I recently came across a children’s television phenomenon called Yo Gabba Gabba! Parents in the audience are surely already way onto this scene… but it’s basically a dance/fun troupe lead by DJ Lance, who might have in fact been a member of Deee-lite at some point. He dj’s for a rag-tag team of fun-loving monsters, robots, cyclopses and the like. It was expressly created by some 30-something parents who wanted to use hip-hop to get their kids to eat vegetables. For example:
Somehow the whole Gabba enterprise reminds me in its production values of a show for adults that is near to my heart: the absurd-errific Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job…. a late-night show expressly created by 30-somethings to get themselves to smoke more pot. The video below is directed by Eric. You might also know him from such awesome videos as Major Laser, which if you have not seen you have not fully lived.
