Oddbods (also known as The Oddbods Show)[a] is a Singaporean computer-animated comedy television series produced by One Animation.[1][2][3][4] The series centers on eight characters—Bubbles, Pogo, Newt, Lulu, Jeff, Slick, Fuse and Zee—wearing furry suits of different colors.[2] The characters make sounds but there is no dialogue, making the series easily translatable and international.

The series debuted in 2013, and the first season ended in 2015.[5] Each season has 60 episodes. Season two followed in 2016. Season three released on April 4, 2022 on Netflix. Each episode is relatively short, and various formats have been broadcast, including one-, five-, and seven-minute episodes.

The series has won several awards since its debut, including the Asian Television Awards, Apollo Awards, Gold Panda Awards, and Web TV Asia Awards. In 2017, it was nominated for an international Kids Emmy Award.[6]
