    Burger King made Tubby Custard once! There was a Teletubbies kids meal where you got keychain plushies of each of the characters, including Noonoo and a bunny, and they acted as finger puppets! And with your kids meal, you got a little cup of Tubby Custard! It was just really good pink vanilla pudding, I think. I might remember it being better than it was, though lol

    @pineappleprincess9704 Před 5 měsíci +312

    Honestly, the better one is Teletubbies by a long shot!
    I said this before, but it legit feels like it's a bit of a representation of a caregiver or multiple caregivers taking care of a bunch of toddlers.
    The teletubbies themselves already have the curiosity, mischievousness, and overall behavior of toddlers, but I especially see that whenever the narrator talks, since the teletubbies are aware of his presence. He says the whole thing like it's a story in order to help guide the teletubbies to do something, which honestly sounds like an interesting way someone could help guide a toddler to do something correctly by themselves, since they're learning to be a bit more independent!
    And then some if not most of the antics that happen in it are because the teletubbies make a mistake on what they're trying to do or if they don't listen. And the antics can tend to get sillier if they do so PURPOSELY because it makes them giggle! (Specific example being the segment in "Pink")
    And many tend to say the trippiest parts have to do with the windmill, but I honestly see it more as if a caregiver were to say "Hey, kids! It's storytime!" And they all come rushing over to hear the story! Same could be said for a lot of the other windmill events!

      Children's media is such an undervalued art - that perfect balance between age appropriate understanding, but not talking down to them, and then making it all entertaining.
      The world definitely needs more kids media that gives them something meaningful to think about, and takes its time, rather than just bombarding them with nonstop movement, color, and noise.

    Yep. Teletubbies outcalsss Boohbah in almost every way possible. Every point you made was right on the money. The Teletubbies are way more distinct, memorable, and fun to watch, and their world is so intricate and immersive.
    But one thing I don't think anyone's mentioned is how much the music slaps. The soundtrack, mainly the songs that play during the scenes of the Teletubbies dancing go SO hard. They go so hard that a CZcamsr named Furkan Kılıç took it upon himself to make covers of them. You should definitely give them a listen.

    I agree, it’s so cute. I remember Teletubbies as one of those shows that I stayed watching longer when I was a kid, I think to like 6. This is one of those weird PBS kids shows that don’t make sense for it to stick so long though… Unlike Dragon-tales, Clifford, or Reading with Lions or ciberchase which make sense for a kid to want more of, and were my favorites, I loved so much and continued watching much longer.

    I loved Teletubbies when I was growing up. I remember my parents renting and later buying the VCRs for me and my younger siblings. Also, I can't see Tubby Custard or the Tubby Custard Machine without thinking about a Legendary Tumblr post with a Vegan (TM) having a Meltdown about "what's really in your McNuggets and how they're made" and someone replied "bitch, that's the Tubby Custard Machine". And Tumblr never EVER let it go, LMAO. And finding out that Boobah came from the same Creator was shocking but the explanation of Boobah being geared towards babies makes things make 1000x more sense because Boobah used to terrify me.

  • @CyanDocs
    @CyanDocs Před 5 měsíci +21

    My take is that the viewer is represented by the baby sun. Which as you mentioned feels like it makes the baby (the viewer) the center of their world. Also why there are so many different babies in the remakes, so the viewers get a chance to see themselves as the center of the Teletubbies existence!
    Now my hairbrained theory revolving around this is that means that baby sun (viewer) and human children in general are like the Tubbies gods, given sun iconography is very god related. The teletubbies are in a veritable garden of eden, and are explorers of this new world (astronaut symbology) that need to learn all about it. It gives the viewer someone to relate to, and autonomy. After all, when they're born, babies probably feel like the center of their own world, but also very lonely little astronauts. Scientists sent to a new world they have to figure out the rules of.

    I remember walking into my mom’s room where her and my sister were watching it on the TV and I paused and stared. I was mesmerized by it. I always thought they were adorable with their little Kewpie doll eyes and the funny glancing noises.
