Caught In The Act!

Viciously sweaty ping pong challenges have been rapidly going on for the last week or so, a few players have even gone as far as purchasing their own paddles. Some however, are going above and beyond, by catching up on their TIPS FROM THE PROS!

Here we see Ricky learning from the best via YouTube (and full-screen, wow):



Immediately after these shots were taken, the office erupted into laughter while Ricky turned a rather Munoish shade of red.

If you have any great ping pong tips or stories, be sure to let us know in the comments section!

Oh, and a fun fact: The sound of ping pong being played is one of the happiest sounds in the world. True fact, seriously.

Awesome dudery all around!

Ron Cameron stopped by and if you dont know about Ron well you can find out more about him on his blog or in this article.



Ron helped us last year on the "Ride" episode; not only did he create the "Ride" jingle (animated by Darin Bendall), but he also did some really great stunt-double work for Muno!


In other fantastic news, Dan Kelly started working today!!
Hooray! Dan Kelly is AWESOME!!



Dan has been in such bands as: Only Crime, Hunter's Revenge and probably at least 234 more. We are stoked to have him on board.

Parker's birthday extravaganza!

I know what you're thinking, we just love cake right? Well yes, you are right. We love birthdays even more, today we had the great pleasure to celebrate Parker's. Just look at how surprised he was when we lured him into the birthday cave...



His mighty lungs blew out the thousands of candles with ease...



Even Tyler was here to help celebrate; BROTHERHOOD!



Hooray! Happy birthday Parker, we all love you.

I ♥ NY!

Here's some math you can get behind:

DJ Lance Rock+Brobee+Central Park+10,000 Fans= FUN!

DJ Lance and Brobee performed a 30 min. set for THOUSANDS of fans at the Central Park Summer Stage event. Well, the thousands that got in. Over 5,000 were turned away because the place was so packed! Thanks to everyone that made this event possible and so amazing! Everyone was singing and dancing! Here are pics from the event! Brobee made us delete the pic of him eating pizza (he got cheese all over his fur).

(All pics provided by Laura Hanifin. Thanks Laura!)

Fun News!! For Fun!!!

• New Yo Gabba Gabba Clothing is available NOW in secret Target and Kohl's locations across the country. So that leaves the question as to, WHERE??? Help us find out and win prizes at Gabbafriends.com!!!

• We love it when people buy our merchandise, because that's the only thing that keeps us from sudden, instant and immediate death. 


Nevertheless, home made Yo Gabba Gabba goodies are still the coolest ever. Seriously! For example, check out these 3 homemade goodies from Delane Lyn, a Yo Gabba super fan!

It's Muno's sister Chibo (I♥her), GOOBLE and a little baby named Dexter. OK, so the baby isn't a Yo Gabba Gabba character, but I'm pretty sure he was homemade, so there. You know, something needs to be said about Gooble's growing cult status, especially in the homemade goodies world. Maybe I 'll say something tomorrow.

• You can still catch Brobee and Plex at these Toy's R Us events!!

Happy birthday Shana!

Shana turned another year wiser today! From all of us here, we'd like to shout it from the rooftops, town squares and ring out the bells... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANA!



To celebrate, we all devoured a super delicious, vegan ice cream cake from our favorite gelato shop SCOOPS! We can't wait for her next birthday...

Now, we'd like to leave you with some fun Shana facts:

Shana's favorite fruits are: Pineapple, mango, and watermelon.
Her favorite colors are: Purple, Turquoise and zebra stripes.
Her favorite candy is the grape Ring Pop.
She can also blow spit bubbles that float and pop like real bubbles from a wand, AWESOME!

Today is Scott Johnson's birthday, hooray Scott!

Scott, AKA Scojo is an incredible costume designer and master craftsman who works on our little tugboat of a show. He came on board last season, in a pinch and ended up sticking around much to our delight.



Scott has worked with the Jim Henson Creature Shop for years and years, he also worked on Crank Yankers and the new "Where The Wild Things Are" movie as well as many other awesome productions. We are really lucky to have him, he has a great attitude and really knows his way around furry costumes.

So to you Scott, on you birthday, WE SALUTE YOU!

Season three begins, and it's going to be massive!

After photos coming soon...

The Art of Yo Gabba Gabba!

Mirrored VIA: CARTOON BREW


This Saturday, July 11, in Minneapolis, the Pink Hobo Gallery (507 E. Hennepin Ave.) will host an art show “The Art of Yo Gabba Gabba!” featuring artwork from the Nick Jr. TV series. Among the items on display: never-before-seen original drawings and sketches from the show’s creator and lead designer Parker Jacobs, props used in the show, and original production artwork from the show’s guest artists including King Mini, Mark Mothersbaugh, Option-G, Panda Panther, Megan Brain, Aaron Stewart, Mitch Loidolt, Tim Sievert, Julia Vickerman, and Tanya Haden. The opening is between 5pm and 1am. The show will continue to run after this weekend, but beware that the gallery doesn’t keep normal hours because it’s located in the offices of the production company Puny Entertainment. More details are available on this Facebook invite.
