Thing I Learned From Watching The Backyardigans

I'm surprised no one's posted a thread like this yet. Here are just a few nuggets of wisdom taken from this great show grouped by episode (they WILL be funny):

Viking Voyage

1). Vikings may be tough, but, if confronted by an "Extra Extra Tough" mermaid, they'll emasculate at the drop of a viking helmet.

2). Mermaids can tip a viking ship with one finger.

Secret Mission

1.) If confronted with stationary horizontal laser beams, limbo.

2.) Maple syrup makes an EXCELLENT glue!

Surfs Up!

1.) Even if you know precisely what you're looking for, you're bound to get misdirected.

2.) Case in point, if you see someone who calls himself/herself "the mystery lifeguard", DON'T ask him/her for directions!

International Super Spy

1). If you're an International Super Spy, make sure to keep a close eye on your boss, otherwise he/she WILL get captured!

2). On the other hand, if you're the equipment specialist and you have to deliver a jetpack to the villian's/villianesse's lair, dressing up as a pizza delivery person is NOT a good idea!

Imto the Deep

1). The Mermaid Freakout may be effective at scaring off curious fish, but it does NOTHING to deter inquisitive undersea explorers!

2). It takes two mermaids - using only their left hands - to hoist a submarine.

A Giant Problem

If you're a magician and you come accross a giant, get to know him/her first; he/she may just want to play tag.

The Yeti

1). Raisins are NOT "yeti droppings"!

2). Snow angels are NOT "yeti markings"!

3). If you know ANYTHING about the yeti, DON'T say he has "sweaty hairy hands"; you WILL be wrong!

4). If you see the yeti and he pulls up two handfulls of snow... RUN!!!!!!!

(I only know about this last episode because I saw the previews and read about it on Tv.com)

Tale of the Mighty Knights

1). If you're a knight and have been ordered by the king to watch his dragon egg, WATCH IT CLOSELY; otherwise, it WILL run away!

2). If you see a girl who calls herself "the flighty fairy", DON'T MESS WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!

3). If you're traveling with a goblin, make sure to watch your helmet.

4). Goblins are REALLY GOOD at Rock Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all I can think of for now. Anyone else have any "advice"?

Thought I'd add my 2 cents :)

Multiple episodes

Simply saying "What we need is..." will immediately conjure up the aforementioned necessary items (kayaks, a shovel, etc.). This will also give Tyrone a reason to say "Well, THAT certainly is convenient."

Save the Day

If Tasha wants to catch fish, she will, of course, choose to fish in the most dangerous locations on the map.

Race Around the World

Despite the miniscule size of Austin's emergency pack, it will inevitably contain all necessary items to ensure that he is, in fact, PREPARED ! This includes an extendable hook, because, as we all know, a hook has SO many uses !

Thing I learned from watching The Backyardigans.

It's..a show about kids who make believe in their backyard so it can be assumed that all the "advice" and stuff they use for stuff you couldn't actually use (maple syrup for glue) is make believe too! I used to play like this in my own backyard with my cousins. When it comes to show about imaginations, which I encourage, this is the best one on.

"Get me some pie!"
