Jibblies

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the running gag. For the toon, see Jibblies 2.

The jibblies occur when something creeps out Strong Bad, such as the Horrible Painting in Strong Mad's Room, the thought of giving The Poopsmith a bath, or even watching Homestar Runner and Marzipan go on a date. In mild cases, Strong Bad shudders and mutters "jibblie". In more severe cases, he will twitch uncontrollably and repeatedly and incoherently say "jibblie". The jibblies can also occur when Strong Bad is "weirded out". In Jibblies 2, it is revealed that the Jibblies don't just affect Strong Bad, but nearly everyone else (including the Horrible Painting itself). Only Homestar and Homsar are known to resist jibblification, Homestar being simply oblivious and Homsar being apparently immune to it.

The Jibblies just missed a place in Strong Bad's "bottom 10", ranking at number 11.
