Jeremy Hilary Boob

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremy Hilary Boob is a fictional character in the animated movie Yellow Submarine (1968).

The Beatles, on their way to save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, encounter Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD, a strange, monkey-like little brown-furred man with a blue face, pink ears and a fluffy, rabbit-like tail. Jeremy lives in the sea of nothing (a.k.a. Nowhere), speaks in rhyme and describes himself as an "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too". The band realizes one of their songs sums Jeremy up well and they sing "Nowhere Man" about him as they cavort with his magic in his nowhere land. However as they prepare to leave, Jeremy realizes how literally empty and lonely his life is and becomes inconsolable. Concerned at seeing the friendly person so upset, the compassionate Ringo offers to take him Somewhere and he gratefully accepts. Jeremy eventually helps The Beatles to defeat the Blue Meanies.

Jeremy speaks in rhyme throughout the film, with one exception: the line, "Come on, Ringo!"
