I get this with Tuberculosis, maaklaaks and Macadamia 😄 Tuberculosis was on Jeopardy last night so I linked this video to my uploads and in a community post. Thank u for making life FUN 🙂
like 7 years ago, one of my high school teachers played this in class with no context and i’ve never forgot about it. me and my best friend still quote this after college
This guy is a legend. Still responding to comments after 13 years. I’d wager that this was one of the very first videos I ever watched on TH-cam when the platform was new. Thanks for the blast from the past, my dude.
I have decided not to reply to comments anymore and this will be the first one that I won't reply to. So you won't get a reply from me. Nope. No replies. ;) Thanks for watching!
I just got a robo call which gave me the option of leaving a message on my state representative's answering machine. I happened to have this vid playing at the time. Guess what I did.
I showed this to a university class full of future English teachers as we began a unit on methods for teaching vocabulary. Theorists tell us to get students excited about language (words). If this doesn't do it, nothing will! My future teachers cracked up--and then filled the board with other "fun" words! Thank you for sharing this.
I have co-workers with daily dialogue that sounds like this. "I noticed you aren't filing any TPS reports today, John." My shoes got wet this morning stepping into a puddle and I said I could've used some galoshes, which brought me back to this classic.
It’s 10 years today since I lost a very dear, sweet, and funny friend. This was his favourite special video to share with people at exactly the right moment! I’m so glad the video’s still up, and I can come and have a giggle with him when I need to ❤️
Omg I thought I dreamt this. This video is a core memory for me... srsly did not realize it's already been 17 years... Also explains so much. My sis and I have communicated by saying random words like this and we both somehow understand each other. It all makes sense nowwwwwww
If you check out the credits you'll notice that it says the audio was created by The Vestibules and I don't hide that fact. If you search "Bulbous Bouffant" in TH-cam, you'll find a TON of other people who have used this very same audio. Actually, you probably see some of those in the bar on the left. In addition, I actually contacted The Vestibules and got official permission from them to create the video in the first place.
@@MadMetalhead After I made the video I sent it to them and I don't think they said much. Probably something like "Good job!" If they said anything I think it was pretty simple. I know someone else could've done a better job with the animation (it's not even technically finished) but I guess I was just the first! ;)
16 years later and I'm still coming back to this video. I've always loved that the initial character is a basic puppet, the second is a rough cartoon outline and the third is an accurate human, yet they all get silly in the end!
This lives rent free in my head, and pops up at the most random times. Currently, I'm waiting for a bus. And I so badly want to ask the person next to me if they're waiting for the bus. In a perfect world, and my delusional mind, they would start singing this song with me.
Oh, please do this some day. I'm sure most people would be confused by the question but if you ask enough people, you might find that special person who gets the joke. Let me know! :)
Oh man, I remember hearing this on Dr Demento way back in the day. My nerdy ass friends and I used to practice the skit and we performed it for random kids at recess. I was the booming voice at the end that said shit like TUBERCULOSIS. Good times.
That's awesome! I didn't hear it until the anniversary collection it was on (25th?) because I wasn't a regular listener of the radio show but it clicked so hard with me immediately. I would've fit right in with your nerdy friends. ;)
Macadamiaaaa. I cannot tell you how many laughs this video has brought to myself and countless others who've I've shared this with. I've been watching it for YEARS. THANK YOU!!
Thanks for bringing this back into my life. And love the animation! When I was in 5th or 6th grade i would sometimes record Dr. Demento, which came on Sunday nights @ 10:30. I'd hit record, then fall asleep listening to that crackpot, then listen to the rest on my Walkman over the week's bus rides and lunch lines. This skit was important to me as high art, which I forced friends to try and reproduce with me for years and years... to this day when we get together.
That's awesome. I've heard o MANY people tape recording his show. I actually borrowed some tapes in HS from an older person and that's how I learned about "The 30 Point Buck" which I once had totally memorized. I'm very glad you forced your friends to listen to this sketch and that I was able to bring this back into your life. ;)
Heard this ages forever ago idr where but it always pop's into my head every now and then. Then this just pops up in my feed. Today is the best day ever of this week!

@@AnnieGitchYerGun It was posted half your life ago! :) Thanks for checking it out. If you happen to have it handy, would you mind sharing the Imgur link with me? Thanks!
This video is deeply ingrained in my memory. I remember watching with my whole family on our TV, multiple times over, when I was really little. We only watched it the one day, but I don't think that I could ever forget it
This was such an iconic part of my childhood. I just thought of it randomly and remembered BULbous BOUffant MACADeMiA GAZebo TUBERCULOSIS 😂😂 What a masterpiece. Had to watch it again
My friends had this memorized in high school 16 years ago. The other day I was waiting for the bus with my neighbor and it bubbled up through my subconscious like a gelatinous jellyfish the cycle is complete
I haven't watched this video in YEARS but tonight someone brought up gazebos and it awoke this deep memory from the back of my mind and I had to come find this video and rewatch it 👌
my family has been watching this video for about 14 years now, any time we need a cheer up. even now, just saying "beluuuga" cracks us all up. i still show it to people now. thank you for the years of laughter
Somehow and for no apparent reason, this popped into my head the other day just as I was going to bed. I started laughing to myself and didn't tell the wife. How could I? Still I had to look it up this morning
I literally just found this again after years! I used to have a teacher who gave use new vocab words every week and he used this video for our new vocab one week! To this day I still remember how about 20 middle schoolers absolutely died laughing at the word tuberculosis all while my teacher called us sociopaths 🤣
I have been listening to this for years and anytime someone says a random word this plays through my head and never stops. I love it so much. My childhood right here.
I've been showing your animated version of this classic since mid 2010's to my AP Language and Composition students - and I save it until the class before their 3 hour AP exam for a special "if your mind goes blank" strategy about rhetorical analysis. Credit to the clever and wise teacher at an AP conference in 2008 (Allegheny College) for suggesting this. Mr. Parks, thank you so much for all those hours crafting the animation and for posting this, too. It's fun for me and my students and our year wouldn't be the same without it.
Thank you for the kind words! I wish it were higher quality and finished, but I'm thrilled that people are still watching it regularly. Keep up the good work teaching the youngin's!
THE Geography teacher here ~ great content, good laughs. I integrate it into my Canada unit for kids to identify all things that could be found there 😂 score one for Beluga whales!
This is so very old, from the far reaches of the First Era of the Internet of Things. It holds in its moments the keys into a former age, to the understanding of the core of humor. This, my friends, this is the essence of early 21st century comedy. Be that as it may, this relic has, unfortunately, never seen the popularity it deserves. May it rest in honor, to be referenced by niche friend groups for years to come. Not fading from our memories, and preserved in the unending archives of the ever-growing world wide web.
I would be honored if it was inducted into "The Museum of the First Era of the Internet of Things", and I'm sure The Vestibules would too. You clearly have good taste.
Thanks! I can't even remember if I did that on purpose or not. I sort of had that look in my head and I found a puppet that was pretty close. It may not have been conscious but the muppets definitely influenced me from childhood so I'm sure there's a connection there.
@@M0thMan007 I may not be making stuff like this these days, but I'm still alive and trying to create whatever I can! In my free time, I'm mostly working on 3 podcasts.
i just randomly found this and its, i gotta honestly say one of the best videos out there. My first play was basically me skipping a bunch and watching it very quickly. However later that day i just couldn't get it out of my head. It wasnt in my youtube or browser history so couldnt even find it again for a few minutes and i was getting worried. but luckily i did and now i cant stay away. MUKLUK!
@@spejampar oh im a bit too old for it now. but i know if i were to have found this 10 years ago it would definitely have become a thing with my friends and I. Many quotes indeed. side note; i must have watched this video atleast 10 times now. I briefly checked out other content and the original of this but your animation makes the entire thing.
@@Izziana You're never too old for silly words! (But I know what you mean) Thanks for watching so much and thanks for saying that my animation makes it. I know the audio is the best part, but it's nice to hear that people like the visuals too (even though the quality is crappy).
First time I heard this I was living with 2 visually impaired friends that were listening to this plus lots of Dr Demento and Bob Rivers stuff. Good old days I am glad I found this again. I hope they are doing well now missed them ever since I moved away.
A large group of people started quoting this video on Facebook today and it drove me crazy! So that's how I ended up here. This video drives me crazy too XD
Blubber. Yes, the Eskimos eat the blubber. Yes and the blubber comes from different types of whales. What hairstyle is that? It's a Bulbous Bouffant. Oh man, this is so flippin hilarious xD
I don't understand how this only has 1 million views. Not just in that it deserves more views, more so that it genuinely doesn't make sense to only be 1 million. I learned about this living in Nebraska in 2011, and it seemed decently popular then. Now 13 years later I've met multiple people who don't know each other in the Pacific Northwest who recognize my random references to this. How can a video make such a widespread impression over such a long time and not have more views??
I blame the fact that there's SOOOOO much media out there, it just gets buried. And my podcast (and other things I want to do) are not helping that situation. ;) But thank you for the support and the kind words! Let's shoot for 10 Billion!
Hm, you know, I think there was another version also that was a bit shorter, so maybe that version had millions of views and this new one has only 1 million?
For a simple short cartoon, you did a really good job. The differences in the three characters. I'm an English major and that was interesting for my ears. Thank you for your creation.
Thank you for the kind words! I can only take credit for the visual because the audio was done by a sketch comedy group years ago, which is obviously the best part of the video. I just did my visual interpretation of it with the skills I had 11 years ago.
This vid always delivers great joy! Little side note (probably repeating myself): I love how the first guy is clearly a Muppet (or a very off-kilter, oddly voiced, dressed, and made-up person, anyhow), and the second guy looks "normal" (or cartoon-normal, at least), but after he has given in to the fun and the 3rd guy arrives, HE looks so normal (and full size) that fellow #2 is revealed as the puppet he is. As so many others have said, I LOVE this video! Thanks for making (and posting) it!
I think the content you make is pretty good, I especially like the video you made on female mercys, you should consider making more content like that (:
Heard this first when I bought a Dr. Demento CD because it had a couple Weird Al's songs on it! But having heard this, it's become an instinct classic! I love it when someone asks me a closed ended questions, I respond Nooo, the Eskimos! Or a BaluGA whale! Those enlightened by this recording catch it instantly, others just look at me and walk away w a pained, strained look on their face! I've even memorized this with my daughters, and make for a fun car ride as we roll along saying/ singing mukluks/placebo/blubber / blubber/blubber/ shindig
Same situation for me! I found the 20th anniversary collection on cassette and had to get it because I was already a fan of Weird Al so of course I'm going to love more funny music! And I did. I was with my mom and when popped it in the tape player when we got in the car. "Delicious" played and it was kind of awkward being with my mom. 😆 I'm glad you and your daughters have bonded over this nonsense. Woohoo!
My toddler children got stuck on the word "stupid" because they heard it and think it sounds funny. I'm glad this is still here so I can use it to redirect their attention.
Holy crap. Thanks! Seeing your notification on my phone was how I found out. It doesn't really affect anything for me since I still can't monetize my videos, but it is absolutely a momentous occasion. Feel free to celebrate for me in your own way! Haha! ;)
Spencer, True enough I was introduced to Bulbous Buffont while on a scuba diving vacation in the Caribbean. One of our fellow divers was a ten year old girl who had the whole thing memorized. By the end of a week together on the dive boat, all of us adults were winging it and singing along....and adding verses of our own. Carry on! Spencer! Carry on! I have always had a certain appreciation for sing-song-words.... like ankylosing spondilitis, idiopathic telangectasia and endoplasmic reticulum.
A few minutes ago, someone said "Gazebo," so it was - of course - my pride and duty to introduce them to this masterpiece.
you did your duty. thank you.

Glad you were able to find it again! Welcome to the club and invite everyone you know! ;)
@@spejampar oh im a bit too old for it now. but i know if i were to have found this 10 years ago it would definitely have become a thing with my friends and I. Many quotes indeed. side note; i must have watched this video atleast 10 times now. I briefly checked out other content and the original of this but your animation makes the entire thing.
@@Izziana You're never too old for silly words! (But I know what you mean)
Thanks for watching so much and thanks for saying that my animation makes it. I know the audio is the best part, but it's nice to hear that people like the visuals too (even though the quality is crappy).
First time I heard this I was living with 2 visually impaired friends that were listening to this plus lots of Dr Demento and Bob Rivers stuff. Good old days I am glad I found this again. I hope they are doing well now missed them ever since I moved away.
Glad you found it!
A large group of people started quoting this video on Facebook today and it drove me crazy! So that's how I ended up here. This video drives me crazy too XD
I saw this when it first came out and it just now suddenly shot into my memory randomly when I heard the word buffont.
I hope you'll come back in another 14 years or so. :)
GALOSHES! Just showed my 3 year old this masterpiece.
Good parenting!
My partner mentioned making mukluks and it turned out he'd only heard this up to blubber or so, not the full version. His delight made my year.
His delight makes my year too! Is he making mukluks by hand? Or has he created a cocktail called "mukluk"? ;)
Blubber.
Yes, the Eskimos eat the blubber.
Yes
and the blubber comes from different types of whales.
What hairstyle is that?
It's a Bulbous Bouffant.
Oh man, this is so flippin hilarious xD
I don't understand how this only has 1 million views. Not just in that it deserves more views, more so that it genuinely doesn't make sense to only be 1 million. I learned about this living in Nebraska in 2011, and it seemed decently popular then. Now 13 years later I've met multiple people who don't know each other in the Pacific Northwest who recognize my random references to this. How can a video make such a widespread impression over such a long time and not have more views??
I blame the fact that there's SOOOOO much media out there, it just gets buried. And my podcast (and other things I want to do) are not helping that situation. ;)
But thank you for the support and the kind words! Let's shoot for 10 Billion!
Hm, you know, I think there was another version also that was a bit shorter, so maybe that version had millions of views and this new one has only 1 million?
@@kristendavenport6978 I know there was another version on YT before mine, but I think it had less than 1M views. It might have even been taken down!
Oh man I haven't seen this since I was a kid but its lived rent free in my head for years. Thank you.
May it live rent free for the rest of eternity!
I haven’t seen this in at least 10 years. What a perfect video to rediscover at 2:45am
It's 3 35 am for me lol
I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t know this jem exists
You and be both. Feel free to give a little share so they can join the cool kids. ;)

"HULLABALOOOOO"
still gets me everytime
My 6th grade English teacher showed my class this video and it's lingered in my the back of my head for all these years.
I hope it lingers forever.
For a simple short cartoon, you did a really good job. The differences in the three characters. I'm an English major and that was interesting for my ears. Thank you for your creation.
Thank you for the kind words! I can only take credit for the visual because the audio was done by a sketch comedy group years ago, which is obviously the best part of the video. I just did my visual interpretation of it with the skills I had 11 years ago.
This is one of the most pleasant videos on TH-cam.
Pleasant is my middle name. And you have a great first name.
This vid always delivers great joy! Little side note (probably repeating myself): I love how the first guy is clearly a Muppet (or a very off-kilter, oddly voiced, dressed, and made-up person, anyhow), and the second guy looks "normal" (or cartoon-normal, at least), but after he has given in to the fun and the 3rd guy arrives, HE looks so normal (and full size) that fellow #2 is revealed as the puppet he is.
As so many others have said, I LOVE this video! Thanks for making (and posting) it!
As soon as I hear someone say bulbous, this is in my head.
As it should be. Obviously! ;)
Y’all I used this video as an academic source in an English essay
That is the logical thing to do.
Yes
When that guys hair said “🥦”. I felt that
This is the funniest thing my older brother showed me
This is what people did for entertainment while waiting for things before phones.
Everyday I try to make a more entertaining video.
but Damnit how. How, Damnit.
practice
ghbn
The audio has been about since 1997 or so. Just needed the animation (which still makes this awesome. I much prefer this to the live version from TV.
I think the content you make is pretty good, I especially like the video you made on female mercys, you should consider making more content like that (:
I've listened to this for years. never seen a video, though. Dr. Demento played it on the radio a lot and I recorded it on a cassette! lol
Heard this first when I bought a Dr. Demento CD because it had a couple Weird Al's songs on it! But having heard this, it's become an instinct classic! I love it when someone asks me a closed ended questions, I respond Nooo, the Eskimos! Or a BaluGA whale! Those enlightened by this recording catch it instantly, others just look at me and walk away w a pained, strained look on their face! I've even memorized this with my daughters, and make for a fun car ride as we roll along saying/ singing mukluks/placebo/blubber / blubber/blubber/ shindig
Same situation for me! I found the 20th anniversary collection on cassette and had to get it because I was already a fan of Weird Al so of course I'm going to love more funny music! And I did. I was with my mom and when popped it in the tape player when we got in the car. "Delicious" played and it was kind of awkward being with my mom. 😆
I'm glad you and your daughters have bonded over this nonsense. Woohoo!
One time my 5th grade teacher showed our class this. Man time flies. I had just remembered this video and it is amazing.
Good teacher right there.
This video has changed my life forever. This is a work of art.
Goal achieved! I hope you have a great rest of your life after this. ;)
Thanks for making this, this was always one of my favorite Dr. Demento things.
My pleasure! I loved listening to it on the anniversary collection!
My toddler children got stuck on the word "stupid" because they heard it and think it sounds funny. I'm glad this is still here so I can use it to redirect their attention.
There are definitely better words to highlight than "stupid"!
@@spejampar Certainly a plethora!
This feels like a fever dream
It might be.
Dude I've been watching this for years. It should have gone viral already. Best video on TH-cam.
Dude! You reached 1K! That’s a big milestone I’m so proud of you Spencer!❤
Holy crap. Thanks! Seeing your notification on my phone was how I found out. It doesn't really affect anything for me since I still can't monetize my videos, but it is absolutely a momentous occasion. Feel free to celebrate for me in your own way! Haha! ;)
This is one of the best things I have ever seen.
And it shall remain that way forever more.
I'm waiting for the 10-hour version!
Hmmmmm, I'll have to think about that. :)
@@spejampar "a beluga whale...BELUGA!"
This is true art.
This is an adult sesame street scetch if ive ever seen one
Puppets, baby!
I heard this the first time 15-16 years ago and it never gets old :D
I have no idea what this shit is, but I couldn't stop watching it.
My plan is working.
I think about this every once in a while. Thank you.
You are very welcome. I think about it too.
*Hullabaloo.*
Spencer, True enough I was introduced to Bulbous Buffont while on a scuba diving vacation in the Caribbean. One of our fellow divers was a ten year old girl who had the whole thing memorized. By the end of a week together on the dive boat, all of us adults were winging it and singing along....and adding verses of our own. Carry on! Spencer! Carry on! I have always had a certain appreciation for sing-song-words.... like ankylosing spondilitis, idiopathic telangectasia and endoplasmic reticulum.
