The Barney Bunch (fictional)
- This article is about the fictitious Barney Bunch that appears in videos. For the real-life group of users that created them, see The Barney Bunch.
|
The Barney Bunch are a group of TV characters, video game characters, and mascots turned homosexual deviants led by Drew Pickles. Stationed in Drewland, they specialize in having swell orgies and turning every single thing they come across very swell. Sometimes they change things up by going on wacky adventures and occasionally saving Drewland from various threats. They also have numerous rivals (sometimes allies given the circumstances), many of which include the Pubic Family, Yogi Bear, the Betty Bunch, the Humongous Bunch, the Ketchum Klan, and the Repulsa Republic.
Members
Below is a list of Barney Bunch members who have made numerous appearances in videos over the years. Please note that we are listing characters who have made more than one appearance in videos.
Founding Four
- Drew Pickles
Main article: Drew Pickles
Drew Pickles is the most homosexual man in the entire universe and the leader of the group. He is also the most popular character within the Speakonia Community. He has a mastadonic 300-mile-long penis and enjoys going to random establishments to make them swell, doing random and simple tasks (often failing or dying in the process), and having orgies with his Barney Bunch butt buddies. He is voiced primarily by Microsoft Sam, though earlier appearances had him use the Adult Male #1 voice, and in “Drew Pickles Gets Even Gayer” he was strangely voiced by Adult Male #1 British English.
- Barney
Main article: Barney
Barney the Triple Testicle Dildosaur is Drew's fatass husband with a massive ballsack, which has 3 testicles (he had 4 of them, but one of them became Grimace). While the group is named after him, he is not the leader but rather their mascot, and mostly serves as Drew's closest companion, though he is often punished for the most trivial things or for getting in Drew's way, likely a nod to how the Vyond/GoAnimate community always depicts preschool show characters getting grounded. Barney's voice is infamously inconsistent, with many using Adult Male #4 or Microsoft Mike (as it sounds very close to Barney's actual voice), as well as Microsoft Sam on the lowest pitch.
- Ronald McDonald
Man article: Ronald McDonald
Better known as the Penis Clown, Ronald McDonald is a crazed fast food mascot clown who loves making poopy cummy cheeseburgers and other swell food and serves them to people, especially his butt buddies. Despite his apparent insanity (in reference to the Japanese Ronald McDonald remixes), he is also one of the more rational members of the group, helping out Drew in any manner, whether it's talking about various closing logos, or dealing with unswellness in Drewland. Ronald's main voice is Adult Male #1, but some videos, mainly by IronYoshi1212, as well as many Blood-style videos, tend to use Microsoft Mike.
- Dick the Clown
Main article: Dick the Clown
Dick the Clown is Ronald McDonald's brother who is as mysterious as he is recognizable. While not as successful as his more famous brother, he was crucial in the founding of the Barney Bunch and went on to be a staple character. His origin wasn’t identified until 2022, when it was revealed that he was a painting by artist Sherry Page. After Dick became a popular meme within the young community, Page deleted her entire online presence. Dick is voiced by Adult Male #2, possibly in reference to Ronald using the Adult Male #1 voice in some videos, though in some cases, he is voiced by Microsoft Sam, usually in videos by Justice Seeker or some of the old Newgrounds flashes, or Microsoft Mike, usually in Blood-style videos.
Major and Recurring Members
- The Quaker Queer
Main article: Quaker Queer
Better known as Cum Oats, the Quaker Queer is an old-fashioned chap who loves making swell oatmeal out of bodily fluids and wastes. He's also well known for having a penis made entirely out of wood and for being one of the first members introduced onto YouTube by community member swellronald. Originally he was meant to be bisexual/pansexual, but this idea was later scrapped. He’s the second oldest Barney Bunch member only behind Barney himself. Chuckie Finster has a fear of him, in reference to Rugrats lore. The Quaker Queer used the Adult Male #1 or #2 voices in earlier videos, but many members began using the Daniel UK voice for him in later videos, a voice that actually isn't a part of Speakonia.
- Chaz Finster
Main article: Chaz Finster
Chaz "The Fister" Finster is Drew's favorite butt buddy second only to Barney. He is treated as Drew's personal butt monkey and always gets random things shoved up his ass, causing his jaw to partly decapitate and utter Tom’s iconic scream in the Newgrounds Flash animations (most notably by SovietBarney). He is usually voiced by Adult Male #1, made popular through bigboyrats' Speakonia dubs, though Adult Male #3 and Microsoft Mike are sometimes used, the latter is usually used in Blood style videos.
- The Wiggles
Main article: The Wiggles
This musical group of swell Australian men are the Bunch's most unhinged members and on the same level that Drew is in terms of swellness, despite not being as gay as him. They would eventually branch off into their own videos and be very popular with the high-ranking members of the Speakonia Community during the mid to late 2010s, but would later fall back into obscurity. A canon explanation for this (according to IronYoshi) is that the Wiggles conquered Drewland for a brief time and were later punished after Drew sealed them away in a box, and they’re only released when threats arrive in Drewland. Despite not being as popular as they once were, they still remain fan favorites. Their voices tend to change, usually switching back and fourth from a deep-pitched Microsoft Sam to Mike on the fastest speed, though in IronYoshi's videos, each Wiggle is given a different voice.
- Clifford
Main article: Clifford
Clifford is a big red dog with an even bigger red rocket and the largest BB member in size. He was another original member, being used as early as the Newgrounds era in 2005, and although he’s not as famous as Drew, Barney, Ronald, and Dick, he still stuck around nonetheless. His voice fluctuates between Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mike, mostly on the deepest pitch.
- Ned Flanders
Main article: Ned Flanders
Best known for being Homer's friendly Christian neighbor in The Simpsons, Ned is actually a well-known member of the Bunch. He is stated to be a priest at the Church of Swellness, in reference to how he is notoriously evangelical in the actual Simpsons cartoon (due to his character being butchered in the later episodes, in a trope that would be named after him called Flanderization). His voice is usually Microsoft Mike, though sometimes provided by Adult Male #2.
- Arthur
Main article: Arthur
Arthur "Loves Cocks" Read is an aardvark who is often referred to as the Bunch's sex hamster. He is also another Barney Bunch member who was used during the Newgrounds era and remained popular enough to be used throughout the community's career on YouTube. He is a favorite of Blood, who, along with the Wiggles, is used a lot in his videos. He is sometimes accompanied by Buster “the Ball Busting” Baxter. His voice is primarily provided by Adult Male #3, though on certain occasions Microsoft Sam or Mike are used for Blood-style videos.
- Captain Crunch
Main Page: Captain Crunch
Captain Crunch is the swellest butt pirate to ever sail the Seven Swell Seas. He is a frequent butt buddy to the Quaker Queer, a likely nod to the fact that the Quaker Oats company manufactures the Cap'n Crunch cereal. He was introduced into the bunch by YTComedyChannel365. He is voiced by Adult Male #2 with a low pitch, though Adult Male #8 is sometimes used.
- Nigel Thornberry
Main article: Nigel Thornberry
The most smashing zoologist ever, and the host of the popular Nigel's Wild Beasts, where he likes to go around eating the scat of all the swell animals. He was made popular through SovietBarney's videos, though he's rarely used. His voice is Adult Male #1 British English in contrast to him having a similar voice in the actual Wild Thornberrys cartoon.
- Stu Pickles
Main article: Stu Pickles
Drew's younger brother was originally a part of the Barney Bunch during its early years, but he would later be characterized as a bisexual foot lover and a member of the sometimes ally/sometimes rival group the Ketchum Klan. Many veteran members of the community still consider him a part of the Bunch, however. He is voiced by Adult Male #7 with a low pitch, made popular by bigboyrats, though Adult Male #3 and Microsoft Mike are also used, the latter of which is common in many Blood-style videos.
- Lou Pickles
Main article: Lou Pickles
The father of both Drew and Stu, and the former gayest man in the world. He was a fairly common staple of the community, mostly through bigboyrats' dubs, but he has made a few scattered appearances throughout Barney Bunch content. Sometimes he is depicted as being the leader of the off-branch group known as the Senior Barney Bunch, though that group is almost never used. Lou's voice tends to fluctuate between Adult Male #4, 5, and 6.
- Drew Pickles Jr.
Main article: Drew Pickles Jr.
Drew Pickles Jr. is the son of Drew Pickles and Barney, first appearing in a 2007 Sammy t3h Snake video where he is represented by a stock photo of a child holding a Barney plush. MisterBadBarney would redesign him with his depiction being that of Barney’s head crudely placed on Drew’s body, going under the name P. Lo P. In 2017, SwellFusion would redesign him once again, depicted as Drew's head with a slightly longer nose and with Barney's body, though with a darker shade of purple. Since then, he has become widely accepted by the community, and even being one of the main characters in numerous videos. He is voiced mainly by Microsoft Sam on the highest pitch, with Adult Male #2 being his first voice in the Sammy t3h Snake video.
- Caillou
Main Article: Caillou
Introduced during the early YouTube era, Caillou has been a Barney Bunch member since, and though not commonly used, he would often tag along with the Barney Bunch whenever they go anywhere. Outside the Barney Bunch, he along with other preschool characters who are Barney Bunch members have been the main subject for Grounded videos, or even Punishment Day videos, and the character himself was well known for being a punching bag for the Vyond/GoAnimate community. Bizarrely enough, he's voiced by Adult Male #1 British English, though in the show, he had a high-pitched voice. It's possible that British English was used as his voice in contrast to Quebecers having a similar voice to the Adult Male #1 British English voice.
- Melvin Butlers/Gurio Umino
Main Article: Gurio Umino
Originating from Sailor Moon, he's the smart stereotypical nerd who was a classmate of Sailor Moon, Although he doesn’t appear as much compared to other BB members, he was still prominently used in Blood-style videos by Speakonia Community members, mainly Skewt and MrSpike. He's voiced by Microsoft Mike, although sometimes, Adult Male #1 or #3 are used.
- The Teletubbies
Main Article: The Teletubbies
Consisting of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, the Teletubbies have been around since the Newgrounds era of the Barney Bunch, though their roles have decreased over the years. They use their TV screen stomachs to screen gay porn on them, and their antenna can be used as dildis. Although Po and Laa-Laa are female in the show, some community members changed them to become males (or trans-males), while others just let Po and Laa-Laa become Betty Bunch members while Tinky Winky and Dipsy stay Barney Bunch members, making their roles/lore in the Barney Bunch inconsistent and messy. Community member RoboticBloxxer has stated that they are his favorite BB members. They used a lot of different Speakonia voices, ranging from Microsoft Sam, Mike, Mary, the Adult Male, and Female voices, and out of all Barney Bunch members, they take the place for most voices used for not just a character, but a group of characters.
- Howard DeVille
In keeping with the tradition of making every Rugrats father really really gay, Howard "The Dialdoh" DeVille joins the ranks and makes infrequent appearances, while his wife Betty DeVille runs the on and off ally/rival Betty Bunch. He’s also the only Rugrats father to not appear in the reboot, since BB lore states that he was shoved up Drew’s ass, taking his nickname “The Dialdoh” literally. In Hydreigon’s “Drew Pickles and the Barney Bunch go to The Emoji Movie” and subsequent videos, he was strangely referred to as “The Lolicon” which breaks his character in terms of gayness, since "lolicon" refers to young anime girls (although this may be unintentional, and just an error), and was only switched to "The Dialdoh" by IronYoshi later on because, according to him, it sounded much funnier. Howard's voice is provided by Adult Male #2, though Adult Male #3 was used in bigboyrats' dubs.
- Elmo
Elmo the Testicle Tickler is a beloved Muppet of Sesame Street who appears on and off in Barney Bunch content. He became more prominent in IronYoshi's videos, where he has a tendency to die in almost every appearance, something that hearkens back to some of IronYoshi's earlier videos, where he often showed his disdain towards the character. He is mostly voiced by Adult Male #3 on the highest pitch, although sometimes, Microsoft Mike at the highest pitch is used as his voice.
- Grimace
This large purple character is Ronald McDonald's best friend and butt buddy. He has made a small handful of appearances in videos, with his origin being changed to have him as one of Barney's testicles that fell off and gained sentience after Barney farted him out while Ronald McDonald sucked him off. He began to appear more in IronYoshi's videos and is voiced by Adult Male #4.
House of Forgotten Barney Bunch Members Residents
In February 2022, IronYoshi uploaded Barney Ditches the Bunch, a video where Barney gets tired of Drew's abuse and leaves him and the Barney Bunch. During most of the video, Barney stayed at a place known as the House of Forgotten Barney Bunch members, which was home to members who ended up being forgotten about over the years. The concept in and of itself was a humorous jab at the community during its early years adding a huge number of characters to the Barney Bunch, only for them to be quickly forgotten about. However, there are rare instances where they (along with other forgotten members who didn't make it in the house) do get used, but it's mostly just in small spurts in Blood-style videos and other miscellaneous videos.
- BJ
Short for BlowJob, this yellow ceratopsian is one of Barney's closest friends before he became the head of the House. It is his job to watch over the members of the House and ensure their well-being. BJ also seems to have a grudge against Drew Pickles. He did make a few scattered appearances in some early BB videos and Blood-styled videos, accompanying Barney. He is voiced by Adult Male #3
- Riff
An orange hadrosaur and another close friend to Barney. He at one point got trapped in the box the Wiggles were being held in, and it changed him spiritually and psychologically. Just like BJ and Krypto, he did make a few appearances in some Blood-style videos and other miscellaneous videos where he would accompany Barney. He is voiced by Adult Male #2 at a high pitch and fast speed.
- Kaa
Kaa is a python from the beloved Disney film The Jungle Book, introduced into the community by FreakyFighterman (Enraptured Big Daddy) back in 2011. His presence wouldn't last long and he was quickly forgotten about, and thus is a member of the House, where he hypnotizes men to join in their orgies and loves being used as a dialdoh. In a video where the Barney Bunch go to Ethan Davis‘ house, he can be seen trying to kill the Barney Bunch, and it is unknown why he was portrayed in such a way, though this action might be a reason why he was sent to the House. In more recent years, he would later be the subject of ridicule by some newer members of the community, due to many fetish arts of him hypnotizing and eating/voring other characters they all liked in creepy and disturbing ways, in particular Michael of Random, who made a Gets Owned video of the character and would be mentioned as a running gag in StraightFusion and MasterDragonSamurai’s channels.
It was later on revealed in one of Michael of Random’s videos by Barney that Kaa was thrown out of the Barney Bunch and kicked out of the House of Forgotten Barney Bunch Members due to his antics of hypnotizing and eating others in the various artwork he is in and the fact he was eating females mostly in those said artworks too.
Kaa is voiced by Adult Male #7, while in the Gets Owned video he was voiced by Microsoft Sam on a high pitch.
- Lucky Seven Sampson
A rabbit character from a School House Rock music video whose introduction is as mysterious as he is. He mainly appeared in videos made by Barney Bunch Woodchuck and that's about it.
- The Singing Barack Obama Doll
Yes, really, a singing Barack Obama doll was used in a handful of videos as a Barney Bunch member. It mainly made appearances during the late 2000s and early 2010s during the real Obama's presidency before quickly being forgotten about after Obama ended his presidency in 2017, he would make an appearance at the House. He is voiced by Adult Male #8, but some videos had him speak with a Singonia voice.
- The Painter
This character from the video game Castle Crashers has appeared in several Speakonia videos, most prominently during the mid-2010s in videos by Hydreigon. He would end up at the House too since he was mostly used by just one user, although there are a few users that did use him. He is voiced by the same robot TTS voice used for the Klasky Csupo logo.
- Ripper Roo
Better known as the Testicle Kangaroo, Ripper Roo is a deranged blue kangaroo from the Crash Bandicoot series. At one point he tried to usurp Drew's leadership of the Barney Bunch and was quickly punished for it, according to the IronYoshi lore. He now spends his days at the House.
- Dr. Nerd
Dr. Nerd was a character introduced to the Barney Bunch by SRRSIsGay before rebranding as BarneyBunchCompany in 2010. He appears as a Dr. Cortex plushie, and according to the video, he tried to overthrow Drew Pickles, but his inclusion was short-lived and he too was quickly forgotten about. He is voiced by Adult Male #6 on the highest pitch.
- Krypto the Superdog
Main Article: Krypto the Superdog
The heroic pooch from Krypton and a staple member of the Barney Bunch during the days on Newgrounds. After the Newgrounds era, he was unfortunately forgotten about, but he did tag along with Drew and the rest of the Bunch when they went to Ron Jon Surf Shop, as well as making occasional appearances in Blood Style videos. He would gain more significance in 2022 following the release of the DC League of Superpets movie, with the community dedicating an entire week to making videos featuring Krypto. He is mainly voiced by Microsoft Mike, although sometimes, Sam is used.
- Hip Hop Harry
Also known as Hip Hop Horny, this rapping bear was most prominently featured in a Barney Bunch collab Flash made on Newgrounds spotlighting him, but he apparently didn't gain that much traction over the years and had never made a known appearance in a BB video since, up until he tagged along with the Barney Bunch to go to Ron Jon’s Surf Shop, along with another forgotten BB member Krypto. In the Newgrounds collab, he was voiced by Adult Male #4 on the lowest pitch.
Other Members
- Jared Fogle
Main Article: Jared Fogle
Jared Fogle was the former spokesperson for Subway who was later imprisoned on July 7, 2015, for underage sexual abuse crimes, and he would somehow find his way into the Barney Bunch in October of the same year by community member Speakonia Plus, where he would be prominently used in his videos. Many other users didn't bother to use Jared (aside from a few users here and there). Unlike most Barney Bunch members, he is voiced by a non-Speakonia voice.
- Drake
Main article: Drake
Drake is one of the newer Barney Bunch members introduced in the 2020's by Michael of Random. He is portrayed as very gay emperor penguin who is just as unhinged as the Wiggles. He appears in generic gets own videos as a last resort. He would quickly be won over by some of the community's newer members and started to be featured outside of Michael of Random's channel, most prominently by StraightFusion and MasterDragonSamurai. Drake is voiced by Microsoft Sam on the deepest pitch and at a fast speed.
- Cookie Run Cookies
The Cookie Run Cookies were characters who appeared in Hydreigon's videos. The known cookies that were Barney Bunch members were Herb Cookie, Fire Spirit Cookie, Wind Archer Cookie, and Soda Cookie, and they were only used by Hydreigon. Not many people used them, but Herb Cookie would make a re-appearance in a Blood-style video by RoboticBloxxer, and he would also make a cameo in Slim Pickles' "Ronald McDonald shows you how the Big Mac is made".
- Lord Business
Another member introduced by Hydreigon, originating from The Lego Movie, He joined the bunch after he encountered them in the line, after saying the manager’s phrase. Similarly, with the Cookie Run Cookies, he was only used by Hydreigon and not much else.
- Big Bird
Big Bird is a character from Sesame Street who was at one point a staple character within the Newgrounds era of the Barney Bunch, but he would face the same fate as Krypto, and be forgotten about. There were extremely rare instances of appearances in various Speakonia videos ranging from Blood-style videos, Goes To Videos, and other miscellaneous videos. He is voiced by either Microsoft Mike or Sam.
- Waylon Smithers
Being another character from The Simpsons, Smithers is Mr. Burn's personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. He was prominently used in Speakonia Plus' videos, and that's about it.
- Mario
Mario is a character from his very own series of games, and there was a time when he became a staple member for quite a while, being spammed across Newgrounds, and nowadays he has since been forgotten from the community. Although he makes rare appearances once in a while, some people don’t choose to make him gay, and rather an independent character on his own.
- Piglet
Piglet is a character from Winnie The Pooh, and he was introduced by BarneyPoop, the founder of the Newgrounds Barney Bunch, while he was having a mental breakdown, and many community members joined in on the Piglet craze at the time during the Newgrounds era, making flashes with the one specific frame of Piglet (called PigletFace), but he would later be forgotten about.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
Being another Nickelodeon character (just like Drew Pickles and some other Rugrats characters), this happy yellow sponge has been making scattered appearances since the Newgrounds era alongside those on YouTube, where he is stated to have the "gayest nose in the world". Sometimes, he would be accompanied by Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, or any other male character from the SpongeBob series.
- Buster Baxter
Just like Drew is to Stu, Barney is to BJ, Riff, and sometimes Baby Bop, Spongebob is to Patrick, Ronald McDonald is to his friends from McDonaldland, and the Quaker Queer is to Captain Crunch, Buster "the Ball Busting" Baxter comes to accompany Arthur. Buster is sometimes thrown into the Barney Bunch’s shenanigans and made appearances in many videos focusing on Arthur.
- Thomas the Tank Engine
The really useful blue steam engine from the Island of Sodor has made a few scattered appearances throughout the Barney Bunch's time on Newgrounds and YouTube, but would still be mainly forgotten about by the wider community. His name would often be said as a recurring gag during the censored sex scenes in various videos, as well as Blood-style videos.
