Tula is going to fall over
laugh wen she sees this.
- Hoobledoop, Iver.
- Hoobledoop, Tula. (coughs)
I've got something here,
that's going to make
you fall over laughing.
- You have?
- Yes.
What makes a Hoob laugh,
more than anything
else in Hoobland?
- Oh, no, it's not a
Hoobledangler, is it?
- Yes, it is a Hoobledangler.
(both laughing)
- Swingle, swangle,
Hoobledangle.
- [Tula] No, no, please
Iver, don't, don't.
- Swingle swangle.
- No. (chuckling)
- Hoobledangle
- No. (laughing)
- Swingle swangle.
Hoobledangle.
- Oh no, no please.
Don't do this to me Iver.
You mustn't.
Once I start laughing at the
Hoobledangler I never stop.
(Tula laughing)
- Swingle swangle, Hoobledangle.
Swingle swangle, Hoobledangle.
- (laughing) Hey,
Tula, it sounds like
you're being Hoobledangled at.
- Yes, it's Iver!
Oh, God, stop him! (laughing)
- Hmm, it's what? (laughing)
No, don't do Hoobledangle on me.
Am not gonna look up. (chuckles)
If I start laughing
I'll drop my plank.
- Oh, come one, Groove,
you know you love it.
- No.
- Swingle.
- No.
- Swangle.
- [Groove] No.
- Hoobledangle.
- No, no, no, no!
Stop it, stop it,
stop it! (laughs)
- No, please, Iver, stop.
No, come on.
Mustn't laugh.
I've got to be serious.
I have to concentrate very hard
to find the best
place to put my plank.
The laughing won't help.
Go away.
- No. no.
(Iver screaming)
(Groove yelling)
(Groove laughing)
- Oh dear.
Oh, Tula, I'm sorry,
we must stop now.
We have to think up a
question for Hoob News.
(both panting)
- Tiddlypeeps laugh don't they?
- Oh, Tiddlypeeps
laugh all the time.
Actually it's a well known fact.
Tiddlypeeps laugh about
times everyday.
- Hoobygalooby!
Do you think they would
laugh at a Hoobledangler?
- I don't know.
It might be just a Hoob thing.
Oh, anyway we need
to question now.
- I wonder makes
Tiddlypeeps and Hoobs laugh?
- Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing
- What makes Tiddlypeeps
and Hoobs laugh?
That's a really
interesting question, Tula.
Just the thing for
today's Hoob News.
- Do you think so Hubba Hubba?
- Oh, yes, Tula,
and I can put
everything you find out,
into my great Hoobopaedia.
You never know,
we might all learn
to laugh at the things
that Tiddlypeeps laugh at.
I'll tell Roma too
and see what she comes up with.
- Roma's always up for laugh.
- Right, where do we start?
- Let's start by seeing
what I can find on
Hoobnet about laughing.
(electronic swirling)
- (laughing) Here we are.
(electronic whooshing))
Oh, look, they're having a
good time, they're laughing.
(upbeat music)
Oh, so are they.
They're laughing at a fish.
I wonder why they are laughing?
(laughing) They are
laughing at his hat.
If she's laughing?
There's some more
Tiddlypeeps laughing.
Oh, look and he's laughing
at his hand in the water.
(laughing) she is
laughing at the rain.
Now someone just told
this Tiddlypeep something,
and he is laughing a lot.
(laughing) And so are they!
That's one, two, three
Tidddlypeeps laughing.
(electronic whooshing)
- Lots of things seems to make
Peeps and Tiddlypeeps laugh,
but they didn't make me laugh.
- Nor me.
Sometimes they just laughed,
when someone was talking.
What's all that about?
Hey Groove, are you
going to help us find out
what make Hoobs and
Tiddlypeeps laugh?
- When I find a place
to put my plank.
- We need your help now, Groove.
I know what can make
you drop the plank.
(gentle upbeat music)
Swing swangle, Hoobledangle!
- Oh, give it a
rest Iver, I'm busy.
- We've got Hoob News
to get ready Groove,
you might at least help.
- I will, I ill.
As soon as I've found
somewhere good to go.
- Hubba Hubba.
- How are you getting on, Hoobs?
- We need some
help, Hubba Hubba.
We don't understand why
Tiddlypeeps suddenly laugh
when one of them is talking.
- No, neither do I!
But I found a story from
a Tiddlypeep on Hoobnet,
which might give us a clue.
(electronic whooshing)
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] One
day, a party cr*cker,
a paper chain and a party
blower, were waiting in a box.
They were excited because
today, Lucy and Josh
were having a party.
- [Paper Chain] I love parties.
- [Narrator] Said
the paper chain.
- [Paper Chain] Because I get
to dangle from the ceiling
and look pretty.
Then the children play
with me and laugh.
- [Party Blower] I love parties.
- [Narrator] Said
the party blower.
- [Party Blower] Because I
get to make my horrid noise,
and that makes the
children laugh too.
- [Party cr*cker]
I love parties.
- [Narrator] Said
the party cr*cker.
- [Party cr*cker]
Because I get to go bang!
Which always makes
the children laugh.
- [Paper Chain] I know,
let's see which of us
can make the children
laugh, the loudest.
- Good idea!
- Good idea!
- [Narrator] They all cried.
At the party, Lucy
picked up the paper chain
and put it on her head.
The children all laughed.
Then Josh picked up
the party blower,
and run run blowing him.
The children laughed and
laughed at his horrid noise.
Then Lucy and Josh
picked up the party
cr*cker and pulled it.
- [Party cr*cker] Bang!
- [Narrator] It went.
And the children squealed.
The party blower turned to
the party cr*cker, and said.
- [Party Blower] Huh!
They don't laugh at you at all.
- [Narrator] But then
the children shouted.
- [Children] Where is the joke?
Where is the joke?
- [Narrator] Lucy
took a piece of paper
out of the party cr*cker and
read out the words on it.
The children laughed
and laughed and laughed.
- [Party cr*cker] I won!
- [Narrator] Shouted the
party cr*cker to his friends.
- [Party cr*cker] I made the
children laugh the loudest,
because I'm the only one
with a joke inside me.
(electronic whooshing)
- I get it.
Tiddlypeeps have these
things called jokes,
and jokes make them laugh.
- Yes.
Oh, and I just love
the crackers, Iver.
- Oh yes, yes.
- I know, let's ask Hubba
Hubba to send us one.
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing)
- Hoobledoop, Tula!
How was the story?
- It was Hoobelly
groobelly, Hubba Hubba.
Now we need to see if a
Tiddlypeep joke makes us laugh.
Please could you send
us a party cr*cker?
- Oh, a party cr*cker?
Yeah, I'm sure I can.
I'll order it from Hoobnet,
and it will be with you
in a blink of a Hoobyeye.
(electronic whooshing)
- Well the jokes certainly
makes the Tiddlypeeps laugh.
But the thing is, why?
♪ Why, why, why, why ♪
♪ Why, why ♪
♪ Why, why, why, why ♪
(Iver laughing)
- We'll soon find out.
(electronic swirling)
- Oh.
- Here it is.
(both laughing)
(gentle upbeat music)
- There.
Oh, no.
(Groove muttering)
Groove, are you going to help
us with our question or not?
- Look Iver,
I'm trying to find a place
for my plank, aren't I?
Have you ever tried to find
a place for your plank?
No.
You have to just, you
know, go with the flow.
(gentle playful music)
- I've got it!
I've got it!
(Iver laughs)
Oh, it's here!
Oh, isn't lovely?
I'd love to make one of these.
- We could have it on Hoob News.
- Great idea.
I'll do it.
Ooh, shall we pull it first?
- Oh, yes, yes, yes!
(Tula laughing)
- Ready?
- Oh, oh, oh!
Steady.
(Tula laughs)
- [Both] Pull.
(cr*cker boinging)
- Hey!
- Oh, sorry.
- (scoffs) You nearly
made me drop my plank.
Hm!
- Oh, here's a joke.
You ready for this?
- Yes.
- Right.
"Knock knock, who's there?"
"Bo bo who."
"There's no need cry,
it's only a joke."
(gentle music)
- That's it?
- Yes.
- Oh.
- (sighs) Didn't make
you laugh, did it?
- No.
- Nor me.
(both sighing)
- Hoobybother!
Obviously a joke doesn't make
Tiddlypeeps and Hoobs laugh.
We'll never get Hoob News ready
at this rate.
- Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing)
- Did you laugh at
the joke, Hoobs?
- No, Hubba Hubba.
Things just seem to be
getting more and more serious.
- Oh, well.
I think it would be a good idea,
to go and find some Tiddlypeeps.
They're sure to have something,
that will make Hoobs
laugh as much as they do.
- Absolutely!
Why didn't I think of that?
Bring the Hoobledangler, Tula.
I'll see if that makes the
Tiddlypeeps laugh. (laughing)
(upbeat music)
(Tula laughing)
- [Iver] Got it?
- [Tula] Yes!
- Seatbelt.
(seatbelt clicking)

see the Tiddlypeeps!

- [Children] It's Iver.
- Would you like to
do a Hooby hello?
- Yes.
- Do one for me, come on.
- [All] Hoobledoop, Hoobledoop!
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
- I am trying to find out
what makes Tiddlypeeps
and Hoobs laugh.
I want to show you something.
It's something that
makes Hoobs laugh.
It's called a
Hoobledangler. (laughing)
Swingle, swangle!
Hoobledangle!
- Oh, you're not laughing.
- No.
- It isn't funny.
- Oh, Hoobybother.
You do laugh at jokes
though, don't you?
- Yes.
- Would you like to hear some?
- Thank you, not really.
We've found out that Hoobs
don't laugh at jokes at all.
I know.
Why don't you show me
something you laugh at
that isn't the word joke.
Can you do that?
- [Children] Yes.
- Sit down, Iver.
- Oh! (coughs)
(whoopee cushion squelching)
Ah!
(children laughing)
What is this?
- A whoopee cushion.
- Hey Hoobs, did you see that?
The Tiddlypeeps really
laughed at this, didn't they?
May I borrow it for a bit?
Just to see if ut makes
Tula and Groove laugh.
- Of course.
Thank you so much.
I must be off now.
Hoobletoodledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletoodledoo!
(upbeat music)
- Did you laugh
when I sat on this?
- No, sorry.
- Oh.
Maybe we'll laugh if
you sit on it, Tula.
(Iver laughing)
Come on then.
Well, go on. (chuckles)
You never know, it
might be hilarious.
(gentle upbeat music)
(Tula sighs)
(whoopee cushion squelching)
- No.
- Oh.
- Definitely not funny.
(gentle upbeat music)
- What was that horrible
noise? (chuckles)
Nearly made me drop my plank.
- Did you laugh?
- Absolutely not.
You're getting on very
fast are you?
(whoopee cushion squelching)
- We're not getting
on very fast, Groove?
You spent all day looking for
somewhere to put your plank.
- Yeah and I'll be with you
as soon as I've done it.
- There must be something
that Tiddlypeeps and
Hoobs find funny!

could learn to laugh

whoopee cushion makes.
(whoopee cushion squelching)
- Maybe we could.
And am sure if the
Tiddlypeeps tried hard enough
they would laugh at the
Hoobledangler. (chuckles)
- (Laughing) Oh, Iver,
don't make me laugh again.

Maybe she's found the answer.
- Come in, Roma.
(electronic whooshing)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs.
I'm here in the big top tent,
and am dressed up like one
of the extra ordinary Peeps
that Tiddlypeeps laugh at.
They're called clowns,
and they do all sorts of tricks
which make Tiddlypeeps laugh.
- What sort of tricks, Roma?
- Well, they throw
pies of each other.
They tread in buckets of water.
They fall over again and again.
They even bang into each
other with planks of wood.
And every time they
do any of these things
the Tiddlypeeps laugh so much
that I am surprised their
tiddly little head
starts to fall off.
- But have the clowns
made you laugh, Roma?
- Well, everyone told me
that Hoobs were bound to
laugh clowns, but I must say
I don't find all this falling
over staff at all amusing.
- Do clowns do anything else
that might make you laugh, Roma?
- Well, if the clowns
had a Hoobledangler
I expect I'd laugh! (laughing)
(Hoobs laughing)
In fact, just thinking
about Hoobledangler
is making me start
(laughing) to laugh.
(Hoobs laughing)
Oh, I must control
myself. (laughing)
But I can't. (laughing)
Just imagining a Hoobledangler
is making me laugh.
(laughing) So much!
(laughing) I just might
fall over. (laughing)
This is Roma Hoob, not
laughing at clowns. (laughing)
But thinking of a
Hoobledangler. (laughing)
(Hoobs laughing)
(electronic whooshing)
- Well those clowns
don't make me laugh.
- Me neither.
- Did you laugh, Groove?
- Hmm?
Ah, can't let myself even
think about laughing,
until I find a place
to put my plank.
- (gasps) Of course!
Roma said the clowns hit
each other with planks
and it's very funny.
- I don't think so.
- Well at least Groove
makes us laugh. (chuckles)
- (laughing) That's true, Tula.
(laughing) But
time is getting on,
and we haven't gotten an
answer to our question.
- Hubba Hubba.
(electronic whooshing)
- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!
How are you doing?
- Well nobody laughed to
the clowns, Hubba Hubba.
- They didn't?
Oh, I say, nice plank, Groove.
- (laughing) Thank
you, Hubba Hubba.
I think so too.
It'll be even nicer when I've
worked out where to put it.
- Now, I think it must be time,
for another trip
to the Tiddlypeeps.
Surely they'll be
able to find something
that makes Hoobs laugh
as much as they do.
- Oh, I do hope so, Hubba Hubba.

- Come on Iver.
- Oh, coming Tula.

to give me your Hoob News
for my Hoobopaedia, Hoobs?
- All ready.
- Would you like
to sit down Iver?
- But I always stand up to do.
That's a good idea isn't it.
- Yeah, sit sit.
(whoopee cushion squelching)
- Oh!
(Hoobs laughing)
Did you put this whoopee
cushion there, Tula?
- Yes, Iver.
And you know what?
I can suddenly see why the
Tiddlypeeps find it so funny.
(Tula laughing)
- Hoobledoop whoop, 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.
- What makes Tiddlypeeps
and Hoobs laugh?
- We know that a Hoobledangler
makes the Hoobs laugh.
(Iver laughing)
(Tula laughing)
But we wanted to know what makes
Hoobs and Tiddlypeeps
laugh together.
- [Tula] We worked out that
the Tiddlypeeps often laugh,
when one of then is talking.
- [Iver] And the story told
us that this is because
they laugh at something
called a joke.
- But the joke from
the party cr*cker,
didn't make us laugh at all.
- [Iver] And the
Tiddlypeeps didn't laugh
at our Hoobledangler.
But they showed me something
that always makes them laugh.
It's called a whoopee cushion!
- [Tula] But the whoopee
cushion didn't make us laugh.
Not until a moment ago
that is. (laughing)
- [Iver] Roma discovered
that Tiddlypeeps
always laugh at clowns,
and clowns sometimes hit
each other with planks.
- [Groove] But that idea
didn't make us laugh at all.
Especially me.
- [Tula] Then some
Tiddlypeeps showed Iver
that there is something
else that makes them laugh.
It's.
- [Iver] Tickling!
We tried it out and
discovered that tickling.
- [Tula] Makes Hoobs laugh too.
- [Groove] Especially me.
- So there you have it.
The answer to the question,
what makes Tiddlypeeps
and Hoobs laugh is.
- [All] Tickling!
- Yes, so 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 lovely day
and Hoobletoodledoo!
- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
- Are you ready
for this, Groove?
- Hmm?
Oh, yes.
