"I'll never forgive the troglodytes who stole the future I EARNED to prolong their worthless existence." - Bob's Twitter, EFAP 61
MovieBob, real name Robert "Bob" Chipman, also known by his villainous alter ego of Diabeto, is a long-time online movie reviewer. Deeper lore has revealed him to be the evil Lovecraftian mastermind of the EFAP series, pulling all of the strings, and sugar, behind the scenes. Alongside Goliath and Captain Marvel, he is one of the series' main antagonists
History[]
PreFAP[]
"Planet Earth, you'd better hope I don't run out of bad movies to take this all out on"
- Bob, EFAP 80
As a kid, he was bullied, which puzzled him because he wasn't even gay or black. In fact, it was often the gay and black kids who bullied him. He admits that bullying made him turn into a "genuine scumbag" in multiple occasions in his past, which he regrets. But he also admits that his whole worldview and psychological profile is colored by the bullying he received, which might have been just other kids calling him a asshole for being an asshole. The bullying is what inspired him to develop his invincible adipose armor and fashion himself after Magneto, as a way to "get back" at those that wronged him and the society that allowed them to do so. According to him, society suppressed his genius because he was superior, and they feared that he would surpass all their pathetic achievements.
Since those times, he has watched bad films constantly to refine his rage in preparation for the day when he rules Earth with an iron fist and a super-sized soda, to make them all pay for it. After all, about 75% of Earth always commit racisms, because well, racism, and deserve to suffer pain (they are just meat and bones after all).[1]
In order to keep him in check, studios create and sacrifice bad films for Bob in a altar. It's the only way, as stopping would only bring the Bob's blue cream.
Bob was also gifted a collection of girls' literature by an older cousin as a child, which he believed gave him an insight into the female brain.
There was another MovieBob before MovieBob, now lost to time, making the Bob we know "MovieBob1"
Foreshadowing[]
When differentiating YouTube reviewers from "traditional" reviewers in EFAP 2, Patrick Willems cited Bob Chipman as an exception, as he is basically a traditional reviewer who turns his written reviews into videos. The boys were baffled that anyone would use MovieBob as a positive example of anything.
Humble Introductions[]
"I hate to keep referencing Patrick Willems as being a superior essayist, but I can understand what Patrick Willems was saying. It was bad but it made more sense."
- MauLer
Bob stepped out of the shadows early on in the EFAP lore in EFAP 6, to bolster the viewpoint pushed by the widely-criticized "Plot Holes Don't Matter" video made by his ally Patrick Willems by making the same points in a more roundabout way. Bob's one-off appearance in Season 1 foreshadowed his much deeper involvement in the Lore that would be unveiled much later on. The video title, "PLOTHOLE SURFERS," was a reference to the band Butthole Surfers, which naturally was noticed by Rags, who added that it was "cuz this movie is ASS." The gang began by giving their initial impressions of Bob, with Wolf reminding them that Patrick Willems respects him for some reason, Rags bringing up that he has unironically supported eugenics, and MauLer bringing up his desire to defeat Nazis at any cost combined with his iffy metric for what constitutes a Nazi. They noted that Bob was recently back with The Escapist, to which Rags commented "Escapist said they want to be apolitical, and so they hired MovieBob." They then started the video, which immediately baffled the cast with the speed at which Bob was talking.
Bob referenced Lindsay Ellis' "negative but thoughtful" review of the live-action Beauty and the Beast film, which criticized the film as a symptom of what she saw as movies being more fixated on explaining away minor plotholes and leaving the rest of story to rot to appease “mechanics-obsessed and trope-obsessed YouTube critics,” instead of deliving a "satisfying and lasting experience," as if the two are mutually exclusive. MauLer commented on the irony of Bob looking down on YouTube critics given that he himself is a YouTube critic, noting that Bob has picked apart Batman V Superman for its plot issues, but would likely see that as okay because he focused on the right issues, similar to how Lindsay's negative review can get a pass from him since she was negative about the right things. Bob claimed that the term "plot hole" has changed from “this doesn’t make sense,” to being used to mean “this no longer makes sense to ME,” the same argument Willems made. He described plot holes, or “movie mistake hunting” as he called them, as being popular because they were an easy shortcut to make “deep and or serious analysis,” letting you break down the film without the hard part of “having to establish a thesis or arrive at a unifying alternate point.” He argued telling someone something they like has several imperfections doesn’t count as a point, to which MauLer asked if that means Bob has no point because he's simply said the plot hole people are wrong. Bob argued that people should do some introspection and not just see things through their own biases, while also only looking things through his own biases, to which MauLer agreed in concept but disagreed with him simply painting people who point out issues in plot as "biased" right off the bat.
Bob differentiated nerdiness as an interest in science from geekiness which he described as "nerdiness for fake things," to which MauLer asked if there is not a process to scriptwriting or filmmaking that could be studied similar to a science. He argued against knowing objective facts about a work of fiction because you can't scientifically deduce whether Superman is stronger than Captain Marvel or Kirk is better than Picard, to which Rags countered you can literally measure the force of a punch, and MauLer added that in some cases you can look at characters' accomplishments and compare them to see who performs better. Bob differentiating real vs imagined plot holes suggests Bob agrees there are objective flaws, which should mean you could make an objective analysis.
Bob claimed that people who look at plot holes try to present themselves as pseudo-intellectuals or film connoisseurs who know better than the average Joe, but miss the point of the movies, as successful movies focus on emotion and not logic (leading one to question what Bob's metric is for successful), since humans are emotional and not logical, to which Rags countered that humans are logical though, just not perfectly so, and even if they are following their own flawed logic it is logical to them. Bob recounts how he remembers the horrible days of IMDb plot hole lists, on which Titanic was the biggest page because it was popular. to which MauLer responded that it made sense that would be the case because popular movies can be good examples to use to talk about writing because people will likely know what you're referencing, whereas if you talk about an obscure film people haven't seen they will just have to take your word for it. and bringing up an issue in a movie someone likes can lead to interesting discussion - the question of "could Jack have actually floated on that door?" created so much discussion as to eventually make its way to an episode of Mythbusters. Bob then supported his claim that logic doesn't matter by countering the criticism of Titanic... with logic, then did the same with Indiana Jones, then The Last Jedi, arguing that the mistakes arose from the characters being young, emotional, and inexperienced, to which Rags joked that Holdo, Leia, Luke, and Snoke must have done what they did because they're young. MauLer pointed out that Bob himself was picking apart people's arguments the way that they picked apart the movies, and in the process picking apart the details of those movies, just in a positive way.
Bob concluded that people present their subjective opinion as objective so they don't have to risk their feelings being out there for scrutiny, going even further as to say that they know these opinions would be "called out as reactionary or worse," claiming that at their worst these movie reviews are "literally murdering the concept of culture.” Bob, who himself regularly injects his own politics into his reviews, mocked the idea that a movie's issues could come from secret hidden agenda while accusing other reviewers of having secret hidden agendas, portraying them as believing that "Feelings are for SJWs!!!!" He parodied this "dastardly rhetorical slight of hand” with a parody of "the dumbest shit on youtube" (including a renamed MauLer, Wolf, and PewDiePie) where a Sargon stand-in injects a sexism into other, real criticism, leading the gang to ask if this meant Bob at least considered those other criticisms valid. Bob then did the same with a MauLer stand-in, where he mixed direct quotes from MauLer's Black Panther review with a claim that racism doesn't exist, which MauLer never said, which if anything should act as proof that MauLer's video does not actually do the thing Bob says he does, since Bob had to invent it. Bob followed this slandering of other movie reviews as racist and sexist with the assurance that there's no wrong way to watch movies, an odd thing to say given that this whole video was a defense of Patrick Willems' video that stated people were watching movies wrong.
MauLer let out a "Oh thank Christ, we're done," the second Bob's video ended. He said a lot that means very little, using odd phrasings like "an unsubtle thematic intent" that lead Rags to describe him as having swallowed a thesaurus. His video editing style, with images flashing in and out at a mile a minute, and his rapid line delivery gave Wolf such a headache that he died halfway through the stream (he got better).
on Bones and Meat[]
the gang read a Tweet from Bob reading “I’ve found a closed fist to be a solid place to start, though there’s plenty of variety beyond that””at the end of the day, they’re just bones and meat, and sufficiently cowed, most will stifle before you have to break any of that- so long as they’re convinced you would”
Defending the Sacred Cow, with the Power of the Metanarrative[]
"TRUST THE BOB"
EFAP 49 saw a long-awaited return to Bob with his more direct defense of The Last Jedi. MauLer, Al, and Fortea had previously looked at this video back during the days of the Screen Tear Podcast, but it was time to make it known to EFAP, challenging himself, Rags, Metal, JLongbone, and a freshly joined CJ to see how long they could go without needing to pause to take in what Bob was even saying, though they quickly came to learn his speech could only be understood at 0.5x speed. Bob's video, "WHY THE LAST JEDI IS A LOVE LETTER TO STAR WARS," began with a "Previously on" segment of him claiming Luke Skywalker most resembled King Arthur, and alluding to King Arthur having a similar fate as Luke did in the Last Jedi, to which Rags specified that the story is called "The Once and Future King" because it is implied that Arthur will return one day and take the throne again, unlike Luke. Metal was put off by Bob using his own face as a reaction image, and similarly confused by the frame around his video having "IN BOB WE TRUST" stamped on it in two separate places, with CJ noting that his Patreon linked to a "MovieBob1," implying there was another MovieBob before him.
Bob disagreed with Last Jedi fans and detractors alike that the film is anti-nostalgia, instead seeing it as a turning point that frees up lot of possibilities, and the trilogy as a whole as a "metanarrative jaysoned to fanbase." After about 3 minutes of rambling on, which led CJ to question why all this analysis was being done over a Movie About Space Wizards Intended for Children, Bob finally got to his point - that Rey and Kylo are both meant to be Star Wars fans, Rey a good one and Kylo a toxic one. He described Kylo as a Vader cosplayer, and his crossguarded saber and the First Order's derivative designs were meant to resemble cringe fan designs, which CJ found amusing that the defense of the designs being shit was that they were purposefully shit. Rey similarly knows all about the good guys from having lived in an AT-AT and collected old Rebellion paraphernalia, he argued, raising the question of how that was the case when she thought Luke was a myth and all she knew about Han Solo was that he was a smuggler, which Rags compared to a Vietnam War enthusiast not knowing the Vietnam War had happened. It pissed Bob off that people considered Rey a Mary Sue, since Mary Sue is meant to describe a self-insert character who is competent with no explanation, whereas Rey has the explanation of growing up collecting trinkets from the Original Trilogy, to which Rags asked if that meant the American Pickers would similarly be able to build all of the things that they find while picking. Bob doubted that Rey's feats were even all that impressive, recalling she merely performed “ themost obvious use of mind trick,” raising the question of what was obvious about randomly believing you can mind-control people, and beat one wounded guy in a swordfight who was "kind of a weiner" anyway. Rags corrected that that "weiner" had been trained to swordfight his whole life and belonged to an ideology that taught to take strength from pain, and Metal added that he was powerful enough to stop lasers in midair. Bob figured switching from a stick to a sword was no bigger a leap than switching from the Star Wars equivalent of a hobby plane to a fighter jet, which everyone disagreed with, Rags stating it stands to reason the controls for ships would be standardized and MauLer adding a more direct comparison would be Luke flying an X-Wing in a straight line vs Rey immediately mastering control of the Millennium Falcon, something Luke never did. Bob concluded Rey is so good at Star Wars stuff since she is a Star Wars fangirl, to which Metal, a wrestling fan, made it known that he could not wrestle.
Bob compared Rey meeting Luke to a fan meeting an actor and pestering them to reprise an iconic role, with Luke behaving like an actor who is disenfranchised with the role because it led to toxic fans like Kylo. Bob clarified that the movie was siding with Rey, however, and MauLer agreed but took issue with how it got to that point, with Luke's reasoning behind his beliefs being lackluster and Rey having no reason to be so invested in the Jedi she only just learned were real. The gang found Bob's claim that Rey is what convinced Luke to change odd since his encounter with Rey was what spurred Luke to burn everything down until Yoda showed up, but Bob had accounted for that and explained that Rey was just the first push and Yoda needed to drive the message home by symbolically burning down the temple, which he did by actually burning down the temple. Rey of course took the Jedi texts with her because she is a Star Wars fan, and like any fan tries to make her own fanfiction by redeeming the “sensitive bad boy” Kylo, who MauLer recalled had murdered her surrogate father less than a day ago. This point was punctuated by a meme of Lisa Simpson pining over a screenshot of Kylo without a shirt, ending with a clip of Rey igniting her saber. Concerned for the wellbeing of the Tit Monster that Luke left behind, Voxis joined the stream, in time to hear Bob call Luke's "good gag" of faking out the First Order representative of his legendary status as a hero he may not have ever actually lived up to, an odd description to have of the man who literally saved the galaxy from an evil empire. Bob concluded that not Luke the man but Luke the idea saves everyone, MauLer finding that description generous since Luke just shows up and the others intuit that he's buying them time to escape, when they have no actual means to escape until Rey arrives unrelated and frees them. Bob also managed to bigbrain interpret that Kylo was defeated by a "motion picture" of Luke, inspiring the galaxy all over again because apparently saving them from an evil empire needed to be bolstered by him faking out some soldiers for a minute.
Bob's massive takes proved too much for both Voxis and CJ, who left just in time for Jay to take their place, getting to witness Bob call the scene of the slave children on Canto Bight symbolically play with Star Wars toys "now-famous," prompting him to ask what had happened between the release of the film and now that made that scene more famous than it was. Jay was willing to agree with Bob that the children recreating Luke's final scene had a pro-Star Wars message, but took issue with the execution. At this point JLongbone was also killed by Bob's video, the last minute of which was just a plug for Bob's other videos on Geek.com, where he was listed as bchipman, which MauLer chose to read as BC Hipman
The Joker War[]
"It has nothing of meaning to say, and yet it won't shut up" - Bob, calling the kettle black
Bob against his makeshift greenscreen, presumably painted by Bob himself
MovieBob's next big move was to discredit the film that those on the wrong side of history were praising - Joker. EFAP 57 had MauLer, Rags, Drinker, Weekend Warrior, and Doomcock witness Bob's first Joker review, an eight and a half-minute video with about two minutes of intro, made so long by the oddly-long title card following a prologue comedy skit, which the gang noticed took place in front of a wall, door, door handle, and light switch that were painted entirely green, in an apparent attempt to turn them into a greenscreen. Bob's jack-o'-lantern shirt led to a brief disagreement between Rags and Weekend over wearing blazers with T-shirts, foreshadowing their later "book look" argument in EFAP 104. Despite not wanting to talk about Joker beyond a jab at director Todd Phillips' social media since the film would be forgotten in two weeks, Bob went on to describe Joker as an empty, unoriginal mashup of about twenty other movies and comic panels comparable to a T-shirt of the Scarface poster with Vegeta on it (two franchises are mashed together but have no deeper symbolic relation behind the mashup), fast-forwarding through the plot synopsis that would actually hold some of the substance he said it lacked and not saying what elements it took from those media, leading the gang to question if it is even a ripoff at all if it draws from so many inspirations. His recounting of the plot of the film was lackluster, describing Arthur shooting the three men who were in the middle of assaulting him as merely "losing his cool," nitpicking the idea that someone could "go viral" (have a video of him looked at on a talk show) in the 80s, and chalking up Arthur looking for a father figure in Thomas Wayne and Murray to just being an excuse to make Batman references, considering the movie to be full of sequel bait. Bizarrely, he figured that the theme of the movie was that all of your problems were probably caused by a woman. Bob's skimming over the content of Joker was in stark contrast to his Last Jedi analysis, which squeezed as much deeper meaning as possible out of it. Even Bob could not deny that Joaquin Pheonix' performance was good, however, and similarly begrudgingly called the film well-made, "I guess." He ended his review by saying Joker had nothing much to say but would not shut up, an ironic accusation coming from him. After watching this video, Drinker theorized that Bob was Mundane Matt ten years in the future.
Disavowal of EFAP[]
Bob was asked on Twitter whether he would ever go on EFAP, and he likened a conversation with them to a dead tree with termites in it, going on to say he would never because he does not want to legitimize the heinous comments they made about one Jenny Nicholson.
The J*ker War Continues and the Unveiling of Diabeto[]
"If Joker does have a coherent thematic or moral arc to call its own- it doesn't but if it did- it would boil down to Fleck's journey of self-actualization through realizing that while society can be tough, the real cause of your problems is probably a woman"
MovieBob in a gelatinous cube, by the artist Commissioner Mimic
Just over two weeks after his first Joker video, Bob ended up making a second video about the movie he said everyone would forget about in two weeks, and so the boys, ThatStarWarsGirl, and JLongbone came together in EFAP 61 to hear Bob ask, "Is Joker Actually 'About' Anything?" Before the video started, Wolf theorized that Bob lived inside of a gelatinous cube, and Bob's choice of intro music gave away Bob's alter ego of Detective Joe "Dick" Hamhock. Of course, Detective Hamhock himself had his own alter ego, and after Wolf commented that a diabetic superhero would be a victory for diversity, MauLer pieced together that he was actually the supervillain Diabeto, the man who commands all sugar. Bob's claim that Joker was released without any competition led them to look up films released at the same time, one of which being Abominable, which led to talking about the abundance of yeti/sasquatch movies in recent years, including Chill Out, Scooby Doo!, which led to a discussion of which Hex Girl everyone would bang, which was all much more interesting than what Bob was saying. Chat brought up the time one of the Hex Girls tried to get with Scooby Doo when he was turned into a human, and JLongbone's description of Human Scooby as looking "like a Jewish penis" led to Chat dubbing him Scooby Jew - this was also far more interesting than what Bob was saying. Bob claimed that nobody should be surprised that a movie about a popular comic book character making a billion dollars, despite having previously celebrated Captain Marvel's billion dollar box office when it came out between two Avengers films. Bob countered the idea that negative press claiming the movie potentially causing shootings was drummed up by left-wing journalists by pointing out that left-wing activist Michael Moore (complete with Team America charicature) enjoyed the movie, then criticized Moore for saying we should try to find out why mass killers become the people they become, because we should instead simply accept it's because they're racist, ignoring that this would just kick the can down the road and raise the question of why they became racist. He also found it ironic that Moore could recommend the movie because Todd Phillips has said before that "woke culture" led to him stopping making comedies, and Moore has stated he doesn't like those types of jokes, meaning he can't like any of Phillips' non-comedies.
Bob claimed the movie has several points that come off as extremely dumb that clash with its serious tone, but did not elaborate much on that. His misremembering the order of events in the movie also contributed to him misunderstanding characters' motivations, like thinking Thomas Wayne ran for mayor because of the killings Arthur committed when he was already running before. Bob concluded that Joker portrayed everything that happened to Arthur as being his mother's fault, and therefore the message is every problem someone could encounter is a woman's fault, leading the roster to imagine all of the various other men and women in the movie who wrong Arthur as being secretly paid off by his mother. Bob seemed to prefer finding the catch-all explanation for what was going on in the film than looking at the various factors that contributed to Arthur's worsening situation. He concluded that the movie feels and looks like it has something to say sometimes, but it isn’t and doesn't, and the movie's music, plot, and commentary are not supported by strong theme, because he couldn't find one. Bob argued that we don’t know what "not broken" in the Joker's world means, so being fixed doesn’t tell us about what it would be like if it were to be fixed.
He criticized the movie taking place in the 80s because according to him being put on seven medications at once in the 80s would put someone in a coma, and people tended not to "go viral" by having clips of them played on TV, meaning that such a thing would be impossible. He also claimed the sociopolitical climate of the 80s would not fit the film, since people tended not to protest in large crowds before the 2000s, and therefore such a thing is impossible, and the protests that did happen tended to be about race rather than class, meaning it is impossible to protest about class. Ignoring the state of mental healthcare and lack of government funding in the 80s that influenced the film's story, Bob concluded that the 80s backdrop was purely aesthetic, and naturally went to the tried and true criticism of the movie just aping Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, but argued that the movie also doesn’t understand the substance of what it's borrowing.
The Rise of Skywalker - Consooming What None Else Dare Consoom[]
On EFAP 67, Bob stepped up to the plate to review and defend a piece of media that not even the other Massives could defend - Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, assuring everyone that the movie is "fine," praising the side characters and the chemistry between Rey and Kylo Ren. He found the movie is to be overall dynamic and he liked it just on the superficial level, meaning the nostalgia. He argued that the messiness of the sequel trilogy is the result of the game of hot potato of between directors and the decision to make trilogy one movie at the time, not the fact that there was no overarching idea, just. He also put forth that it was not obvious if JJ Abrams liked changes the The Last Jedi made to the trilogy's plot or not. He lamented that before you could just watch a movie without people caring about your opinion was, then expressed that he found people that had the opinion of hating The Last Jedi annoying.
Bob's video also had metal music in its intro and outro, leading the gang to wonder if Bob thinks of himself as "hardcore."
MovieBob or a Nazi?[]
During EFAP 73, MauLer, Rags, Jay, Metal, and Al took a quiz where the goal was to determine whether a given quote came from MovieBob or from a Nazi. It was very difficult.
The MovieBob Challenge[]
The Tweet that started it all
MovieBob quote-tweeted a viral tweet of a photo of four McDonalds double cheeseburgers, two large fries, 20 McNuggets, and four large sodas with the caption, "Somebody offers you $3,500 to finish everything on this tray in 90 minutes. Could/would you do it?" and described the pictured meal as "a fairly small amount of McDonalds for an average-sized person," to the bewilderment of average, below-average, and above-average-sized people across the globe. The challenge outlined in the original Tweet was dubbed The MovieBob Challenge, and both That Star Wars Girl and MetalCommander tried and failed to complete it.
Endorsement of Magneto[]
MauLer, Rags, PSA Sitch, and Adam Friended received a very telling insight into Bob's worldview in EFAP 80 when they looked at an old video of his titled "Magneto Was Right." This is where the bulk of their understanding of Bob's youth comes from. It also confirms the connection EFAP had made between Cinema Roberto and his alter ego Diabeeto, showing them how Bobberts mask was off years ago.
Halloween Theft at the Hands of Donald Trump[]
In October 2020, MovieBob, firm believer in the idea that any white man can get a job by just putting on a tie, took to Twitter to lament how United States President Donald Trump stole his summer, his Halloween, and four years of his happiness, and that the people who helped him steal the presidency (this was written before claiming that a presidential election was stolen was deemed incitement of violence) ruined his career years before, from which is he only just now recovering.
Let go by The Escapist[]
TBA
Disavowal by Lindsay Ellis[]
On Twitter, Lindsay Ellis responded in agreement to a tweet saying it is not scandalous for peers who make political content to be friends with each other and interact privately. Bob added onto this sentiment by posting a selfie of him and Lindsay at a convention together. Ellis, not wanting it to appear that she supported Bob's toxicity, told Bob that taking a selfie at a convention years ago does not constitute friendship, and that her ignoring his emails and softblocking him six times should have tipped him off to take the hint. Bob ended up privating his account for a short time afterward.
A Young Bob Discovers Racism 2[]
"Proud to be an American, prouder to be an American geek" - Bob's old tagline
Bobo the Caffinated [sic] Chipmunk, who speaks on Bob's behalf when Bob is unable
Bob's portrayal of the end goal of reading Judy Blume, which sparked a conversation on cuckoldry and voyeurism.
"Let me explain something about white people..."
In EFAP 111, the gang took a look back at a younger Bob, who fittingly sounded exactly like his current self but with a higher voice. The video "GAME OVERTHINKER V23" has Bob recount the controversy surrounding Resident Evil 5 having the player character, who is white, kill African Tribe zombies, but not only them, African Zombies "wearing grass skirts and throwing spears at you", in Africa, or as he put it, "dirt poor African villagers" (he mentions that they are poor before that they are zombies), as opposed to the previous Resident Evil games, which only allowed you to kill non-African zombies outside of Africa. He went on to accuse the game of only including "affirmative-action hire" Sheva Alomar to hide their racism, and further criticized them for having a tribal-looking two-piece outfit as an unlockable outfit for her as even more racist, as gamer's love strong women, especially ones with "exhibitionist streak". he is angry at Capcom for doing this as he talked back towards the haters, telling them to not Judge the game before it is out, as the context would explain everything. But now he found out that the game is full of "ludicrously outdated stereotypes", which sets back gaming being considered an art-form for decades.
Bob doesn't attributed these transgressions to racism, but to something even worse (since racism is conscious thing person does and could be unlearned), but then interjected with a "Bobo The Overcaffeinated Chipmunk", representative of himself, telling an anecdote about how his cousin gave him girls' books like those by Judy Blume when he was a child, but assured the audience that it was actually manly because reading books made for a female audience could allow one to understand the female brain. He accompanied this claim with his own stick figure drawings of himself (presumably as a child or teenager) performing various sex acts, the last of which being him filming two women having sex with each other. The gang wondered aloud whether this counted as cuckoldry, but concluded that it was actually just voyeurism, and the discussion they had on sexual terminology was far more interesting than whatever Bob was saying.
Bob finally went back to revealing what it was that he considered even worse than racism: unconscious racism. According to him, Capcom (a Japanese company) had fallen into the trap that many white people fall into of assuming that white people are the default "normal" race, like Judy Blume novels the female character wonders why her African and Asian friends are dressing up for Halloween as "they already are something". Bob equates this to thinking black guy dressing as vampire being as weird as vampire dressing up as anything, saying its a "Quaintly true image".
The gang also deduced that Bob is the evil alternate universe version of a good Bob, which is why he has a goatee.
Victory Against Lindsay Ellis[]
"#BobWins"
- Twitter hashtag
Lindsay Ellis was canceled on Twitter by people who accused her of being racist against Asians because she said Raya and the Last Dragon was similar to Avatar The Last Airbender, triggering a chain reaction of old tweets being dug up and leading to her temporarily deactivating her Twitter account. Many people who remembered Bob's cancellation as a result of his interactions with Lindsay took this as a symbolic victory for Bob, with the hashtag #BobWins. Lindsay would go on to release a longman video on the topic of "canceling," admitting that she had been lying before when she said it did not exist and/or that it was only done by right wingers, and knew a great many left-wingers who were worried about being canceled by their own audience but stayed silent about it because they didn't want to admit that they agreed with right-wingers about anything. In this same video Lindsay apologized to Bob for calling him creepy and inappropriate, not because he wasn't creepy and inappropriate, but because some of the people who found it funny that she called him out were what she called "diet Nazis," and she wouldn't want to give those people a victory.
on Spider-Man No Way Home[]
video was not the usual kind, as Bob didn't make as many bizarre points or rants, making the video disappointing
on Superhero Fatigue[]
"But that's not fatigue, that's changes in cultural positioning across the chronological passage of time"
TBA
Physical Appearance[]
In contrast with MauLer's length, MovieBob is large in every dimension, forming an almost spherical man. Despite this physical massivity, Bob also has a somewhat gaunt looking face. Bob also has very short black hair and some sort of facial hair, and regularly sports either sunglasses or regular eyeglasses. He is a good case for blazers over T-shirts being a Book Look.
When Bob is operating under his villainous alter ego of Diabeto, he dons a costume that resembles the Marvel Comics character Magneto, though sometimes he has to put a birthday cake on his head in place of an actual helmet.
In his Joe Hamhock persona, Bob dresses as a private eye, though he moves around on a mobility scooter, and uses a reach extender to grab things out of his arms length. He still wears his shades.
As Mind Blob, he encases himself inside a gelatinous cube to strengthen his diabetic powers. He may or may not have clothes on, as he wouldn't want to clean them (he still wears a loincloth to cover himself)
Clones[]
Over the years, Bob became so large that his body separated into two to compensate and this continued on and on as his clones became larger and split into more Bobs. This is the origin of all Bob's known personas, as they are all separate entities. The Mind Blob was the original Bob and became the galaxy brain by eating his clones, adding their mental strength to his own (gaining weight means you’re growing your brain), eventually gaining power of the Blue Cream, allowing him to absorb more beings and gain their strength. A possible, less developed, clone could be YouTuber TheMetalBlade5, who has a history of taking his opinions too seriously even to the point of making things up about his opponents. But when confronted, he claims they are harassing him
Powers and Abilities[]
"You've been drinking a lot of soda pop, haven't you?"[2]
As a YouTuber, Bob is like a hydra; a creature of YouTube that never leaves, as when he think you killed him, he grows another head and comes back. A being caked in his own worldview, hidden under the gelatin so he can't confront opposing opinions.
- Rapid Ramble - Diabeto speaks his words so fast that he causes extreme headaches[2] to enhance this, he has mastered the use of "Vapid Verbose", making him able to confuse people with his wordschoices, so they have to listen to him more than once to understand his point, doubling the chance of headaches.
- Metanarrative - Through the power of the Metanarrative, Bob can make any movie mean any thing, but only if he deems it worthy. With the power of Meta-narrative, he can also interpret himself to be alive when he dies, which is how he has managed to stay around for so long
- Donut Roundabout - Due to his immense roundness, bob can just roll after people that offend him, but he only does when his scooter breaks down
- Blue-cream - he can generate blue gelatinous flood that envelopes everything in its path, transforming any person into clone of Bob.
