Ok, I have been searching for info on this product for like 10 years and I want to see if someone else out there can have better luck finding it/remembering it then I can.
It was a VHS based learning system that came with a grey plastic keypad. You would put in the VHS and cue your system sort of like a Teddy Ruxpin. The video was about two monster type people who flew around in a cardboard box. One was like a giant black Echidna with yellow tips on his hair who played I believe the drums. The other was a blue cat thing with an extending neck and super long white fingers. They would occasionally scream and you would have to activate your keyboard and start speed typing the words that went across the screen on the keyboard while the characters waited in silence on the TV. In one of the modules at least there was a military man who entered there box.
I am not sure if it was American made but they reminded me of a Bill and Ted style set up where the Echidna had a voice similar to Bullwinkle.
It taught you things like grammar and how to use pronouns.
Included is my horrible mspaint doodle drawn from a distant memory of what they looked like. Please help me before I go insane.

The humor was quite absurd at times. I distinctly remember a tiddlywink contest, and someone with bad teeth offering Beek candy. Where did all the copies of this tape go? Check every Goodwill and garage sale!
