The Snurples

The Snurples was a TV Show that Manny watched in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel. The Snurples characters have their own language and Greg and his family can barely understand it while Manny appears to understand it and it also ruins Manny's social skills as he talks in this language. Susan read in a parenting magazine that The Snurples is not good for little kids as it sets them back in social skills, this working true as Manny doesn't have a friend except for imaginary friends. However, Manny's social skills improved, as Mikey was his friend in Hard Luck, implying that he is getting better.

Trivia

 * The Snurples seems to be based on the Sneetches, because one Snurple has a star and the other doesn't.
 * The fact of the Snurples setting children back in social and language skills was a reference to Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men, which during it's debut in the 50's, was objected by parents because they thought the gibberish language in the show would set children back in skills.
