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 "Weebles" 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 [dead link] Trevor [dead link]" song [dead link] cycle [dead link], 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 Hasbro's trademark on Weebles.
