Jeremy Hillary Boob, Ph.D., is a fictional character appearing in the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine. He was voiced by Dick Emery and was inspired by Jeremy DuQuesnay Adams, a professor at Southern Methodist University.
In the film, the Beatles, on their way to save the fictitious region of Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, encounter Jeremy, a strange, gopher-like little brown-furred man with a blue face, pink ears and a fluffy, rabbit-like tail. He could possibly be a rabbit or some sort of animal wearing a marionette like mask. He has an extremely eccentric and flamboyant personality. He lives in the Sea of Nothing, also known as Nowhere Land, and speaks mostly in rhyme. He describes himself as an "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too". Jeremy also owns a mysterious purple and green object that can turn from a typewriter to a tree, to an easel, a piano, and numerous other things. He spends the vast majority of his time frenetically creating art, using the various transformations of the object. He is seen carving stone, editing a nearly finished book, composing piano music, and painting in rapid succession.
The band realises that one of their songs sums Jeremy up well and they sing "Nowhere Man" about him as he cavorts with their magic. However, as they prepare to leave, Jeremy realizes how literally empty and lonely his life is and becomes inconsolable. Feeling sorry for him, Ringo Starr offers to take him with them and he gratefully accepts.
