**Where's Moe?** is a recurring segment on *The Doodlebops*, where Deedee and Rooney look all over Doodlebop Central for Moe. It is first seen in Doodlebop Photo Op.

## Segment

At the start of *The Doodlebops*, Deedee and Rooney enter through big doors, then they introduce the show (Deedee: "Hey everybody." Rooney: "It's time for..." Both: "...*The Doodlebops*!") and themselves [with accompanied fanfares and lip-shaped horns playing these fanfares - Deedee ("I'm Deedee Doodle") gets good, fancy fanfares played by pink horns while Rooney ("I'm Rooney Doodle") gets bad, off-key fanfares played by blue horns (all personal fanfares sound different in each episode)]. They look at the doors, Moe did not come out with them, resulting in the two Doodlebops (or kids or Mr. Moosehead) to ask, "Where's Moe?".

Then, Deedee and Rooney start searching for Moe, with acquired help from Mr. Moosehead, Mudge, and in season 1, the Talking Busts or the chickens or aliens or the small creatures that popped up periodically, or for season 2, the chicken that sits in the nest. When Deedee and Rooney give up on finding him, one of them asks the viewer about Moe's whereabouts. The viewer *always* sees Moe before the two Doodlebops do. When the two find out where Moe is hiding, he reveals himself and says, "Ta-da, here I am", surprising them. Then the three introduce themselves and say "...and we're the *Doodlebops!*" The segment ends with Mudge saying an incorrect, misspelled or mispronounced interpretation of the band's name, and a child correcting him by saying "No, the Doodlebops!", resulting in Mudge saying something which culminates into The Doodlebop Pledge.

## Trivia

* Each time Deedee and Rooney introduce themselves in every episode, the animations of lip-shaped horns evolve in different seasons. Starting with the first, each two horns appear in front of each Doodle (magenta with purple lines for Deedee and blue with dark blue lines for Rooney). As of second season, two more horns are added into four. And in season 3, all the horns for each Doodle change shades of color. Deedee's turn from magenta to lavender and Rooney's from blue to light blue.
* Starting in season 2, Moe sometimes shrinks and hides from Deedee and Rooney. In season 1, however, he didn't shrink and hid behind props, inside of boxes, etc.
* Moe hides under the table in the episodes Cauliflower Power and All Aboard the Doodle Train.
* The episodes Fast and Slow Moe, High and Low, Gibble Gobble Nabber Gabber, Step By Step, Show and Tell, The Name Game, Oh, Brother and Way Better are the only episodes from The Doodlebops where Moe doesn't hide.
* Some episodes have variants of Deedee and Rooney's introduction (or variants of all three members introducing themselves after Moe is found):
	+ In Doodlebop Photo Op, Rooney says "Hey, everybody." and Deedee says "It's time for..." instead.
		- After Moe is found, instead of saying his name, Moe says he's "eating celery" before he corrects himself.
	+ In Keep Trying, when Rooney introduced himself, he heard a raspberry instead of a fanfare, so he uses a slide whistle to play his fanfare.
	+ In Count on Me, the two tap dance in order to play their fanfares.
	+ In Very Scary, Deedee pops out of the trapdoor when she says "Hey everybody." And Rooney jumps, then says "It's time for..."
	+ In The Move Groove, when Deedee says "I'm Deedee Doodle", she gets confetti instead of a fanfare. And Rooney gets a single pom-pom instead of a fanfare.
	+ In High and Low, the two are spinning then fall over. Deedee thinks she's "overspun [her] spin". A little later, Rooney calls himself "Rooney Dizzy" before correcting himself.
	+ In Gibble Gobble Nabber Gabber, since Deedee speaks gibberish until the Doodlebops get to the concert, Rooney imitated her voice, making him say both "Hey, everybody." when imitating Deedee and "It's time for..." in his normal voice. He does the same thing when they usually introduce themselves: Rooney says both "I'm Deedee Doodle" when imitating Deedee and "I'm Rooney Doodle" in his normal voice.
	+ In What? When? Why?, Rooney hears a sound similar to a cow mooing instead of a fanfare. He then raises his voice because the cow moo was quiet, then says his name louder. Which prompts a drumroll followed by a "ta-da" sound.
	+ In Roar Like A Dinosaur, when Deedee says "I'm Deedee Doodle", she gets not only a fanfare, but a bouquet of flowers. When Rooney says "I'm Rooney Doodle", he gets a sped-up fanfare and a single flower, the flower droops in his hands.
	+ In Growing Moe, while Deedee says "Hey everybody", Rooney spins, then his back is facing the camera when he says "It's time for..." then Deedee taps his shoulder and he turns around.
	+ In Abracadeedee, the two pop out of the cupboards when introducing the show.
	+ In The Eww Flower, Deedee didn't get her fanfare because she sneezed.
	+ In The Mighty Moe Machine, when Deedee says "I'm Deedee Doodle", she gets confetti instead of a fanfare. And Rooney gets his fanfare (without the horns), but Deedee snaps her fingers and the confetti reappears.

* This also happened briefly in the Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show Theme.
	+ The "Where's Moe" segment happening in the Rockin' Road Show theme is similar to finding Blue in the theme song of Blue's Clues and its reboot, Blue's Clues and You.
* A similar scenario occurred in JoJo's Circus, in which Goliath hides from JoJo in the beginning of episodes.
