They have a gelatinous body similar to that of goo man, and have an IQ similar to that if a rabbit. They vary in size, from similar to a bunny to that of a cat.

I can’t get over how much I absolutely adore Grumpy in “Space Bubbles”.   I think a big part of it is that he reminds me so much of myself.  I’ve always related to Grumpy so much in the Nelvana series and I feel like I have a super strong connection with him. In this episode, he’s very serious and he wants to get his work done.  The Space Clown keeps on playing jokes on him, and everyone finds it funny...except for Grumpy. Despite that, Grumpy still helps out both the Space Clown and his friends.  But he has a hard time taking credit for it. Then at the end, the Space Clown learns that jokes are only funny when the other person is ok with it.  And Grumpy points out that he’s fine with jokes, but only ones where it feels comfortable for him...and in those instances, he feels fine poking fun at himself. I’m so similar to Grumpy in all of these cases.  I’m often very serious and can have a hard time taking a joke, especially if I’m around new people or if it’s a large group.   I also like helping people in subtle ways, but I feel a little uncomfortable when the spotlight is put on me for doing so. But I also do lighten up in a lot of situations, and in those moments I tend to have some self deprecating humor.  But the key thing is that I have to be with a group of people I trust and who I know accept me for who I am. So it’s just interesting how much I relate to Grumpy in this episode, and how much I love him.  It makes my connection to him feel that much stronger.

I had forgotten about this episode until we watched it in the stream.   And when I heard this joke from Grumpy it was just fantastic.  Even though it’s kind of a cute/innocent kids joke, when you hear it straight up, it is totally savage. It especially hits the spot for me because I love Grumpy and that clown gets on my nerves.  I mean, I get it that he’s just trying to be goofy and means no harm, and eventually they have a good moment where the clown learns to be more serious and Grumpy lightens up some.  But during the ep, I am completely on Grumpy’s side.

I think this is one of those hidden gem episodes.  Grumpy has so many fantastic moments in it. But I love how irritated Grumpy is with the clown.  Everyone else thinks the jokes are funny, but Grumpy doesn’t like being the butt of the joke (the way he is so often). And I totally relate to him.  It’s so great seeing how irritated he is, even throwing out the face palm at the end.   And his angry face in that first gif is awesome too.
