I agree that I certainly would not say that Boober has all of the funniest lines on the show after I say why the Rock needs him, but Boober is a great, wonderful guy and an all-around wonderful Fraggle and as he is a Fraggle, he does sing songs like his friends all do.<br />However, as my second point, bursting into song does certainly NOT mean that Boober is "having fun like the rest of his friends." Boober sings songs about things that matter to him, songs like Get Blue (Goin' Down the Road) and The Friendship Song.<br />I am a serious person too and I also like it but that doesn't mean that us serious people don't have our slightly happier moments. When Boober takes back his lucky blanket from The Trash Heap in, "I Don't Care", he sings a much happier reendition of the song Get Blue (Goin' Down the Road) and proceeds to go on to the Fraggle play where Mokey is quite cruel to him by taking his blanket away. Boober is by far my favourite Fraggle (and Muppet), but surely you have to agree that Boober can be funny at times, whether it be for Sidebottom or for his very unintentional sarcasm. Or you can go the way, he (and I) sometimes like to go, which is this, "I am not funny! I am distinctly UNfunny!"Jennifer Filipsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388731228923289276.post-82185709222702412262011-06-17T22:58:52.077-05:002011-06-17T22:58:52.077-05:00You dare contradict what Boober is after you point...You dare contradict what Boober is after you point out what would happen if he was never part of Fraggle Rock?! I can't believe you!<br /><br />Boober isn't funny! He's a really serious guy and so am I. His seriousness is what makes me like him.<br /><br />Characters who don't make me life are my types of characters. Why? 'Cause I've been a serious person for a long time and I really like it.<br /><br />Plus, funny characters get on my nerves whereas serious characters are more mature, intelligent, sensible, and are good role models in that they know what to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
