\"null\"So have you seen Yo Gabba Gabba yet? If not this is some must see TV for toddlers and hipsters alike. Here are some excerpts from the Yo Gabba Gabba wiki<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nYo Gabba Gabba! is a children’s television series currently airing on the Nick Jr. and Noggin cable networks in the United States and the Nick Jr. networks in the United Kingdom and Australia. [It was] created by Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here is a quote from the Christian Jacobs wiki<\/a> (so you can see why I am posting on this here instead of somewhere else like, say, Kulturblog<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Christian Richards Jacobs (born January 11, 1972 in Rexburg, Idaho) is an American musician, voice actor, and former child actor. Jacobs has been the lead singer of The Aquabats since the band formed in 1994 and is known by the stage name The MC Bat Commander, often abbreviated as MCBC. He is also the co-creator of the Nick Jr. children’s television series Yo Gabba Gabba!. <\/p>\n

For his role in The Aquabats he uses a marker to draw a mustache on his upper lip and black out one of his front teeth. He also performs various stunts on stage, including backflips, and spitting fire…<\/p>\n

Jacobs is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a two-year mission in Japan. Part of the time, his assignment was that of assistant to the Mission President. He is the great-grandson of prominent Mormon leader LeGrand Richards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyhow, it was pretty well known that The Aquabats consisted (at least initially) of a bunch of Mormons but I didn’t realize Yo Gabba Gabba was the creation of The Bat Commander himself until I checked the wiki a few weeks back.<\/p>\n

This show entertains me to no end. And my four year old daughter likes it too. What more could you ask? Here are a few clips from the official site for your viewing pleasure:<\/p>\n
