In the anime[]
Signibble first appears in EP006, in which causes the T.V to change channels automatically and ruining Nate and his friends' chances of watching the Next HarMEOWny late show. Jibanyan tries to fight him (with a vaccum cleaner), but Signibble has the vaccum cleaner to suck Whisper inside and disable him, allowing Signibble to escape.
