I remember watching this when I was little and I never thought it could go that far when it comes to their “species”. I’ll be honest I used to think this was just a show about these kids and their grandfather and all they did was play with their hands as people all throughout the house which is a reason why we are seeing this and why we don’t ever see their full bodies. And this was then they were still doing the shorts before the actual show premiered. I mean think about it, they live in a regular size house with full size furniture, appliances, musical instruments like pianos and guitars, etc. Plus my naive little self who didn’t know exactly how the television business works and how hard puppetry can be thought they were actually kids,not exactly an actual 4-5 year old using their hand as Oobi, Uma, Kako but like a preteen Nickelodeon/Disney channel age actor with the only adult as Grandpu since it looked simple and primitive

I live in Mexico. And here we had a football review TV show that aired during championships and other important events. In the show, there was one actor that used his hand like Oobi to make puns and other jokes, they called the character "El compayito" which is something like little buddy. All my life i thought that it was something original from that show; and discovering this just now it's just mind-blowing.

damn this didn’t just unlock memories it took my neurons and pried them open with a crowbar. i liked oobi even though i thought it was creepy. the combo of puppetry, limited dialogue, and airing early in the morning probably contributed to that

Fingers crossed for a Wonderpets video. I haven't heard that name in a while but as soon as I saw it a visceral wave of pleasant nostalgia washed over me.

Pretty sure it started through the Go Baby interstitials, or was at least the same studio.

i was born in 2003. this was my favorite thing to watch as a kid and i rediscovered it at 16 and have been rewatching them, even until this day.

This show was so wholesome and adorable, I loved it so much growing up that I would get the same type of eyes for the hand and make up characters with my grandmother, oobi was definitely a show I wish would exit now a days

I was on the verge of straight up believing this show was a fever dream. I've never met anyone who ever heard of it and I couldn't find it for some reason when I went looking for it years ago. I'm surprised to hear how popular it was considering how difficult it was for me to find.

oobi was my CHILDHOOD and originally got me stuck on wanting to be an actor and ventriloquist. despite wanting to be a psychologist and mental health researcher, my love of acting and being in the spotlight from my childhood with oobi has not left me :]!

This show is so nostalgic to me. When I was very young I would visit my grandparents every summer and when I would visit my maternal grandmother, she'd lay me on the couch for nap time and we'd watch Oobi, and after everyone, my grandparents included, took a nap, she'd take me to swim lessons. Then at night before bed we'd watch The Golden Girls.

Knowing that this was based on Muppet training exercises makes me respect it a whole lot more like wow

Lol same, or I would call him just “Oobi”, either one, I even made my own character too called “handy” very big brain!

I remember back in 5th grade, we had a small little friend group that all had a younger sibling that watched Oobi, so we all took on the names of the characters in a mocking fashion that any 10 year-old would do. Simpler times

This was my absolute favorite show as a toddler. My mom told me that when it ended, I cried because I didn't want it to end. Ahhh, memories.

Oobi was trying to throw a big elaborate birthday party for Uma, but Uma got upset because it was “too much party” I forgot what happened at the end tho lol.

man i remember watching this all the time as a kid. i kept recognizing clips throughout the video.

i love how you presented the opening of this video in the same way that noggin did before airing an episode of a show, explaining the educational components of it and what key lessons children can learn from it.

Does it make anyone else feel old how television like this is now dead? Cable is dying because streaming is the future. I remember watching this show and absolutely loving Noggin, and I just can't help but feel sad knowing that other than my future kids, this media will one day be lost or forgotten by everyone. Life seems unreal...

I’m really fortunate to have a really good long term memory and I can clearly remember watching this as a really really small kid, I absolutely loved the way they talked. As a child, there was something so warm and comforting about them using two to three simple words that I can still feel when watching this as a 28 year old. It was just so simple for me to fully understand as a tiny kid that I can remember always being so happy watching it :)

I vividly remember being in the dentist waiting room at like 6 years old with this on the TV. It was a segment where the hands were trying to high five but kept missing, and the girl hand was like "I can't dooo it..." It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen as a kid lol

It is interesting how the use of hands rather than full puppets increases their ability to vary expression by combining both imitations of facial expressions and expressions made using hands. My favourite that I spotted were when they 'scratched' the side of their pointer finger with their thumb to represent scratching their head and when Oobi flattend out his hand to show he's all chill. It's really a testement to how good our brains are at recognising visual signs that even as kids we can watch this and understand the expressions even though they code switch between being hands and being faces constantly.
