Ask the Storybots

Hahahaha. Storybots.

Ask the Storybots is a frankly surreal educational TV series premiering on Netflix, in which a group of five storybots - beings that live in computers and answer children's questions via the educational apps the series is based on - set out each episode to provide the solution to a head scratching puzzle, like 'how do airplanes fly?' or 'where do French fries come from?'

Typically featuring a false start and then a trail of increasingly accurate answers, the main 'plot' of each episode is interspersed with learning songs and strange interludes with the easily amused storybot functionaries at HQ, who giggle at everything like Minions sensing a double entendre ("Hahahaha. Ninja.*") In addition to a number of jokes aimed largely at parents - the Storybots are introduced to the 'Underground' where potatoes grow by Molepheus, a mole in a black trenchcoat and little round glasses - each episode features a guest appearance, such as Jay Leno as King Yardstick (the ruler) and Kevin Smith as Super Mega Awesome Ultra Dude, a TV superhero who can't fly, but encourages the audience to "stay in school. That way when you grow up you can play awesome make believe in front of a green screen."

And it's taught Arya exactly why she needs to brush her teeth, so that's a result.

* Also, N is for Ninja now.
