The Lowdown
So, yeah. The Wiggles. If you’re a parent, chances are you’re very familiar with them. If not, here’s the scoop: They’re rich. Obscenely rich. They are a worldwide phenomenon of children’s entertainment that originated in Australia. They have their own TV show and touring act that travels the entire world to terrorize children and soak parents for money.

The focus this time? Animals. Australian animals. Does your kid want to learn about wombats? Well, here’s a quick 30 second intro with a live wombat followed by a 3 minute ‘catchy’ song about the little bastards. Wash/rinse/repeat with various other animals that can be found in Australia.
GOD HATES US ALL! GOD HATES US ALL!
Kylie Minogue shows up at the very beginning to sing a song with the rest of the Wiggles. Something’s wrong with your career when you have to show up on a Wiggles DVD to give your career a jolt, but there ya go. Oh, and she’s officially introduced as the PINK WIGGLE by the other guys. Sorry, that joke’s too easy.
All of the songs are performed against cheesy CGI backgrounds. I’ll have to admit, the songs are reasonably catchy enough to not drive a parent insane with rage. That’s probably important, as parents are going to be forced to listen to this DVD in the minivan over and over again while little Billy fills up his diaper in the back seat.
But shoot it in the right direction! Make making it your intention! (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Live those dreams, scheme those schemes! Got to hit me (hit me) hit me (hit me)
hit me with those laser beams!

One of the Wiggles really bothers me, though. Jeff, the ‘Purple Wiggle’, is one creepy looking dude. He has one of those putty faces that constantly morphs into something that Rick Baker would take inspiration from.
Satan, my master, I slit my wrist to drain me of my blood
Look, I’m not the target audience for this kind of DVD. I don’t have kids, and my wife and I don’t plan on having any kids. If you have kids, go nuts. I certainly didn’t detect anything subliminal in all of this.
