Burgie

About

Burgie^[1] is a character meme of a smiling floating burger originated by Danny Sexbang in the Game Grumps ^[2] playthrough video of a classic video game B.O.B. for the SNES.

Origin

On January 2nd, 2014, during the Game Grumps^[3] playthrough of B.O.B. the game crashed (7:47) and shortly started a podcast known as Grumpcast (8:08). During their podcast (11:10)^[4] Danny requested Barry to put a smiling burger with eyes floating from right to left which became the very first introduction of Burgie. Many cameo appearances of Burgie were made and mention by Danny on Game Grumps videos including a zombie version known as Zurgie.

On August 15th, 2014, the identity of Burgie was stated by Suzy Hanson (known as Mortem3r and the host of Kitty Kat Gaming) on the Game Grumps Instagram^[5] that she believes Burgie is the reminiscent of Barry Kramer. This Instagram has over 6000 likes after Suzy submitted it.

Spread

During the first appearance and first identity of Burgie, fanart of Burgie has been spread around deviantART,^[7] Tumblr,^[6] and Twitter, including Game Grump Animated videos of Burgie on YouTube. A character icon of Burgie can be posted on Reddit's Game Grumps page.

I Burgie Burgie

I Burgie Burgie is a Nick At Nite sitcom parody about a family living with Burgie as a burger puppet with a famous catchphrase "Beefy!". This video was posted on the Game Grumps channel and later Outtakes on the Grump Out channel on August 2015. A Halloween version of I Burgie Burgie titled All Hail Burgie was posted on October 2015. In the end it's about promoting Game Grumps t-shirts of Burgie for a limited time.
