- Um...
Tula?
- Mmhm?
- Have you seen the small Peep
planet I got from Hoobnet?
- What does it look like.
- Well, it's in a big square
yellow box with green spots on.
I wanted to put my Peep
planet in the Hooby Studio
seeing as we're on
the Peep planet.
- Ah!
That's a hoobly
groobly idea, Iver.
Sorry, haven't seen it.
- Oh.
Oh, there's a box!
- (gasps) There's
my hooby bits box!
- Oh.
- Oh!
Just what I was looking for.
Oh, I love my hooby bits box.
It's got all my best
and favorite things
for making things.
Oh!
Ooh!
Oh, sorry it wasn't your
Peep planet box, Iver.
- Oh.
- I know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to make some
jewelry to wear for Hoob News.
- Hoob News?
I nearly forgot.
We'd better hurry up and
think of a question, Tula,
after I've found that
yellow box with green spots.
- Hooble doop, Tula.
Hooble doop, Iver.
- [Iver And Tula]
Hooble doop, Groove.
- [All] And a
whoop, whoop, whoop!
- Groove, have you seen my
small Peep planet box anywhere?
It's yellow with green spots.
- Sorry, Iver.
I haven't, but that's probably
because I've been too busy
inventing one of the
most important things
since the Hooby Wheel.
- Oh, what is it?
- The Bouncing Hooby
Bouncer with extra bounce.
- Wow.
Can we see it in action?
- Of course you can.
But because of its extreme
bounciness, you'll have
to duck down when I bounce it.
- But Groove, I really
think we should be thinking
about a question for Hoob News.
- Oh, this won't
take a second, Iver.
And it's be an experience
you'll never forget.
Hooby drum roll, please.
- What? Oh.
- Of course.
- Exciting, isn't it?
(space computer noise)
Oh, and remember, once
it hits the floor,
it could go anywhere.
(both gasp)
So, prepare for bounce off.
Three.
Two.
One.
Oh, see it go!
(Groove nervously laughs)
Where is it?
- Oh, sort of where it landed.
- Oh!
- I always thought the
most important thing
about bouncy things
was that they bounced.
- Oh, it was supposed to.
I made it out of old Hooby
tires, and that's rubber.
And rubber's the
bounciest stuff there is.
But it didn't bounce.

That's a great question

All the information can go
straight into my Hoobapedia
so that Hoobs everywhere can
find out what the best shape
for bouncing is.
- Well, we know one shape
that it isn't. (chuckles)
- Well, then, that's
one crossed off already.
I'll see what I can find
on Hoobnet to help you
on your way.
Let me see.
(digital static)
Mmhm, shapes.
Shapes for bouncing.
Ah, right then.
Here are a few shapes
to get you started.
(digital static)
Now that's a square with
four straight sides.
That's a triangle
shape with three sides.
And that's a diamond shape.
Oh, and that's a
Tiddlypeep shape.
(digital static)
- Now, I've made a chart with
all those shapes we just saw.
There's a square,
a triangle,
a diamond,
and a Tiddlypeep.
- Oh, how could I
have got it so wrong?
- It's easily done, Groove.
There are lots of
shapes to choose from.
- Now take a look at my
chart and tell me which one
you think it might be.
- Hmm, I think I'll go
for the flaty sided one.
- The square.
- Yeah, yeah, those big flat
sides could be very bouncy,
I think.
- Well, let's find out.

Hey, I found a square!
A great big yellow square
box with green spots.
Let's see if it bounces.
- No, no, oh, oh!
Stop, stop!
That is my Peep planet's box.
- All right.
Oh, yeah, look.
It's got a Peep
planet inside it.
- Oh, oh!
Just what I was looking for.
It would have broken if you'd
have tried to bounce the box.
- Groove, why didn't
you make a square
out of your Bouncing
Hooby Bouncer?
- Tula, you're a genius!
After all, Groove's Bouncing
Hooby Bouncer is made
of the right stuff for bouncing.
It's just a question of
finding the right shape.
- That's a hooby groovy idea.
Just need to get
the bouncy stuff.
Just gotta give it
a bit of a (grunts),
and a bit of a (grunts),
and a bit of a (grunts).
- Oh!
(Groove grunts)
Oh!

Okay, prepare for bounce off.
- Oh, Tula, Tula, Tula.
- Are you ready?
- [Iver] Yes, yes, yes.
- Three.
- [Iver] Yes.
- Two.
- [Iver] Oh!
- One.
- [Iver] Get down, get down!
- See it go!
See it fly!
See it bounce!
It's still on the floor.
- Afraid so, Groove.
- So, not the square, then.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
hubba, hubba, hubba.
(digital static)
- How ya doing, Hoobs?
Found the best shape
for bouncing yet?
- Well, we know it isn't
the square, Hubba Hubba.
- Well, that's a
good start, Iver.
And I found a story
with lots of bounce.
Take a look at this.
(digital static)
- [Narrator] There once
was triangle called Trevor.
He belonged to a little boy.
The boy loved
everything about Trevor.
He loved his pointy corners
and he loved his
lovely, straight edges.
But although Trevor loved the
little boy, he wasn't happy.
He was tired of sitting
around on a shelf being still.
He wanted to be bouncy!
One day, a magician
came to town.
"I want to be
pretty", said a woman.
And ZAP the magician
made her pretty.
"I want to be tall," said a man.
And ZAP the magician
made him tall.
"I want to have a cabbage on
my head," said an old lady.
And ZAP it was done.
Trevor saw the magician
passing by outside his window
and called out, "I
want to be bouncy"
and the magician zapped him.
"Wee!
"I'm going to bounce
now," cried Trevor.
As the boy walked in through
the door, he saw Trevor trying
to bounce.
But suddenly, one of his
pointy corners jabbed the cat.
(cat snarls)
Then another of his
pointy corners jabbed
the little boy's leg.
"Ow!"
Then his arm!
"Ow!"
"Trevor, you're too
jabby to be bouncy,"
said the little boy.
"Jabby things do not
make good bouncers."
Trevor agreed.
Triangles are good at many
things, but bouncing isn't one
of them.
So, Trevor stopped
trying to bounce.
"That's better," said the boy.
And Trevor smiled.
From then on, he was happy to
just be a very still triangle
who was loved by a little boy.
(digital static)
- Aw, I love a good
triangle story.
- Well it was very useful.
We now know that the
triangle is not a good shape
for bouncing.
- Wait, Iver.
Maybe the triangle in the
story just wasn't made
of the bouncy stuff.
- Yes, you're right!
I'm going to make a triangle
out of my Hooby Bouncer
which is made of bouncy stuff.
I'll just give a little
bit of a (grunts)
and a little bit of a (grunts)
and a little bit of a (grunts).
There we are, and look at that.
Are you ready?
- Oh, just a minute.
Oh, not yet.
Right.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Good.
Three.
Two.
One.
(grunts)
See it go!
See it bounce!
See it fly!
(nervous laughter)
(sighs) It's still on the floor.
- Sorry, Groove, but even
if you make a triangle out
of really bouncy rubber, it's
still too jabby to bounce.
- Oh, dear.
- Actually, that's exactly
why I don't use triangles
to make jewelry.
Far too jabby.
But this is the perfect
shape for jewelry.
A hooby blob.
And I've got lots of them.
- So, what other shapes
have we got, Iver?
- Hm?
Oh, oh, well, there is
the Tiddlypeep shape.
Do you think Tiddlypeeps
could be bouncy?
- Well, they might be.
But how can we find out?
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
hubba, hubba, hubba.
(digital static)
- Well, why don't you go and
see if you can bounce some?
- Good idea, Hubba Hubba.
- Oh, thank you, Iver.
Good luck.
- I'll go and see
the Tiddlypeeps.
I'd love to bounce a Tiddlypeep.
Come on!
- Oh, I'll drive you there.
- Well, I suppose I better
try to make a Tiddlypeep shape
out of you, just in case
we have to do another test.
(grunts)
- Seatbelt.
- Mmhm.
- [Both] We're off to
see the Tiddlypeeps!

- [All] Hooble doop, hooble
doop, whoop, whoop, whoop!
- I need to ask you a question.
Can you bounce?
- [All Children] Yes.
- [Boy] Of course we can.
- Well, I can't
wait to see this.
Come on!
(lively music)
Um, I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
That's really hoobacious, but
I think that's called jumping.
- Mmhm.
- Okay, we'll try
something else.
What happens if you jump
and then land on the ground
on your bottoms?
(Groove gasps)
Can you give that a try for me?
Okay, off you go!
Not one bouncy Tiddlypeep.
Actually, maybe if you were
made out of really bouncy stuff,
then you'd be bouncy.
Yes.
Thank you for your help.
I must get back now.
Hooble toodle doo!
- [All Children]
Hooble toodle doo!
(Iver laughs)
- (grunts) So, what
do you think, Tula.
- Ah, hoobly groobly.
- Well, those Tiddlypeeps didn't
bounce, but I've a feeling
that if they were made of
the right stuff for bouncing,
then they might just
be the right shape.
Groove, can you turn your
Hooby Bouncer into the shape
of a Tiddly--
Peep.
You already have.
- Yeah, get ready
for some bouncing.
Here we go.
Three.
- [Iver] Yes.
- Two.
- [Iver] Huh.
- One. (grunts)
See it go!
See it bounce!
See it lie on the floor.
- No, even if you
make a Tiddlypeep
shape in bouncy stuff,
it's still not the right
shape for bouncing.
Hooby bother.
- And if Tiddlypeep shape
isn't the right shape,
then I don't suppose Hoob shape
is the right shape either.
- (sighs) Well, I'd love to be
the right shape for bouncing.
Imagine if we were
made of bouncy stuff.

Hooble doop, Hoobs.

(Tula gasps)
Now, I can tell you that
all around me are diamonds.
Diamonds everywhere.
And of course there are
diamonds all over me, too.
That's because I borrowed
a few to show you.
Diamondy necklace.
Bracelet.
Earrings.
Even a crown.
It seems you can make
almost any kind of jewelry
out of diamonds.
And the reason they
look so good is
that they are the most
perfect shape for sparkling.
- Hey!
(Tula gasps)
- Oh.
- You see, a diamond
has more sides
than a dodecahoobiehedron.
And all of those sides
reflect the light,
which is why they twinkle
and sparkle
and glitter.
Oh!
Which is why the Peeps love
them so much, and so do I.
- But Roma, do they bounce?
- Oh, I'll just try one out.
(alarm rings)
Oh, no!
Uh, sorry, Hoobs.
I think the shop would like me
to take these diamonds back.
I wouldn't want them to think
that I was going to run off
with them.
(laughs)
Although, maybe they'd
let me keep just one.
Must be off now.
Oh, hooble toodle doo!
(digital static)
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!

interesting, but we still need
to find out if a diamond is
a good shape for bouncing.

See it lie on the floor again.
- Not the right shape for
bouncing, then. (sighs)
- But a good shape for jewelry.
Not as good as my
hooby blobs, though.
- We've run out of
shapes on the chart.
We still haven't
answered the question.
- Oh, I can't believe the right
shape isn't just staring us
in the face.
- [Echoing Voice] Hubba,
hubba, hubba, hubba.
(digital static)
- Hooble doop, Hoobs!
So, how are we doing?
- Oh, fine!
Really well.
- Oh, so you found out the
right shape for bouncing.
- Well, not exactly, no.
We know a lot of shapes
that are the wrong shape
for bouncing.
- Ah, well, it's always
good to find what's not
the right thing.
It means that you're getting
very close to the thing
that is the right thing.
- Yes, but have you got
any ideas, Hubba Hubba?
- Well, I know those
Tiddlypeeps weren't bouncy,
but they were talky.
So, why don't you pay
them one more visit?
That might just solve
your bouncy problem.

- Those are the bounciest
things I've ever seen.
Do they bounce on their own
or do they have to have you
on the top of them?
- They can bounce all
by themselves, Iver.
- And is it because they're
the right shape for bouncing?
- Yes, and they're
made of bouncy stuff.
- Are you getting this, Groove?
They are made out
of bouncy stuff
and they are the right

thing that's the right shape
for bouncing.
Charlotte!
- Oh, of course.
This will bounce without
a Tiddlypeep on it.

Can you see this, Groove?
- [Groove] Hooby groovy.
- Who'd have thought that
round is the best shape

Oh!
Thank you so much, Tiddlypeeps.
Hooble toodle doo!

Who would've thought the

Welcome to Hoob News, the news

I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today, we've been
asking the question--
- What is the best
shape for bouncing?
- [Tula] First, Groove made
his own Hooby Bouncer out
of old hooby tires.
But it just didn't bounce.
So, we thought it must be
the wrong shape for bouncing.
So, next, we tried a square,
but the sides were too flat.
- [Groove] Then we had a story
about a triangle who wanted
to be bouncy, but found
out that he was too jabby.
- [Tula] Then we found out that
Tiddlypeeps weren't bouncy,
even if they were made
out of bouncy rubber.
Roma showed us some diamonds.
- [Iver] And we tested a
diamond shape with Groove's
Hooby Bouncer.
- [Groove] But it
wasn't bouncy at all.
We were about to give up.
- [Iver] But the
Tiddlypeeps showed me
the real big bouncy things
and the other little
bouncy things and now we
know that the best shape
for bouncing is--
- [All] Round!
- And it's thanks, once
again, to Iver, Tula, Groove,
and Roma for giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of Peeps.
So, remember, have a lovely
day and hooble toodle doo!
- [All] Hooble toodle doo!
