The Curious Case Of Grumpus Religon
In Bugsnax, the phrase “Grump” is basically the universe’s equivalent of “Smurf” like in The Smurfs. It can be cleverly used to draw on popular culture (like Snorpy’s favorite TV show, Grump Peaks, or how Beffica mentions she crashed a Grumpdashian’s bachelorette party).
It can also be used to replace obscene language (characters frequently say “Grumping” to replace “fucking” or “Grump” to most likely replace phrases like “fuck”, “crap/shit”, or “damn”) or phrases with religious references (for example, Snorpy exclaims during the climax “There they are! Where in Grump’s name have you two been?!”).
If the characters say "Grump" in reference to a mild swear word or religious reference, this seems to imply that there's some kind of religious deity named "Grump" instead of God/Jesus to whom the cast address their curses to, doesn't it? Well, not exactly.
This all lies within one simple line of dialogue:
“Like, oh, my gawddd! Is this squeeb really talking to me right now?”
In the subtitles, "God" is stylized as "Gawd". However, that doesn't stop Beffica from saying it anyway. This brings up a plot hole: if God is a concept that exists within Bugsnax, why does everyone just say "Grump" instead? To keep the E10+ rating, perhaps, but that doesn't solve the problem of inconsistency.
I’m not exactly sure how to end this tangent, so to compensate for my lack of a conclusion, here is my interpretation of Grumpus Jesus. Enjoy.
