Sorry. I meant they don't fall down.

It has something to do with their center of gravity. That, and they are heavier on the bottom.
Hey, how old ARE you, anyway? Weebles!!??
:) I had several Weebles. And the cool OLD kind of Fisher Price little people, with their houses and villages and schools.

When an object is tilted to a point where its center of mass falls outside the fulcrum around which the object is tilting, gravity will continue to pull it over the rest of the way. In the case of your weebles, the CM is very low close to the base; so when tilting them, their CMs never fall outside their fulcrums. In which case, the force of gravity acting on the CM always pulls your weebles back upright.

It's because those little weebles have a container inside that is full of belly jelly..and that belly jelly floats, like mercury so they just don't fall, they bounce right back up! ;)

Hey this weeble falls down sometimes.
Not often, but it sure scares my daughter!

it is simple physics, my friend: the weebles counter balance the wobbles

Oh man, that is just such a dumb TV show. Sorry, but all this little-kid oriented tv is just dumbing them down. Have you noticed that 75% of the people here don't know when to put the apostrophe in it's?
And that SONG... don't get me started.

They have a round bottom with a large metal whieght in it. You could push them and they would wobble, if you pushed them over they would just roll upright again.
