Teletubbies was a TV show written by Andrew Davenport and produced by Anne Wood. The show is named so because of the televisions on their tummies. Despite Teletubbies being a children’s show, several conspiracy theories have surfaced about the show:
1. Sun Baby is a demon
A demon known as Sorath is meant to be associated with the sun, in popular media, he is represented by the numbers 666. It is kind of funny that the creators of the show decided to make the sun into a baby.
2. The Teletubbies are Connected to Harry Potter
That’s right, the chosen one. The one and only. The boy that lived. The- okay maybe I should explain this theory. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, and Po each have an antenna that looks like one of the Deathly Hallows. Furthermore, Laa-Laa’s antenna is shaped like a lightning bolt, corresponding to Harry Potter’s infamous scar. Still don’t believe me? I will go even further to prove this by saying that the Sun Baby represents Snape. Snape always seems to be watching over Harry and his friends. The Sun Baby always seems to watch over the Teletubbies. Well there you have it. The Teletubbies are somehow connected to Harry Potter.
3. It’s All In the Name
If you break apart the name “teletubby” you get “tele” and “tubby” (obviously) and because the costume for teletubbies are quite big, we can assume the meaning of “tubby” in this case, based on multiple meanings, is “dull” or “lacking freedom.” With this in mind, let us also look into the fact that voices seem to tell the teletubbies what to do. Perhaps they are slaves.
4. Dystopia
The teletubbies are features in a future dystopian world, where they are kept dumby peeps, drugged, and enslaved.
5. Brainwashing
While this may be extreme, some believe that the repetitive opening of the show could be an attempt to brainwash their children viewers. The creepiest part of this theory is that many little children seem to be obsessed with the show.
Random things you didn’t know about the Teletubbies:

The giant rabbits that they used on set bred with each other off stage and were constantly dying.
Teletubbies were meant to look like astronauts.
The Teletubby costumes are huge, Tinky Winky is 11 feet tall.
The creators of the show sold the rights for $22,037,535 in 2013. (wow that’s a lot of damage)
Some child psychologists shared their concerns over the characters mispronouncing words.
