Teletubby

Colorful TV creature

A Teletubby is one of four colorful, antenna-topped creatures from the British children's television series *Teletubbies*.

The characters—Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po—speak in baby talk and live in a futuristic dome.

Outside discussions of the show, Teletubby sometimes describes someone acting childish or vacant: He just stood there like a Teletubby.
