I think I saw Yo Gabba Gabba once in my lifetime.

You need your office to be like pee-wee's playhouse. Anytime you say cockjoke the whole office goes craaaaazy

Am I on your short list of awesome people? :D

Mothersbaugh, didn't he also do the music for Rugrats?

Get your kid to watch a show where he can learn HTML 5, XML and PHP.

Because wouldn't be nice to say that your own son manages your newgrounds servers?

You gotta post that awesome list on Newgrounds some time.

WHAT ABOUT THOMAS DAMMIT?
I GREW UP WITH THAT FUCKING TALKING TRAIN!

Nice Hat :D

Are we not men?

He is a genius, barely a day goes by without me humming the awesome tunes from The Life Aquatic.

you actually let your kid watch that shit?

lmao the only thing yo gabba gabba provides is nightmares and bad acid trips

HA there was a guy on NGC forever ago named Devo and his character always had that red cone hat thing

Lol i understand what that was all about now.

That guy in the pic kinda reminds me of Parappa the Rappa for some reason! :P

so does Junior watch rugrats? (god i loved it as a child)

o and i would buy that hat for anything....

l8s

lol, the face !

no wonder i find myself hypnotically drawn to that odd black man with his odd black gums and his odd black SOUL

yo gabba gabba is still amazing

cool Tom... cool

Holy shit! Did they do "Whip It"?

whip it whip it good! ahh devo one of my favourite new wave bands..and tom am i in your list of awesome people?

That show is crazy. I've watched it many times just because I'm in awe of the things they do. They have the Aquabats make guest performances (which sound pretty similar to Devo), and they had the Ting Tings sing their happy birthday song:

When I turned 24 the other day, I listened to it about 5 times. Is it better than the real happy birthday song? Maybe so.

type in utube "weird al dare to be stupid"

Isn't embumbsworld.com just great?
You guys should get off this site and go to it
Really!

OH LORD

I AM SO TIRED

HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON????

Yeah, Mark is pretty awesome

I LIKE FISH

I LIKE FISH

I LIKE FISH

I LIKE FISH

OMG!!!!!!!

He help make music for "JAK II"

Dude! I would've never thought someone from way back would have such an influence on the things on TV I have become so familiar with today.

===

I've seen a few episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba when I babysat my little cousins.

My first impression was...."Da hell?"

Cause some of the songs are just so..."weird"

I mean...have you really ever listened to them?

"Party in my Tummy" - I suppose it's to encourage good appetite.
"Don't Bite Your Friends" D8> da hell? I never bit my friends.
"Noodles are fun fun fun" - yes....yes they are.

But that's because I believe it is heavily Japanese inspired.
In some episodes I've noticed things like 'Daruma-Dolls' and 'Gundam-like-Robots'.

When I was little, they used to have shows like that on "Kiku TV" a Japanese broadcasting station made just for Hawaii.

Had all the same kind of stuff, puppets, singing, dancing....

But they would sing stuff like..."cookies' and milk' or 'what did we learn in school today'.

But now that it's in english, I question the effect on kids.

But so far, my cousins show no real sign of 'disturbance'. I guess I'm the only one 'disturbed.'

---Where Yo Gabba Gabba was inspired from----

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsXBGB 6n8HM - similar no?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVVvUS C5pv4 - this one I remember.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PohiLt ZodiY - oh god, I remember this, where's your head, where's your tummy...

You should like....make a Flash for your kid.

Something like those old Japanese kid's show.

Or maybe a spoof.

fuckin Rugrats man

The music isall like BAAAW BAAAWW

Here is an example of another Japanese puppet inspired music video.

Dude....remember 'Captain Underpants'?

well...back then they commissioned a Japanese artist to do a few music videos for the book series.

I still crack up when I watch it.

'Shaking Hands' - look for the gorilla
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbGuLh W0zVU

You could 'totally' do something like this.

Even with real puppets. You guys never did puppet shows before. It might be an interesting challenge!

Devo has also done music for games, like Interstate '82...
It's really cool when serious artist or professionals do good stuff for kids, not just the typical everyday crap...
For example, I look with different eyes that show, Lazy Town, after reading about his creator and the actor behind Sportacus, Magnus Schieving who also happens to be the atlet with the biggest common sense I've seen in my entire life...

I didn't know you had a kid Tom, my big congratulations to you :)

Yeah Mark Mothersbaugh kicks ass, he's one of my favorite musical producers, which goes hand in hand with Wes Anderson because he's one of my favorite fucking directors!

Whip it!

Time out for fun! dun dun dun dun~

Wth is that? sounds gay i never watched it

Wonder if your kid will be into flash.

They sued McDonald's because of a toy's likeness of them.

My favorite Ska band ever is The Aquabats. They play in the show often. Check them out sometime. I recomend the songs My Skateboard, Powdered Milkman, and Pizza Day.

LOL Utah just posted a nostalgic post, I bet that he would enjoy Pizza Day too.

UL love um Tom.

yea Mark Mothersbaugh has done a shit load of music for alot of shows..Devo rules

Who's on your short list of awesome people?

Also, Yo Gabba Gabba is dumb. :C

Due to my sisters kid, I've been watching alot of Yo Gabba Gabba, and those songs just don't leave the head so easily and are rather trippy, but the kid loves to dance.

Pretty cool to know how far Devo has gone into daily life.

Hmm?

Did you say Yo Gabba Gabba is the best children's show ever?

That show sucks!

Sucks!

The Aquabats frontman made that show, of course it fucking rules.

:D Love you Fulp.

Yo Gabba Gabba is..no...just no

I actually watched a Yo Gabba Gabba episode once. Kid's Shows have come a long twisted way since my Barnie days lol

Are you gonna tell us your sons name or are you gonna keep it secret because of privacy issues? Just like Wade. Must run in the family. Or something. Maybe your son will be like that when he runs NG one day.

Foot fetishism, foot partialism, foot worship, or podophilia is a pronounced sexual interest in feet. It is the most common form of sexual preference for otherwise non-sexual objects or body parts.
Foot fetish has been defined as a pronounced sexual interest in the feet or footwear. Freud considered foot binding as a form of fetishism. For a foot fetishist, points of attraction include the shape and size of the foot and toes (e.g. long toes, short toes, pointed toes, high arches, slender soles, fat toes, long toenails, short toenails, small feet, toenail color), jewelry, toe rings, ankle bracelets, treatments e.g. French pedicure, state of dress (e.g. barefoot, flip flops, or clad in socks or nylons), odor, and any form of sensory interaction, e.g. licking, kissing, sucking, tickling, person giving foot jobs, pedal pumping or trampling/stomping. Foot job is known as a type of sexual activity with feet.

"Gut Feeling" from Life Aquatic was that awesome track.

Who ever made that show is awesome.

Hi Tom, how is your day so far?

ok...

Tom, you should totally wear a hat like that and dance around like a nerd. You know, standard Newgrounds promotion, like that kid in the Hot Dog Suit.

Whip it Whip it Good!!

For more information, see "Coneheads: The Movie!"

Devo's discography: Igotts it.

life aquatic is awesome :)

WHAT THE FUCK IS YO GABBA GABBA some kinda american hip hop childrens show

because i have really no idea

Awwww how cute!

Am I on your list of awesome list?

AQUABATS

Devo suing McDonalds: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles /2008/06/devo-to-sue-mcdonalds-over-h appy-meal-toy.html

who do i have to murder to get on that short list of people?

Now that we're raising a kid, we find ourselves watching a lot of Yo Gabba Gabba, possibly the best kids' show ever. Some of the episodes have a segment in the tradition of Picture Pages where an artist shows kids how to draw stuff. What I never realized is the artist is Devo front man Mark Mothersbaugh!

I've always loved Devo but I never researched any of the band members until this morning. It turns out Mark has done a lot of music for kids' shows, including the Pee Wee's Playhouse theme song. He also scored all the Wes Anderson films, so when you watch Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums or Life Aquatic, you're hearing a lot of Mark.

I'm officially adding Mark to my short list of awesome people.

yeah he's pretty much awesome... check out his paintings at a gallery when you can.

Tom you awesome :D
