" Though they dislike the idea of telling jokes , playing games , swimming , and saying , " Whoopee ! " ( they consider the word profanity ) , the Cave Fraggles do find enjoyment in the mundane , particularly in dusting , and also sing and dance like other Fraggles , albeit in monotone .

Red Fraggle and Beige Fraggle brought peace between the two Fraggle populations , ending the war by hitting the two oldest Fraggles ( the World ' s Oldest Fraggle and the The Cave ' s Oldest Fraggle ) with pies .
