Which CBeebies character would make the worst partner?

Pat would be worst- clearly takes ages to make every delivery. Not a fan of his own home life.

Andy disappearing back in time/across continents/ to band rehearsals would run him a close second.

Thoughts?

Flop makes me look like an awful, impatient snappy parent.

Agree about Pat though. Most of the kids in the village are his.

Simon from Waffle with his sodding guitar. He's a grown man who sits around writing songs about the dog. No wonder his gorgeous ex seems so happy. She's finally free.

Flop would also be awful to co-parent with. Total Disney dad. You'd be stuck being the bad guy and punishing Bing, while he'd just talk in that soothing voice. Agh.

I categorically will not have a bad word said against Andy.

Mr tumble - just imagining it gives me shingles. I imagine he's very depressed having to spend all his working week being a cross dressing clown

Magpiecomplex · 10/07/2020 17:40

Justin and his relentless cheeriness would be under the patio before you could blink...

Everyone likes him when he wears tight trousers Wink

Omg shivers not shingles!!

Has anyone seen the film 'let the right one in'? Art housey remake of a Swedish film, something about child vampires and their protector who sacrifices everything to keep the vampire happy? (Sounds bizarre I know!) That's what Flop reminds me of, someone tied in servitude to a demonic being.

EmmaJR1 · 10/07/2020 17:41

Duggee the over performing dog! Christ on a bike just sit down watch Netflix and give the kids an iPad!

Robert the Robot due to lack of penis (I'm assuming...)

I joined this thread for the sole reason to nominate that Waffle Dad as the shittest imaginable partner. What a cardigan of man, but someone has beaten me to it!

thedaytodayyesterday · 10/07/2020 17:45

@TitianaTitsling yes! Flop is Bing’s ‘familiar’

user1471517900 · 10/07/2020 17:46

@LegitSnack - can push his buttons easily enough mind you. Plus your house would be clean.....

Im guessing the end of lockdown can't come soon enough?

user1471517900 · 10/07/2020 17:50

@Marriedtoapenguin is clearly in love with Peso.

Second the vote for the guitar strumming dad out of Waffle the Wondermutt. Where do i even start?!

Also, partnering up with either one of Topsy and Tim's parents would give me a nervous breakdown...

PicklePig31 · 10/07/2020 17:55

Bing.... his over the top whining would send me over the edge...

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 10/07/2020 18:01

I can see a great deal of appeal in being with Andy - not like he'd struggle to nip out for a takeaway, and you get plenty og time to yourself while he goes off with the science cat thing.

I couldn't put up with Major Clanger and his hoarding. And his sense of superiority. Ew.

Herecomethehotstepper · 10/07/2020 18:02

Topsy and Tim's dad as you could never live up to his stepford wife ex.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 10/07/2020 18:04

I would take Andy in a heartbeat.

Agree about Pat though. Most of the kids in the village are his. This is a worrying interpretation that never occured to me before but now seems worryingly plausible!

Confrontayshunme · 10/07/2020 18:05

I would say any of the Teletubbies. Overweight, useless, picky eaters and you'd have to repeat everything twice.

I'll take Justin off your hands! He's my ultimate celebrity crush.

Mr Maker would be my idea of hell. I'm sure he's a fantastic and wonderful man but he comes across on TV as the kind of guy who'd apologise after sex.

vampirethriller · 10/07/2020 18:15

Andy's over acting makes me unreasonably angry. I couldn't live with that.
Simon from Waffle isn't even a drip, he's a trickle.
