Seriously? WTF? We have to talk. I don’t have kids, but one of my best friends has two fantastic kiddos and I hang out with them a lot. I’ve now been introduced to Yo Gabba Gabba.

What stoners got permission and funding for this show? Seriously! Maybe if I took some acid it’d all make sense… but I’m kind of scared that this is what kids are watching. What happened to Sesame Street and Barney?

For those who aren’t familiar with Yo Gabba Gabba, it stars a DJ Lance scronny black man who wears a orange furry space suit and he hangs out with five fuzzy live size mascot thingies: Muno, a red warty looking one eyed thing. Foofa, a pink flowerish raindrop. Plex, a yellow robot. Brobee a fuzzy green striped monster with really long gangly arms. And Toodie, a catish-dinosaur thingie.

I don’t get it. They never sing songs that actually make sense, and every song sounds the same. There’s not even educational content. It’s just these fuzzy things singing. But the kids love it. And even worse, I find myself sucked into it unable to look away from the screen.
