Default What is it with soddin Wiggles.......

I understand Wiggles are great for really small kids, but can someone tell me why it's appropriate for them to engage adults in their adverts?

I've seen them in adverts to engage adults and can't believe it

Why would any normal adult be motivated by morons Wiggling their hands and talking like dickheads?

Whoever engages the Wiggles for adult causes wants their knackers throwing to the dogs:curse:

There.....I feel top class now

Agreed! My little one watches the programme sometimes and they've got a segment called How Can We Wake Up Geoff?, well Geoff looks like he's seen better days and could really use the nap instead of people hassling him with Wiggly Waffles.

I reckon Geoff's on the game. That's why he's always so tired in the mornings.

Hmm.. you could be right, because he couldn't be doing much lying down if he was on the game.

I mean, he'd have to pay you, right? And even then, I'm not sure there's enough money in the world.

They're all ... on a par with the Chuckle Brothers.

BURN THEM!

With their stupid grins and twatty hand movements, I just want to stand them in front of each other and run a giant skewer through them all and make a kebab out of them. The blue wiggle and that ridiculous pirate really take the cake and would look a hell of a lot better after theyve been peppered with rubber bullets at close range.


I dont mind Dorothy though.

They are a very clever group of guys who've put together a massive team of directors, stage directors and dvd manufacturers that keep young children very happy.

Especially Anthony Wiggle. He is the brains behind it all. Take the piss all you want. He's worth 100 times what you are worth, and he loves his job. He set it all up and really believes in what he does: Fun and kids advancement.

I think the Wiggles are great - for 2 yr olds that is.

You have to respect the extent of the charity work these guys do - sublime

Oooh don't get me started

With their horrible wriggly little hips and the way they move, even their hair annoys me.

Like Liptons tea, they ought to be illegal.

Burn them, gouge their eyes, bury them in the sand and get people to shat on their heads and kick them really hard.

I should have known I could count on you!

Could I nip round to your house later on and borrow your thumb screws?
