You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when

[Poppun]

I really enjoyed the "You know you play too much Viva Pinata when" thread, so here's it's T.V. show counter part

You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you name your pet hedgehog Fergy and start taking him to the duck pond every week for his "therapy session"

[pinataFan626001]

You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you name your pet, Mongo. (I did that)

[Paulina Pretztail]

You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you get a horse and name him Hudson.

[Bugtap]

When you heard your favorite joke from Chortles Chippopatamus
(So this guy walked into a bar, and said ouch)

[Fergy1122]

When something doesn't go your way, you say, "Oh, fudge!"

[Poppun]

You start giving any frog shaped things around you funny looks (and funny hats)

You start studying psycology and are surprised that pinataparty phobia isn't mentioned in any textbooks

[Paulina Pretztail]

You get a fennec fox and name him Paulie.

[SD rulez]

When all of your sentences end in -ness. (Franklin)

[your_silly]

Oh, I thought you were talking about You, Me, and Dupree. Haha, I just watched that today. Your really need to keep your SD rulezness.

[Paulina Pretztail]

You start forgetting things like Ella Elephanilla.

[Poppun]

you start casting the poeple around you and yourself as characters from the show. (that is, thinking who is most like each character)

You suddenly stop eating raisens

[Budtard]

You know you've watched too much when you've noticed that in the introduction scene, the "Filled with fun!" speech doesn't match the mouth movements of the characters.


Well it doesn't!

[Pinatamastergirl3000]

You think about Pester in your dreams (I do! :p)

[wraisin pie]

when u see an animal and name it after its pinata counterpart e.g u call a fly a taffy. people would stare at u weirdly

[Paulina Pretztail]

You start taking up surfing just to be like Franklin.

[Chekt]

[Paulina Pretztail]

You let your pet cat or dog tear up a picture of Pester. (true story)

[Zap657]

You let your pet cat or dog tear up a picture of Pester. (true story)

More importantly, WHY did you have a picture of Proffessor Pester in the first place? :shock:

[Paulina Pretztail]

Well, it was a drawing of Pester that I drew, which was unintentionally left on the floor. Our cat is notorious for tearing up papers left on the floor.

[D3V0N]

You know you've watched to much so when you see a fox, you'd say "Hey, Paulie!"

[Kalebknecht]

you start casting the poeple around you and yourself as characters from the show. (that is, thinking who is most like each character)

[Sherbattybuddy]

You know you've watched too much Viva Pinata when:

You can actually read that bizzare alphabet they have.
You WRITE in said alphabet.
When you see a frog, you beg it NOT to take you to a party.
You eat blackberries and daisies, hoping to turn into a Zumbug.

[Polly Pretztail]

When something doesn't go your way, you say, "Oh, fudge!"

[KIM7813]

Let's see...

You try to take the pinata at party store home and put them in your garden.

[9mario9]

When you Throw 15 Gems on the Floor hoping a Chewnicorn Comes and eats Them

[Dr. Sparrel]

Or when you refuse to have an animal-shaped pinata at your birthday or refuse to whack it, wait that's just for fanatics,

[Telephoñy]

I've used the "O fudge!!!" line on many occasions - something I never did before until I started watching Viva Piñata and heard Fergy utter that phrase on many occasions - often when he was being chased by Langston in order to be marched to the cannoñata to be shot to a party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You also know you watch Viva Piñata too much when you scour Ebay for the Burger King Viva Piñata toys and actually *PURCHASE* them - yes, I did that too.

And here's my proof: http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/eleventh/vppl.htm
The website this is on is my own website, generally dedicated to LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) and things made with them. The Viva Piñata Party Light on this web page is a Spalding Sparrowmint with a smaller Hudson Horstachio figure inside that emits a dim yellow light when a blue button on his back is pressed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you have the following text on no fewer than 100 pages of your website:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This medical scanner is meant to be used as a stage prop on a television program, not as a flashlight meant to be carried around, thrashed, trashed, and abused, so I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a garage, let my housemate's kitty cats go to the litterbox on it, run over it with a 450lb Celebrity motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a large claw hammer in order to smash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piñata (http://www.vivapinata.com/announce/)" too much again http://safeco2.home.att.net/wink.gif - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island) {In the episode "Les Saves the Day...Again", Paulie Preztail says "Hey, ever wonder why this park's called 'Mount Erupto' anyway?", then Franklin Fizzlybear says "I think its an old native term. Means 'very safe.'"http://safeco2.home.att.net/roll2.gif}), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on this rather rare and expensive stage prop that flashlights might have to have performed on them. So this section of the web page about the Star Trek: The Next Generation Medical Scanner Stage Prop will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.

When you see a bee, and immediately think (or say) "O look!!! A Buzzlegum!"
I actually did just this a short time ago today (Aug. 26) while I was on the patio and saw a Buzzlegum land on...o there I just did it again!!!...saw a BEE land on a nearby chair.

Finally, when you have this adorning the wall in your room:

Here's my second Viva Piñata poster, just received today {08-21-08}:

You can see (from left to right):

Hudson Horstachio
Fergy Fudgehog
Franklin Fizzlybear
Paulie Preztail


I might be *WAY* too old for the target audience of this program, but I enjoy watching it nonetheless.

[Telephoñy]

There's a TV commercial for Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing that has one segment where children beat the living tweedle out of a piñata that looks like a horstachio, and when it bursts open, vegetables pour out. Every time I see this, I think of the Viva Piñata episode "Franklindigestion".

And whenever I listen to the song "At Night She Sleeps" by Night Ranger, I hear the lyrics as "At night she stomps" - there's a Viva Piñata episode with the same words (ordered a bit differently though) involving Ella Elephanilla.

[SweetieSuicune]

You cant stop thinking pinatas and you HAVE OBSESSIONS WITH STICKS!!!!

[Amaroq]

You know you watch too much when you beat your professer with a stick screaming "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR KILLING MY WC PROFITAMOLE!" (Whack, whack)

[Pieenas areAWESOME!!!]

When you start wacking people with bats and wiating for candy to fly out.

[Hudson-niichan]

You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you go to art school to revenge because of a caricature.

(El Sketcho/ Marvin Mallowolf):D

[Telephoñy]

I saw a commercial for a cellular telephone where this guy bashed open a horstachio-shaped piñata, and the candy kept pouring out - it kept coming and coming and coming...my first thought was "wow, that piñata has fantastic candiosity!". http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/eleventh/smiley36.gif

[Telephoñy]

There's a commercial for the Honda Civic DX VP, and every time I see it, I think that "VP" stands for "Viva Piñata" instead of "Value Pack". :eek::roll::eek:

[Telephoñy]

...when you dream about the program or the characters in it.
I keep a dream journal; here are some Viva Piñata dreams from that:


SEPTEMBER 21, 2007:
In part of this dream, I was somehow *INSIDE* the TV program "Viva Piñata"; however I did not encounter Fergy Fudgehog trying to evade the cannoñata to avoid getting shot out of it & sent to a party, and I did not encounter Langston Lickatoad trying to get any of the piñatas to go have their candiosity checked and subsequently get marched to the cannoñata. I distinctly remember the backgrounds in vivid colors (trees, foliage, etc.) on Piñata Island, so I know I was at that particular location.


MAY 10, 2008:
I forgot much of this dream before I could "finish my drink, down my smoke" - er - uh "finish my smoke, down my drink" (from the Anthrax song "Born Again Idiot"), but this dream had something to do with Tina & Teddington Twingersnap (the two-headed "snake" on the TV program Viva Piñata); if I remember correctly they were somehow seperated but still talking and not in any pain.


SEPTEMBER 04, 2009:
I dreamt that I was inside the television program "Viva Piñata" again. This time, I remember Fergy Fudgehog attempting to purchase an umbrella from one of the other piñatas for "$30 to $40"; apparently the umbrella would protect Fergy from getting shot out of the cannoñata to a fabulous party - Fergy just dreads that thing.

We were near a semicircular doorway to a fairly large structure; possibly Piñata Central (aka. Party Central) itself -- however I did not see Langston Lickatoad nor did I hear him shout "We need a fudgehog!" or "Get over here, you miserable fudgehog!"- - phrases he would often shout when chasing Fergy to try to get him to go to a party.

[bunnycomb__9]

Me too, when I see a hedgehog crossing my street, i say "Look a Fudgehog!"

[TheFudgehogGuy]

Also, I constantly make the noise that Fudgehogs make when they are sick. Sounds like a crying nerd, lol.

[Birthday boy]

You know you watch too much viva pinata if you grow turnips thinking a mouse will come and eat them

(you would had to have watched several episodes of "Viva Piñata" in order to "get" this one)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Piero Pretztail]

You know you watch too much Viva Piñata when you start talking like Hudson in his charismatic voice.

[syrupentmaster]

You know you watch to much VP if you wait for a pinata to move and talk and call it example:If it's a serpent you call it syrupent.

[Birthday boy]

I saw a horstachio looking pinata and said "look a horstachio

[VioletWhirlwind]

...when you dream about the program or the characters in it.

Guilty. I have dreams about the show and more often the game every now and then. They usually devolve into complete wierdness though XD. Of course that's the case with most of my dreams.

Anyway.

When you have a pinata sitting in your room that you continually promise never to send to parties (true. have had it since I was 13, and ALWAYS promised it that it wouldn't get broken...though even moreso now that I have the game/ saw the show :P) And you cover it in accessories. (aslo true)

Also, I have several tapes of the episodes.

[Telephoñy]

When you have not one, but TWO web pages about Viva Piñata products on your website.

A web page about Viva Piñata™ Posters (http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/27/vposters.htm) is to go up on my website on 04-06-10 (or "06 Apr. 2010" if you prefer). This goes with the web page I already have up there for the Viva Piñata™ Party Light (http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/eleventh/vppl.htm). :mrgreen:

[reklaw_vahn]

I saw a horstachio looking pinata and said "look a horstachio

This is funny, my wife and I have problems with saying Horstachio when it comes to pistachios or the character, Horatio, from CSI: Miami...lol.

You know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you ask someone what their favorite candy is (i.e. chocolate) then buy a pinata for that candy (i.e. ostrich) and then tell your friend/kid/sibling "Look, I got you a Blue Chocstrich that knows a trick!"

[MichaelMallowolf]

you know you watch too much Viva Pinata when you still fantasize when they had the toys in Burger King *sighs*

You watch too much Vp when you try and find A Horstachio pinata

Funny you should mention that...seems I saw a horstachio-shaped (and with similar coloration) piñata on a TV commercial for a party supplies store not all that long ago...I think that store may have been Party City but I don't know that with absolute, positive, 100% certainity.

[Lack-A-Toad99]

When you say "Lickitoads are cool!" instead of "Frogs are cool!"

When you think being muscular will give you an accent
If you think spiders run cafes
If you think machines that make bubbles and play happy music will torture people
If you think pinatas are alive
If you think pinatas have a slight chance of pouring out vegetables instead of candy due to a disease

[Alice the Pretztail]
