(spacey music)

- Hobble-doop, tiddly peeps.

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 Hoobapedia.

Here they come!

(spacey music)

♪ You know who the Hoobs are ♪

we want to know ♪

♪ The Hoobs are here

♪ HOOBS ♪

- Yeah, heh-heh heh heh.

Okay, hoobily groovily.

- NO.

- Okay.

Let's try this one then.

Hooble dooble dooper.

- Nooo!

- Okay.

- What ya doing?

- Oh, we're looking

through my collection

of words to use if

you like something.

- Oh, well, what

you doing that for?

- Oh, well I thought that

at the end of Hoob News

it might be a Hooby Groovy

idea to tell Hubba Hubba

how we really feel about him.

- That is a hooby groovy idea.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

Hey, why don't we tell

him he's hooby groovy?

- No, Groove, because you

call everything hooby groovy.

What we need is a

really special word.

A word more hooby groovy

than hooby groovy.

- More hoobacious

than hoobacious?

- More hooble dooble dooper

than hooble dooble dooper?

- Yes.

A word that sums up just

how hoobily groovily

Hubba Hubba is.

- But what?

♪ What, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- Nah.

- I don't know what.

There's only one hoob

who knows lots of words,

and that's Hubba Hubba.

I'll ask him.

- Oh.

(upbeat music)

Ha-ha-ha.

Right then.

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Hooble doob, hoobs.

- Hooble doob, Hubba Hubba.

- Um we were just wondering,

do you know a word

that means even more

hooble dooble dooper

than hooble dooble dooper?

- I most certainly do.

The longest word in

the Hoob dictionary.

(clears throat)

(inhales)

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

- Phew, that is a long word.

- I took me ages to learn it.

What do you need it for?

- Oh (stammers) um.

- It's for Grooves

collection of words

to use for something you like.

Thanks, Hubba Hubba.

- Oh, you're welcome.

- Hooby galooby that word had

loads of bellies in it.

- Heh, yes, fan-um.

- belly

- Fanbelly?

- Fan-something-belly-belly.

(laughing)

belly belly belly belly.

- No, no, no, it was

much longer than that.

We need to learn

the whole thing.

- Yeah, well we're trying, Iver,

but how do you learn knew words?

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- You've just hit

the question, Groove.

- How do you learn new words?

That's a

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilygs

question for today's Hoob News!

- You see?

Hoob loads of billies.

Told ya.

- Did you get it?

- Not all of it.

Hooby bother.

- I will email Roma to see

what she can find out, Hoobs.

But first, let me look

on Hoobnet and see

if we can discover how

Tiddlypeeps learn new words.

Ha, just that might be

a good start, really.

Oh, yes, here we go.

Right, now let's see what

we've got here, Hoobs.

Ha, these look like happy

little chaps, don't they?

See?

(baby cooing)

They're trying to

communicate something.

They don't use proper

words yet, you see, Hoobs

because they're

squiddly Tiddlypeeps,

and so they make

other sounds, you see.

Like, da, da, da.

And mum, mum, mum.

So they're trying to express

themselves, you see, hoobs.

Using their sounds instead

of the the big Peep words.

(Iver speaking gibberish)

ha, ha-ha-ha.

- Ga-ga, goo-goo.

- Oh, da, da, da, do.

- Da, ga, ga-ga, goo-goo.

(laughing)

- Shush, please.

I'm trying to

remember that word.

Fantabitroo.

- Bloo, bloo.

- Bloo bloo?

No, Groove, it

doesn't go like that.

Oh, now I've forgotten it again.

I wonder how squiggly

Tiddlypeeps get

from making noises to saying

proper Tiddlypeep words.

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba?

- Funny you should

ask that, Tula,

because I just found this

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilygs

story on the Hoobnet.

(laughing)

- belly belly. (laughing)

- Did you get it?

- (stammers) Fantabitroobily...

No, not quite.

- Oh.

(screaming)

- [Computer] Baby Ben

liked making noises.

He could make screaming noises.

(screaming)

He could make squawking noises.

(squawking)

(dishes clattering)

And he could make

screeching noises,

that rattled cups

and wobbled saucers.

(screeching)

Ben lived with a lady, and

a small smelly furry thing,

that made noises

rather like he did.

- Meow.

- [Computer] But the lady made

completely different noises.

When she gave Ben his

sweet slurpy stuff

she made a noise like this.

- Dinner.

- [Computer] When she pointed

at the smelly furry thing,

she mad a noise like this.

- Cat.

- [Computer] And when

she pointed to herself,

she made a noise like this.

- Mommy.

- [Computer] She would

make these noises

over and over again.

But Ben would just go.

(screaming)

Then one day,

(stomach growling)

Ben really felt like

some of that sweet slurpy stuff.

He tried screaming.

(baby screaming)

(cat screeching)

He tried squawking.

(baby squawking)

(dishes clattering)

He even tried the

biggest screech ever.

(baby screeching)

But the lady just looked at him.

- Meow.

- [Computer] Then suddenly,

a sound came into his head.

- Dinner.

- Dinner.

- [Computer] He said,

and the lady brought over

some of the sweet slurpy stuff.

Baby Ben looked up at the lady

and another word

came into his head.

- Mommy.

(gasps)

- [Computer] He said.

And the lady was so

excited, she gave a screech.

(laughing)

That rattled the cups

and wobbled the saucers.

- Oh, so that's how

Tiddlypeeps learn words.

Their peep moms and

dads say them to them

over and over again.

- So we should ask Hubba

Hubba to say his long word

to us over and over again.

- Yes, yes.

And I write the word down,

then we can read it out

hoobles of times

until we learn it.

Hooby pen.

- Heh, all I know is, I

like the bellies best.

belly, belly, belly,

belly, belly, belly.

- (laughing) Ah!

There we are, right.

(clears throat)

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba?

- What can I do for you, Hoobs?

- Well, we were thinking

that that big word

might be useful for Hoob News.

So, could you just say it over

and over for us, Hubba Hubba?

- Certainly, Tula.

Glad to. (clears throat)

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

- Ahem, belly, belly, belly.

-

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

(laughing) It's not

easy learning new words.

Especially ones as long as that.

But, I bet I know

who could help you.

The Tiddlypeeps.

- Of course!

- And while you're there,

you could teach them

some Hoob words too.

- Fantabibellybellybelly

all day, Hubba Hubba.

I'll go.

- I'll drive.

Oh let's get those

Motorettes singing.

(laughing)

Fantabitroobilygroobily,

something...

Something.

- Seat belt?

- Yes, thank you.

- We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps.

- Ha-ha.

- Hey that was hooby groovy.

Would you like to learn

some more Hoob words?

- We'd love to.

- Oh, good, right.

Can I borrow your biscuit?

Can I?

Thank you. (laughing)

Now listen very carefully.

I am about to speak Hoob, ha.

His biscuit is (chomping) hmmm.

What would be the best word?

This biscuit is hoobilicious,

which means it

tastes really good.

Right you try that.

- This biscuit is hoobilicious.

- Well done, Tiddlypeeps.

Did you hear that, Iver, Tula.

I've told you it was a

good word. (laughing)

- Yes.

- Hoobilicious.

- Right, what would

the Tiddlypeeps say,

if they were really

enjoying a biscuit.

- Well we might say this

is an amazing biscuit.

Or this biscuit is delicious.

- Right.

- Or this is a tasty biscuit.

- All right.

- This is a scrumptious biscuit.

- Scrumptious.

- Amazing, delicious,

scrumptious, tasty.

Oh, I hope you got all

those Peep words, Iver.

- Tula?

- Yes, yes.

- Yes we did.

- Or you could say, wonderful.

- Or gorgeous.

- Hooby galooby.

So many peep words for

just one little biscuit.

I better be off

now, Tiddlypeeps,

but before I go, remind me.

What's the peep word

for Hooble Toodle doo?

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye, that's

it, of course it is.

Goodbye then, Tiddlypeeps.

- Goodbye, Groove.

(laughing)

- Oh no, Iver.

It's Fatabitroobilygroovy.

- Is it?

- Mmm.

- I thought there was

another belly there.

- Hooby galooby

Did you hear all those

hooby groovy peep words?

- Oh, I'm gonna see how

many I can remember.

- Oh, gorgeful,

that was one, yeah.

I think.

- I thought you were

meant to be finding out

how to remember our special

word for Hubba Hubba.

- Oh yeah, sure, right, Iver,

but along the way, we've

learned a whole load

of new peep words, heh.

- Okay, Groove, let's

see if you can remember

our special Hooby word.

- Ready? (clears throat)

Fantabitroobilygrootastyscrumti.

- No, Groove.

Those are peep words.

(groans)

- Oh why can't we

remember the whole thing?

- [Computer] Roma,

Roma, Roma, Roma.

- That's Roma, maybe

she'll have some ideas.

- Hooble doob, Hoobs.

- Hooble doob, Roma.

- (sighs) I'm afraid I'm

feeling a little homesick today.

- Oh, poor Roma.

- Thank you, Tula.

But don't worry.

I've come along here

to cheer myself up.

- Where are you, Roma?

- Well, Iver, I'm in a

place that peeps call

and observatory.

- An observatory?

Hm, how's that

gonna cheer you up?

- Because, Groove, I'm

gonna have a little look at

Hoobland!

- Ooh, a look at Hoobland?

But it's thousand of miles away.

How are you going

to see it, Roma?

- Well, Tula, I'd heard

that they had an enormous

hooby-see-more here

that peeps look through

to see the stars and planets.

- Hooby galooby.

- Hooby galooby, indeed, Iver.

But then nobody seemed to

know what I was talking about.

They said they'd never

heard of a hooby-see-more.

All they had was this

thing called a telescope.

- What?

- A telescope.

The peeps said the word

to me very, very slowly.

That's how I learned it.

Tel-e-scope.

- Tel-e-scope.

- That's it!

And guess what, Hoobs.

This telescope is

a hooby-see-more.

A huge one.

It's just the peeps call

it something different.

- Oh.

- In a moment I'll be

taking a little peep

through this telescope

and seeing our home!

Then I won't feel

homesick any more.

- Say hooble doob from us, Roma.

- I will, Groove.

This is Roma Hoob on

the Earth, about to look

through a telescope

and see Hoobland.

Hoob, hoob hooray!

Hooble toodle doo!

- Hooble toodle doo!

- Aw, I'd love to see Hoobland

through a giant Hooble-see-more.

I mean, tel-e-scope.

- Tel-a-scope.

Telescope.

Yeah, Roma's right, you know.

Saying words slowly really

helps you learn them

- Mm, that's been our

problem all along, you know.

Hubba Hubba talks too fast.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- So Hoobs, how

are you getting on?

- Um, Fine thanks.

Hubba Hubba, I wonder if

you could say that long

Hooby word really slowly for us.

- Yeah, of course,

I'd be glad to.

Okay, ready?

- Yep.

-

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

(Laughing)

- Belly, belly,

belly. (laughing)

- Got it.

- Oh good.

Now then, I was thinking.

Why don't you go and talk

to some more Tiddlypeeps

about learning new words.

They're learning new ones

all the time, you know.

- Wonderful.

- Gorgeous idea.

They might even

teach us some more.

- Yeah.

- Absohoobylutely.

- I'll go.

- And I'll drive again.

- Hooble doob, Tiddlypeeps.

- Hooble doob, Groove.

- Hey, that's a really amazing

biscuit you've got there.

I'd almost say it

was scrumptious.

- Hey Groove,

you're speaking peep

language really well.

- I know.

I have learned lots of

other peep words too.

Like, gorgeous, and

delicious, and wait for it...

Telescope.

(laughing)

- That's great,

well done, Groove.

- Aw, thanks, it

was nothing, heh.

- Actually, what we speak

is only one peep language.

- Only one?

You mean, there's another one?

- There are hundreds, Groove.

- In all of the different

parts of the world

there are different languages.

- Hooby galooby.

Did you hear that, Iver, Tula?

There's hundreds

of different languages.

- Languages.

- Hundreds.

- How am I

gonna learn them all.

- You don't need to learn

all of them, Groove.

You can just start off by

saying "Hello", listen.

- Bon jour.

That's how they say

hello in France.

- All right, bon jour.

- Ciao.

That's how they say it in Italy.

- Okay, ciao, ha.

- Ola.

That's how they

say hello in Spain.

- Ola, heh.

I hope you're getting

all this, Tula.

- Ola.

- Konnichiwa.

That's hello in Japan.

- Konnichiwa.

Wow, I never knew

there were so many ways

to say Hooble doob.

Aw, thanks to thee, peeps.

Well, I better be getting

back to the hoobmobile now.

I've got a very

big word to learn.

This has really helped

me, so, hooble toodle doo.

- Hooble toodle doo!

-

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

Hooray! (laughing)

- Ola!

Bon jour.

Ciao. (laughing)

I repeated those words

over and over and over

to myself on the way back

from the tiddlypeeps.

Now I know them!

- Well that's really

wonderful, Groove.

But it's nearly

time for Hoob News

and you still haven't

learned this hoob word.

- Okay, let's go

for it right now.

-

Fantabitroobilygroobilyhoobilyg.

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

- Well Hoobs.

Are you ready to give

me your Hoob News

for my great Hoobapedia.

- We're ready Hubba Hubba.

- Then take it away.

- Hooble doob 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.

- How do you learn new words.

- It all started when

we wanted to find a word

that was more

hooble dooble dooper

than hooble dooble dooper.

- [Iver] Hubba Hubba

told us the longest word

in the Hoob dictionary.

- But we found that

really hard to learn.

- So, we thought that if we

found out how tiddlypeeps

learned word, that

would help us.

- [Iver] We learned that

squiggly Tiddlypeeps

started speaking by

making funny sounds.

Then the story told us that

they start to make words

instead of sounds when

their peep moms and dads

say the words over

and over again.

- [Tula] So we got Hubba

Hubba to say the long word

over and over again.

But we still couldn't get it.

- [Iver] Hubba Hubba

said that it wasn't easy

learning new words, but

the Tiddlypeeps might

teach us a few.

- [Groove] So I went

to see the Tiddlypeeps.

I taught them some Hoob

words and they taught me

lots of hooby groovy

peep words, heh.

Like tasty, gorgeous,

amazing, scrumptious.

- [Tula] But we still couldn't

say the long hoob word.

- [Iver] Then Roma told

us about a new peep word.

Telescope, Hmhm.

She'd learned it by saying

it over and over again

very, very slowly.

- So we tested that idea

out by asking Hubba Hubba

to say our word very, very

slowly and Iver wrote it down.

- [Groove] While Iver

and Tula said the word

over and over again, I decided

to visit the Tiddlypeeps.

That's when I discovered

that there are actually

hundreds of peep languages.

I said some words over and

over again to learn them

because that's how

you learn new words.

- Well done, Hoobs.

What an amazing report.

So, it's thanks, once aga--

- But it's not over yet.

There's one word we just want

to say to you, Hubba Hubba.

We think that you are...

- Fantabitroobily-

- Groobilyhoobily-

- Groovydoobleacious.

- So that's why you

needed to learn the word.

You cheeky Hoobs.

And I think you're

groovalisticalhoobledoobgrobily.

(laughing)

- Only one belly in

that one. (laughing)
