When the Wiggles were just starting out (about 15 years ago), they didn't have a huge budget for "lights, camera, action", and relied mostly upon puppet shows to entertain children with their music.
This vintage Wiggles video is one of their earliest productions. I showed this to my four and two year old kids, and they didn't find it freaky at all, but I about died by the time the Captain Feathersword puppet appeared.
Wiggles definitely look creepy.
ReplyDeleteNormally the Wiggles don't creep me out, I actually enjoy watching them. But this puppet show makes it look like they're tripping on acid.

ReplyDeleteI am absolutly sure that had they not made the wiggles human they would not be as popular today. That was freaky.....I think I am afraid of puppets.
ReplyDeleteI know - that thing IS weird!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! That Murray puppet is going to give me nightmares! I thought it was hilarious, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it that got you? The incessant finger pointing at his crotch?
