Oobi episode talk: Uma Bathroom!

My episode guide is still the most popular page on the blog, so I've decided to do something related: Oobi episode talk! I'll be talking about the episodes from the perspective of a seasoned "Oobi mom." I've seen every episode at least 3 or 4 times, so I've noticed a lot of little tidbits about them.

First up is "Uma Bathroom," one of the funniest episodes of the whole show, and probably one of the weirdest to look at out of context.

The Story: After an enjoyable day of playing with Oobi and Kako in the mud, Uma objects to taking a bath but soon learns that bath time can be fun when you add a dance and game to bathroom activities.

Memorable Moment: Uma is funny throughout the whole thing, but she gets some hilarious lines in one of the 'real kids' segments. "Look Zoe! Little toilet! Zoe use toilet?" Zoe:"Yes." Uma: "WHAT KINDA TOILET?" (Zoe looks baffled) Uma: "Grown-up toilet?" Zoe: "Child toilet." Uma: "Uma like FLUSH toilet." (Does impression of toilet flushing.) Zoe (fascinated): "Yeah, and the water goes around and down, like a waterfall or something."

Random Fact: Near the sink, there are framed photos of Grampu and the kids. Look closely-- they have their old eyes from the early Oobi Shorts! So those photos must have been taken back in 1999 when the show was first starting out. A callback that most people would probably miss.
