Since we’ve been out of Canada Kids CBC has undergone some kind of makeover and now has a new host, and a bunch of new muppet-type characters, one of which is this…um…creature. Meet “Mamma Yamma”:
I’m sorry but is it just me or does that not look like a big ol’ turd? Maybe it does also look like a yam, which I assume is where the “Yamma” part comes from, but whether she’s a yam or a steaming heap of poo, there can be only one verdict: WORST. MUPPET. EVER.
Who are they kidding trying to make an adorable yam? Yams are not, nor will they ever be, cute or sexy. Delicious, yes. Loveable? No.
Also? They spelled “Mama” wrong. CBC, I could not be more disappointed!

They have been putting clips from this show before movies at the theater here in Winnipeg lately. “Mamma Yamma” and “Sid” teaching people about movie stunts etc. It was kind of creepy. And yes, I agree with your original analysis of what Ms. Yamma looks like. And it’s not a yam.

Absolutely! It’s a shame the CBC destroyed what *used* to be a great kids program.
You know it’s *BAD* when your preschooler agrees that the show sucks and she’d rather go take a nap than watch one minute of that creepy singing turd.

I can’t get beyond the smiling turd
Yes – very very bad.
