what the #$% is this?

[sandiemac]

my daughter and i were channel-surfing yesterday and came across the weirdest show. On the disney channel....it was called the wiggles. All i can say is WTF? has anyone else seen this????

[Vegankat]

That show has become one of the biggest jokes between my best friend and I. It's so ridiculous! Plus, there is most definitely some hot boy hearts boy sexual tension in there. :love:

I especially love the pirate guy. Wow. It's quite an ambiguously gay show. XD

[kraftykraft]

I don't admit this often - but yes I have seen it on video. There are a lot of little kids in my life and they all love the Wiggles. These guys have quite a thing going - a friend of mine tried to take her kids to a live show in four different cities and they were ALL sold out. Some of the songs are kind of catchy :) :)

[Meo]

OH MY GOSH! *spazzes* I LOVE THE WIGGLES!

I sing all the songs, dance along, watch the videos and shows, and have almost all the dialouge from 'Wiggle Bay' memorized. My sisters (and brother) and I all pretend to be The Wiggles when we're bored (as well as my mom gets to be Captain Feathersword), which is quite fun. I'm always Murray. XD I know heaps of useless information about each of them, and so on, I think you get my point.

I... so <3 Murray. :D

[sandiemac]

oh yea....capt feathersword i think? the pirate guy. we watched like 4 episodes of this stuff. the one in purple is kinda cute but.....there is DEFINITELY some boy :love: boy stuff in there. what is that australian or something. whatever it is it beats barney!

[Meo]

Greg (yellow), Anthony (blue) and Murray (red) are all married (to women). Greg and Murray both have kids, too. *shrugs*

And yes, they're Australian. And The Wiggles kick Barney's asterisk. :D

The Disney channel frightens me. It is clearly a form of child abuse.

Give yer tots the benefit of the doubt...they deserve better...they crave challenging television programming...:P

The Osbournes- pop culture/psychology
Wheel of Fortune- english
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy- open mind cultivation
The Iron Chef- foreign language education
Dexter's Lab- science
Jeopardy- general knowledge
Yu-Gi-Oh!- art

[Cissy]

Disney Channel is scary...the wiggles are weird. Like a weirder version of the Teletubbies.

Rapunzl - You forgot Discovery channel! I <3 Discovery channel, TLC, etc.

[rabid_child]

i've heard of them, but never really watched. it makes me nervous. i mean, what exactly is wiggling on these guys, and is it appropriate for children to watch!?!?

[Kurmudgeon]

They are big here Down Under. They came from an 80s pop band called the Cockroaches.
Haven't they toured the US?

[Harry Kellerman]

Oh man, my two year old brother is/was in love with them.

We bought the videos like two months after he was born because they had one out that was titled "wake up, jeff" and with my dad's name being jeff, they (dad and step-mom) thought it was funny and cute. My brother fell in love with it and shortly afterwards they took over the world via the disney channel.

[Meo]

Yep, they've toured in the States. I wanted to see them at the end of the month, but alas, I don't have that much money to buy good tickets.

[sandiemac]

they're definitely interesting...in a strange traffic accident kinda way. i was wondering why my 12 year old watches them (she does now) but....i figure it's harmless compared to what she *could* be watching....

BTW: i saw queer eye for the straight guy when it was on NBC and loved it....alas don't get the cable channel it's on (showtime or bravo???)

[Cissy]

Queer Eye is so awesome! It's on Bravo, I believe - that's where my cousin and I watched it.

[sandiemac]

i loved that show but....i don't think that nbc will carry it...it was a teaser :cry:

[kirkjobsluder]

Honestly, if it were not for the occasional wierd stuff, I think I might give up on cable. Cartoon Network is running FLCL, probably the wierdest depressed-teen-sexual-awakening-hard-rock- space- alien- giant-robot-kung-foo anime ever created. It's what the Tank Girl movie should have been. I'm slowly getting sucked into Sponge Bob Square Pants which is rather like drugs without the nasty mood swings. Finally, we switched from watching a rented DVD to catch the end of a 50s Japanese horror movie on local community access that was just plain wierd.

Iron Chef was good until it started making me nausious. I'm Bisexual and the premise behind Queer Eye sounds bad, stupid, not only stupid but negative-intelligence-suck-your-IQ-out-by-the-optic- nerve bad. But then again how many stupid seasons has the Real World been on? The only time I was able to sit through an entire episode was when I was both bedridden and taking massive quantities of opiates and even in that state of massive boordom and drug induced stupor the ceeling tiles were almost as entertaining. When was the last time that MTV actually did something about music? Of course music videos lately have all of the creativity of the Sprite Remix comercial that the movie theatre subjected us to three times last night before the feature.

[ObsidianZebra]

my ex bf's niece (she's around 2 years old) really loved them.. he'd always play their songs for her... they rather got on my nerves myself.

[Meo]

I've concluded after watching several of the movies all day today, that Anthony is incredibly hyper... at least whenever they're recording. And... a long time ago I came to the conclusion that Greg just likes to shake his... hips. Yeah. Go Greg, go.

[PunkRockRapunzL]

The Sprite Remix commercial justifies suicide completely.

[Ntelligentidiot]

Sprite Remix has to be the worst beverage ever created. I almost barfed when I drank it! Ugh! It's AWFUL!

[grain_girl]

I actually like this show. Especially Captian FeatherSword. Yo, ho, yum! ;) I don't think any of them are gay... but then again, Anthony Perkins had me fooled. /shrug

P.S. I tasted some of that poison known as 'Sprite Remix' and it felt as if I had tiny little demons jumping up and down in my mouth, stabbing my tongue with pitchforks. Dreadful stuff. You'd be better of drinking Windex, can't beat that pretty blue color. :D

[Meo]

Ha, Captain Feathersword is awesome!

I like strawberry soda. :D That was random.

[Cissy]

grain_girl - I actually know someone that drinks windex. He's a bit of an odd character, but really nice. I could write a book on the weird things about this guy.

[grain_girl]

Cissy - Is he single? :D

[EquiPro]

My daughter loves the Wiggles. I hope that she outgrows them soon. I'm not bugged that they guys are goofy, I just hate the words to their songs. My mother is a professional lyricist, and one of the worst things that a person writing lyrics can do is to bend the pronounciation of a word to fit a song.

For example, my daughter's name is "Dorothy". It is pronounced "DOR-thee". In the Wiggles song, "Dorothy the Dinosaur" they pronounce the name, "dor-OH-thee". It's just bad, lazy writing and it goes on and on.

She was watching the Wiggles Christmas this morning and I thought that if I heard, "on a Christ-MAS Mor-OH-ning" one more time I was going to rip out my hair.

Oh well, it's better than TeleTubbies. Thanks goodness she's out grown them.
