Jeff = The Creepy Wiggle. He weirds me out for some reason or other. ???
They're all pretty bloody weird, if you ask me!
They're not in-your-face treacly and irritating, like so much else in that realm. And no PC messages either.
I doubt they're gay but I do know they're very bloody rich!
This is true - I can actually stomach the Wiggles over most of the rest of the junk on kiddie TV.
Two of the Wiggles are married and their children are part of the show. One of them (Anthony) was part of an Aussie "best looking men" list. Then there is Jeff. . .
I've taken the kids 3 times to see them in concert and have never walked away disappointed.
Three of the Wiggles (Anthony, Murray and Greg, I believe) have degrees in early childhood education, so combining that with their musical talent came naturally to them.
They are the Beatles of the little kids set. Having kids who are fans gives us grownups the excuse to enjoy their truly wonderful music.
After working in show business for some time, I have come to the conclusion that MOST men who make their living in front of a camera or on a theater stage,
are gayer than a birthday tablecloth.
Even the ones who don't appear to be. The Wiggle boyz, appear to be. In my mind, that makes em a slam dunk.
Seriously, cut the guy a break - how many of you could go through life having kids screaming "WAKE UP JEFF!!" everywhere you go, and still laugh about it?
Plus the fact that he's of Chinese ancestry yet speaks "Aussie" English is cool.
Kindly refrain from posting such obscenity in the future. Its not appreciated. There's a line of good taste and you've crossed it.
Dude- lighten up Francis.
Sorry for ruining the highbrow tone of the Wiggles thread! I'll slink off into the shadows now.
That is an extremely disturbing picture. Ugh.
They are exactly what children's entertainment used to be before the age of PC. Kind of like a throw back in time.
Before you start throwing stones I suggest you rent a couple of randomly selected Wiggle DVDs at your local Blockbuster.
And as I pointed out above, 3 of them actually got degrees in early childhood education, met in college and started the Wiggles there. They didn't go into it for the $$$ and their hard work has been rewarded.
30 million hot German chicks plus one Bombshell Mrs. David Hasselhoff say you don't know what you're talking about...
I was just watching The Wiggles tonight since my two toddlers demanded it. They can be annoying, but compared to the other options, they aren't that bad. For those of you with young'uns I highly recommend They Might Be Giants' "Here Come the ABCs". An odd, but fun look at the alphabet with some very catchy tunes (TMBG is a long-running quirky alt-pop duo). And of course, Veggie Tales is great too.
Okay, defender of the thread that you didn't start anyway.
Calm down. Go take a cold shower. It's not like I'm ripping on Veggie Tales, or Looney Tunes.
Looney Tunes (the REAL Looney Tunes - pre-1960) were made just as much for adults as for kids. You must remember that the Warner Bros. cartoons were played before regular features in the movie theaters from the 1930s - 1950s. Hence their adult-oriented humor.
