Defunctland: The Awful Wiggles Dark Ride 

Why am I suddenly thinking about the Electric Car of the Future featured in the Simpsons?

Kids and parents: (in Plankton's voice) WILL YOU JUST GO ALREADY?!!!!!

Like the long ass stair elevator from Fairly Odd Parents

For comparison, average walking speed is 3 miles per hour. This ride moved noticeably slower than even a leisurely walk.

@@ChloekabanOfficial i thought of that instantly before opening the replies 😭

The golden line of this vid

Rawest and hardest line in the vid

It feels like a shitpost

TOOT TOOT CHUGGA-

If I saw that dog I probably would’ve shat my heart out my @ss.

I was expecting a fnaf jumpscare.

No way! I wish more of our childhood shows would do this 😜

*GULP GULP CHUGGING CHUGGING BIG RED WINE*

I should've told my brother about this as he was the Wiggles fan of the two of us, and he wasn't even 18 at the time but I was.

There was a Wiggles cover band that did this in London, I think. They would play sets at bars and do pub crawls, all while singing songs from both the Wiggles and The Smiths. I believe they were called The Giggles? (I'm an American who saw it on the Internet like 10+ years ago)

That's so cute

I'm just imagining the opposite version where Greg Page wound up dying at some point during the Emma/Lachy/Simon tenure, but the videos were still using Greg.

There are productions and franchises out there with 12 times the budget of the Wiggles yet lack that same kind of consistency.

@FC Mania You're probably right but the Wiggles where not suffering from a lack of resources

It is kinda funny.

Very nice

I died in that moment. No pulse call the coroner. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

But isn't dry humor bad...?

i'm ashamed to admit, i watched a lot of wiggles.... never made the connection that they're australian. i thought they just talked Funny

Still, three year-old me said, "Shut up and take my money!"

​@@mightymeatymech kinda like Australians? :P

Same. No idea of their history

I mean, after reading dozens of E-mails of people graphically describing their sexual encounters mere feet away from Garfield the cat I think nothing can shake you.

"and now, its time to wiggle"

Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car

That song is the Australian equivalent to the It's a Small World song. How many people have been driven to madness by it? How many have killed because of it, because I am 100% sure it is a non-zero amount.

@@thesalvager3020 I mean, unless if you were mentally ill and see it as an evil way to torture your victims, then yeah, it would be hell for those who have mentally sane brains. For me, seeing how this can be torture, well, no different from what I've seen with the SAW franchise, and horror movies that repeat the same line as if you're being brainwashed and indoctrinated by the franchise's theme song itself.

Hehe, heh, heh. Damn it they know

nah that would still be cool

5 Minutes In The Big Red Car Ride: a lil' horror game about a children's show

Totally ... because you know there is someone going... yup that's right ...

As an American who had the yellow or purple wiggle dude as a sort of rag doll but also came with a voice box, i wish I still had it to see what it’s value is.

I listen to the wiggles for the lore…

I'm going to start a wiki just so that next time someone starts talking to me about Lovecraft or Dark Souls lore I can go on a 38 minute rant about Wiggles lore and link them to it

Jeff (purple og wiggle) has the best origin story. The others were childhood teaching students and for their final assignment did children's songs. They needed more band members and I think it was Anthony and Jeff were in a band prior. They called Jeff up and asked if he fancied a short gig, and Jeff replied sure how long do you need me for ... and that was something like 15 years he did it for.

A far better ending then the three stooges

My dad used to tell me that he was the blue wiggle when I was a kid. I used to brag about it until I found out he was messing with me lol.

@@FairieSnuffy By the way, the reason Jeff had the character trait of falling asleep constantly was because he felt he was shy around children.

they've done reunion concerts for adults in recent years with the original members, they truly just want to make people happy and it's so sweet

And the blue wiggle who will more than likely replace him one day: his own daughter!

​@@bagofgroceriesI'm very curious what percent of the company each of the OG Wiggles have control of, and then the new members, and like Anthony's daughter for example.

The original wiggles lineup still tours occasionally, hilariously doing mostly 18+ pub shows for adults who grew up with the wiggles. Murray is also still very present in the Australian music scene, and does a lot of TV and radio and even occasionally pops up at music festivals to play guitar with popular rock and punk bands. They actually topped a countdown a few years ago that one of our very popular major radio station does where listeners vote for the best song of the year for covering a Tame Impala song. It cannot be understated how massive the wiggles were and still are in Australia, they’re basically royalty, and I think a big part of that is the fact that they all just seem to be really nice people who love music and care about kids. I think it’s that passion and sincerity that’s always kept them so beloved, in the same way we loved Steve Irwin. I’m not a patriotic person, but I’ll be patriotic about the wiggles god damnit.

@@WAMMO678 excellent comment!!!! I stopped watching many years ago when my kids "aged out", but now I'm enjoying going back and watching every video I can find.

Well, it was the timing of the lights that was the problem, not the maintenance of the lights themselves. Still, the accident would have been prevented with better maintenance of the ride and/or investment into a system to automatically monitor the ride and shut it down if the water level dropped too much.

Shoot, I forgot about that! What year did the accident happen again? Edit: Whoops, didn't realise it was mentioned in the video. I could have sworn it was 3rd quarter of 2016 as I remember seeing a big ride closed during that time, but I could be confusing Dreamworld with Seaworld.

Ok this aside, no disrespect to the victims, this is truly an awful tragedy but only 1 fatal accident in multiple decades is like... really good numbers compared to like, almost everything in the world. It reminds me of how we are so terrified of sharks who only kill 5 humans per year on the planet, meanwhile humans kill hundreds of thousands of humans.

Well I work at a huge themepark. And lights is not something they care about. They rather focus on keeping the big rides up to date. And if the small ones work okeyish and are safe they see that as enough. Lights, broken speakers, needing a repaint, small disfunctions on the show elements are not something they care about.

​@@RadioactiveBluePlatypuspi

Yesss, it was hilarious.

It was so worth it though. It's so fucking funny.

unfortunately now i have the damn song stuck in my head

I'm not sure if Kevin's motivation was "I must accurately convey the experience of this ride" as he goes back to his research notes or "you will ache as I have ached" as his lower eyelid twitches

I live for the dry humor of this channel so much. It's punchy without feeling depressing or bleak.

Sounds to me like if you can’t handle the wiggling get out of the pit 😂

i notice that too.

Everytime I heard "Wiggles Lore" I chuckled.

I lost it at 'why's she looking at me like that'...

What a silly reason to not take your two year old to an event. Why take them anywhere then?!

Plus you never know what's gonna be their first long-term memory... could be 2 or younger :)

@@Ayverie4 you are absolutely right! I stopped taking other people’s advice very early on in my parenting years and I’m so glad I did!!

My dad did the same with me decades ago

The Moment I realized Defunctland might be screwing with us.

For some reason I got really cracked up when he said ""The attraction received no big send off, no final rides, not even a true goodbye. Which is a shame, because the Wiggles have four different songs about saying goodbye."

Saw your name and did a double take so hard I nearly broke my neck 😂🤝

That gave me a true laugh out loud. I'm glad the comment section is giving this line the recognition it deserves.

This video is the reason I've been listening to that song on a loop for weeks . . . At least it's a fun song.

It was daily, cold, dark, routine, morning hell before driving them 25 miles in -5 F and snow to their pre-school each morning. They are now both finishing college and I still have a love/hate relationship with, ‘The Wiggles.’

I wonder how my father felt when I decided to loop Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy a lot as a kid XDD (Im from the US and surprisingly despite being a kid when the New England Wiggles World was put in, never went there lol)

That door looks like it smokes children

it the stuff of nightmares

It makes me feel funny 😳

I honestly thought that was just for decoration, and honestly thank god I wouldn't wanna be the people who knew it was sentient

Door: "ya like jazz?"

Was about to point this out, it's like its very own self contained YTP

This is only the second reply?

Don’t you mean “Toot Tooot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red”?

@@taylorberry1735 Don’t you mean “Toot Tooot, Chu-”?

Because if there’s any song to associate with the slow decline of the attraction or even a decent horror experience, it’s that old song “Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car”.

I fondly remember sitting on the floor helping my three month old (now 20 year old) move like an emu. Good times.

Learned more about the Wiggles than I care to admit. I mean, I know of the group and the show. Yet, well, when they came around. I was a teen and actively tried to avoid such childish stuff as if it were a plague. In hindsight, thank God I did. @.@ I have the Caillou song burned into my brain. Alongside PJ Masks theme. And does Baby Shark count? No? Fair enough. And this is as an "old" ass adult, lol. Then, again, I did watch a lot of Blue's Clues, but that show was fire back in the day.

it's kind of bizarre if you've never heard of the wiggles (like me).

honorable mention for me would be “Freedomland is where Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty made Yankee Doodle Dandy”

It’s up there with “A powerful rat named Charles Entertainment Cheese”

Annoying to the parents perhaps but the ride wasn't made for them. I'm sure the kids loved that it played the Wiggles' iconic song throughout the ride

@@beefax chuga chuga big red car

@@flyaround312 I did, lol. It went to garbage (along with the band itself) when the OG’s left…

Fun fact: a couple years later when Emma (the third yellow wiggle and the first girl wiggle) had to sit out on of their tours due to her endometriosis they played this video at the beginning of every show letting the kids know she wasn’t going to be there cause she wasn’t feeling well and she even when on the news to talk about her endometriosis and spread awareness about it. The wiggle are just really fucking great.

Probably more for the parents than the kids. The Wiggles were _big_ in Aus. My Mum even reported that there were multiple times when I was a kid that she'd find herself accidentally still listening to the Wiggle's cassette tape after she'd already dropped me off at daycare. And she wasn't the only one! If there'd been no comment, the parents would have been at a loss, particularly as to what to say to their kids when their favourite band changed members!

Oh crap, it happened on stage?? Geez that must have been terrifying for everyone involved- Greg himself, the other Wiggles, the audience and the stagehands alike. Hope he's doing okay now.

@@gl1tchygreml1n Unless there was another incident I wasn't aware of, he actually collapsed backstage. But his microphone was still on and the crowd could hear him struggling for breath. The other Wiggles had to go out on stage, tell the crowd that Greg was feeling unwell but would be okay (they didn't know he would be, he was still being treated by a first aider) and continue to sing and dance with happy faces. Hardcore doesn't even begin to describe it!

​@@3rdalbumThe show must go on isn't just Freddy Mercury's last hurrah. It's a mantra that any performer worth their salt will embody. If he was actually physically capable of going back out, I can guarantee Greg would have danced and sang on that stage before finally relenting to medical care.

I just knew about them for fringe pop culture but seeing them dancing while being 60 years old is really inspiring

Yeah like who said you could be out of uniform

@@Shoulderpads-mcgee It’s basically a part of their skin now.

the uniforms are actually living tissue that grows from your skin when you wiggle hard enough.

@@mrlaz9011 when a wiggle retires and passes the mantle down, the shake hands and the shirt transfers to the new wiggle like venom

Can you explain to me how this video is in any way an abnormal upload for the channel? Isn't literally every Defunctland video about obscure, somewhat bizarre, theme park history? How is this video any different?

@@HOTD108_ why are you getting mad at a random comment over something so insignificant?

@@HOTD108_ it was a joke, friend

Jokes are supposed to have some basis in reality such as to critique or satirize it. This joke does neither. The punchline is just silly lyrics in a silly font. Maybe you could call it a absurdist humor as it juxtaposes the idea of a "normal episode" with silly children's song lyrics. I assert that this kind of humor is already par for the course for Defunctland making this indeed already a normal episode and the joke baseless.

@@Jedimattc Report them, don't reply to them, I know it's for a "joke" but still. Bots will be bots.

I don't know how it would be "on brand" but okay. It is a children's show I know, but what are you getting at? Is there a darker side to The Wiggles than what is on the surface? Could this be something worth investigating like say a channel called, Blameitonjorge, or say Night Mind even? That'd be interesting and I would watch it too. I saw the Wiggles in the same era, I remember when they replaced some of the crew, I stopped watching it after that and also, I was well passed moving on then as I was a bit older anyways. I remember the songs but only one comes to mind every time I think back, Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy. That was also a backmasking era as well, "Stairway to Heaven", "Fruit Salad" and many many more like "Another one Bites the Dust" and Ozzy's "Iron Man." I was but a wee lad back then I am a fully grown adult now exploring the AOL internet at the time what a waste of time that was, Dial up. Jeeze was it utter trash. I know I say "lad" and Bri'ish terms at times THAT is just to keep things vague and ambiguous. Remember anyone can be anyone on the internet or over the phone like in the movie, "Boiler Room."

@@iamspotpanda I usually hate dry emotionless straight reading style voiceovers on RU-vid videos (Chills, Behind the Meme, etc), but Kevin’s work is the one major exception. It makes the occasional jokes snuck in hit so much harder

@Bigga Nigga *insert the possibly-misattributed Miyamoto quote here*

Hulk Hogan.

I totally agree! I took my son when he was two and it was one of the best I’ve ever seen-worth every penny!!

i went to a few wiggles concerts with the og crew as a toddler before they switched over to the group with emma. i remember loving every second of it

Toot toot right into your nightmares!

Not just avoiding physical contact but also so their hands were always completely visible in pictures so no one could accuse them of secretly touching outside of frame.

That's really smart of them. It apparently didn't stop people though.

I honestly find it sad that anyone who is remotely famous basically has to avoid hugging or putting their arms around fans, all because so many people have either been wrongly accused of assault or have actually assaulted someone. It sucks to have that fear, both for the celeb and their fans.

My fav Wiggles story is how they were boarding a plane and the airline had printed Jeff's last name as Fart and not Fatt. When they were called up for boarding the agent read out their names "Mr Cook, Mr Page, Mr Field, Mr... Jeff." and Jeff was all "Mr what? Mr what?" and the agent couldn't say it. He apparently has the boarding pass framed in his house.

I know I wouldn't want to spend all day touching random germy children whose boundaries I'm not familiar with lol. Feels weird to frame this action as a means to "avoid backlash" when there are a host of good reasons not to put your hands on strangers that don't amount to "I need to cover my ass"

Yes! Could not agree more. You hit the nail on the head with this bit of analysis.

The silence of the dog sliding down the slide, only to be interrupted by the car song had me rolling.

kevin has always been able to do such extremely subtle moments of humor that still end up being absurdly funny

My favorite defunctland series is the Jim Henson mini documentaries. They are so well put together and just so good. I couldn’t get enough when I watched them last year. I cried so much at the end😭

I would've started crying

@@PenguinLord10 I think it’s called poppy playtime but I really relate to the tone of this comment, honestly I am surprised I even remembered what it was called

I feel like it's a surprisingly common theme for punk bands! The Aquabats are the people who made Yo Gabba Gabba, which had bands including JImmy Eat World and My Chemical Romance as guests. They Might Be Giants doesn't *really* count as punk but they only just separated their spotify profiles so you don't have them on shuffle going from the FLOOD album to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themesong LOL

@@CoolattasLab The Aquabats had their own show that I used to watch when I was younger. I was really surprised to learn that they were a real band lol

@@ToraVanguard2004 Same! I only learnt they were a real band about a month ago. I loved their show when I was in primary school.

Though it does feel a touch ironic that a band that followed in the steps of Midnight Oil, a band who had a song about the destruction of SE Queensland heritage in a song titled "Dreamworld", went on to have a ride there.

Oh good gracious. At the height of Wigglemania, their concerts were respectable-budget affairs even by the standards of adult rock concerts. They had a supporting cast of a couple dozen backup dancers, acrobats, and aerialists ... Murray was rigged to wires that lifted him up into the air during "Play Your Guitar With Murray", others flew during "Eagle Rock", and they had an entire aerial rig that supported at least 4, maybe more, acrobats above the stage. They've played Madison Square Garden and sold it out. It was a great time to be a Wiggles fan, because it was just crazy that a kids' musical group was that successful. When I moved to Australia, I got to learn that they're kind of embedded in the national consciousness because they've been around for like TWO generations of kids now, and most people think they're cool. When they had the big line-up change after the 3 originals retired, the new crew played small venues like a local shopping mall, a tiny pavilion at the state fair, and a city Apple Store to get used to performing. Their cover of a pop song actually was the number 1 voted song of the "Top 100" one year recently.

@@randomcommenterfromdownund8949 The best thing is that the original Wiggles are still performing and packing out arenas and festivals for audiences that grew up with them.

Yeah, I was never really into them as a kid, but I used to love Bananas in Pajamas and I had a plushie of one of them that would play their theme song when you squeezed his hand.

Kevin is definitely trying to put the “fun” in “Defunctland” and I am absolutely here for it.

It's like if Anakin Skywalker turned to the Dark Side because the beans in the Jedi Temple cafeteria were always too cold because Council were cheapskates and contracted the catering out to the lowest bidder.

To be fair that does sound like a really bad trip and realizing that other people have no other option either is pretty reasonable

"And then God told me to make it on the Gold Coast"
