Derived from "Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko" a term used to describe obscure, cartoon-like video game mascots. Now used as a general term for all mascots of this nature (e.g. Mario, Sonic, Pacman, Crash Bandicoot, etc).
The term has risen to prominence in the Super Smash Bros community, due to the abundance of fans calling for the inclusion of recognisable mascots such as Crash and Spyro. Some (not all) of these fans take issue with the inclusion of less recognisable JRPG characters, often labeled as "anime sword fighters", due to them being generally less recognisable to westerners, and having similar appearances and abilities, which some feel makes the roster stale.
In response, the section of the fanbase who support the inclusion of "anime sword fighters" (and other similar characters) will use the term Scrimblo Bimblo in a more negative light, criticizing those who propose the inclusion of said characters as blinded by nostalgia, biased towards well known characters, or simply lacking in video game knowledge.

Person A: I'm sick of all these characters I don't recognize in Smash. When will Nintendo listen to the fans and add Crash or Spyro to the game?
Person B: You're just a biased westerner, blinded by nostalgia. Typical Scrimblo Bimblo fanboy!

Get the scrunkly scrimblo mug.The ultimate type of male — better than alpha males, sigma males, whatever else. Endowed with immense charisma, confidence, attractiveness, willpower, and intelligence. They are very rare, it is theorized that only 0.01% of men are scrimblo males.
Because of their sheer dominance, scrimblos are often the subject of jealousy from lower males. Sometimes lower males attempt to harm or incapacitate them. The adversaries must use dirty tricks, however, for none can hope to defeat a scrimblo male in a forthright struggle.
The rarity of scrimblo males means most of them will never meet another scrimblo. When they do, however, they treat each other with respect, recognizing a fellow scrimblo king.
Common signs of a scrimblo male: Enjoys jigsaw puzzles. Like to collect cool rocks. Volunteers at animal shelters.
