Ruber

Ruber (also known as Sir Ruber or Lord Ruber) is the primary antagonist of Quest for Camelot, brought to audiences by Warner Bros. Animation in 1998. He’s an over-the-top knight of Arthur’s round table turned warlord who desires the conquest of Camelot and Excalibur, acquiring the latter and nearly succeeding in the former until he’s stopped in the final moments of the film. Personality-wise, Ruber is a brutal and sadistic madman who has no qualms betraying his king and attempting to usurp him, despite battling alongside him for at least 10 years.

As for the movie he originates from: it’s a mediocre film at best, one that likely would’ve been forgotten to obscurity were it not for Ruber. Many (rightfully) denote Ruber as its saving grace, citing such reasons as his animation quirks, exaggerated mannerisms, and general design.

In 2018, Ruber, and by extension Quest for Camelot, rose back into recent memory due to a thread containing several frames of him, sparking the meme of “Ruberposting.” Helping to sustain the small but loyal cult following he’s has garnered since the film’s release.
