Anyone know what this is? I saw it on the Hot Topic website on some of their kids clothing. I am assuming that ti is some strange Japanese kids program, but I have never heard of it.

I watched part of that show with my daughter once. MAN was it ever annoying. I skip right over it when it is on.


myLot reputation of 93/100. sedel1027 (12396)  1 year ago

So it is a kids show? Like puppets?


myLot reputation of 98/100. lilybug (15265)  1 year ago

Yeah it is a kids show. It is on Nickjr in the mornings. It kind of reminds me of a combination of Teletubbies and The Wiggles.

Hosted by a human character named DJ Lance Rock, the series features a mix of live-action segments with cartoonish costumed characters Muno the red cyclops, Foofa the pink flower bubble, Brobee the little green one, Toodee the blue cat-dragon and Plex the robot, plus many short animated sketches and musical numbers.[3]

In its first season, the show featured a wide variety of guests, including Leslie Hall, The Shins, The Aggrolites, Cornelius, Biz Markie, Shiny Toy Guns, Supernova, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rahzel, The Postmarks, Sugarland, Tony Hawk, Low, Laila Ali, Elijah Wood, Mýa, The Salteens and series co-creator Jacobs' band, The Aquabats.

The absurd style of humor used in the show is intended, like The Aquabats, to appeal to adults through its manic, frenzied approach to wholesome messages, while at the same time carrying all the content of the average Nick Jr. program for the whole family.

LOLI don't even know who half of those guests are. Doesn't seem too main stream.


myLot reputation of 98/100. lilybug (15265)  1 year ago

Yeah, I only recognized a few of them.

My grandson (5) watches this every once in a while. For a long time he hated it, I think it's because it has such weird looking characters. Then one day he heard them singing a song about brushing teeth and he enjoyed that part. I think it's the strangest kids show I've ever seen. I don't think it's a Japanese program. Personally, I find it really annoying at best. They must have been really stretching for an unusual subject & theme to come up with this one lol.


myLot reputation of 93/100. sedel1027 (12396)  1 year ago

I am sure they were trying to break away from this, X amount of adult males singing soungs and dancing around like goobers routine that is rather old. I don't get that either.

I know all about it because it is my 1 year old son's favorite show! Until recently it was my three year old daughter's favorite show as well, but when she saw how much her brother liked it, she decided to like something else. LOL

It airs on Nickjr and Noggin. You've already gotten a pretty good description in one of the above posts, but I find that they throw in references and guest that appeal to me (I'm in my thirties) because they were popular when I was younger - such as Biz Mark E, Tony Hawk, Layla Ali (Mohamed Ali's daughter) and even the cartoons often show things I'm familiar with, like dancing frogs wearing Kanga Hats and Run DMC glasses.

The music is catchy, often with a techno type beat, and I have heard the songs enough that I can sing them word for word, much to my son's delight and my daughter's annoyance. LOL


myLot reputation of 47/100. MSV1313 (2243)  1 year ago

OH, and it's much less annoying than Barney, who scares the crap out of my kid for some reason. LOL


myLot reputation of 47/100. MSV1313 (2243)  1 year ago

One more thing, here's a link so you can go straight to the source and find out about this show:

myLot reputation of 93/100. sedel1027 (12396)  1 year ago

My son is 9 so I am waayy past that stage. I am surprised my brother didn't know about this show. My Nephew is only 4. They normally know about all the weird kids shows.

The only "different" show that was just starting to com eon when my son was 2 - maybe 3 - was Dora the Explorer. Oh and there was teletubbies, but by the time that cam eon he was too old for it too.

Do the kids recognize any of the "famous" people? I am surprised Tony Hawk does appearances, heck I am surprised he still skateboarding LOL


myLot reputation of 47/100. MSV1313 (2243)  1 year ago

Nah, my kids don't recognize the "famous people" I think the show just puts them there for us parents who are forced to watch the kiddie shows with our babies.
My daughter saw the teletubbies once, they scared her. LOL!
Both kids love Dora and my little girl speaks more Spanish and understands more Spanish when she hears it (which is often as we are in NY), than I do - and I took Spanish class in High School! LOL!
