You either love '''Goob Toob''', or you hate Goob Toob. If you hate him, then that's because you think he's going to kill your brain cells. However, his screen has been stuck on the same "program" for a long time. That "program" happens to be a show about four blocks of color that don't do anything and is called "Technical Difficulties".

Did you get a signal yet? I need to see what happens next on As the Kitchen Sinks!

You either love Goob Toob, or you hate Goob Toob. If you hate him, then that's because you think he's going to kill your brain cells. However, his screen has been stuck on the same "program" for a long time. That "program" happens to be a show about four blocks of color that don't do anything and is called "Technical Difficulties".
