[edit] Hoobs are funny
The second term in the list used to describe the Hoob characters lists them as "cute, cuddly and funny." This is a lapse in neutriality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.174.255.70 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Er... hmmm...
In that case, surely we can call them neither cute nor cuddly, since that is only the opinion of the writer; meaning, that this is a POV statement!! And please sign you comments with 4 tilde's ~~~~.

- I agree - besides, if you look at the Channel 4 Hoobs website, which seems to be the source of most of the information, those exact words are seen. Trixovator 20:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nimmo
What's with the Nimmo after Iver's name?
Also there is a little too much 'opinion' and too many repetitions of the Hoob names.
I suggest a clean-up of this article. Yyem 15:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Inappropriateness: The Caste System & Innuendo
Surely there should be some mention of the subordinate nature of the sentiant creatures kept under the bonnet of the Hoobmobile, and stuffed into Roma's bike. These Motorettes appear to have nothing more to their lives than being driven to create music which powers the vehicles. Something quite odd and subliminally unpleasant about this, don't you think.
Also, there is a large amount of innuendo shoved into most episodes - be it with titles along the lines of "A Great Big Bonk" or just littering the Hoob speach. Yyem 15:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- If you can back it up with published sources rather than provide your own interpretations, feel free. —scarecroe 18:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

- Agreed. It's impossible to prove that any such innuendo exists in The Hoobs because it's completely subjective, even though I sympathise. (There has been dialogue which made me double-take, but in some cases you'll hear whatever you're trying to listen for whether it's there or not.) The Holy ettlz 17:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Hoobs C4 microsite Groove likes offering Tula a play with his Hoobledangler on a regular basis - there is a pause and then he produces it
Motorettes They missed out - "are never allowed to leave the confines of the engine." One episode recently where they are removed by Tula & Groove, they run around like crazy trying to get free... Yyem 13:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

- Before you add anything to the article here, you should read WP:NOR. What you've provided here is situations from the show and your own conclusions... which don't belong on Wikipedia. —scarecroe 16:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough - i'll leave well alone and live with my deductions :) Yyem 12:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
