WTF is Aquabats?
« on: Jun 15, 2012, 11:14:15 AM »
Weird Al is going to be on some show called Aquabats.  Never heard of it before.  Looked it up on Wikipedia.

I can't tell if the whole thing is a real thing, or a kids' thing, or some hipster thing we're supposed to like ironically, or what.  Watched a couple of youtube clips, which didn't help clear it up.  I found that I was not really enjoying it on its own merits, so maybe its supposed to be ironic?

As a caveat, I do tend to unironically enjoy kids' programming on its own merits (I can watch Spongebob or Fairly Oddparents for hours straight).

The lead singer of the rock band "The Aquabats", Christian Jacobs, also had a hand in Yo! Gabba Gabba.  Apparently the elaborate stage shows and costumes had some crossover appeal for kids shows.  I guess the just decided to make a show out of the Aquabats as well.

Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”
