I watched all 425 episodes of this and now i wish i hadn't.
The show takes place in what is perceived by the Teletubbies as a lush green land, it is in fact a dystopian hellscape of which they are completely unaware.
The reason for their psychotic break? Well, the voice trumpets that appear everyday (an obvious metaphor for the government) gas them with psychoactive drugs, thus leaving the Teletubbies blissfully unaware of the broken landscape and the bones of their forefathers that surround them.
The sun baby played by the talented Jess Smith, obviously represents not only the high levels of radiation they live in (because of the bombs), but the cosmic rays they are exposed to on a daily basis because the war ruined the atmosphere.
The main shelter of the four Teletubbies is an "earth house", this is in fact an aging radiation shelter which is now infested with rats.
Now on to the characters, and this where my problems begin.
Tinky Winky is the more rotund of the group and could be construed as the alpha, especially as his triangular antenna is an obvious wink to the illuminati. He always carries a red bag, it's never explained why, and at the end of the series i felt like i had just finished watching lost.
Dipsy is one of the more interesting characters, his antenna is a nod to the growing sexual tension amongst our post apocalyptic survivors. He's stubborn and somewhat doesn't play by the rules. His face is notably darker than the rest of the Teletubbies which is a commentary on race.
Laa-Laa is the yellow one, she spends most of her time dicking about singing and dancing, she never pulls her weight, this custard colored ass-hat was a real sticking point for me.
now on to possibly the worst character in the series, Po.
Po seems very sweet on the surface, but below that sweet exterior is the burning rage of a thousand suns (hence the color red). Some say she was the one that pressed the button that started all of this, but between the witty retorts of "eh-oh" and "aaaaah" i just don't know what her motivation is! and after 425 episodes of this, i still don't! this one dimensional character really let the show down for me, and has ruined completely what could of been an in depth and multi-layered story.
