Teletubbies: The MAWLR

Do you think my encounter with the Teletubbies episode "Yuki Terumi" and "Infamous" were gruesome? You better think again as I tend to tell you.

I was watching an episode of a show called Sidekick on my phone one day until my dad asked if I would like to go to Safeway with him. I said yes and we then headed out.

When we got to Safeway, I paid for a box of Cocoa Puffs, a box of Oreo's and a container of Simply Apple juice. On my way to the checkout, I looked at the movies they had on sale.

That was when I noticed a Teletubbies DVD that was in a CD case like that other lost episode of Teletubbies. The cover mainly consisted of the Teletubbies in a brown background.

The ABC For Kids logo was there as usual.

The DVD was titled "Helicopter And Other Stories."

"Hmm.... I'm going to guess this is another of Ted Morgann's sick tricks!" I muttered.

I looked at the DVD's price tag and it said $1.40.

"Neato!" I muttered once more. I was honestly surprised that the Safeway in my area would sell a Teletubbies DVD for this cheap.

I bought my groceries including the DVD and my dad and I headed home.

My dad told me that he would be going out to visit my Uncle David.

After he left, I began to put the DVD into my DVD/VCR combo while I got my Oreo's.

It opened with the logos for ABC DVD, BBC, and ABC For Kids.

Then it went to the menu. The menu had a picture of the Teletubbies sitting at the table while a bunch of Tubby Toast is both on the table and on the floor.

The menu options were the same just like all those other episodes that my friends encountered.

I hit "Play All" and sat back.

There were 4 episodes that played as normal. The four episodes included Shadows, Ned's Potatoes, Carnival and Drumming With Norris. But the last episode, dear lord, it was as horrifying as I thought it was.

First, it began with a warning that said this:

"This episode of Teletubbies entitled The MAWLR contains content such as blood, gore and violence. It must not be viewed by the faint of heart. Watch at your own risk!"

After the warning, the intro started as normal. But when the scene of the tubbyland trumpet rising up appeared, the trumpet instead said, "A giant mech is coming to Teletubbyland!"

It then cut to the sun baby who looked a bit disappointed. I didn't know what was wrong with it.

The first segment then began. It consisted of Tinky Winky taking a walk. That wasn't until he looked at the camera.

"Eh oh!" Tinky Winky said.

The narrator who happened to sound like Pierce Brosnan said, "One day in Teletubbyland, Tinky Winky was taking a walk."

As Tinky Winky walked, he spotted what looked like a flag. Only, the flag was a symbol of a team from Killzone.

"I wouldn't bother touching that if I were you!" A voice said.

Tinky Winky turned around and saw who appeared to be Lucas Kellan from Killzone.

"What's that?" Tinky Winky asked.

"It looks like a soldier!" The narrator replied.

"I am in fact a soldier. My name's Lucas. Now Tinky Winky, I need to tell you that there's a giant mech on it's way to your hometown. You and your friends need to think about taking shelter or evacuating this land." Lucas said.

All of a sudden, a large boom was heard. It made the screen shake.

"What was that?" Tinky Winky said while getting worried.

"It's here!" Lucas replied.

"What's here?" The narrator asked.

"The MAWLR you asshole!" Lucas shouted while aiming directly at the camera.

I was shocked to hear that word in a Teletubbies episode.

We then see the MAWLR who had just appeared in Teletubbyland.

However, there were a few errors with this scene. When I saw the MAWLR walking around, some parts of the robot's legs went missing as if it was an animation error.

It then cuts back to Tinky Winky and Lucas.

"Run away!" Tinky Winky yelled.

Tinky Winky then ran to the Teletubby house.

The next scene cut to Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po eating some tubby custard.

"Giant robot, giant robot!" Tinky Winky shouted.

Before Po could say anything, the windmill began to spin meaning it was time for a TV event. The Teletubbies said "Uh oh!" like they would.

The quartet ran to a hill as Lucas can be seen calling in some troopers to take down the robot.

The Teletubbies then made it to the windmill. Dipsy was selected for the TV event.

The TV event started. It featured 2 boys who seemed british. They waved at the camera.

"We are going to the library today!" One of the boys said as they pointed out where the closest library was.
