Now and then, I've heard kids and cartoon characters speaking Ubbi Dubbi on TV, but I've never tried to master it myself. Most of the time, I've been able to follow along fairly easily. When the words are simple and recognizable, it seems no harder to grasp than basic Pig Latin:
"Tuboothpubaste."
"Wubet pubaint."
"Subantuba Clubaus."
But things can get tricky real quickly, as the syllables start piling up:
"Hubelubicuboptuber."
Even when I can't begin to decipher the words, I like the look and sound of Obenglobish, a similar language game. (The word "Obenglobish" itself has such an authentic feel; How can it be nothing but meaningless gibberish?)
My favorite bit of Obenglobish:
"Robomobantobic cobomobedoby."
