To be a bit shocked at mummy pig (lighthearted)

And the password to get in a Peppas playhouse is "daddy's big tummy" or some such. Daddy pig gets it worse off overall. He also can't read maps. He is a structural engineer at work though. So he's got plenty of failings.

I detest peppa pig, George is the worst though! That cry whenever he doesn't get his own way. love Ben & holly though jelly flooood

I'm weaning dd 6mo onto Doctors. She does tend to get excited when the theme tune starts and always gets excited when Mrs Tembe is on...and Al for some reason

In the fire engine one Daddy Pig is patronisingly dismissive of the Mummies Fire Service. Then the Daddies are stereotypically shit at barbecuing. Daddy Pig makes a slightly passive aggressive comment to Miss Rabbit at the end about her "kindly flooding the garden". Well put out your own barbecue fire then!! LOVE Ben and Holly. We have actually watched an episode when the DCs are in bed.

ready I'm a reasonably intelligent adult forced to inhabit these worlds on an incessant basis. I can't just abandon a toddler and a baby and lock myself away in silence to read Worthy Tomes. So I'm keeping my brain in practice for when that becomes possible again by analysing what little fodder I'm able to get my grubby neurons on.

Watch it enough and pretty much every comment above has a point!! I got the hump with the one where Mummy Pig was trying to work too. On Youtube there is a dubbed-over one where Daddy Pig is left with the kids and bodges up hanging a picture. It's worth watching just for the "shitballs" moment when he makes a hole in the wall. I think if that everytime I start getting annoyed by it.

I can jolly ds1 (3) out of a whingefest by telling him he's being Peppa. Or Norman Price.

The porcine --sandwich- brat is so vile to her brother we use her as an example of how not to treat baby ds2.

Ben & Holly is ace. Paw Patrol is shit but a little less obviously misogynistic. Bing is OK if you can stand Flop and everything being a fucking Bing Thing Blaze and the monster machines is brilliant and goes through all the proper scientific language although yet again most of the characters are male.

So glad my two are past watching anything like Peppa Pig and T and T!
I think The Night Garden was even more annoying though.

Are you lot not overthinking it a bit?

I DO quite like the fact that Miss Rabbit does just about every job going in Peppa Pig, though. She's in Daddy pig's office, she drives the train, the bus, etc etc. Well, she did when I last watched it which was about 6 years ago.

Laura we have to watch at least four or five hundred episodes of T&T a day too. Uuurrrrgghhhh. I hate Tony Welch and his smug arsed dad the most. So much so that DD has now started saying 'Urgh not you Tony, we really hate you' whenever he appears 😊

We don't allow Peppa pig in this house. I can't stand it. My 2 year old watches adventure time with her big brother And she likes my little pony. But that's about it. She doesn't tend to watch TV a lot. She's too busy wreaking havoc and making me chase her to sit still for any length of time.

Of course if mummy pig did have a penis it would be a curly corkscrew one. As she is a pig.

Why does a competent woman like mummy pig need daddy pig to rescue her from computer hell, especially given that daddy pig generally comes across as a bit of a buffoon

Oh ffs. One woman asks one man to help her with the computer. That only means that in that couple he is the one with better knowledge. If it was in my house it would be the other away around, the same as in many others.

Assuming that one female represents all of us is just as offensive as the idea that the point of it is that she can't fix the computer merely because she lacks a penis.

Laura I'd be dead-eyed too if I was married to that dick of a dad!

wax YES. And I have to watch it because DD loves T&T and their awful valium-popping dead-eyed mother.

SideOrder

I don't get it

My 2.8 year old loves PP, what can I wean her on to?!

I have to admit i do love Ben and Holly. DH and i think its got tha little bit of adult humours in it

'Oh no the twins have magicked the ueen away!'

'And all they left was her panties...."

Topsy and Tim is another one I hate for bloody gender stereotyping and general shitness.

at the*

I feel sorry for Daddy pig. Always picked on for being fat. And he's always useless and cocking things up and they laugh at him. "I am NOT grumpy!" I'd be bloody grumpy. Imagine if that was mummy pig.

To be fair when I had my daughter a year ago I was expecting children's TV to be so PC I would lose my rag. Turned out I was more annoyed and the still-there stereotypes lol.

I hate peppa pig. They are vile to each other.
I get rage at the episode where mummy pig is working and daddy pig is looking after the kids. The kids say let's go and see mummy and daddy pig lets them immediately. I would flip my lid if I were mummy pig in a 'for fucks sake I NEED to get this done. Can't you watch them for two fucking hours??? You get to actually GO to work to get your shit done.... rant rant rant'
And then there's the episode where they forget daddy pig and eat all the food. I would have had an eruption if it were me.
Oh oh oh and dumping all their kids on injured miss rabbit. If that were an aibu title : 'I have a foot injury, can't walk and everyone has brought their kids round for me to look after' would give unanimous support.
Horrid programme.
I'm glad dd has grown out of it.

It's an absolute awful show anyway. I think Peppa is a horrible spoiled brat and she can be a complete bully at times, especially towards her little brother. I also think it's terrible the way the whole family get a kick out of calling Daddy Pig fat, even when it clearly upsets him and he asks them to stop, they continue to say it and then just laugh at him.
As is probably clear from my mini rant, I can't stand the bloody pig and her family, not one bit.
Ben and Holly is pretty good though, even though it's clearly by the same people as Peppa Pig.
