Weebl's cartoons

Below are descriptions of some, but not all of Jonti Picking's cartoons on weebls-stuff.com . This does not include Weebl and Bob.


Contents

Magical Trevor

The first cartoon 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 stands on a wooden stage next to a cow, before an audience of other cows apathically 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, he can make them reappear. After he does this trick the 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.

At the writing of this article, Magical Trevor has been viewed 3,087,580 times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.

Magical Trevor 2

Magical Trevor 2 begins with Trevor traveling through space in a small space ship called "Trev I" to "Planet Pigeon". He arrives at the planet and appears on a stage in a puff of smoke. Using a piece of rope, he draws a large pigeon (who is inside a box with only its head, feet, and tail exposed) which is on to the stage next to him. He then produces a stick from behind him and saws the pigeon in half with it. The pigeon then defecates on the stage, displeasing Trevor. Behind Trevor a curtain is drawn that they are on Aisle 2 of a supermarket. Aisle 2 has nothing but Ragú tomato sauce on its shelves.

Like its prequel, Magical Trevor 2 has music playing throughout it, and at this point 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.

At the writing of this article, Magical Trevor 2 has been viewed 639,988 times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.

Kenya

The movie Kenya starts with a lion with no visible mouth oddly dancing by swinging his arms and changing the feet he is standing on in front of a multi-colored ground. There is a large tree beside him and a mountain behind him. The ground is sparsely covered with grass and there are no clouds in the light blue sky. The words "Only Available in Kenya" flash briefly above the lion. The scene pans to the left to reveal a dancing tiger in the same foreground, who unlike the preceding lion, has whiskers and a mouth but lacks the lion's mane. The tiger is dancing 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 at the same time. "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 stating to the side that Norway's population is crab, that it has no tigers or lions, and that the main export is tree. It declares 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 beat and a red dotted line extending from it shows, according to text at the side, "the line to ensure the best coverage if Kenya were to physically urinate on Norway." It then shows the tiger dancing on a giraffe and the lion, pointed horizontally, sliding down the giraffe's leg by its mouth. It then shows the lion and tiger dancing in place, both with a knife and fork, dancing over an apperantly dead zebra while the words "Hurry! Only available while stocks last!" flash onto the top. It then shows a multicolored map of Kenya with a few facts about the country beside it and a tiger and two lions dancing on the map. The next scene shows three people leaning out of a bus labeled "Holy crap. Lions! Tours." The toon ends with the words "Kenya Believe it! free snorkel with every visit" on a red background. Like many other of Picking's movies, it a continuous loop.

A Christmas themed version, called Only in Lapland, was made with Santa and a snowflake in place of the Lion and the Tiger, and set in Lapland.

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 that for the most famous cartoons.

At the writing of this article, Breadfish has been viewed 1,081,382 times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.

Scampi

The movie Scampi features a marching person in military garb and wearing a mask naming random items which are said to often be disguised. 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 on which the city has been re-labelled "France". As with other cartoons on the site, the action is set to looping music.

At the writing of this article, Scampi has been viewed 3,751,092 times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.
