Barney Bunch



""Hello, my name is Drew Pickles, and I am really really gay.""

- A typical line from a Barney Bunch video

The Barney Bunch started out as a trolling group on Newgrounds in 2005, but has evolved since then into a loosely affiliated group of people on YouTube who make Speakonia-narrated videos about the swell exploits of Drew Pickles, Barney, Ronald McDonald (better known as the Penis Clown), and other cartoon and puppet characters, all of whom are really really really gay. The basis is to get a childhood cartoon character (for example: Snagglepuss) and have him talk about his homosexuality. No information whatsoever is needed on the character, and not even Pablo Sanchez is immune.

A few years back, they also trolled fanfiction.net with fanfics that were done in the same way. They disappeared after a fewmonths.


 * All Gays Are Promiscuous
 * Anachronism Stew: These videos probably take place in the present day, yet as a child, Drew (according to his profile) masturbated to The Wiggles, SpongeBob, and Dragon Tales. As well, he got a computer with the internet at age 11.
 * Art Shift: Some people make animated videos in Flash rather than simple videos in Windows Movie Maker.
 * Artifact Title/Breakout Character: Drew Pickles is more associated with the Barney Bunch than even its namesake.
 * Ass Shove: Assorted characters, mostly Drew Pickles, will use anything as a dildo.
 * Berserk Button: Drew Pickles does not like lines. He'll also rape anyone who calls him a sick fuck.
 * Black Comedy Rape
 * Cast Full of Gay: There are virtually no BB characters who were homosexual in their original incarnation. Even the notoriously evangelical Ned Flanders has been written into gay sex scenes with Drew.
 * Catch Phrase: "Bag, that was swell."
 * The "official" Drew Pickles Facebook page has gathered flak for being so bowdlerized that the only status updates it posts are G-rated jokes about the word "swell." Occasionally a Barney Bunch member will post a typically NSFW comment related to the Barney Bunch on that page, but it is swiftly removed.
 * Censor Box: Sometimes used when characters have sex.
 * Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite being major members of the Barney Bunch, Arthur Read, The Wiggles, The Teletubbies and Clifford the Big Red Dog are seldom seen nowadays.
 * Child of Rape: Dick Pickles, Drew's African-American son.
 * Corrupt the Cutie
 * Creative Differences: A major feud broke out because of this, and lasted for most of the summer and part of the fall of 2011
 * A Date with Rosie Palms: Whenever Drew Pickles is forced to wait in a long line, he will quickly get bored and either do this, or rape every man in the line.
 * Dead Baby Comedy
 * Depending on the Writer: For some reason, Drew Pickles tends to be everyone's Author Avatar, and will like or dislike things depending on the video's maker. This leads to inconsistencies, like him being a fan of or hating Halo.
 * Depraved Homosexual: Taken Up to Eleven.
 * Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)
 * Egopolis: Drewland
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Although Drew Pickles calls himself "the true definition of a sick fuck", women gross him out.
 * Everything's Worse with Bears: Yogi Bear and Fatty Bear, who claim to be gayer than Drew Pickles.
 * Fantastic Racism: The term "Unestablished", usually going to characters who are not part of the original meme or who happen to never be used again. There are exceptions to the term such as The Creepy Autistic/Retarded Kid, Brad Garett, Huckleberry Hound and others
 * Forced Meme: Maid Marian, who claimed she could rape anyone and in doing so turn them straight. Drew eventually got fed up with this and shot her.
 * Furry Fandom: A Furry equivalent to the Barney Bunch, The Furfag Flock, includes Tod the Fox as the leader, Charlie B. Barkin, Baloo The Bear, Robin Hood, Little John, Awesome Possum, Sonic the Hedgehog, Fox McCloud, and recent member, Mr. FOX.
 * Gag Dub: Even though most are unfinished, they include Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie and the most recent, The Rescuers. YouTube user Bigboyrats specializes in these, making Barney Bunch-themed dubs of Rugrats episodes.
 * Gag Penis: Drew is probably the most triumphant example.
 * Gretzky Has the Ball: From Drew's profile: "Drew was sent to Barney's Penis World to play the worldwide Boner Baseball Superbowl! He did successful in this superbowl, and he even performed in the halftime show by doing magic tricks with his dick."
 * Heh Heh, You Said "X": "Today I come, hahaha cum."
 * Hero Antagonist: Tony Little and the Wishbone Resistance's (yes, the dog's) goal is to free Speakonia Land from the rule of Drew Pickles.
 * As well as Straight Drew and Nega Drew, who are known for much more moral behavior.
 * Het Is Ew: The Barney Bunch wants to turn all straight men gay.
 * It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY": Due to glitches in the text-to-speech software, Drew (and other characters with Microsoft voices) pronounces "dildo" and "dildos" as "dial-dough" and "dil-diss", among other things.
 * Lampshade Hanging: Later videos have more self-aware humor.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: Nobody can even count every member of the Barney Bunch. The Hanna-Barbera Bunch seems to have an estimate of about 600 characters as well.
 * Mega Crossover: Alongside the loads of characters, they've been from loads of series.
 * Missing Episode: "Secret Missing Episodes" of assorted TV shows are an example of videos made by the bunch. They're really just videos where all the male characters of said show admit that they're gay and have a (censored) orgy.
 * No Fourth Wall: To the point where it's frequently lampshaded.
 * The Other Darrin: Almost all characters have had a different voice in some videos.
 * Refuge in Vulgarity
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: Drew Pickles plays this role in Pube Muppet videos.
 * Stock Footage / GIS Syndrome: Characters are simply represented by promotional images of themselves. Both images of the characters and locations tend to be found via Google Image Search.
 * Synthetic Voice Actor: Everyone. The general consensus is that Drew Pickles is voiced by Microsoft Sam, Barney is voiced by Microsoft Mike, but other than that, it really depends on the video maker.
 * To Be a Master: Drew Pickles gets angry when someone claims to be gayer than him. Recently, he's been competing with Yogi Bear to be the gayest thing ever. While Drew is gayer, Yogi is a sicker fuck. They'll have to team up to take down the even gayer Humongous Bunch, though.
 * Units Not to Scale: Drew Pickles' penis is supposedly 300 miles long. However, in some videos where it is visible, it appears to be much smaller.
 * Villain Protagonist: Drew Pickles (after all, he does rape lots of men with little or no provocation).
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: New Barney Bunch members are rarely seen outside their introductory videos. The Quaker Queer averts this, however.
