Gambol is a multimedia franchise invented by SBM/SBC member Kaijusaurus-Rex. Initially starting in summer 2015 as a one off comic entitled "Gambol vs. Homeworld," reception was positive enough to continue it as a long-running series that ran from August 9, 2015 to November 2016. The series revolves around the poorly illustrated, crossover filled adventures of Gambol, a "fair use" parody of Gumball Watterson.

In September 2016, the series made its transition to YouTube, where animated episodes are produced every so often. The first season of videos concluded on August 27, 2018 with a final season consisting of 13 episodes being put into production sometime in 2019. The series is scheduled to conclude with a theatrical film, appropriately titled It's The Theatrical Experience, Gambol Gambolington!

Character Guide

  • Toobiased Weelson: A tryhard whose attempts at being cool often fall flat.
  • Buhnaynay Jew: Talking banana. Always angry for some reason.

  • GWORP: A bizarre robot originally received by Toobiased as an unexpected Christmas gift. Founder of the Screwball Society.
  • FUG: A moronic golden retriever with a special collar who is Gambol's sworn enemu. Both of them appear to have a longstanding rivalry.
  • Neff: Hates living next door to the Wittersans, gets wrapped up in Gambol's scheme of the week due to his incompetence. Introduced in Season 2.

Movies

It's The Theatrical Experience, Gambol Gambolington!

Intended to serve as a series finale and the official retirement of the "Gambol meme," this film would've involved Gambol learning that the entire town of Noobsland is full of copyright-infringing bootlegs and that it's in danger of being erased from the internet due to Article 13's meddling.

Previously, 2015 the idea of a film length animation involving the character was discussed, but ultimately tossed aside due to Kaiju not possessing the right skills at the time. In early 2017, the idea was revived, then titled First Last's Stolen Gumball Clips, it involved a nonsensical roadtrip through the multiverse which would've ended with a battle for the ages. Several drafts and rewrites later, the film was officially put into development hell. It may or may not be revived for the 2020-2021 season, though only time can tell.

Did You Know #7?

  • As of recently, work on the series has slowed down due to Kaiju working on another series, The Blorgz!
  • The first issue of the series was sent to Ben Bocquelet on Twitter. He blocked me right afterwards. #IfYouAreReadingThisSendHLPItsBeen4Years
