03x15 - Tidying Up

Post by bunniefuu »

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!

I'm Hubba Hubba, talking

to you from Hoobland,

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to Earth to find

out all about you

for my great Hoobopaedia.

Here they come!

(theme music)

♪ The Hoobs are here

so what do ya say ♪

♪ Hoobs! ♪

(calming music)

- (sigh)

(humming)

- Hoob hoob hurray,

my paintings are dry.

Iver! Iver!

- What?

Oh oh oh yes, let me help you.

I'll just lower the um, hang on.

(boinging)

- Thanks Iver!

- Right.

Let's take the Hooby

rope downstairs,

so we can lay it out

properly, and then wind it up.

(boinging)

- You know who the Hoobs are.

Iver Groove, and Tula.

- Hooby galooby, what a mess.

What are you doing Groove?

- Isn't it obvious Iver?

- Groove.

- It's Hooby sort out day, tada!

- Oh no.

- Oh no.

(acoustic melody)

(chugging)

- Thirsty work.

(laughing)

Yes, Hooby sort out day,

when collecting Hoobs

across the universe sort

out their collections,

and swap them all around.

Today's the day when

my little toy duck here

might move from

my squeaky things

that go squeak collection,

to my "things that

look like a bird,

"but can't fly" collection.

(laughing)

Alternatively, it might be

moved into my collection

of things over here

- Yes, yes, all right.

- We get the picture.

- But we need to wind

up this Hooby rope.

- That's fine by me.

- Well come on then, Tula.

Let's try.

Now, if we just do.

(snapping)

Oh dear.

I've trodden on this.

- Oh, Iver.

That's one of my things you

can peep at peeps through.

- I'm sorry, Groove.

- I think it would be

a good idea to tidy up.

- Ay, tidy up.

I've only just got

everything out, Tula.

It's Hooby sort

out day, you know.

Why is it a good

idea to tidy up?

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba Hubba.

- Why is it a good

idea to tidy up?

That's a hooble-dooble duper

question for today's Hoob News.

- Yeah, but it won't actually

involve any tidying up,

will it?

- Who knows, Groove.

It might.

- It's Hooby sort out day

you see, so I'm a bit busy.

- And I'll email Roma.

She's bound to have

an idea or two,

and here's a story that

a Tiddlypeep sent me

that might start you off.

(upbeat music)

- [Narrator] Squeak,

the cheeky chimp,

always played her violin

at the chimp supper.

Each evening while

Squeak played,

the chimps slurped mango jelly

(chomping)

They gobbled mango sandwiches.

- Nice.

(laughing)

(chomping)

- [Narrator] And

washed it all down

with a cold mango milkshake.

(mood music)

Of course, this meant

lots of messy mango peel,

which they all took

great care to clear up.

(slurping)

Except for Squeak, who said.

- Since I play such

beautiful music,

I shouldn't have to tidy up.

- [Narrator] It was true that

Squeak's music was beautiful,

because she had a

very special violin

made by Gary the Gorilla.

(mood music)

Now one night, after

Squeak had eaten

a particularly juicy mango and

thrown the peel on the floor,

she decided to show off.

She began to play her violin

and to dance at the same time.

Suddenly, she stepped

on the peel and whoosh!

She slipped up in the

air landing, crash,

on her precious violin.

- My violin, it's ruined.

- [Narrator] She wailed.

- How will I ever get another?

(mood music)

- [Narrator] Gary Gorilla said,

- I'll make you

another violin, Squeak,

if you promise to tidy

up my shop every night.

- [Narrator] Squeak

had remembered how

she lost her violin,

by not tidying up.

So she tidied Gary's shop and

got her beautiful new violin.

And from that day on,

when she had finished

eating her lovely mango treats,

Squeak always

remembered to tidy up.

- That story has given

me a hooby groovy idea.

- Ah, now you know why it's

good to tidy up, Groove.

See, then I wouldn't

have broken this thing

from your collection of things

you can peep at peeps through.

- I'm glad you broke it,

Iver, because now I can go,

tap tap tap with it, which

means that I can move it

to my tappity tap collection.

(tapping)

- Oh no.

(laughing)

- Now, I know I've got

a tappity tap collection

here somewhere, but where?

♪ Where, where, where, where ♪

♪ Where ♪

- It doesn't matter where.

What matters is that we find out

about tidying up this mess.

- Mess?

This isn't mess.

It's Hooby's sort

out day, and nobody

is going to spoil

it for me, okay?

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba Hubba.

- Of course we're

not going to spoil

your Hooby sort out day, Groove.

We wouldn't dream of it.

- I've been thinking,

Hubba Hubba.

Tiddlypeeps sometimes have

to tidy up their

collections, too.

- Abso-hooby-lutely, Tula.

So why don't you go and

ask some Tiddlypeeps

what's so good about tidying up.

- I'll go, and

Iver, you can drive.

- Oh, yes yes.

- And I'll keep looking

for tappity tap collection.

(mood music)

- Seat belts?

- Seat belts.

- [Both] We're off to

see the Tiddlypeeps.

(gasping)

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

- Hoobledoop, Tula.

- Want to do a Hooby hello?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- [All] Hoobledoop, hoobledoop.

- [All] Woop, woop, woop.

- Ah, what are your names?

- I'm Mia.

- And I'm Joe.

- Well, you look very

busy there, Mia and Joe.

What are you doing?

- We've been doing a jigsaw,

but we can't finish it.

- Why not?

- We've lost a piece.

Do you think you

can help us find it?

- Of course I will.

Oh dear.

It's very messy

in here, isn't it?

- Well what if we

tidied up first?

- Yes, it'll be much easier

to see with everything

out of the way.

- You're right,

and I'll help you.

(upbeat music)

(chuckling)

- Woo, see them go.

- Tidying up.

- They're very quick.

(upbeat music)

- [Mia] Oh look, it's the

missing piece of our jigsaw.

- [Tula] That's hoobly-groobly.

- Now we can finish it.

(chuckling)

- Thanks for helping, Tula.

- Thank you.

That's given me an idea.

I'm going to go back

to the hoobmobile now,

and tell Groove all about it.

Hooble-toodle-do.

- Hooble-toodle-do.

- Hooble-toodle-do.

(upbeat music)

- There's my chance.

- Tappity tap tap.

- Untangle

this rope

- Groove!

once and for--

- Oh, sorry sorry

- Sorry, Tula.

Mind the rope.

- Groove, Groove.

- I know just how we can find

your tappity tap tap collection.

Aah!

- You do?

- How?

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪

- By tidying up.

That's how.

- Actually Tula, I'm

not that bothered

about finding my

tappity tap collection.

- Oh, don't be silly, Groove.

I know how important

it is to you.

Once you've tidied up,

you'll find it in no time.

(humming)

- Tula, please come and help

me wind up the hooby rope.

(acoustic melody)

- Iver, look what you've done.

- What?

What is it?

(gasps)

Oh no.

First I broke your thing

you peepered peeps with,

and now I've made

everything soaking wet.

- Awe, that doesn't matter Iver.

It's given me a Hooby brainwave.

You see, the great thing

about Hooby sort out day is,

whole new collections just

appear before your very eyes.

(laughing)

And here is my latest

collection; soggy wet things.

Hooby groovy.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Hooby groovy.

- Hooby groovy.

- I don't need to find my

tappity tap collection anymore,

so we don't need to tidy up.

- Oh Iver, if you hadn't

spilled the Hoob juice,

I'd have had this

question sorted by now.

- Well I was only trying

to untangle the Hooby rope.

- [Echoing Voice] Roma.

- Phew, here's Roma.

- Hooble-doop Hoobs.

- [All] Hooble-doop, Roma

- Now today Hoobs, I've come

here to a Tiddlypeep school.

Hubba hubba emailed me,

asking me to find out

about tidying up,

and I've asked some

of the Tiddlypeeps here

if they could help me.

- What did the say, Roma?

- Well Iver, apparently

some tidying up

is about to happen in here.

There should be some Tiddlypeeps

arriving at any moment.

Ah, in fact, here they come now.

(acoustic melody)

- What's happening, Roma?

- Well Tula, these Tiddlypeeps

were in here earlier

before they went to

have their lunch.

They were sitting

in all these chairs

while their teacher

read them a story,

but some other

Tiddlypeeps are going

to be in here very soon.

- Are they going

to have to stand up

to listen to their story, Roma?

- No, Groove.

The next group of

Tiddlypeeps are going

to have a dancing lesson.

So these Tiddlypeeps are

tidying away the chairs

so there's room for

their friends to dance.

The other Tiddlypeeps

will be here any second,

so they need to get

it done very quickly.

- They're doing a great

job together, Roma.

- They certainly are, Iver

This room will soon

be hoobaciously tidy,

which is just as

well because ha!

I'm teaching the dance class,

and I'm going to be showing

the other Tiddlypeeps

some big, up and

down kind of dancing.

So they're going to

need lots of space

to run up and down.

- It looks like

they're almost done.

- We're finished Roma.

- All chairs are tidied away.

- Thank you, Tiddlypeeps.

Fan-tabby-hooby.

The room's tidy just in time,

and there's plenty of room

for the next lot of

Tiddlypeep's dance class.

This is Roma Hoob, off to

dance around a nice tidy room.

Hooble-doodle do.

- [All] Hooble-doodle-do

- Ah, now I see.

- You do?

- You do?

- Yes, I haven't been

very thoughtful, have I?

I mean, you and Iver,

you can't get on

with what you need to do.

- You've got it, Groove.

- So I've only been thinking

about myself, haven't I?

- Mhmm.

- All this time, you've

been trying to tell me.

Oh, I'm really sorry.

- Oh Groove, it's okay.

It is Hooby sort

out day after all.

- But perhaps if

I tidied up now,

then you two could

roll up the Hooby rope

and put it away.

- Oh, yes.

- Right, I'll tidy all

my collections away.

- Oh, that would be

hoobly-groobly, Groove.

Thank you so much.

- And as quickly as

you can please, Groove.

It's nearly time for Hoob News.

- Yes, okay.

Just let me find a

good place to start.

Ummm.

- Start anywhere, Groove.

(upbeat music)

- Oh no.

I do want to tidy up,

really I do, Tula.

The problem is, how?

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba Hubba.

- This will show

you how, Groove.

Look at the pictures

I found on Hoobnet

- But I haven't got

time Hubba Hubba.

I know why tidying

up is a good idea.

I've just got to do it now.

- Yes, I know, Groove.

But if you watch

what I've found,

you'll see just how it

can be done and quickly.

(upbeat music)

Now what are these three

peeps going to do here?

You see, they're all

going to work together

to tidy things up.

- Oh.

- Ooh!

- [Hubba Hubba] Look, buckets.

Yes, going there.

Oh, how clever.

There's a basket going

up on a shelf there.

Oh I bet you'd like a bit

of a collection like this

wouldn't you, Groove?

(laughing)

Pots and pans.

Flower pots.

Boxes.

All going away.

Look at that, and haven't

they done that quickly, Hoobs?

You see, everything tidy

and speedily done too.

- Tidy.

All those peeps were

working together.

Hmm, if we helped you, Groove,

it wouldn't take nearly as long.

- You mean you'd help?

- Of course we would.

- Let me run this

past you again.

You're offering to help me

tidy up all my collections?

- Yes, Groove.

Who knows, it might even be fun.

- Fun?

(laughing)

I don't think so.

Getting things out is fun.

Putting things away, not fun.

No no no no no.

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba Hubba.

- Why don't you go and

ask the Tiddlypeeps

how to make tidying up fun?

- Hoobacious idea, Hubba Hubba.

- To this I have

to say, I'll go.

- Ah, no Groove.

You start tidying up.

I'll go.

Iver can drive.

- All right then.

- Yes.

- Yes.

(laughing)

- Let's have a look in here.

- [Kids] Hooble-doop, Tula.

- Ah, it looks like you've

been having lots of fun.

Pitty about all

this mess though.

You still got to tidy it all up.

That won't be much fun.

- It can be if you

make it fun, Tula.

Watch.

- Tula, you can start the game.

- The game?

- Game?

- Yes, we always make

tidying up into a game.

- Then it all gets done quickly,

and we can have some fun too.

- Go on, Tula

- Hey, hey.

- Shout out the names

of two of these things.

- Uh, okay.

Um, cricket bat,

and ball.

(upbeat music)

- Skittle and bat.

(upbeat music)

- See?

Tidying up can be fun if

you turn it into a game.

- Well, Hubba Hubba was right.

You've definitely found a

way of making tidying up fun,

and you did it in

no time at all.

Oh, you've been a great

help, Tiddlypeeps.

- No problem, Tula.

- Well, I'd better get

back to the Hoobmobile now,

but thanks so much.

Hooble-toodle do.

- [Kids] Hooble-toodle do.

(upbeat music)

- So we need stuck together

things, yellow blobby things,

and things that go wee.

(laughing)

- Right.

Aah!

Here's something that'll go wee.

(horn blasting)

- Okay, okay you two.

We're going to play a game.

- We're already playing it,

Tula, and it's your turn.

I need things with

pink ribbons on,

things you can see through,

and stones not

shaped like fruit.

- Right.

(upbeat music)

- Faster, faster.

(upbeat music)

Okay Iver, things made of rubber

and feathery things please.

- Right.

Ooh!

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Yeah, aha.

Hooby groovy.

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba Hubba

- Well Hoobs, are you ready

to give me your Hoob News

for my great Hoobapaedia?

- Any minute now, Hubba Hubba.

Oh, there.

At last.

- Then take it away.

(upbeat music)

- Hooble-doop woop, 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.

- Why is it a good

idea to tidy up?

- It began when I accidentally

trot on Groove's thing

you can peep at peeps through.

- Hubba Hubba found us a

story that made us realize

it is very easy to break things

when the place is in a mess.

- But it didn't bother me,

because now I had two sticks,

and I wanted to put them in

my tappity tap collection.

- Except Groove

couldn't find it.

Then the Tiddlypeeps showed

us that when you tidy up,

you can often find all sorts

of things that you've lost.

- But I didn't need to find

my tappity tap

collection anymore,

because I'ver spilled Hoob

juice all over everything

and made me a new collection

of wet and soggy things.

- [Iver] Then Roma sent

us a report from a school

where all the Tiddlypeeps

were tidying up

so that other Tiddlypeeps

could have a dance class.

- And that's when I

realized I was stopping Iver

and Tula from doing

what they needed to do,

but I still didn't

really want to tidy up.

- [Iver] Then Hubba Hubba

showed us some pictures

of peeps doing lots

of tidying up together

- So Iver and I

promised to help Groove.

- Which was very kind.

- [Tula] Then some

Tiddlypeeps showed me how

to play Hoobly

Groobly tidying up.

- [Groove] And I realized

that putting things away

can be as much fun as

getting everything out.

- [All] Hoob, hoob, hooray!

- Hooble dooble duper.

So, all you collecting

Hoobs out there,

tidy up with your friends,

and you'll have the best

Hooby sort out day ever.

- [All] Happy Hooby

sort out day everyone.

- Haha, 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 nice day,

and hooble-toodle do.

- [All] Hooble-toodle do!

- Do you know what?

I've decided that I

don't want a collection

of wet and soggy things anymore.

Now, I want a collection

of dry things.

- Oh, all right, Groove.

- So I'm gonna hang them up

on the roof garden to dry.

- No, Groove!

- Oh Groove!

- No!
