Yo Gabba Gabba: Countdown To Annihilation


Biz Markie could be pulling a Silver Shamrock on us.
He's part of what looks to be a new wickedawesome show on Nick Jr. Yo Gabba Gabba, co-created by Christian Jacobs of AquaBats fame, is slated to take over your world on August 20. But already a few promo clips are turning kids into crazed automatrons. There's obviously some level of mind control going on here. I've seen these promotional snippets of dancing monsters and addictive beats laid down by Ernest Thomas' long lost brother turn my friend's toddler into a hopping maniac. Biz Markie's segment (aptly named Biz's Beat of The Day) triggers a pavlovian response, turning her into a walking beatbox. I sneezed and she immediately whirled around and responded with a series of beats and breaths. I think she thought I was speaking her language. Hope I didn't say anything insulting.
I gotta tell you, I'm a little bit scared. It's like that Ray Bradbury story, Invasion, where neighborhood kids all over America start communications with an alien army. Under the guise of playing a game called Invasion (natch), these kids serve as accomplices to the evil space people, setting the stage for our eradication. Or, if we're lucky, it's more like Halloween 3 and the show will simply broadcast a signal designed to explode the kids' heads.
Either way, when August 20 rolls around, don't say I didn't warn you.

LOL!!!! My son did this the other day and I couldn't figure out where he picked it up. I just thought he was being weird.
