JubJub Boopkins is a modern recurring character in the SMG4 series.
He is the younger brother of Fishy Boopkins and the second son of Joe Boopkins. Although Fishy Boopkins and Tari both treated him with love, Mario abused and treated him like a football, frequently kicking him around.
Ever since he was born, he hung around with SMG4's Gang and became friends with the main cast but later joined the Anti-Cast during The YouTube Arc. He was assigned to prevent Fishy Boopkins from meeting Mario and SMG4 and succeeded, though he didn't seem to know what he was doing.
He was upset about Fishy Boopkins being sucked into a black hole and was sent to the Internet Graveyard: he was seen sulkily looking at a picture of him and his brother during SMG4: A Totally Normal S̷͍͖͉̙͚͎̑̃̿͑̆̇̚͠M̸͇͇̦̮̌̿Ğ̴̫̗̖͎͔̳4̶̞͇̰̎̀́̚ Episode. Later, he was possessed by the YouTube Remote and made both gangs do challenges, which he ironically participated in himself. When he spat the YouTube Remote out for the love of his brother, he stood up to SMG3 with the rest of his friends and defeated him, becoming friends with SMG4's Gang once again.
Like many other characters, he gains a huge decrease in appearances in Season 11, albeit appearing slightly more often in the first few bloopers.
Contents
Appearance
He bears some resemblance to Fishy Boopkins, with a similarly squat body with stumpy limbs and protruding lips but his eyes are much further apart and his head is visually distinct from his body. Instead of a tuft of hair, he has a small plant sprout on his head.
Personality
Though he did not immediately know that Fishy Boopkins was his brother, he quickly grew attached to him. He is also attached to his father. Shortly after he was hatched, he wondered where he was. Despite being innocent, he ended up becoming a member of the Anti-Cast.
SMG3 chose him to represent Fishy Boopkins, as he was his brother. Presumably, he didn’t know that SMG3 was plagiarizing SMG4, as he was born after the events of the Anime Arc. He has been possessed by the spirit of the YouTube Remote, which showed its cruel personality through him.
Despite his young age, he is smart enough to know how to operate a computer, as he was one of the donators to Melony.
Unlike his brother, he is not afraid of heights.
Contrary to the belief of most characters, JubJub actually likes being kicked around.
