After 20 years I never realized they were British...

I never found Teletubbies interesting in my childhood I just thought they were straight up creepy and still do .

When I was a kid, I apparently loved this show. One day, my mother told me that I was sitting at a friends house, in my friends room and the living room tv was being flipped through random channels, with the mute on for the sound. There was no way for me to know the show came onto the tv, but once she flipped to it and left it there, I BURST into the room screaming “TELETUBBIES!” She refused to let me watch the show after that and swiftly replaced it with blues clues. I love her for this.

My childhood would never be ruined by this because I've always been scared of Teletubbies

The fact this was made in 1997 still has good quality

My mom actually banned me from watching teletubbies when I was little because she said I’d laugh uncontrollably and it freaked her tf out 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a babysitter, I always found the telletubbies silly, interesting, and a little creepy. There is no doubt small children loved the program.

Man I loved this show as a kid and those speakers and that windmill really did make me feel some type of way. It’s hard to explain but I definitely was like attached to those things and somehow to this day when I see them in this video I have a faint memory of how that feeling was. Almost like a sense of euphoria or being high

I used to love this show until I had a dream the red teletubbie was the devil. I was like 5 at the time. Haven’t watched it ever since. Scared the living daylight outta me

I didn't remember the colors being so bright.

After rewatching teletubbies as a 20 year now I now realize, teletubbies was a very creepy show during the early 2000s.

Fun fact the little shapes on there heads are cult symbols and actually come together to make this one cult symbol and the fact that the intro always ends with the baby crying

I was never really a huge fan of Teletubbies, so this wasn't all that childhood ruining for me: Proceed.

The dark truth about among us and the teletubies among us characters eyes are LITERLY TELETUBIES belly

I loved watching this! Alex nailed this. It speaks so strongly to us who grew up with this show and in retrospect see how eerie it really was. The bright colours, repetition and auditory/visual cues all make for what appears to be something very entrancing and potentially addictive to children. There is no learning but instead a narrator who describes actions made and the reasons for them. The microphone (representing periods of dictates) has a dissonant sound that contrasts the soft and harmonious melodies throughout the show. When they defy he just presses on, very slightly changing the tonality of his voice. These creatures always give in after that certain point as though they are a like cogs in a wheel following a script that is made to not appear like one. There is no real consequence and no hard lessons. It's just mindless fluff which makes kids in my view more likely to feel unfulfilled and become defiant, because (after all) nothing bad ever happens in Teletubies. The part of utmost joy to me was the vacuum cleaner Noo-Noo. This character reminded me of a pet, acting somewhat erratically, cleaning (perhaps eating) the messes made which always consisted of food. At the same time it acted in an intelligent and sentient manner, doing nice things for the teletubbies like giving them toys and blowing bubbles. This dichotomy between the narrator and Noo-Noo very subtly contrasts the differences between directing actions in a commanding way versus leading them in a fun playful way. The prevailing guidance is always that of a commanding tone which relates to broader things that young children can't conceptualize yet (time for this/that, etc, without any explanation as to "why"). This appears at the end of every episode (goodbye time; a subliminal reference to bed time as the sun sets and they isolate themselves from each other). This I believe is a reflection of society in a microcosmic way, and thus one of many points of conditioning that creates a stimulus response in society at large. I love Alex's apropos comparison between this show and MK-Ultra. The 'repetition' experiment he mentioned was called 'psychic driving' which in a nutshell is a form of programming/brainwashing aimed at changing behaviour.

One thing you forgot to mention. The Teletubbies’ memories must be partially wiped at the end of every day, contributing further to their brain rot. This explains why they can see the same random magical events (i.e. the animal parade, the creepy puppet in the house etc.) in dozens of episodes each and still have the same overly excited reaction.

I was obsessed with Teletubbies as a kid; I thought they were so adorable! Now their design scares the **** out of me.

I loved the Telletubbies as a kid. I had a Po plushie toy and it was my favourite thing. I don't remember NooNoo being so unsettling though, but that one episode with the bear and the lion, you all know the one, terrified me as a kid Also that little girl in the video exclaiming its raining: look, you're in Britain, you're really just going to have to get used to that

Bro I had a huge fear of this show when I was little so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one

I've never felt such fear for a bunch of grown adults in suits 😅

I loved this show so much I never got a creepy feeling from it lol so it’s interesting having this perspective

Classic British kids programme that should be marvelled. Nothing else was this popular! Can't see parents complaining when it shuts their kid up for hours on end. Kids need to be motivated by colours and visuals, they love repetition! Massive congrats to whoever thought of this idea, you look young enough to still watch it 😆 AND ITS BRITISH 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Wow, so cool to see the origin videos of the SpongeBob guy.

My childhood is already a mess so there's no point in changing it.

so basically the only reason i watched it was because my nanny told me she liked it. i HATED the show but watched it because i thought she liked it. turns out she hated it too, and only watched it because she thought i liked it lmfao

4:12 is very sus😂😂😂

0:11 Alex bale be like that teletubby looking kind of sus.

I bet no one ever realized how creepy this show was until they got older.

My mother never liked this show. She didnt want me to watch it as a toddler. Thank you mom, thank you for saving me.

Teletubbies really is just a kids show. Grown ups also watched it. Pretty good I honestly still love it. And I am 17

According to this video, this longtime children’s tv show has been cursed with evil

Heres a true story about how telletubies ended. There were speculations about tinky winky being homosexual since he was male and acted like a mother. The polish program of child protection said that children are not supposed to see homosexuality so then teletubbies was shut down when the investigation was finished and closed

He had to watch a children’s tv show for a single theory. I will forever respect him for it

1:25 Alex Bale is the man behind the slaughter!

Alex, I like how you put that disclaimer in the beginning of the video. But luckily for you, I never watched Teletubbies because they were and are creepy as hell.

Babies in heaven about to be born in 2000s be like: *i hope my parents dont show me tullytrubbies*

My mom wouldn’t allow me to watch them because she didn’t want me to baby babble for years and actually learn English without being confused by them. 😂 It’s a fair Dub Dub point.

To be perfectly honest, u made me realize that with the sun and the windmill and the speakers I think they're being monitored and controlled!

I had a nightmare once that I've never forgotten where the purple one (who for some reason creeps me out the most) was about 100 feet tall and was moving in slow-mo while taking giant strides pursuing me. I don't know why, but I had this strong feeling that I'd be his meal once he caught me. The dream concluded when at the last moment before he'd be able to get me, I just leaped into the air and flew away (Superman style) believing I'd escaped a horrifying death had he caught me. I then awoke, heart racing and in a cold sweat, totally relieved it was only a bad dream. The kicker here was that I'd actually never really watched a Teletubbies episode before. Just seen a picture of them somewhere. But I think that even at a subconscious level they really did freak me out for some reason, especially the purple one who later showed up in that shitty dream.

I'm 15 and I'm frickin TERRIFIED of these things... Like when I see one I run away as fast as i can. My 4 yr old cousin had them over at her house for her birthday party and I was sitting there with a baseball bat in my hands staring at them like come close and see wtf happens.. I hate them so much..

0:21 the beginning song, from the popular roblox game pm: 606 can be credited to Albatross - Topic: Don't Take the Purple Stuff just wanted to point this out, as many have been wondering the name of this song. While the beginning can sound sorta freaky, its a really good song. i would recommend checking it out

As a kid, I didn’t know this was satire, and it was amazing.

The way he just states his claims with 100% certainty makes me laugh uncontrollably. 1:16.

Only thing i learned from Teletubbies was how to share, be kind, and love one another despite their skin color

Me: YES HE FINALLY POSTED!! me: oh...

Can we pause and talk about how whenever it spins or it goes to do something or whatever they are like "oh no." Or "uh-oh!" And when it spins they always run off. Plus in Bubble Pictures I believe the episode was called, when it was projected the chosen Teletubby was like "oh no!" And just for a moment seemed miserable

I used to hate and love the Teletubbies at the same time when I was little.......And this demonic "vacuum cleaner" thing was creepy AF!!! (It still is.)

Why does everyone have a horror story about this show as a kid, I used to LOVE this show as a kid. I was obsessed with this show and as a child always uh a wanted to visit teletubby land😅 I even had good dreams that I visited teletubby land and played with the teletubbies for a day lol

I watched Teletubbies for a long number of years in my childhood up to the age of 13 believe it or not and I was actually a mature 13 year old.. I thought it was just cause they were cute but after watching this it makes a lot of sense to me .. I have always had trouble doing what’s right for me over doing something I had been told to do!! I never really rebelled and just did as I was told up until maybe a few years ago where I had a massive spiritual awakening broke out of the matrix and my whole perception on life changed… madness now I know why I don’t watch TV anymore 😇

Please kill me had me dying😂😂😂😂

YO did anybody hate that stupid vacuum cleaner swear that scared the crap of me as a kid and i know i'im not the only one who thinks that

OH HELL *PO* see what I did there?

its crazy to think that kids in this video are prbabbly older then me

watched Teletubbies in my childhood i felt that something is off about it but i didnt know what it was exactly and in the same time i felt fascinated to watch it , now that im checking it again it does really look so creepy, like a start of a horror movie

When I was 2 or 3 I used to watch this show all the time and I loved it. Now I'm a lot older and now this show scares the hell out of me.🤤😓😵

teletubbies..my childhood.. ITS A LIE, MY CHILDHOOD IS A LIE

I agree I’ve always wondered about the blue Teletubby

Tbh I was always easily spooked by some shows as a kid and teletubbies was one of those that was especially freaky to me. I mean, if nothing else, their designs looks like they could easily fit into some weird horror film.

When I was a baby I was so very scared and I cry watching teletubbies

Warning sign: I don't care. Lavender town theme plays* I AM OUTTA HERE!!!

I liked the teletubbies even though so many things gave me shivers. The vacuum cleaner, the speakers, the videos, and those scenes where you just saw animals walk forever and ever..

Looking back on this video made five years ago, Alex looks and sounds SO much younger. He changed so much in five years

I think I watched this show a small bit as a kid and remembered nothing but never realised it was this scary

The intro: click away now before you'r childhood gets ruined. Me: Well I got nothing to loose.

2:17 I even got annoyed back when I was in pre-school and loved watching Teletubbies 🤣 Every time when those clips end and the following up scene was the not the sun giggling I will knew that I will be forced to watch the same clip again 😂

I'm 36, a 90s kid. I actually remember watching this as a kid with my baby sister on my lap, on the floor in front the TV. Ps. I have 4 kids, I've never allowed them to watch this. Alot of kids used to have peach problems because they'd be so used to listening to the teletubbies that they would talk like them.

When I was a kid and Teletubbies was on, I used to feel rather strangely uncomfortable and change the channel at once. I have never watched it for more than 5 minutes continuously.

5:59 anyone else notice Tinky-Winky (Purple Teletubbie) in the background??

If you download the game Half Life from Steam and play multiplayer, there is a server that has "Teletubbie Civil War" in its name. The teams are Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laalaa, and Po. All the Teletubbies just killing each other. It's so ludicrous I love it. Don't know if it makes the show less creepy or more.

Teletubbies Is One Of My Childhood Show.. Even Though There Was Many Creepy Theory About This Teletubbies Stuff I Still Love Them In Fact This Creepy Theory About Teletubbies Makes Me Even More Love This Childhood Television Show

5:59 you can actually see the back of the purple teletubby

the vacuum in that show absolutely terrified me to no end

Their food was pretty much burnt toast with icing wasn’t it? But they made it look so tasty. Also, the music brought back memories of when I’d watch creepypasta

I am thankful that my baby cousin is growing up with Baby First and Disney Junior.

R.i.p Alex bale. The tellytubbies ate him and then the vacuum goes in his face💀

WHY DID IT TAKE ME A MINUTE TO REALISE THAT THIS WAS ALEX??

I freaking laughed sooooo hard when it slowed down and zoomed out at "Po"!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idk why but...Why does the speakers that come outta the ground look like...The early version of iPhone headphones to me?!?!?!

When ever Teletubbies is mentioned my mind almost immediately goes to that horror game Slendytubbies. I never played or watched anyone play it, it's just that my mind goes to that whenever I hear about Teletubbies.

At 2:01 that little child waving goodbye to the tubbies seems normal but he is actually sending a morse code signal to the viewers telling them to stop watching Teletubbies because if you do keep watching Teletubbies you end up like him and his friends. Brain washed. Once the scene ended with him and his friends. They killed them and used them as fuel for Noo Noo.

Bassicly summing this show up 4 colorized creatures doing what ever pleases a baby faced sun and obeying speakers that peak out the ground

The fact when he started getting serious the lavender town theme song comes on

Omg you look so young lol props for keeping the dream alive for so long!

When I was a kid that speaker thing scared the tear out of me, I'm still feeling kinda scared of that speaker even I'm now an adult 😰

When I 1st came to America I was confused on so many shows since I only had Soviet cartoons and also I 1st thought telatubbies were mutated bubble blowing things like teenage turtle ninjas

This video was made 6 years ago today. Happy birthday

5 year old me: DIS IS SO COOL I LUV IT SHHSHHDHHDJDHDSIEUDH NOW: WTF DIS IS CREEPY

"eventually all the teletubbies will become nonos" 💀💀💀💀

I always remember being creeped out by this show. I think I watched it a couple times and it seemed so weird and just odd that my little brain immediatly put on SpongeBob or Scooby-Doo.

I remember I watched one episode of Teletubbies when I was a kid and I was like "NOPE" Even as a kid, it always just gave me creepy vibes. I vaguely remember having a nightmare about too...

His legit frustration at Dipsy not answering the phone XD

I don't get why you would ever show this to a child, it's terrifying.

Teletubbies show: Fun, colorful, and friendly Teletubbies lore:

This really makes sense...I remembered Teletubbies when I was about 2 or 3, I clearly liked it but my parents banned me from watching it. When I turned 8, I stopped watching Teletubbies. At 3:00 A.M, the show got creepier. So when I went to sleep, I had nightmares about the Teletubbies. I liked the show when I was about 2 but when I turned 8, I hated Teletubbies but I noticed something. The Teletubbies were gonna watch the video, and when it was over, I saw the same thing.

Alex Bale : Warn's me | Me : my childhood has already been ruined because you brought up Teletubbies

Ruined my childhood. *Now I know. . .* Luckily my mom stopped me watching teletubbies!

I swear I remember when this show would come on TV when I was like 5 or 6, when the speakers came out of the ground I would run behind the couch because I thought they were watching me through the screen. I hated this show as a kid and I still am a little scared of it to this day.

Little did this UKpostsr know, he’d become the best Spongebob theorist

The fact that he used Lavender Town as bg music
