Hosted by a human musician named DJ Lance Rock (who wears an orange suit), the show follows live-action segments featuring 5 friendly costumed toys: Muno (a red cyclops), Foofa (a pink flower bubble), Plex (a yellow robot), Brobee (a little green broccoli bee/forest creature), and Toodee (a blue cat-dragon). In between them are lots of animated sketches and songs.[1]

Among the varied animation sequences during the show is "Super Martian Robot Girl", designed by indie cartoonists Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer.[2] The title character of the segment was voiced by Ariela Barer in season one and Caroline Jacobs in season three.

Kidrobot made the toy models of the characters that appear at the beginning and end of each episode. The title of the show pays homage to "Gabba Gabba Hey" by the punk rock band Ramones.[3]

A single topic is addressed in each episode (such as "Adventure", "Friends", or "Dance") through songs and short storylines. Additionally, the show teaches children life and social skills, such as sharing and trying different foods. It also encourages viewers to move along with and dance with the characters in the program. The show is noted for its guest stars consisting of largely indie music acts, and for drawing visual inspiration from 8-bit video games and H.R. Pufnstuf, among other television shows. Created by Jacobs (lead singer of the Aquabats) and Schultz, the show's learning process has parents, older siblings, and younger children watch the show together rather than letting it act as a babysitter.
