Mother laughs hysterically at ‘Wiggles’ performers flipping middle fingers during kids’ show: ‘Where is tall finger?’

#thewiggles The gesture, on both hands, happened for several seconds as Gillespie continued singing the lyrics, “How are you today friend?

Very well, thank you. Run away. Run away.”“Welp, this got my attention,” the TikTokker captioned in her video as she was heard laughing throughout the clip.In the same social media post, the mother replayed the video and zoomed in on Hawkins, the singer wearing a yellow shirt and sunflower headband, and wrote “This was personal.” The clip showed Hawkins smiling directly into and making eye contact with the camera as she aimed her middle finger right at the lens — seemingly giggling while bringing her hand down as Gillespie sang “Run away.

Run away.”“Tsehay meant that s–t,” the TikTokker captioned.“Wiggles just flipped us off,” one person commented.“Listen, I get it, but also, who thought this would go well?” another wrote.Social media commenters also pointed out how odd it was that they called it the “tall” finger instead of the “middle” finger.One user questioned if the middle finger carried the same meaning in Australia, where the show is filmed, as opposed to the United States, debating if the gesture was intentional or cultural differences.“Australians DEFINITELY use the middle fingers to flip people off, that’s why this is funny; she flipped the camera off intentionally and giggled to herself,” a person on the platform suggested.Others suggested that kids in Australia see songs like this performed often.“My mom was a pre-school teacher and the kids performed this.

They flipped everyone off,” someone commented. This isn’t the first time the show had adults wondering if there were hidden jokes aimed at them.
