The Internet Is LOSING It Over This Hilarious Singing Meme Inspired By Bibble From Barbie

This is art...
Picture the scene. You’re scrolling through Twitter when something bizarre catches your eye. A screenshot from an incredibly niche film of your childhood, long forgotten. The image is captioned with a song lyric that demands to be yelled, a la Meryl Streep at the Oscars, or Mike Wazowski style. With that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to Bibble.
I honestly have no idea what kind of creature he’s supposed to be. Bibble was the ICONIC sidekick in a trilogy of ‘Barbie: Fairytopia’ movies back in the ancient time of 2005 (and, yes, I owned them all on DVD). This particular clip is taken from the greatest film from the franchise - “Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia”.
It’s as obscure as it sounds. Like so many of its fallen brothers, this film should have been lost in history. But now, over a decade later, Bibble has reappeared in our lives - as a meme.
He embodies all of the raw emotion we felt while screaming along to our favourite childhood songs in such a relatable manner, it’s only right that we share the best of the bunch with you.
Let’s kick things off with a Gaga classic!

And if you don’t scream along to Evanescence, you’re doing it wrong.
