Yo Gabba Gabba

[Redguard]

Do any of you have kids that watch Yo Gabba Gabba?

What do you think of DJ Lance Rock? Do you find him funny? Scary? Wierd? Entertaining?

What kind of entertainment do you think your child gets out of this show?

If you were throwing your kid a birthday party, would you consider highering a DJ Lance Rock look-a-like to come to the party and entertain the kids for an hour with songs, dances, and activities similar to what's done on the show?

My son loves

Yo Gabba Gabba! I secretly enjoy it myself. DJ Lance Rock, he finds him entertaining. His favorite character is Plex (or should I say Plex - Plex - ah pa - pa - pa - pa - pa - pa - pa Plex). What he has gotten from the show is internalizing some of the life lessons (example, his food fell on the ground outside one day and he started singing the song "We are the tiny yucky germs, don't eat me" from one of the episodes).

As for hiring a DJ Lance Rock look a like, I think I'd go with a look a like of his favorite character over him.

ROFL. I personally can't stand the show. Doesn't mean my kids aren't allowed to watch it. They are allowed to watch it, I just see it and think what on earth is this RUBBISH. (same with In the Night Garden, Tellietubbies and Boohbah)

Therefore I wouldn't hire anyone like the character from yo gabba gabba. But each to there own I guess.

I have never heard of this show. It's some sort of Canadian pediatric brainwashing, isn't it?

Most normal people won't know about this show. I didn't know about it until I walked in on Pinkguard watching it on Nick Jr. one day. I was pretty horrified by what I was seeing, but she seemed pretty entertained.

Contrary to popular belief, the show is very much American. And whoever writes or produces for this show is clearly high on drugs.

Roseguard has a doll of the green monster (Rovy) featured in this clip (which I recall hearing Pinkguard singing to Roseguard while I was feeding her, but I thought she made it up until I saw this clip)

Rovy is my favorite because he is grumpy like me occasionally. I like his long and wiggly arms as well. (I thought his name was Grobee, don't ask why).

I liked Teletubbies and Boobah as well. It's fun to be an oddball in life

 

[Redguard]

Actually his name might, in fact, be Grobee. I just took a wild guess based on what I hear my kids say.

So, who's your favorite character, Redguard? (Come on, you know you have one!)

 

[Redguard]

I honestly have not sat down long enough to watch an entire episode!!

I'm looking at YouTube videos right now just trying to get a grasp of how insane this show really is!

 

[gracepaints]

I'm too scared by the still picture to watch the movie.

 

[Redguard]

Don't be scared.

There's a party in his tummy. And it's sooo yummy.

*shrudder*

I am so glad we don't have a TV.

ROFL. It's insane totally insane.

I can't see any major objections to my kids watching it occasionally, but it's pretty strange.

Me and my 5 yo daughter agree, yo gabba gabba is real weird. lol

we only watched it a couple of times.

ROFL. It's insane totally insane.

Neenie, I think that is why I enjoy it so!
I also grew up in an urban area and I was surrounded by the hip hop culture so I enjoy the beats as well.

Biz Markie is a reg on the show - the guy who was made famous by the words "You - you got what I need, but you say he's just a friend....oh baby yooouuu"

Nope my boys don't watch this show it's on the list of forbidden programming. Along with Teletubbies, Barney, Pinky Dinky Doo, Wow Wow Wubzy, and I know there are more but I can't think of them all right now.

 

[Hadassah]

ROFL. I have only heard of this on forums. I've never seen it on programming when I was in the US, and I've yet to find it on programming here..

 

[illudium_phosdex]

I can't say that I've actually sat down and watched it long enough to know what it's all about. There are a few shows that I just can't handle. Yo Gabba Gabba, The Doodle Bops, Teletubbles.... the list could end up pretty long. Anywho, I asked the kids if they liked it and why and they both said they did and that it was because it is silly. To each his own I guess....

 

[CrystalBrooke]

I think the green ones name is Robey...I'm still confused as to what any of their names are really My little girls loves it and I think it's a silly, but fun, show. I got her a toy of the green one and it says stuff and sings "There's a party in my tummy". I do like that the show encourages children to not be scared of trying new things..especially new foods..mine's a picky eater.

I let my son watch part of an episode and he LOVED it. I don't know how much of it I'd be able to stand on a regular basis, though
