four of my favorite Hoobs
down to Earth to find
out all about you
for my great Hoobapedia.
Here they come!

- [Tula] (gasps)
That's you, Groove!
Standing by the hooby highup
in Auntie Hatty Hoob's garden.
- [Grove] That's just a
picture of my paw, Tula.
That's paw picture.
- (clears throat)
Have either of you two
thought of a question
for Hoob News?
(sighs)
(machine buzzes)
- Oh, and there's
Auntie Hatty Hoob
swinging from her
hooby hangar (laughs)
But my camera slipped a bit and
I only got her legs.
- [Groove] Nice legs though.
I'd know those legs anywhere.
- I don't want to
rush you or anything.
(machine buzzes)
- Ah, now this one's better.
- [Groove] Yes, me
in our hooblebobber
wearing my splatchmack. (laughs)
Hooby Galooby.
What I wouldn't give
for a good hooblebob.
- (sighs) It's the most
hooble dooble duper thing
in the whole of Hoobland.
- It is, but we
must have a question
for Hoob News!
- I don't want a question,
I want a hooblebob.
- But we don't have
a hooblebobber.
- (sighs) Now let me think.
- Groove, please.
- What floats around on the
water like a hooblebobber?
(hooblephone rings)
(electronic zapping)
- What floats
around on the water
like a hooblebobber?
What a hoobacious question.
I can put the answer
straight into my hoobapedia.
It's just the thing
Hoobs need to know!
- It's just the thing this
Hoob needs to know (laughs)
Hey, we're going hooblebobbing!
- Steady, Groove.
First we need to find out
about things that float.
- [Hubba Hubba]
Quite right, Iver.
(Iver laughs)
I'll let Roma know
that you're looking
for something like
a hooblebobber.
But first of all,
let me see if I can find you
some floating things on Hooblet.
(machine beeping)
Hm, let me see.
Ah! Here are some floaters.
(electronic zapping)
There's a duck. They're
always floating.
Oh, there's some otters.
Floating and eating (laughs)
There's a Tiddlypeep
toy duck floating.
And that's a big
crocodile floating.
There's some birds
floating and washing. Ha!
Oh, and there's a seal floating.
Hoobledoop!
And there's some ducks
floating off into the sunset.
(electronic zapping)
- Well that's a start.
All those things were floating!
- Yes, but they weren't
bright and colorful
and squidgy like a hooblebobber.
- Hm. And they were
floating by themselves.
And getting very wet.
- Yes, hm. That's not a
bit like hooblebobbing.
(hooblephone rings)
- That wasn't much help, was it?
I tell you what.
Why don't you ask
the Tiddlypeeps
if they know what
floats on the water
like a hooblebobber.
- Hooby groovy
idea, Hubba Hubba.
- My turn, my turn!
- Okay, Tula. You
go, I'll drive.
- Let's wake up
those Motorettes!
(laughs)
- Lets get this
hoobabile moving!
- And I think I'm
just gonna stay here
and print out a picture
of me on the hooblebobber.
- Seatbelts?
- Seatbelts!
- [Tula and Iver] We're

- Hello Tiddlypeeps!
- [Children] Hello Tula!
- Do you want to
do a Hooby hello?
- [Children] Yes!
- [Children and
Tula] Hoobledoop!
Hoobledoop! Woo, woo, woo!
- I'm trying to find
things that float.
Do you know anything
that can float?
- Yes, I can!
- Really? What's your name?
- Max.
- And you can really float, Max?
- Yes, it's easy
when you know how to.
- I can float too.
- [Tula] What's your name?
- Emily.
- [Tula] Hoobly groobly, Emily.
You can float as well?
- Yes.
- Iver! Groove!
Did you hear that?
These Tiddlypeeps
can float! Wow!
Now all you have to do
is tell me how you do that.
- Float.
- Well you learn to
float with one of these.
- Oh! That looks hoobly groobly.
How does it work?
- Well it's dead easy.
You either put it
under your tummy
so you can float in the water
or you hold it out
in front of you.
- Hoobly groobly.
- And then you learn to
float all by yourself.
- You can? I say,
could I borrow
one of your floats
so I can practice with it?
- Yeah, no problem.
- Oh, under your tummy, you say?
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm. And lean forward.
(giggles)
I'm not sure I've
got the hang of this.
- No problem. We'll show you.
Watch this!
(upbeat pop music)
(water splashes)
(Iver and Groove laugh)
(water splashes)
(giggles)
(gasps)
- I can't wait to try these out!
Don't think I like
the water though.
Thank you so much, Tiddlypeeps!
Must get back to the hoobmobile.
Hooble toodle doo!
- [Children] Hooble toodle doo!
(happy piano music)
- Oh the Tiddlypeep
of way of floating
is almost as wet
as the duck kind.
- Oh yes, but they are clever
to be able to float
with those floaty things.
- Who wants a go?
- (clears throat) Um, uh.
You know, I think you need
water to test this out.
- Oh, and that
means getting wet.
But this is nothing
like a hooblebobber.
This is too bad.
- No, Groove, Groove.
There's still time.
I'm sure we'll find something
like a hooblebobber.
- Of course we will. I know!
I'll make some
hooblebobbing splashmacks
to keep us dry when
we go hooblebobbing.
What color would
you like, Groove?
- Blue. Please.
- Tula, we haven't got
time for splashmacks.
We've got to answer
the question.
- I'll make them all
blue so we match,
I'll just go get my
mack-making material.
- No! We-- (sighs)
Peeps must have something
like hooblebobbing.
- Yes, but what?
(piano music)
♪ What? ♪
♪ What, what, what? ♪
♪ What? ♪
♪ What, what, what? ♪
(Tula humming)
(hoobaphone rings)
- Oh, it's Roma.
Maybe she'll have
found something floaty
(electronic zapping)
- Hoobledoop Hoobs!
Today I'm reporting from a beach
where some Peeps
are about to surf.
Surfing is a crazy thing
that Peeps just love to do.
- What's surfing, Roma?
- Well the Peeps have these
big, long, floaty things
called surfboards,
painted in all sorts
of bright colors.
Then they ride out to sea.
And once they're way out,
the surfers wait for a big wave
and ride back to the beach.
- Hooby groovy.
- And if you think
that's strange,
wait until you hear this.
Every time they go surfing,
the surfer Peeps get
absolutely soaking wet.
- They get wet?
- Oh yes, they just
love getting wet.
This is Roma Hoob,
off to teach surfer
Peeps how to hooblebobb.
Now, where's my splashmack?
(electronic zapping)
- Oh!
Did you see those surfer Peeps?
Imagine being a surfer Hoob.
- No.
- I know! I'll
invent Hoob Surfing!
And it will be better
than hooblebobbing!
Ha! Woohoo! (glass crashes)
- That's nothing like
a hooblebobber at all.
- Oh, Groove. Come on, cheer up.
Look, I've nearly finished
your hooblebobbing splashmack.
- Yeah.
- Come on, let's
try it for size.
- Please hurry up!
We're running out of time.
- Oh there must be a
hooblebobber somewhere.
But where?
♪ Where, where, where, where? ♪
♪ Where? ♪
- There.
- Oh Tula! It's hooble
dooble duper! (laughs)
(hooblephone rings)
(electronic zapping)
- Hoobledoop Hoops!
- Do you like my
splashmack, Hubba Hubba?
- [Hubba Hubba] Oh yes, Groove.
Blue's my favorite
color for a splashmack.
- (laughs) Mine too.
- Groove. We haven't got time
for you to talk about
your splashmack.
- Okay.
- We found some floaty
things Hubba Hubba.
But they're not
soft and squidgy.
- And you can't get in them
like you can a hooblebobber.
- [Hubba Hubba] Not to worry.
I found a wonderful story
sent in by a Tiddlypeep.
It's all floaty.
Take a look.
(electronic zapping)
- [Narrator] Once upon a time
there was a tiny,
furry caterpillar.
His name was Bertie.
He lived in a
little cabbage patch
next to a river.
Every morning,
he would climb up
onto a cabbage leaf
and munch away all day long.
But poor Bertie was lonely.
All his friends lived in
the big cabbage patch,
on the other side of the river.
The cabbages were much juicier
and much fatter.
And all the caterpillars
were much fatter too.
One day, Bertie looked
across the river,
and saw them all munching away
merrily as usual.
He sighed.
- Aww they're having such fun.
- Hey Bertie!
- Come on, munch with us!
- Come on!
- Come on Bertie!
- Bertie! Bertie!
- Come on!
- [Narrator] They called.
The river was much too
wide for him to cross.
How would he ever get
to the other side?
A big, fat tear
trickled down his face
and fell into the water.
(water splashes)
Suddenly!
(frog croaks)
He heard a noise.
(frog croaks)
He looked down and saw a frog
jumping from one
lily pad to another.
(frog croaks)
At once, Bertie had an idea.
- If a frog can
float on a lily pad
then so can I.
- [Narrator] Bertie
inched his way
onto a lily pad.
Then using a twig for an oar,
he paddled across the river.
- [Bertie's Friend]
Come on Bertie!
- You can do it!
(friends cheering)
- [Narrator] At last he
reached the other side.
Soon he was munching on
the juiciest cabbage leaf
he'd ever seen.
And from that day on,
Bertie was never short
of friends to play with.
(electronic zapping)
- Well, Bertie's
lily pad was pretty
like a hooblebobber.
- I wonder if a lily pad
would work for a Hoob.
- Let's test one and see.
- Mm-hmm. Test one. Right.
How?
♪ How, how, how? ♪
- Here's how.
Have you found
anything yet, Groove?
- Yeah, a heeble leaf.
(laughs)
- Oh, herbacious, right!
- Yeah.
- See if it floats.
- All right.
- [Groove] Yeah! (laughs)
- [Tula] It floats! It floats!
Oh, can I hooblebob
first? Can I?
- Not yet, Tula.
The heeble leaf floats,
but will it float with
a Hoob on top of it?
- Oh man, if it doesn't
then wet, wet, wet.
- We need to find something
the same weight as Tula
to put on the heeble leaf.
- So, how heavy is Tula?
Hm. Hm.
Excuse me. (groans)
(gasps)
- Oh!
(pants and laughs)
- All right then.
What about this?
Nah, it's not heavy enough.
- Let me try.
(giggles)
- Woo that was fun.
- Ah, what about this
hooble cactus spiker?
(groans)
(glass crashes)
No, that's too heavy.
- (sighs) Let's try a... oh!
A hooby boulder.
(groans) Yeah this is about
the same weight as Tula.
- Okay put the hooby boulder
Oh!
on the heeble leaf.
Oh!
And if it floats
then it's safe for
Tula to hooblebob on.
- Right
(water splashes)
- [Iver, Tula,
And Groove] Oh no!
- (sighs) This is too bad.
- Well, okay.
So a heeble leaf doesn't
float on the water
like a hooblebobber
with a Hoob on it.
- And it isn't soft and
squidgy and flowery.
- In fact, it isn't like
a hooblebobber at all.
(hooblephone rings)
- It's Hubba Hubba!
- I'll get it. (gasps)
- Oh hoobledoop, Iver.
- Hoobledoop, Hubba Hubba.
- Now I've been on Hoobnet
looking for soft and
squidgy, flowery things
and guess what?
I found one!
(laughs)
- I've no idea what
Peeps use it for,
but you might just be able
to hooblebob with it.
Shall I send it to you?
- Oh, yes please, Hubba Hubba.
(electronic zapping)
- It's on its way!
(pants and laughs)
- Hubba Hubba is sending us
a soft and squidgy,
flowery thing.
- Oh, that's hooby
groovy. (laughs)
We'll be hooblebobbing
in no time.

for a trip to the Tiddlypeeps.

like a hooblebobber (chuckles)
than no one can.

You put it on like this
and then you can float
around in the water.

- That is so hoobly groobly.
I'm looking for floaty things.
Oh! What are these?
- Arm bands.
- They're lovely and soft
and squidgy, aren't they?
Do they help you float as well?
- Yes.
- Well, let me
tell you something.
We are looking for something
like a hooblebobber.
Do you know what
a hooblebobber is?
- No.
- Well it's a lovely, bright,
colorful, soft floating thing
that Hoobs like to use to
float around on the water.
Do you Tiddlypeeps have
anything like that?
- I think so.
- You do?
- What about this?
- (gasps) Oh! How
hoobly groobly is that?
Does it float?
- Of course it does!
- Are you getting this, Iver?
- Yes.
- It's soft, and it's squidgy,
and it's bright,
and you can get into it
just like a hooblebobber!
(Iver and Groove laugh)
What's it called?
- A play boat.
- A play boat!
Iver, can you ask Hubba Hubba
to order a play
boat from Hooblet?
- [Groove] Hey hey!
- Thank you very
much, Tiddlypeeps.
I must get back now.
Happy floating
and hooble toodle doo!
- [Children] Hooble toodle doo!
- It works Tula!
We found it!
Something that
floats on the water
just like a hooblebobber.
- Can I try it now? (panting)
- You can try it just as soon
as we've done Hoob News.

Ready to tell me what
floats like a hooblebobber
for my Hoobapedia?
- We're ready!
(drums and upbeat pop music)
- Hoobledoop woop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News,
the new show for
Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today we've been
asking the question,
"What floats around on the water
like a hooblebobber?"
- [Tula] Well first of all,
we needed to find
out what floated.
- [Iver] We found out
that all sorts of birds
and animals can float.
But they're actually
in the water!
- [Tula] Getting wet!
- [Groove] That's
not hooblebobbing.
- [Tula] And some Tiddlypeeps
can float as well,
using floaty things.
- [Groove] But that's
not hooblebobbing.
- [Iver] Then Roma
told us that some Peeps
like to ride the
water on surfboards.
- [Tula] And they
always get wet.
- [Groove] That's
not hooblebobbing.
- [Iver] Then we had a story
about a caterpillar
who could float
on a lily pad.
So we tried that out
with a heeble leaf.
- [Tula] But a Hoob
would be too heavy
to float on a heeble leaf.
- [Iver] So we went
back to the Tiddlypeeps
one more time and discovered...
- [Tula, Iver, and
Groove] A play boat!
- (laughs) It's
soft and squidgy.
- And it floats,
and a Hoob can sit in it.
- It's so like a hooblebobber.
- [Tula, Iver, and
Groove] Hoob hoob hooray!
- And it's thanks once again
to Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma
for giving Hoobs everywhere
a little peep into
the world of Peeps.
And remember wherever you are,
have a hooble dooble duper day.
And hooble toodle doo!
- [Tula, Iver, and
Groove] Hooble toodle doo!
- Right, who's ready
for a hooblebob?
- (gasps) Me first!
- No, me first
- [Groove] No, me first.
