Chubbles Wubbington is a media franchise that appears in the series Kiff. The franchise, which includes many movies and one TV series, stars Chubbles Wubbington, who plays a fictionalized, crime-fighting version of himself.

Background[]

Chubbles Wubbington![]

The film Chubbles Wubbington!, starring a young Chubbles, appears in "Be Still My Harp". Two years before the episode's events, Kiff and Barry watched the film in the Table Town Middle School AV room, and since then, they have watched it many more times during their regular movie-watching hangouts in the same room.

Due to her fond memories of watching the movie with Barry, only at the end of the episode does Kiff relent to Barry's request to watch a new movie instead.

Air Mail[]

Kiff and Barry watch Air Mail at the end of "Be Stil My Harp". This film stars the adult Chubbles and is more mature than the lighthearted Chubbles Wubbington!, with Chubbles being seen performing dangerous stunts such as parachuting out of a plane into a jungle.

Hot Mail[]

Kiff and Barry watch Hot Mail at the Table Town Mall movie theater in "Nicknames" (with the film serving as the episode's opening sponsor). The film is described by Kiff as a mix of "classic rom-com shenanigans and explosions".

Reggie names it as his favorite movie in "Hive Got an Idea", while in "Fun Uncle Pat", Pat mentions that he met the movie's on-set hairdresser.

Chubbles Wubbington's Spooky Post Stories[]

Chubbles Wubbington's Spooky Post Stories is a Halloween-themed limited TV series from 1985 made for young children. When Barry finds himself too scared to watch Were-House! in "Trevor's Rockin' Halloween Bash", he and Kiff watch Spooky Post Stories instead. In one scene, Chubbles is seen saying that "there's nothing more terrifying than a stamp with poor adhesive."

Wubbington: The End: Part One[]

Kiff and Barry watch Wubbington: The End: Part One in "Blooper Quest". The blooper reel for the film, which plays over the film's end credits, inspires Kiff and Barry to make Found in Ambiguity for the sole purpose of creating a blooper reel of their own.

Rude Mailbox[]

Chubbles films Rude Mailbox in Table Town in "Never Meet Your Mailboxes". The film features Chubbles playing against type by portraying a character who is rude to children.

At the suggestion of his agent Flam Bingo, Chubbles prepares for the film by method acting. Kiff and Barry are hired to help Chubbles prepare for the role, but Flam's failure to tell Kiff and Barry that Chubbles is only method acting causes the duo to spend much of the episode assuming that he genuinely hates children.

Lady and the Stamp[]

Kiff and Barry watch the romantic comedy Lady and the Stamp in "Mystery Spell" in order to test whether they are still capable of enjoying movies.

Jaw & Order[]

Jaw & Order, a film starring Chubbles and child actor Rory as the titular crime-fighting duo, appears in "Troubles Wubbington". Due to a salary dispute, Roy Fox fires Chubbles from the movie and replaces him with Martin, whose jaw had become amazingly toned through the use of a "jaw chewer". When Martin becomes a diva on set, however, Roy, needing an excuse to fire him, secretly destroys Martin's jaw chewer, without which his jaw returns to normal. Roy then rehires Chubbles, whose face is simply superimposed on Martin's body in the final film.

Miscellaneous[]

In addition to the films above, other known Chubbles movies include Can You Mail Eggs?, which Kiff calls "an obscure classic";^[1] Wubbington 4: Deliverance;^[2] the "underperforming feel-good family film" We Bought a Loo, which is about Chubbles purchasing a public toilet;^[3] and The Speedy and the Seething Part 17.^[4]

Chubbles also starred in Hot Principal, an exaggerated biographical action film about Principal Secretary.
