      Puppeteers are willing to contort into any number of uncomfortable positions for their craft.
      For example, Bear, from Bear in the Big Blue House is an entire production in himself, with his Puppeteer/voice actor hidden away in the belly, one arm controlling Bear's working arm, the other acting as his mouth. The Puppeteer lines himself up using a tv screen hidden in the suit, because there are no eyeholes to look out of.

    A standard Muppet watching Oobi is the equivalent of a human watching a show about a family of human skulls that does everything with their jaws.
    Edit: I just realized! You didn’t even mention the fact that the statues and garden gnomes in some of the episodes are designed to have hands as heads like the other Oobi characters.

    I was hoping for an anatomy segment that spiraled out of control this episode and I sure did get it! Fun fact about the shorts: It's partially lost media! Two shorts are completely lost, and one is missing the ending. It is impressive how many shorts have been found within the past year alone though, this time last year I believe around five or six shorts were missing but some were found in various Noggin compilations. Due to that I believe that the last two shorts can be found, hopefully within the year!

    I love your videos. Your lore videos are great and make me so nostalgic! Have you ever thought of doing one on Liberty’s Kids? That was a huge part of elementary school history classes. All the episodes are free on RUclips. The lore is amazing. It covers almost 20 years but no characters age. Plus, the cast randomly has Ralph Fiennes, Dustin Hoffman, and Arnold Scwartznegger. Plus there’s a rap song over a decade before Hamilton. It’s iconic.

    If you want to review another commercial, I believe the old poptart commercials (When they had sentient poptarts) has some kind of lore. I remember a couple intertwined conmercials, as well as the big web event where you had to find out who was killing all the poptarts or something. I forget exactly what it was about. All I know is it ended with the Frosted Blueberry Ninja poptart.

    I remember enjoying the show as a kid. I was always so confused watching the hands turn their body around and kept trying to figure out how to make my hand do that. It really bothered me for a while until I forgot about it. When I was reminded of oobies in college I came to the realization that the actors themselves just turned around then facepalmed and went on with my life.

  • @dank_smirk2ndchannel200
    @dank_smirk2ndchannel200 Год назад +4

    Considering that a lot of what the Handfolk (what I’m calling the people that Oobi belongs to for the sake of simplicity) do doesn’t seem to be based of where tier stuff would be biologically or logically (like where their mouths are for instance) but instead as a representation of it, much like a shadow puppet it seems. There mouths aren’t where they should be biologically but there it would look like at the time. We’ve also seen them do some weird things too that make no sense, such as a fire fighter removing their eyes and laying them on a steering wheel, or large amounts of hair growing overnight, or being a completely different shape (a foot) being just the equivalent of a disability, or talking about marching and having teeth despite not having either.
    With all this in mind, perhaps the Handfolk might be some sort of fey creature that for some reason became fleshy for some reason and got stuck in our world somehow and became naturalized while retaining a good deal of their nonsense traits.

  • @tex56

    The hand fish really unnerved me as a kid. Mainly cause Grampu intended to cook it for dinner. I just kept picturing a hand jerking around in a frying pan and feeling sick. Would you have to skin it and remove the bones? Or does it just look like a hand and have fish flesh inside? Other than that uncomfortable scene, I loved this show.
    Although I blame it for making four year old me think that a vaccine was just blowing into a noise maker(basically, Oobi was given a noise maker to blow into while the shot went into his “back”.). Since I was paying attention to the noise maker, I didn’t see his doctor take the shot out. So I was pretty terrified when I asked for a noise maker when I was told it was time for a shot, only to be told there was no noise maker and that a needle was going to be pierced into my arm 🥲

    my theory for the hand-biology is that they’re sort of like octopi or other cephalopods, and the fingers are like tentacles while the “mouth” is some unseen structure on or in the palm like an octopus’ beak.
    by this logic, the foot gives me cuttlefish vibes, but i honestly don’t have a further explanation for that

    1. The fact that you were able to sit through this show is a miracle in itself. I just tried watching the Anchors Away episode to see what you meant about Freida, and I instantly wanted to go visit my evil rooster.
    2. With the way these characters talk, it’s insulting to children. It’s more educational to sit them in front of an Athena P video than an Oobi episode simply because the Oobi characters don’t speak more than three words in one sentence. While the typical three-year-old *speaks* in three-word sentences, they’re able to *understand* more than that.

      I would suggest Danny Phantom as it is quite similar to word girl in some aspects and I think you might enjoy that.
      Or if you want something where you have to do quite a lot of research to just understand how the lore works and depending on which season you watch you could try to do the lore of Digimon.
