(spacey music)
- Hobble-doop, tiddly peeps.
I'm Hubba Hubba talking
to you from Hoobland,
and I'm about to send
four of my favorite Hoobs
down to earth to find
out all about you
for my great Hoobapedia.
Here they come!
(spacey music)
♪ You know who the Hoobs are ♪

♪ We're Hoobs ♪

- Yeah, heh-heh heh heh.
Okay, hoobily groovily.
- NO.
- Okay.
Let's try this one then.
Hooble dooble dooper.
- Nooo!
- Okay.
- What ya doing?
- Oh, we're looking
through my collection
of words to use if
you like something.
- Oh, well, what
you doing that for?
- Oh, well I thought that
at the end of Hoob News
it might be a Hooby Groovy
idea to tell Hubba Hubba
how we really feel about him.
- That is a hooby groovy idea.
- Yeah. (chuckles)
Hey, why don't we tell
him he's hooby groovy?
- No, Groove, because you
call everything hooby groovy.
What we need is a
really special word.
A word more hooby groovy
than hooby groovy.
- More hoobacious
than hoobacious?
- More hooble dooble dooper
than hooble dooble dooper?
- Yes.
A word that sums up just
how hoobily groovily
Hubba Hubba is.
- But what?
♪ What, what, what ♪
♪ What ♪
- Nah.
- I don't know what.
There's only one hoob
who knows lots of words,
and that's Hubba Hubba.
I'll ask him.
- Oh.
(upbeat music)
Ha-ha-ha.
Right then.
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- Hooble doob, hoobs.
- Hooble doob, Hubba Hubba.
- Um we were just wondering,
do you know a word
that means even more
hooble dooble dooper
than hooble dooble dooper?
- I most certainly do.
The longest word in
the Hoob dictionary.
(clears throat)
(inhales)
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.
- Phew, that is a long word.
- I took me ages to learn it.
What do you need it for?
- Oh (stammers) um.
- It's for Grooves
collection of words
to use for something you like.
Thanks, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- Hooby galooby that word had
loads of bellies in it.
- Heh, yes, fan-um.
- belly
- Fanbelly?
- Fan-something-belly-belly.
(laughing)
belly belly belly belly.
- No, no, no, it was
much longer than that.
We need to learn
the whole thing.
- Yeah, well we're trying, Iver,
but how do you learn knew words?
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- You've just hit
the question, Groove.
- How do you learn new words?
That's a
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilygs
question for today's Hoob News!
- You see?
Hoob loads of billies.
Told ya.
- Did you get it?
- Not all of it.
Hooby bother.
- I will email Roma to see
what she can find out, Hoobs.
But first, let me look
on Hoobnet and see
if we can discover how
Tiddlypeeps learn new words.
Ha, just that might be
a good start, really.
Oh, yes, here we go.
Right, now let's see what
we've got here, Hoobs.
Ha, these look like happy
little chaps, don't they?
See?
(baby cooing)
They're trying to
communicate something.
They don't use proper
words yet, you see, Hoobs
because they're
squiddly Tiddlypeeps,
and so they make
other sounds, you see.
Like, da, da, da.
And mum, mum, mum.
So they're trying to express
themselves, you see, hoobs.
Using their sounds instead
of the the big Peep words.
(Iver speaking gibberish)
ha, ha-ha-ha.
- Ga-ga, goo-goo.
- Oh, da, da, da, do.
- Da, ga, ga-ga, goo-goo.
(laughing)
- Shush, please.
I'm trying to
remember that word.
Fantabitroo.
- Bloo, bloo.
- Bloo bloo?
No, Groove, it
doesn't go like that.
Oh, now I've forgotten it again.
I wonder how squiggly
Tiddlypeeps get
from making noises to saying
proper Tiddlypeep words.
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba?
- Funny you should
ask that, Tula,
because I just found this
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilygs
story on the Hoobnet.
(laughing)
- belly belly. (laughing)
- Did you get it?
- (stammers) Fantabitroobily...
No, not quite.
- Oh.
(screaming)
- [Computer] Baby Ben
liked making noises.
He could make screaming noises.
(screaming)
He could make squawking noises.
(squawking)
(dishes clattering)
And he could make
screeching noises,
that rattled cups
and wobbled saucers.
(screeching)
Ben lived with a lady, and
a small smelly furry thing,
that made noises
rather like he did.
- Meow.
- [Computer] But the lady made
completely different noises.
When she gave Ben his
sweet slurpy stuff
she made a noise like this.
- Dinner.
- [Computer] When she pointed
at the smelly furry thing,
she mad a noise like this.
- Cat.
- [Computer] And when
she pointed to herself,
she made a noise like this.
- Mommy.
- [Computer] She would
make these noises
over and over again.
But Ben would just go.
(screaming)
Then one day,
(stomach growling)
Ben really felt like
some of that sweet slurpy stuff.
He tried screaming.
(baby screaming)
(cat screeching)
He tried squawking.
(baby squawking)
(dishes clattering)
He even tried the
biggest screech ever.
(baby screeching)
But the lady just looked at him.
- Meow.
- [Computer] Then suddenly,
a sound came into his head.
- Dinner.
- Dinner.
- [Computer] He said,
and the lady brought over
some of the sweet slurpy stuff.
Baby Ben looked up at the lady
and another word
came into his head.
- Mommy.
(gasps)
- [Computer] He said.
And the lady was so
excited, she gave a screech.
(laughing)
That rattled the cups
and wobbled the saucers.
- Oh, so that's how
Tiddlypeeps learn words.
Their peep moms and
dads say them to them
over and over again.
- So we should ask Hubba
Hubba to say his long word
to us over and over again.
- Yes, yes.
And I write the word down,
then we can read it out
hoobles of times
until we learn it.
Hooby pen.
- Heh, all I know is, I
like the bellies best.
belly, belly, belly,
belly, belly, belly.
- (laughing) Ah!
There we are, right.
(clears throat)
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba?
- What can I do for you, Hoobs?
- Well, we were thinking
that that big word
might be useful for Hoob News.
So, could you just say it over
and over for us, Hubba Hubba?
- Certainly, Tula.
Glad to. (clears throat)
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.
- Ahem, belly, belly, belly.
-
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.
(laughing) It's not
easy learning new words.
Especially ones as long as that.
But, I bet I know
who could help you.
The Tiddlypeeps.
- Of course!
- And while you're there,
you could teach them
some Hoob words too.
- Fantabibellybellybelly
all day, Hubba Hubba.
I'll go.
- I'll drive.
Oh let's get those
Motorettes singing.
(laughing)
Fantabitroobilygroobily,
something...
Something.
- Seat belt?
- Yes, thank you.
- We're off to see
the Tiddlypeeps.
- Ha-ha.

- Hooble doob, Groove.
- Do you want to
do a hooby hello?
- Yes.
- Hoobledoob, hooble
doob, woot, woot, woot.
- Hey that was hooby groovy.
Would you like to learn
some more Hoob words?
- We'd love to.
- Oh, good, right.
Can I borrow your biscuit?
Can I?
Thank you. (laughing)
Now listen very carefully.
I am about to speak Hoob, ha.
His biscuit is (chomping) hmmm.
What would be the best word?
This biscuit is hoobilicious,
which means it
tastes really good.
Right you try that.
- This biscuit is hoobilicious.
- Well done, Tiddlypeeps.
Did you hear that, Iver, Tula.
I've told you it was a
good word. (laughing)
- Yes.
- Hoobilicious.
- Right, what would
the Tiddlypeeps say,
if they were really
enjoying a biscuit.
- Well we might say this
is an amazing biscuit.
Or this biscuit is delicious.
- Right.
- Or this is a tasty biscuit.
- All right.
- This is a scrumptious biscuit.
- Scrumptious.
- Amazing, delicious,
scrumptious, tasty.
Oh, I hope you got all
those Peep words, Iver.
- Tula?
- Yes, yes.
- Yes we did.
- Or you could say, wonderful.
- Or gorgeous.
- Hooby galooby.
So many peep words for
just one little biscuit.
I better be off
now, Tiddlypeeps,
but before I go, remind me.
What's the peep word
for Hooble Toodle doo?
- Goodbye!
- Goodbye, that's
it, of course it is.
Goodbye then, Tiddlypeeps.
- Goodbye, Groove.
(laughing)
- Oh no, Iver.
It's Fatabitroobilygroovy.
- Is it?
- Mmm.
- I thought there was
another belly there.
- Hooby galooby
Did you hear all those
hooby groovy peep words?
- Oh, I'm gonna see how
many I can remember.
- Oh, gorgeful,
that was one, yeah.
I think.
- I thought you were
meant to be finding out
how to remember our special
word for Hubba Hubba.
- Oh yeah, sure, right, Iver,
but along the way, we've
learned a whole load
of new peep words, heh.

- Okay, Groove, let's
see if you can remember
our special Hooby word.
- Ready? (clears throat)
Fantabitroobilygrootastyscrumti.
- No, Groove.
Those are peep words.
(groans)
- Oh why can't we
remember the whole thing?
- [Computer] Roma,
Roma, Roma, Roma.
- That's Roma, maybe
she'll have some ideas.
- Hooble doob, Hoobs.
- Hooble doob, Roma.
- (sighs) I'm afraid I'm
feeling a little homesick today.
- Oh, poor Roma.
- Thank you, Tula.
But don't worry.
I've come along here
to cheer myself up.
- Where are you, Roma?
- Well, Iver, I'm in a
place that peeps call
and observatory.
- An observatory?
Hm, how's that
gonna cheer you up?
- Because, Groove, I'm
gonna have a little look at
Hoobland!
- Ooh, a look at Hoobland?
But it's thousand of miles away.
How are you going
to see it, Roma?
- Well, Tula, I'd heard
that they had an enormous
hooby-see-more here
that peeps look through
to see the stars and planets.
- Hooby galooby.
- Hooby galooby, indeed, Iver.
But then nobody seemed to
know what I was talking about.
They said they'd never
heard of a hooby-see-more.
All they had was this
thing called a telescope.
- What?
- A telescope.
The peeps said the word
to me very, very slowly.
That's how I learned it.
Tel-e-scope.
- Tel-e-scope.
- That's it!
And guess what, Hoobs.
This telescope is
a hooby-see-more.
A huge one.
It's just the peeps call
it something different.
- Oh.
- In a moment I'll be
taking a little peep
through this telescope
and seeing our home!
Then I won't feel
homesick any more.
- Say hooble doob from us, Roma.
- I will, Groove.
This is Roma Hoob on
the Earth, about to look
through a telescope
and see Hoobland.
Hoob, hoob hooray!
Hooble toodle doo!
- Hooble toodle doo!
- Aw, I'd love to see Hoobland
through a giant Hooble-see-more.
I mean, tel-e-scope.
- Tel-a-scope.
Telescope.
Yeah, Roma's right, you know.
Saying words slowly really
helps you learn them
- Mm, that's been our
problem all along, you know.
Hubba Hubba talks too fast.
- Yeah. (chuckles)
- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- So Hoobs, how
are you getting on?
- Um, Fine thanks.
Hubba Hubba, I wonder if
you could say that long
Hooby word really slowly for us.
- Yeah, of course,
I'd be glad to.
Okay, ready?
- Yep.
-
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.
(Laughing)
- Belly, belly,
belly. (laughing)
- Got it.
- Oh good.
Now then, I was thinking.
Why don't you go and talk
to some more Tiddlypeeps
about learning new words.
They're learning new ones
all the time, you know.
- Wonderful.
- Gorgeous idea.
They might even
teach us some more.
- Yeah.
- Absohoobylutely.
- I'll go.
- And I'll drive again.

- Hooble doob, Tiddlypeeps.
- Hooble doob, Groove.
- Hey, that's a really amazing
biscuit you've got there.
I'd almost say it
was scrumptious.
- Hey Groove,
you're speaking peep
language really well.
- I know.
I have learned lots of
other peep words too.
Like, gorgeous, and
delicious, and wait for it...
Telescope.
(laughing)
- That's great,
well done, Groove.
- Aw, thanks, it
was nothing, heh.
- Actually, what we speak
is only one peep language.
- Only one?
You mean, there's another one?
- There are hundreds, Groove.
- In all of the different
parts of the world
there are different languages.
- Hooby galooby.
Did you hear that, Iver, Tula?
There's hundreds
of different languages.
- Languages.
- Hundreds.
- How am I
gonna learn them all.
- You don't need to learn
all of them, Groove.
You can just start off by
saying "Hello", listen.
- Bon jour.
That's how they say
hello in France.
- All right, bon jour.
- Ciao.
That's how they say it in Italy.
- Okay, ciao, ha.
- Ola.
That's how they
say hello in Spain.
- Ola, heh.
I hope you're getting
all this, Tula.
- Ola.
- Konnichiwa.
That's hello in Japan.
- Konnichiwa.
Wow, I never knew
there were so many ways
to say Hooble doob.
Aw, thanks to thee, peeps.
Well, I better be getting
back to the hoobmobile now.
I've got a very
big word to learn.
This has really helped
me, so, hooble toodle doo.
- Hooble toodle doo!
-
Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.
Hooray! (laughing)
- Ola!
Bon jour.
Ciao. (laughing)
I repeated those words
over and over and over
to myself on the way back
from the tiddlypeeps.
Now I know them!
- Well that's really
wonderful, Groove.
But it's nearly
time for Hoob News
and you still haven't
learned this hoob word.
- Okay, let's go
for it right now.

- [Computer] Hubba
Hubba, Hubba Hubba.
- Well Hoobs.
Are you ready to give
me your Hoob News
for my great Hoobapedia.
- We're ready Hubba Hubba.
- Then take it away.
- Hooble doob woop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News.
The news show for
Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question.
- How do you learn new words.
- It all started when
we wanted to find a word
that was more
hooble dooble dooper
than hooble dooble dooper.
- [Iver] Hubba Hubba
told us the longest word
in the Hoob dictionary.
- But we found that
really hard to learn.
- So, we thought that if we
found out how tiddlypeeps
learned word, that
would help us.
- [Iver] We learned that
squiggly Tiddlypeeps
started speaking by
making funny sounds.
Then the story told us that
they start to make words
instead of sounds when
their peep moms and dads
say the words over
and over again.
- [Tula] So we got Hubba
Hubba to say the long word
over and over again.
But we still couldn't get it.
- [Iver] Hubba Hubba
said that it wasn't easy
learning new words, but
the Tiddlypeeps might
teach us a few.
- [Groove] So I went
to see the Tiddlypeeps.
I taught them some Hoob
words and they taught me
lots of hooby groovy
peep words, heh.
Like tasty, gorgeous,
amazing, scrumptious.
- [Tula] But we still couldn't
say the long hoob word.
- [Iver] Then Roma told
us about a new peep word.
Telescope, Hmhm.
She'd learned it by saying
it over and over again
very, very slowly.
- So we tested that idea
out by asking Hubba Hubba
to say our word very, very
slowly and Iver wrote it down.
- [Groove] While Iver
and Tula said the word
over and over again, I decided
to visit the Tiddlypeeps.
That's when I discovered
that there are actually
hundreds of peep languages.
I said some words over and
over again to learn them
because that's how
you learn new words.
- Well done, Hoobs.
What an amazing report.
So, it's thanks, once aga--
- But it's not over yet.
There's one word we just want
to say to you, Hubba Hubba.
We think that you are...
- Fantabitroobily-
- Groobilyhoobily-
- Groovydoobleacious.
- So that's why you
needed to learn the word.
You cheeky Hoobs.
And I think you're
groovalisticalhoobledoobgrobily.
(laughing)
- Only one belly in
that one. (laughing)
