I’m not an expert on strange shows for children, in this country or any other, but Kinderkreis HAS to be right up there with the weirdest. Teletubbies on Molly. Kids answer questions and then dancers in spandex interpret their response. BE-yond. How can you parody something that has all the hallmarks of parody already? Dans Gushers!! Watch.
UPDATE: After posting this my FB friend, Ann O’Mynous, wrote to say this about the video, directed by Bill Moulton;
Publicis Modem wanted to create a viral film that had the feel of a foreign television program for the General Foods fruit snack, Gushers. So, I worked with the creative team to develop a show concept called “Kinderkreis” (Circle of Children) featuring a colorful dance troupe that interprates the emotions of children through dance movements. Each dancer represents a different Gusher flavor and I created a special song just for them, called “Dans Gushers”. But while the show is entirely in German, it was actually shot in Buenos Aires with an all-Argentinian cast. The clip quickly became viral, reaching the Conan O’Brien show and spurring many online spoofs…especially in Germany, where it has created an ongoing debate about whether the show is really German or not.
