa Claus and a snowflake in place of the lion and the tiger, and is set in Lapland. As one cannot make a humorous pun out of the word Lapland as one can with Kenya, the singer notes that there is "not much to do there" in the place of "Kenya Believe it". Despite this, the cartoon notes that Lapland is itself a better tourist destination than Norway (despite the fact that a part of Lapland is in Norway). In one part of this cartoon it is also stated 'If you wanted to open a strip club, Lapland would be a possible name' As of 27 May, 2006, Kenya has been viewed 8.1 million times on the Weebls Stuff website, more than any other Weebls toon. Kenya external links The Kenya cartoon The Lapland cartoon Kenya live - fan-made live version of the cartoon Come to Norway - albinoblacksheep parody of the cartoon, claiming that Norway is better than Kenya Demolition Squid Demolition Squid title Demolition Squid is a trailer for a movie that is "based on a true story" and features "the motion captured performance of Tom Hanks". In the movie, a squid wearing a hard hat uses demolition equipment to defeat his enemies. For example, he "[has] to destroy the orphanage before Hitler Baby can escape" and uses a wrecking ball to demolish the orphanage. He also blows up a woman's house, percieving it as a threat. We find out at the end of the trailer that the buildings are in fact dangerous when a bank rises up off the ground and is revealed to be a monster. Demolition Squid's frequently-used catchphrase is "Oh, Shiiiiiiiit!". Demolition Squid is an obvious parody of the over-the-top action movie trailers which feature an exaggeratedly deep-voiced narrator and cheesy catchphrases or oneliners. The subtitle for the movie is "Calamari Democracy", an obvious reference to the game Katamari Damacy. Demolition Squid's external links Demolition Squid aaaaaahhhhhhhhh AKA: 'The Awful Underexposure Of Sir Cecile LaPointe' Released April 5, 2005 as a joke, at the time there had not been a recent video of decent length. News articles posted on the site claimed the staff had been working on an amazing short. This video was claimed to be that amazing animation, much to everyone's suprise. However, the real animation was Demolition Squid. aaaaaahhhhhhhhh features what appears to be an anthropomorphic strip of bacon along with a huminoid lacking the top part of a skull with a spoon inside of its brain. The exclamation "aaaaaahhhhhhhhh" is then heard in he background with a simple tune. Like many Weebls toons, this one loops. aaaaaahhhhhhhhh external links aaaaaaaaaaaaahaha animation News article Lardman Lardman is a small creature that is simply a lump of lard with eyes and stick figure legs, who has appeared in 2 cartoons and a short made for Picking's 2004 animated advent calendar for Samsung. The main plotline of the cartoons are to prove that his life is an "exciting adventure", but most of the story concern about the title character's uninteresting moments. Lardman 1 The first Lardman episode, created in April 2003, begins with a theme song claiming that his life is an exciting adventure and shows him at the Moon Landing and the Kennedy assassination. Then, in the actual story, he then walks up to an easel indicating there is a talent show, where he stands for a while and then jumps, causing great applause. Dr. Zaius Productions also made a movie based on Lard Man, wherein Lard Man teams up with Galfonga the Warrior to find his brother Butter Boy, who was stolen by the French. This film was accepted with greater praise. Lardman Christmas short The Lardman Christmas short, released on December 10, 2004, begins with a slightly altered theme song, now saying that his life is a "big Christmas adventure" and shows Lardman appearing at the Birth of Christ and sitting on the lap of Santa Claus. The proper story consists of Lardman approaching an easel similar to the one in the original, but now saying that it is a "Xmas Talent Show". Lardman then slips on frozen ice and lands on his side, wriggling his legs and making a squeaky sound. Lardman 2 The second proper Lardman animation appeared in May 2005. It has the same theme music as the original however it now shows him at the elevation of Pope Benedict XVI and a speech by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the story, Lardman approaches an enclosed car where a small dog is panting in the hot sun, so he gallantly intervenes himself between the sun and the dog causing a small amount of shade. Lardman becomes increasingly uncomfortable and begins to melt. After some time elapses, there is nothing left of Lardman but a puddle with his stick figure legs all askew as the car's owner returns and drives off. It is doubtful, however, that Lardman is seriously injured by this occurrence, as he is shown with an arrow sticking into his head in the introductions to both Lardman animations, with no observable consequences. Lardman external links The original Lardman cartoon Lardman's X-Mas Adventure The second Lardman cartoon Patrick Moore (Plays the Xylophone) A paean to British astronomer and national treasure, Sir Patrick Moore. The animation shows him flying through space to play on his xylophone for some dancing Martians. B3ta founder Rob Manuel had the idea behind this cartoon. (Note that Sir Patrick Moore could actually play the xylophone, until arthritis made it impossible.) Patrick Moore external links The Patrick Moore cartoon Breadfish Image:Breadfish The marvelous Breadfish The movie Breadfish features a single underwater scene of fish embedded in loaves of bread drifting past the viewer, and is representative of the many minor cartoons on the site. It too has looping music, but the loop is much shorter than those for the most famous cartoons. It is also reminiscent of the After Dark "flying toaster" screen savers. As of June 2006, Breadfish has been viewed 1.8 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites. Breadfish external links The Breadfish cartoon http://www.breadfish.co.uk/ Mr Stabby Main article: Mr Stabby Mr Stabby was another popular cartoon, created by Jonti Picking and Joel Veitch. The animation features a strange, knife-wielding maniac with ginger hair and beard who uses sharp weaponry to help him in his everyday life. So far, this has included; swimming, shopping, becoming a magician, and becoming a Piercer Scampi The military man from "Scampi" The movie Scampi features a marching man in military garb saying 'I've seen things, I've seen them with his eyes; I've seen things, they're often in disguise', then naming random items such as carrots, handbags and cheese. An image of each (in its appropriate disguise) is given as it is named; the focal item is the city of Kuala Lumpur, whose image is a map of Malaysia on which the city has been re-labelled "France" (Possibly a reference to The Simpsons, when Kent Brockman is struggling with the pronunciation of Kuala Lumpur, and finally says "France"). As with other cartoons on the site, the action is set to looping music. As of September 2005, Scampi has been viewed 4.08 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites. Scampi external links The Scampi cartoon Dugong The Movie Dugong is based off of the mammal of the same name, and features Dugongs wearing top hats. It mentions that it is "The cow of the sea", where a cow from the first Magical Trevor cameos. It also mentions that it is "also known as the manatee"; and that it "doesn't have wings (because that is silly)"; nor does it live in a tree. It also notes that "compared to the dolphin (its very close cousin), it's quite ugly", (actually, dugongs are closer relatives to afrotheres, especially elephants). Dugong external links The Dugong Cartoon Chutney The animation Chutney is a somewhat random Weebl toon, which starts with a skydiver leaping from an airplane proclaiming "Urine!" A fellow skydiver lands alongside and corrects him, saying "I think you mean 'wee'". The first skydiver argues that he "is a big boy now" right before they land on a cloud. The cloud reveals a face and says "BOOM!" in a high-pitched voice. The second skydiver pokes his head above the cloud and into viewing range. "Did this cloud just speak?" he inquires, mere moments before the cloud detonates, killing both men. The cartoon continues with an English lord-like character and a stereotypical Frenchman called Passepartout (possibly a reference to the novel Around the World in 80 Days, where the Frenchman who accompanied Phineas Fogg on his journey was also called Passepartout) on board a hot air balloon that descends into the frame. The English character says "Look at them, they're all dead!" and proceeds to laugh to the point of breathlessness at the skydivers' misfortune. He catches his breath and requests that the Frenchman give him some more tea. The Frenchman tells him that they have run out, and the angry Englishman expresses his disgust with the Frenchman. The Frenchman dropkicks the Englishman at his rude remark. He is ejected from the hot air balloon to the Frenchman's angry cry of "That is for ABBA!", implying that the band are English. Although the Englishman is falling to his death, he swiftly and calmly replies, "They were Swedish!" The Frenchman rolls up his sleeves and journeys to Sweden to fight because of his hatred of the pop group, and is told to join a queue. The animation cuts to two more characters waiting in a queue. One queries if this queue is the line for fighting, and the other replies with the random, "No, this is the line for chutney!" The song of the animation begins and we hear of how mango chutney is a tasty sidedish to poppadoms or your main course. The main chorus involves chants of "Chutney!" with large spinning heads - Jonti Picking's own - acting as background singers. Early in the song, we see the Englishman from the hot air balloon finally fall to the ground, where he is later rescued by an ambulance. After the chorus, the song loops endlessly and the beginning of the animation is not viewed unless the animation is refreshed. Chutney external links The Chutney cartoon Bonjour The animation starts with an animated cartoon Frenchman (obvious since he's wearing a beret as well as a striped shirt) singing "Bonjour, monsieur" over and over again, standing in front of five trees. The music is a simple and uplifting beat with a rapid bass-line. After the Frenchman has sung his tune for a bit, all the while disappearing and reappearing all over the scenery, he disappears and instead a cartoon-version of Elvis appears singing about how he wants some "underpants" and later about the apparent lack of underpants in France, all the while lamenting that lack of underpants in said country. He then reminds the viewer to bring underpants if the viewer ever goes to France. He then disappears and is replaced by the earlier Frenchman singing the chorus, who is also joined by a bird-like creature sitting in one of the trees and singing a high-pitched harmony. For the grande finale the Frenchman shows that he's not wearing any pants at all, in fact he's dangling a cartoon penis in rhythm with the music and singing the same verse as the Elvis-like character from before but claims that "No one in France needs the underpants!". Also, the sky has been replaced with the French flag. Bonjour external link The Bonjour Cartoon Crabs The Crabs animation concerns a bag full of crabs and man who puts all of said crabs in his mouth. He then proceeds to run around town, bleeding profusely, gathering much attention from the locals. During the scat singing section of the song, he begins jumping around to the beat of the music, splattering blood on the ground with each landing. At the end, he remarks "That's how I'll sound with a mouthful of crabs." The music is somewhat different from other Weebl songs, as it has a strong reggae/ska influence in comparison to the usual electro-pop songs of the old. There is also a version of the Crabs song using the same soundtrack, using Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2. This version uses the Headcrab, Dr. Isaac Kleiner and Civil Protection models and the map cs_italy from Counter-Strike: Source. The events in this version are almost identical to the original.
