The Everyday Happenings of Weebl (and Sometimes Weebl's Friend Bob) (best known as Weebl and Bob) is a Flash cartoon series created by Jonti Picking (Weebl) and co-scripted by Chris Vick (Scoo).
The two main characters, Weebl and Bob, are best friends, but are easily prone to harassing and insulting each other though these insults are mainly directed at Bob. Both characters are egg-shaped creatures with wide mouths that split their heads in half (like South Park's representation of Canadians), and move by rolling, hopping or swaying back and forth. They just mutter and 'talk' in a way that they seem to understand between the two of them. Weebl is the larger of the two, during the series it is revealed that Bob's small stature is due to a cheese overdose in the 1980s. Many of their stories are centred around their love of pie, a devotion shared by most of the other characters in their world—these episodes generally depict one of their several (often failed) attempts to obtain it. We also know that the two characters don't have a house as Weebl sold it to buy a rocket ship. Some episodes are a vehicle to introduce a new character into the storyline, while others are parodies of cultural phenomena, such as Hello Kitty, Japanese karate and ninja movies, '80s anti-drug documentaries, Michael Moore's documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11, Kill Bill, the crime drama CSI: Miami, the iPod "silhouette" ad campaign, the MTV show Pimp My Ride, the game show The Krypton Factor, Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I, the video game Portal, Final Fantasy VII, the Academy Awards and even retailers such as PC World ('Pissy Werld' in the show), IKEA (or 'PIKEA') and Matalan ('Catalan').
