They actually did a crossover with the fresh beat band and it's kwait a fun episode I love the adventures although I don't know how the fresh beats know about the Gabba characters like maybe their casts watch the show people probably thought that when the Gabba crew they don't have a group name not counting their superhero group name from the superhero episode so I'm just gonna to call them the Gabba crew so as I was saying when the Gabba crew appeared in Harper's pizza restaurant people probably thought the fresh beats reactions would be twist: oh my bananas who are you? Kiki: yeah we never seen you before and the Gabba crew would be like dj lance: hi I'm dj lance foofa:hi I'm foofa brobee: hi I'm brobee moono:hi I'm moona plex:hi I'm plex dj lance: we are from gabbaland but they somehow know who everyone they are as they just met them

There is something so funny about characters that are clearly from child media, interacting with the real world, but they don’t let their innocence become corrupted. Like that moment in TJVP is funny because the gang got captured but they don’t care, and still maintain that childlike whimsy. Like if a dead body showed up in Gabbaland, they’d probably sing a song about discovery, completely unaware of the implications, before Plex just zaps it away.

[@djm334-goomodding]

Plex is probably the most OP character, if he can zap anything out of existance

[@channeloffantasy]

Now that I think about your comment, if there was a 'villain figure' in this franchise, it has got to be Plex. He can just tell his friends about something, and they become easily influenced before he just takes it away. By doing so, he is preventing his friends from critically thinking about what they have learned, making him a manipulative influencer who has (almost) complete control over his subjects. Well, it depends... He can use it for good, like keeping his friends innocent, or he can take advantage of his abilities and use it for his own benefit.

I never watched any full episodes of _Yo Gabba Gabba!,_ but I loved playing the online games on the Nick Jr. website, and even watched clips from a few episodes. They were my first introduction to DEVO. I also like how AquaBats contains a _ton_ of classic tokusatsu references.

Out of all the shows you have covered, this one was my CHILDHOOD. And I have watched most of the shows you covered in the lore videos as a kid. Also, nice unibrow. I would also like to see you cover Blue's Clues or Julies Jr as you have mentioned here in the video :)

It might not be true but on the yo gabba gabba wiki it says Plex is 15. He's literally a second parent to the rest. Brobee is 4 and its confirmed in the ep Birthdays. Foofa is the second youngest yet somehow seems more mature. Like how is Muno gonna be 11 (i think) yet bites Foofa whose 9. Edit: Anyone remember the yo gabba gabba fresh beat band crossover?

The only episode I ever saw was the Jack Black episode bc I remember being distracted midsentence and going, "Is that... Jack Black???" while speaking to my brother, and being so mesmerized by the show's (and Jack Black's) charm. My brother, a lawyer starting his 40s, began to regale to me Yo Gabba Gabba lore like it was his fucking hobby, and strangely, perhaps by the hypnotic charm of the show I actually found it fascinating. Also curse you for throwing me down the rabbit hole of Plex x DJ Lance shipping, and now there's fanfiction and art I can't ever unsee again.

[@mx_morbid]

15:50 all I could think about in this part was the movie “Robots” from 2005 where when the kids aged up they got new parts/upgrades for whatever they were doing, they could also switch out parts if they switched jobs. Maybe Plex is the same and that’s why we see his niece who seems younger? Doesn’t explain why there weren’t baby videos though 🤔

[@Cinnamatime]

The fact that this ICONIC show had introduced 4 year old me to MCR is insane

I unironically, as a full grown adult, fucking LOVE this show.

Oh my god you should totally do a lore video on the Aquabats Super Show! It was such a shame that after the first season they had to go on to youtube to continue the series. But i love how each of the aquabats have a different origin story based on each bats perspective.

[@ThalguserasJade]

I couldn't find a credit but I'm sure Muno's mother ('I love chihuahuas and chinese noodles!') is a reference to Cindy Wilson from the B52s because in Song for a Future Generation she introduces herself with those exact words. Always impressed when kids' shows add little references and nods like that

[@bibblecat]

I loved this show! I literally had Plex as an imaginary friend for almost my whole childhood (weird ik), and I would run, hide, and cry every time the episodes where he would “die” came on

13:09 15:54 20:11 28:25 Theory: I think the reason why Brobee doesn’t have any confirmed is that he’s possibly an orphan and was adopted by Lance and Plex when he was possibly a few weeks old.
