'''''Yo Gabba Gabba!''''' is a kids' show on Nick Jr. with a whole lot of content that doesn't exactly seem oriented towards kids. It was co-created and is written by Christian Jacobs, also known as MC Bat Commander of [[The Aquabats!]], and directed by Matt Chapman, co-creator of ''[[
Each episode focuses on [[Excited Kids' Show Host|DJ Lance Rock]]'s magical toys; Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex; playing together and learning new things. Their adventures are loosely connected by a single theme, and are separated by [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made

At the end of the episode, he decides to use a contact lens instead because the glasses keep falling off his face, so he looks [[Status Quo Is God|no different than he did before]].
* [[Call Back]] / [[Continuity Nod]]: Several songs are reused or at least referenced in later episodes, and minor characters such as the Spooky Toast continue to get cameos throughout the series.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Muno, a huge fanged cyclops with a friendly and overly enthusiastic personality. Also, DJ Lance, who is quite literally a giant next to the main cast.
