During the scene where the Narrator suggests Po wave the flag, all I could think of was, "when Po came to a set of two open doors, she entered the door on her left."
Is this supposed to an ElderTubbies reference? For anyone who doesn't know, it's a series of artworks that depict this exact concept, with the teletubbies as their full adult forms.
I remember when Ronald Reagan died, my family didn’t have cable so our channel options were limited. The only channel not broadcasting his services was PBS and they were playing Boobahs. So besides the creepy eye thing they did, that’s what I mostly associate them with.
@@fangirldreamer748 not entirely what I’m talking about, in the show yoKai are basically equivalent to ghosts and can manipulate how a person feels depending on what kind of yoKai they are, but watch a yoKai watch out of context video you will QUICKLY see what I mean-
It's even better because the entire debate was spurred by a guy who said that the anti-christ would be born Jewish not too long before he said Tinky-Winky was gay to cover his anti-semitism with an outlandish claim.
@@clarehidalgo yeah it is pretty dumb, I'm pretty sure the only ones assuming that were conservative parents I remember reading about it a while ago and apparently an upside down purple triangle used to be a symbol for queer people before the rainbow flag. But Idk honestly I just vaguely remember that 🤷♂️
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
Yes!!! I was obsessed with Teletubbies as a kid and wanted tubby custard so bad and was so excited when Burger King had it. My mom literally would buy multiple tubby custards at a time to keep in the fridge so she didn’t have to go to Burger King everyday lmao. I legit cried when they stopped carrying it. The first time I was scarred by a discontinued product.
In case anyone was wondering, Tubby Custard is made from milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and probably a dash of red food coloring, simple as that. A perfect desert to make for young Teletubbies fans, or adults who want a taste of nostalgia, literally. I kinda wanna make some myself just thinking about it!
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!
My dad used to watch tellytubbies with us and everytime Noo Noo came on screen he laughed his ass off and it was his favorite character. I too also wish to consume tubby custard
oh she would LOVE lazytown, with all of it's insane lore spread across the plays and shows and the two different canceled Sportacus backstories - I need her opinions on what songs she thinks are bops!!
When I was 4 I made my parents and brother go as the Teletubbies for Halloween. My dad didn't wanna be Tinky Winky cause he thought he was gay or something but Grandma loved the idea and was like "You can give out candy from his big red purse"
I’m trying to study education and media so I can make children’s shows, so I also look into kids shows “too deeply” but I think kids deserve the thought and consideration
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.
They should’ve done a crossover between the shows (the fact that the Teletubbies are canonically Swifties 💀, also you shoud do a Sid the Science Kid lore vid)
@@sobaka8685 the official teletubbies twitter made tweets about Taylor and made pics of the teletubbies on album covers (also there were “rumors about Taylor dating Dipsy)
Teletubbies was my first ever hyperfix i think when i was REALLLLLY little. When i got older (and was still into it) i found out what slendytubbies was (aka the creepypasta version) and then got hyperfixated on THAT. Teletubbies BUILT ME bro
When I was a kid I always thought that the Teletubbies were being held captive , which didn’t stop me from watching all the time but did lead to me having a reoccurring nightmare where Po kidnapped me.
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 UA-camr named Furkan Kılıç took it upon himself to make covers of them. You should definitely give them a listen.
The cut to Athena dancing along with the Boobahs in the suit absolutely killed me. You never fail to make me smile and exhale loudly through my nose. Thank you for all your hard work!
Fun fact, one of the main fast food chains (i think it was burger king) had a Teletubby event and served tubby custard. But it was just yogurt. Young me was very unimpressed because I had BEGGED to go eat tubby custard and it was just boring yogurt.
Anne wood also worked on In the Night Garden with Andrew Davenport. The narrator had like a ASMR level calm to his voice. It was a trip for me watching on the HUB(aka discovery family/discovery kids)
This unlocked some DEEP memories…like the fact that, for reasons I cannot fathom, I was absolutely terrified of the Teletubbies special segment with the house and the singing puppets. The kind of deep-seated, gut-churning fear that only a toddler can comprehend. Good times.
My only real experience with Boohbah as a child was through the interactive website. It was truly a surreal experience. The Story People look exactly the way I remember them.
I also, only had experience through the interactive website and it scarred me as a kid, I was horrified of boobahs. My friend was like "it's sooo funny they fart everywhere" and I'm just sitting there in horror 😂 I miss library computer time as a kid, so many fun flash games that I'll never play again
i remember as a kid loving that interactive website, but i never cared for the actual show itself. teletubbies definitely outclasses boobah by a landslide
Hey everyone, there's something that needs to be mentioned, the original location for Teletubbies was turned into a pond because the owner was so sick and tired of trespassers coming onto the set. RIP my childhood.
Unfortunately I can't say the same. Everything else about the show was cute, but I had nightmares about the voice trumpets well into high school. That said, still better than Boobah.
As an avid watcher of boobah as a child, the boobahs cannot hold a candle to the real ones, Grandpapa, Mr Man, and Auntie (who i also never saw in the show)
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.
"Je suis la jeune fille!" I retained that for all these years just from seeing that commercial so often. Imagine my fluency if my parents actually bought that course!
YESSS I FELT CRAZY CAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO DIDNT KNOW WHAT MUZZY WAS I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE CHARACTER AND WANTED THE PLUSH SOOOOO BAD I didn't even want to learn languages at the time I just loved muzzy
Tbh ALL of the Teletubbies 7 Magic Events were creepy. I remember being scared while watching the Magic House. Just all the creepy build-up until there’s a weird Scottish puppet singing at you.
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 watched boobah as a tiny human and even had a sort of furby doll of the yellow one. However there was literally no one else that even knew what it was, i legit thougbt it was some kind of hazy dream i thought of
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.
for some reason, the only thing i remembered from teletubbies is being absolutely terrified of the boy in the singing house, except i thought he was a mouse, from his silhouette. there was something menacing and ominous about it... the house coming in and out of existence... i remember the sequence almost happening in slow motion, scared of when he would make himself known. i cant explain it any more than that. just deep fear
My brother and I were Dispy and Po for Halloween once! I'm glad to have had Telitubbies over Boobah, that over 4 minute intro of kids rhythmically chanting "Bew-bah, bew-bah" followed by farting rainbow bean pod feels like a fever dream
Last night I was just watching a boobah episode because I was bored and thought about how you were gonna dissect this show and I now feel like a psychic
I remember in high school me and my friend got cross faded during a sleepover and watched both these shows at 4 in the morning it was a life changing experience
Teletubbies was one of those things I was into up until I was 13. And I wondered why I was so interested in a baby show of all things when I was also interested in shows closer to my age range at the time. Well you pretty much explained it. It's colorful, weird, and there's something charming about it. And as someone with ADHD, I relate to that "AGAIN AGAIN" thing! We make fun of it but how many times have I listened to a song or watched an episode/UA-cam video/movie over and over again??
I remember Teletubies, but I've never seen the other show. Also, I have a suggestion for lore light. 2 popular Kids cartoons from other countries that BOOMED IN POPULARITY. Peppa Pig vs Bluey, or you can do an individual video for each of them.
Make vanilla pudding and thin it out with some ripple milk, add some pink dye and pour it in a cup with a boba straw and enjoy your tubbiecustard while watching the Paw Patrol Mighty Pups movie for the 10th time since it’s incredible too. Kids media is so underrated
Boobahs... my childhood trauma... When i was little my parents had a rundown home with a huge hole in the kitchen, my parents often told stories on how i was terrified of boobahs as a kid and so they used one to keep lil itty bitty me from entering certain rooms, my parents tessingly saying "booobahh" oddly brings back a odd fear in me despite not remembering them due to being so young...
I was OBSESSED with Teletubbies as a little little kid! My mom also said I loved Boobah as a baby/toddler but no one else ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention it!!
fun face about the Teletubbies rabbits, not only were they massive so to not look tiny compared to the Teletubbies themselves, but they also did what rabbits do actively on set! Edit: at the time of making this comment i didn't see Athena get into the rabbits and about both of these fun facts i gave! lmao
14:21 hey genuinely, thank you for whipping out the tape measure to show us the length. I am autistic and can't visualize distances well so being able to see the length in relation to a person and objects really helped me visualize how FUCKING HUGE these creatures are. My god! 4 ft? These rabbits are out here the size of like, teenagers! Jfc
The fact my 27 yo ass skipped the lion and the bear segment because it terrified me as a child and I still get anxious whenever I see them or hear the audio lmao Fun fact: that episode was also banned in the UK for scaring children and isn't aired on the BBC whenever there are Teletubbies reruns. You are brave, Athena. Thank you for your service gdjsndksk
I love the makeup you did for this. Something my 4 year old likes to watch is those survival builds that aren’t really practical for survival (like underground pools and stuff like that)
My mom liked Teletubbies, but she never let me watch Boohbah only because I was apparently terrified of it. I don't remember ever watching it, so she saved me a childhood trauma there I guess. PFFT
Seeing you having the thumbnail up at 11:31 makes me feel like you saw the plagiarism video and are being careful to not fall prey to those mistakes lol 😂 many props to you
4:44 I would watch this sequence over an over as a child and I loved it. Umm yeah turns out I’m autistic and my special interest is animals. To this day I still love scenes in movies where big multi species groups of animals walk in one direction
I learned from another UA-camr who covered the Teletubbies that several outdoor scenes needed to be reshot because the rabbits were doing what rabbits do best 😂😂
seeing people find out about flemish giants is always so funny to me lol. also i would hope the rabbits were fixed and if that’s the case humping is just their way of expressing dominance
You're so brave for doing this! Never watched Boobah, and thank Zeus I didn't, and only saw one episode of Teletubbies on PBS Kids Sprout and immediately was like "This ain't it, chief." imma stick to my Jay Jay the Jet Plane, DragonTales, etc.😂😂😂
Realistically, teletubbies is just alien children learning about our world one piece at a time. We sort of do the same with their world through things like nunu, the teletubby diet, the pinwheel, and the sentient sun. I assume boobah is sensory purgatory for the poorsouls of storyland. Who give gifts in an attempt to be spared/forgiven and get to heaven or return to earth. Hence why it's a new person everytime?

For me, I immediately heard "Following Stanley" in my head

Teletubbies make more sense if you think of them as baby gods and the world they are in as their nursery.
That’s a really cool concept
Alr, I know what my next project is. Ty for the inspo LOL
Is this supposed to an ElderTubbies reference?
For anyone who doesn't know, it's a series of artworks that depict this exact concept, with the teletubbies as their full adult forms.
Yeah, that's what I kinda figured they were. This was like a day-care place that they've been placed in where they can learn and grow in safety.

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.
Loving the little UFO necklace!
I watched boobah as a tiny human and even had a sort of furby doll of the yellow one.
However there was literally no one else that even knew what it was, i legit thougbt it was some kind of hazy dream i thought of
Can we agree the makeup is amazinggg and thank you for doing the Boobah Dance in a Boobah-like suit 😂❤
26:31 OMG bitchbah ATE 😭💅🏾🏳️🌈✨
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.
for some reason, the only thing i remembered from teletubbies is being absolutely terrified of the boy in the singing house, except i thought he was a mouse, from his silhouette. there was something menacing and ominous about it... the house coming in and out of existence... i remember the sequence almost happening in slow motion, scared of when he would make himself known. i cant explain it any more than that. just deep fear
My brother and I were Dispy and Po for Halloween once! I'm glad to have had Telitubbies over Boobah, that over 4 minute intro of kids rhythmically chanting "Bew-bah, bew-bah" followed by farting rainbow bean pod feels like a fever dream
Last night I was just watching a boobah episode because I was bored and thought about how you were gonna dissect this show and I now feel like a psychic
oh perfect both roots of my childhood traumas in one video!! these shows were nightmare fuel to the max in the best way
4:45 love the slow motion tim allen grunt
Lol
I remember in high school me and my friend got cross faded during a sleepover and watched both these shows at 4 in the morning it was a life changing experience
Teletubbies was one of those things I was into up until I was 13. And I wondered why I was so interested in a baby show of all things when I was also interested in shows closer to my age range at the time.
Well you pretty much explained it. It's colorful, weird, and there's something charming about it. And as someone with ADHD, I relate to that "AGAIN AGAIN" thing! We make fun of it but how many times have I listened to a song or watched an episode/UA-cam video/movie over and over again??
when I was a baby I had, either a onesie or costume of po, which was very well made looking back at the photo
I remember Teletubies, but I've never seen the other show. Also, I have a suggestion for lore light. 2 popular Kids cartoons from other countries that BOOMED IN POPULARITY. Peppa Pig vs Bluey, or you can do an individual video for each of them.
Holy shit that hot dog and sauce scene from boobah brought back SO MANY memories!
Make vanilla pudding and thin it out with some ripple milk, add some pink dye and pour it in a cup with a boba straw and enjoy your tubbiecustard while watching the Paw Patrol Mighty Pups movie for the 10th time since it’s incredible too. Kids media is so underrated
Boobahs... my childhood trauma...
When i was little my parents had a rundown home with a huge hole in the kitchen, my parents often told stories on how i was terrified of boobahs as a kid and so they used one to keep lil itty bitty me from entering certain rooms, my parents tessingly saying "booobahh" oddly brings back a odd fear in me despite not remembering them due to being so young...
I was OBSESSED with Teletubbies as a little little kid! My mom also said I loved Boobah as a baby/toddler but no one else ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention it!!
Bless Queen Athena for subjecting herself to this for our viewing pleasure.
I’m Boohbah coded, sorry. It will forever have me in a grip.
Edit: hot dog ep. and painting fence ep., iconic.
fun face about the Teletubbies rabbits, not only were they massive so to not look tiny compared to the Teletubbies themselves, but they also did what rabbits do actively on set! Edit: at the time of making this comment i didn't see Athena get into the rabbits and about both of these fun facts i gave! lmao
What? Pooping? Having sex? 😂😅
they fuuuuuuuuuuucked
14:21 hey genuinely, thank you for whipping out the tape measure to show us the length. I am autistic and can't visualize distances well so being able to see the length in relation to a person and objects really helped me visualize how FUCKING HUGE these creatures are. My god! 4 ft? These rabbits are out here the size of like, teenagers! Jfc
I'd say the "average" height of teens would be between 5ft 4 to 6ft. I reckon 4ft is more or less elementary school age.
@@A_Username-kt5xi ah I see, like a 4-5th grader? That makes sense (I've got little cousins so that helps and my god, holy shit that's big!!)
The way the memories came flooding back when I saw the green Scratch "play" flag at 34:28...
The fact my 27 yo ass skipped the lion and the bear segment because it terrified me as a child and I still get anxious whenever I see them or hear the audio lmao
Fun fact: that episode was also banned in the UK for scaring children and isn't aired on the BBC whenever there are Teletubbies reruns.
You are brave, Athena. Thank you for your service gdjsndksk
Love the polka dot eyebrows, ur makeup is always gorg!!!
Now do the Teletubbies vs In the Night Garden?? They are both practical effects, with wacky creatures haha!
I was thinking the same thing!!!
I freaking loved the dancing bear! He’s so adorable. My friends keep saying he’s scary but I disagree he’s an adorable mini dancing Winnie the Pooh!
I love the makeup you did for this. Something my 4 year old likes to watch is those survival builds that aren’t really practical for survival (like underground pools and stuff like that)
23:14 I remember having a strong emotional reaction to the tap, dancing, teddy bear, and I’m not sure if it was a positive emotion
“Seeing Grandma-ma and grand pa-pa devouring it from both ends, I’ll have what they’re having!”
Athena P - 2024
I used to play the games on pbs for these shows. They gave me headaches and nausea. Truly my first taste of what an acid trip was.
My mom liked Teletubbies, but she never let me watch Boohbah only because I was apparently terrified of it. I don't remember ever watching it, so she saved me a childhood trauma there I guess. PFFT
Seeing you having the thumbnail up at 11:31 makes me feel like you saw the plagiarism video and are being careful to not fall prey to those mistakes lol 😂 many props to you
I'm such a Stan at this point. If Athena P has no fans, I have died
23:14 omg I forgot how much I LOVED that little guy
20:20 im suprised athena didn't mention that the line delivery sounded almost EXACTKY like red guy given her undying love for him
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared? 😅😂
You have some of the best one-liners I have ever heard from any of my fave creators on YT, this is insanely good
4:44 I would watch this sequence over an over as a child and I loved it. Umm yeah turns out I’m autistic and my special interest is animals. To this day I still love scenes in movies where big multi species groups of animals walk in one direction
Such a great video! I always look forward to your uploads, just brightens my day!
The teletubbies actually have a TikTok where they post memes and promos for the reboot
I used to own two Flemish Giants a couple of years ago, and yes, they were huge.
I learned from another UA-camr who covered the Teletubbies that several outdoor scenes needed to be reshot because the rabbits were doing what rabbits do best 😂😂
seeing people find out about flemish giants is always so funny to me lol. also i would hope the rabbits were fixed and if that’s the case humping is just their way of expressing dominance
I found out the breed of rabbits when looking up the Wikia and made me want to get them sometime as I have wanted to have bunnies since I was a kid
I'm sure they weren't fixed 😅 as several scenes had to be refilmed from them uh..getting busy on camera.
You're so brave for doing this! Never watched Boobah, and thank Zeus I didn't, and only saw one episode of Teletubbies on PBS Kids Sprout and immediately was like "This ain't it, chief." imma stick to my Jay Jay the Jet Plane, DragonTales, etc.😂😂😂
24:19 im sorry did you just say the beatboxing puppy
🎶Im the beatbozing puppy🎶

Have a blessed week ahead Athena 💜💜💜
Realistically, teletubbies is just alien children learning about our world one piece at a time. We sort of do the same with their world through things like nunu, the teletubby diet, the pinwheel, and the sentient sun. I assume boobah is sensory purgatory for the poorsouls of storyland. Who give gifts in an attempt to be spared/forgiven and get to heaven or return to earth. Hence why it's a new person everytime?
That outfit is SURVIVING❤️🔥❤️🔥
"It's a pile of balls."
"It's a hammock."
Yay!! Another video from the brave lore queen herself!! Also, I love your makeup!! 😁✨
The sun plays fnaf. My life is complete
