| ~ Bubblegum's first line |
Bubblegum (also known as Kid Bubblegum) was a character in the Annoying Orange episode "Kid Bubblegum". She is voiced by Rebecca Parham, the owner of the channel Let Me Explain Studios.
Bubblegum has three states, candy, bubble, and popped. When she is a candy, she is round and dotty, when she is a bubble, she is round, her dots are gone and she has the ability to float (but she can't control herself). When she's popped, she's dark pink, she is irregularly shaped and loses her ponytails. She talks nonstop and never gets tired of it. Her annoying talking makes people irritated, usually asking her to shut up by asking her to blow a bubble. When someone talks directly to her, she will interrupt him or her before he or she can even say two words.
Background
Bubblegum can be a candy, a bubble, or popped. She only appears in one episode called "Kid Bubblegum", where she is introduced.
Bubblegum is disliked by anyone she talks with, this is because she talks all the time, without stopping. Bubblegum also interrupts people when they talk directly to her. She annoyed Orange, Midget Apple (or Little Apple), and Pear, much like the orange in More Annoying Orange.
It is unknown why she is so talkative, possibly because she is born this way, or something she experienced that made her talk so much. It is most likely not because of heredity because she is the only one in her family with this trait.
She practices to break the world record for largest bubblegum bubble blown, her brother says she'll never do it, but her mom and dad are supportive of her dream. She thinks that they are because blowing bubbles keeps her mouth shut, but she also thinks they're just supportive. Her mom also says she should eat vegetables to grow bigger, but she doesn't like the taste of vegetables, and she has best friends as vegetables.
Personality
Bubblegum is optimistic, hyperactive, happy, nice, talkative, and annoying; much like Orange. She interrupts people if they talk to her directly. For example, Bubblegum asks for Orange, Pear and Midget Apple's (or Little Apple's) name, Pear tries to tell her, but she interrupts him.
She can stop talking by blowing bubblegum bubbles, which she loves to do; so things that interact with her usually ask her to blow bubblegum bubbles.
When she pops, she is embarrassed, and she tells them things she is talking to not tell her mom (because she is also embarrassed when she pops). She makes a lot of enemies because of her annoying personality, but she doesn't mind (or even notice), and considers them as friends.
Biography
Bubblegum used to live in an old kitchen that had grasshoppers and a bowling alley nearby. She moved out to Heyapple Avenue and her house has a swimming pool. She now lives near Dane Boedigheimer's house, where the series' setting is for most of the time.
She was supposed to help her parents unpack the moving truck, but instead, they said she should go outside and get some air (but this is most probably because they're tired of her talking), her grandmother also tells her to meet her new neighbors. She visits the kitchen and meets Orange, Pear, and Midget Apple (or Little Apple) and tries to make friends with them, but instead, they are annoyed of her talking.
She has a grandmother, mother, father, sister, a dog, 3 gerbils named Snap, Crackle, and Pop, 2 ferrets named Furball and Muffin, and 34 grasshoppers in a jar named Dave, Sammy, Mister Crinkles, Roberto, Susan, Dia, Clint, Double Baggins, Ronaldo, Jiminy Grasshopper, Jan, Fran, Pan, Dan, Stan, Fan, Chan, San, Bam, and several others. She is thinking of getting a 4th gerbil, but can't decide on the names Crispy, Pudding, Biscuit, Sonny Bono, Moonbeams, Duckface (or Ducktape), Fancy Butter, Chicken Little or Steven Zorbit.
It is unknown if she has a grandfather or not.
Relationships
Neighbors
Overall, all of Bubblegum's neighbors think she is very annoying.
Orange
Orange makes jokes about her less than normal, but still does, but she doesn't mind and keeps talking.
Pear
Pear is the one who asked her to blow a bubblegum bubble, which made her stop talking for a while, but she became a bubblegum bubble in the process, and blocked the basketball hoop, causing Orange, Pear and Midget Apple (or Little Apple) unable to play the game Horse (but they find a way around it). She was blown by the wind and it caused her to go up to the fan and pop.
Midget Apple
Midget Apple was the first one to invite Bubblegum to play the game Horse with them, but it backfired. He was the first one to respond to Bubblegum.
Family
Overall, they are also annoyed by her talking.
Grandmother
She told her to meet her new neighbors, which was, of course, Orange, Pear, and Midget Apple (or Little Apple).
Mother
She is strict but also caring for her, but she is annoyed by her talking as well, she is supportive of her dream of blowing the largest bubblegum bubble ever blown.
Father
He is caring, but annoyed too. He is also supportive of her dreams.
Brother
He thinks that she'll never be able to break the world record for the largest bubblegum bubble ever blown.
Friends
Vegetables
Some vegetables with unknown names were her best friends, this is also a reason why she doesn't like eating vegetables.
Quotes
- "I was supposed to help my parents unpack the truck, but they said I should go outside and get some air, which really means they're tired of hearing me talk and want me to leave them alone for a while."
- "Do you guys know if there's a bowling alley nearby? I don't actually like bowling that much, It's just that we had a bowling alley near our old kitchen, and I'd always get free sodas because it had a vending machine that accidentally gave them away for free if you jiggled the Dr. Pepper button just right."
- "Grandma said I was talking too much and that I should go over and meet our new neighbors and make some new friends; so I came over here to say "Hi!" and to tell you that I have two ferrets and three gerbils, And the name of the ferrets are Furball and Muffin, and the names of the gerbils are Snap, Crackle, and Pop."
- "I'm practicing to break the world record for the largest bubblegum bubble ever blown, my brother says I'll never be able to do it, but my dad said I should go for it, my mom said I should go for it, too! I think they like it when I blow bubbles, because it means I can't talk while doing it."
- "This isn't even as big as I can get, I can get way bigger if I had more gum, but my mom says I should eat my vegetables if I wanna get bigger someday, But that's gross because vegetables taste gross. And it also strikes me as a moral gray area, because some of my best friends at my old kitchen were vegetables."
- "Aw man, I popped! Nobody tell my mom, please! Pretty, pretty, please with whipped cream on top? She gets really embarrassed every time I pop."
- "I'm thinking of getting a 4th gerbil named Crispy, but I'm not sure. Maybe a better name would be Pudding, or Biscuit, or Sonny Bono, or maybe Moonbeams, or maybe Duckface (or Duct Tape) or maybe Fancybutter or Chicken Little, or perhaps Steven Zorbit!"
Trivia

- Rebecca Parham, the person who played her, went to Vidcon a couple of times, and she had the Annoying Orange Gang (Dane Boe, etc.) with her.
- She is so sticky, she can trap people in her gum, shown at the end of "Kid Bubblegum".
