Yo Gabba Gabba gets in your head. When you think of Yo Gabba Gabba you think of something that is going to be really educational. Yo Gabba Gabba is very good for toddlers and babies. Nickelodeon has geared the show towards kids over the age of 1. Anyone can learn from it though, even someone my age (which is twelve). Yo Gabba Gabba is a fun show to watch. It has a lot of colors, monsters, and is flashy.
In the episode I reviewed, which was called “Eat” you learned what to eat from the monsters and the human who interacts with them who is known as DJ Lance. When DJ Lance says the magic words, “Yo Gabba Gabba”, the monsters come to life. The monsters are much smaller than DJ Lance though. They use magic to pass objects between their miniature world and the world of DJ Lance. The monsters are stored in a case that looks like a boom box when they are not alive.
You also learn how to clean up after you eat a snack, how to brush your teeth, and how to try new foods even if you think you might not like them. The show is filled with music. Music happens with each of the activities. For example, the monsters sing about how to brush you teeth. On screen, you also get to see examples of how it is done. So you have an audio and visual source for learning in different ways. If a kid is more visual they will like the picture examples. If a child is auditory they will learn from listening to the words of the music.
Yo Gabba Gabba has kids who are maybe two or three. They look about the same age as my little cousin who is three. They all love to dance and they show it as the boogie to the groove. There is also a special guest who teaches a dance. Elijah Wood was on this episode and he taught a dance called the Puppet Master. It was funny to see him dancing as he acted like a puppet.
At the end of the show, the monsters, kids who dance, and DJ Lance all review the lessons that were learned on the show. They do a quick replay of all the songs, so they stay in your head even after the show has ended. Then when it is time to say goodbye, the magic words, “Yo Gabba Gabba”, are said again and the monsters turn back into figures. DJ Lance packs them up in the boom box case and carries it off screen until next time.
Yo Gabba Gabba is a great show if you want your kids to learn. It won’t be overly annoying like Barney (though my mom says I liked it when I was a kid!), so parents will enjoy watching it with their children.
