Brigitte and Simon Benn teach chipperish, a made-up gibberish language that releases frustration and boosts creativity by connecting both brain hemispheres. They demonstrate spontaneous chipperish conversations and songs, showing how it builds confidence and relieves stress with zero risk since there are no real words to regret.
Hello, my friends!
Hello, hello! Good afternoon, everybody. Good morning if you're in America, or good evening if you are somewhere else further around the world. We are on day 4 of Lockdown Laughter, laugh your way through lockdown with the lovely laughter liberator Brigitte. Today we are going to be talking chipperish. Now Chipperish is a very special language that Brigitte is going to introduce you to, and this is— we want to see you playing along with this if you want to, so you could make some comments or you could ask us some questions, or you could just try this out at home. We're going to give you a bit of a demo But this— what we want to do is give you something here that you can use to release a little bit of frustration if you're very frustrated, or if you want to kind of cheer yourself up, you can also use chipperish to do that. So whatever situation that you're particularly facing that you want to tackle, chipperish is a great way to do that, isn't it? Brigitte?
Yeah, gibberish is actually ideal because, you know, well, you'll find because we'll demonstrate to you, but you can really say anything you want and nobody really understands a word. So you don't have to be concerned about, am I going to use words that I regret later on? Or, you know, or you can be courageous because people don't understand you and we'll demonstrate you. So gibberish is just Making up something, just just any any sounds, and anybody can do that. That's amazing. Like anybody can do it. So let's swap with Tiborish like this. Baba lala monu kadlama balu.
Saladusiti.
Lama kukapata tu.
Hmm. Avene davereze bralabralbalbulbulbul.
Bulbulamana. So, so you get the idea, my friends. You can just do anything you want, and, and you can— we, we are having a conversation in gibberish, right? And then we can take it a little bit further. So let's have another conversation in gibberish.
Yes.
And if you're hearing us, then, you know, please, please, please think how you can use those In your life, and it's great for kids. It's great for playing out, for for getting rid of energy, and yeah. So anyway, let's see. So so what are we talking about? What are we doing? Ba ba la ma da ba da ba da.
Ba la ba ba ba ba ba da gibberish.
Ba ba ba ba ba da.
Skokchil.
Pulla mana kata putapa. Supu?
Hmm, hmm, hmm. Very good. Bad.
Pulla mana tu? Ooh, ooh. Lapata.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
So, uh, the—
so the process is simply make up some random words that make no sense to whatsoever— that make no sense whatsoever To anybody but yourself, and basically you're kind of you just we're distracting our brains really here, aren't we?
Yes, exactly. You're using the subconscious part of your mind. There is nothing conscious because it really doesn't make sense because if you say nobody understands, right? And and that's the cool thing because now I want to. Challenge us to just do a chipperish, just just half a minute or something of chipperish, and and let's do that together so so we can hear what it sounds like. So you go chipperish and I go chipperish. Ba ba la ba da na ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da. Go go go go go! Ba da ba da ba. Come on! Blue blah blah manna ba ba ba ba ba la la la ba.
La da ba da la ba ba ba ba ba ba.
So, so my friends, you understand now. The the other thing we have is we are going to sing. Most of us, we are kind of shy, right? And we think we might do something wrong. But when we For example, in gibberish, nobody understands what we're saying. So I am just going to demonstrate. Okay? And and and then then let's see if Simon if we can get him to do this too. So sing ba ba la ba ga sa pu na fu la ma ku na soli pu. Fuguality. Put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put. Okay!
Da ba da ba da ba ba da ba da ba bom ba ba bom bom ding ding ding jippy doo doo doo doo ding ding ding.
See, we all can sing. You can see whether whether it's like we would not do this normally in public. It's bad, but it's yeah. But so I want to give you another hint how we can use it if you're really really upset. I just really I'm a flower man. And the good thing is that even though I want to tell somebody off, they don't understand what I'm talking about, and I don't need to be afraid of it, and I can just get rid of my frustrations. So can you can you do something like that too?
Na bang ba bang ding.
See, and and so that sounds good, and. That's like having fun, you know, with gibberish. So gibberish is just the language that you make. And so let us just now change activity because we are almost running out. So we go ho ho ha ha ha. Ho ho ha ha ha. Very good. Very good.
Yay! Yay!
And So, so we're about the time. Yes, the time goes.
So maybe they all boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Are you not commenting because you think we are mad? Coming up yet. Who wants to be normal? Normal's pretty boring. We're all perfect and we're all individual and we're all different. And if we can see that, then it makes our lives a little bit more fun. And if we put that— just like all this chipperish, this language, it's a secret language. All right, you've brightened up my afternoon, Facebook user. Thank you, Facebook user. You see, if you ask, you might get. So I asked for a comment and I got one. That's great. If you don't ask, you probably won't get.
Oh, wonderful. And, and I want to tell to you, uh, those grown-ups, you know, we, uh, this is actually helping to connect your right brain and your left brain. It's relaxing your body and it's stimulating your creativity. And we are learning from our kids. And kids, I, I am just I'm so pleased to be able to talk to you and to inspire and to show you something and to be joyful and playful with you. And I'm so glad I'm here. Thank you, Simon, for asking me.
You're welcome. So there's a dare for you. A dare for you there, our lovely viewers, is to dare to show this to your kids. Um, no children were harmed in the making of this program. No children will be harmed by watching this program. This program has been brought to you by Brigitte, the Laughter Liberator, and Simon Benn, the Children's Happiness Expert. We will see you again tomorrow. Bye-bye.
