Everyone Needs a Waddles

If you've never heard of Gravity Falls (not only are you seriously out of the loop, but you are also a disgrace to mankind) or never bothered to watch it because you felt it was just another boring kid's show (dishonor on you), you seriously need to see it. In case you don't know, Gravity Falls is one big mystery that follows the summer adventures of the twins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, as they visit their Gruncle Stan's home in Gravity Falls, Oregon and solve the strange anomalies that happen all over the small town.

The things that makes Gravity Falls one of the best shows that I have ever seen is not only their constant use of ciphers and hidden eggs throughout the show, but also Mabel's pet pig, Waddles. Yes, I know I'm a little biased when it comes to pigs since they are, like, my favorite animal of all time, but once you hear me out, you will understand why Waddles is the best thing that ever happened to that show and why you need a Waddles in your life.

We first meet Waddles during a small fair created by Gruncle Stan to scram people into spending their money on useless rides and souvenirs. Waddles is located in a guessing game where the person who can guess the correct weight of any pig gets to keep it. As Mabel walks by, we hear Waddles, in his own piggy way, exclaim, "MABEL!" causing her to turn around and guess his weight in order to win him. I dunno about you, but I would want a pig to cry out my name! It would be a sign from the heavens saying I should adopt all of the pigs located in that game. Also,it's just plain cute, and who wouldn't want an adorable pig calling out their name?

Another plus about Waddles is that he can pull off a matching sweater. He looks so epic in knitted sweaters. If I was Waddles' owner, I would definitely knit at least fifty thousand matching sweaters for us (well, after I learned how to knit first). I see yarn companies everywhere going out of business due to lack of yarn in the near future...

Waddles is a genius. Owning a genius pig should be a dream come true for any normal person. The things Waddles and I could do! Doomsday devices, puzzle solving, world peace solutions... The possibilities are limitless, He could also just help you finish you homework faster.

Memes seem to be all the rage this days, and Waddles makes the best memes. Any meme with Waddles in it is a meme worth sharing. Also, having a Waddles in a meme would absolutely make you popular on the internet (or whatever social media thing that is popular these days...I wouldn't know since I'm not tech savvy).

Waddles has exquisite tastes in fine dining. Waddles only dines on the finest of cloths, most knowledgeable of books, and strangest of weird glowing pastes. We would definitely get along since neither of us eats meat. Also, I've kinda been curious about the taste of Gruncle Stan's pants... And sharing food with a pig is a dream come true for any sane human being.

Based on the evidence above, Waddles is literally the best pig ever. No one should be forced to survive without him. Gravity Falls would be terrible, just like my Waddles-less life, if it wasn't for Waddles charming the hearts of audience members and characters alike.
