Questions I have about Hey Duggee

164 replies

LisaSimpsonsbff · 21/09/2019 19:52

Is he a childminder? If so, I am concerned because his ratios are off, and also he is a dog.
Why are all the children animals apart from one who seems to be a lower-case 'r'?
Is Alexander Armstrong being sarcastic when he says at the end of the episode 'well that was fun, wasn't it Duggee?'
Why do I sometimes end up watching to the end of the episode even though my toddler never does? Also, where do I send off for all the badges I have thus accumulated?

Brilliant thread 😂

Why isn’t the sleep song available on YouTube, preferably in a loop? 😁

Is the shape badge the one where Roly has to put the ladybird in the right hole? I was creasing myself at that episode. The ladybirds have amazing voices.

@OrangeSwoosh I'm so with you. I wish bloody Bing would sod off and catch myxomatosis, but the little shit wouldn't be able to say that correctly either.

@cheerfulMuddler I'm now getting flashbacks to brownie meetings at our brown owls House and trying to figure out why

I so identified with duggee when I was a beaver leader

Celebelly · 21/09/2019 22:37

I read this recently and it cracked me up

Love heyduggee not just because it’s the only thing DD will sit quietly to watch

Ledehe · 21/09/2019 22:39

Love Hey Duggee. The cheese badge is such a homage (fromage?) to Stranger Things, its hilarious.

Flop is Bing's carer cos the parents are working all the time. That's why everything in the house is too big for flop, its designed for Bing's giant rabbit parents

I bloody love Ben and holly. My favourite line is

‘Oh no! The queen has disappeared. And all that’s left is her panties’

Geminiwitch22 · 21/09/2019 22:43

@Celebelly that's pretty twisted....
(My father was a postman)
Hey duggee awesome show for kids.
Bing omg had nightmares from it, but yeah the set up in that is pretty weird especially the "daycare" only the kids they know are in the class?

QueenOfCatan · 21/09/2019 22:53

Duggee is amazing. "in a minute minute minute!" is often said in this house, the 2yo is often heard saying "nigel!" in her role playing games too Grin

One of dd1s little friends is called Stephen and I have to concentrate to stop myself shouting his name a la Roly.

Now Sarah and duck I have questions about. I have dark theories about that show but the narrator must be the father, right?!

EternallyGrapefruit · 21/09/2019 23:06

I have dark theories

Please share immediately.

taytosandwich · 21/09/2019 23:11

God I love Hey Duggee. Thankfully DS shares my passion and responds enthusiastically when I buy him load of Duggee shit merchandise eg bed covers, slippers etc. Roly is my absolute favourite. YELLOW!

RHTawneyonabus · 21/09/2019 23:19

If this is a branch of scouting then he’s seriously fucking up. Where’s your risk assessments Dougie? Your adult to child ratio? And the hugging is v inappropriate.

QueenOfCatan · 21/09/2019 23:35

@eternallygrapefruity main one is that Sarah lives in a post apocalyptic world or she is in a coma and that the world that she had created in her mind is her coping mechanism, which explains why it is so weird.
My goals in life are basically to grow up to be scarf lady though, she is somewhat brilliant.

@taytosandwich "BRILLIANT YELLOW!"

partysong · 21/09/2019 23:41

I bloody love you lot

EternallyGrapefruit · 22/09/2019 00:11

We do all right for a bunch of responsible adults on the internet at midnight, don't we? Grin

Cattenberg · 22/09/2019 00:26

I love the tadpoles. And the one where a ghost gets chased by an angry bull.

I wish someone could explain what the hell is going on in the Night Garden. DD seems to get it. Yesterday, we were watching it and a thing flew over that looked like a cross between a fish, an aeroplane and a funfair organ.

Me: What is THAT?

DD (looking at me as though I’m stupid): Pinky ponk!

Tobebythesea · 22/09/2019 02:31

Nigel? Nigel? Pay attention Nigel!!

I’m going on a gap ya.

I love Hey Duggee!

Tobebythesea · 22/09/2019 02:35

Oh, and....

Steven!!!!! Love Roly

Bringonspring · 22/09/2019 02:57

Jassyradlet- the ‘it’s fucking dark when you think about it’ comment had me in stitches

MummyG85 · 22/09/2019 07:30

I always thought flop was some kind of flannel.. or a knitted creature. How come there are baby flannels but you never ever see their parents. Not even pictures.
Was there some sort of illness that made the parents morph in to these things and bing, Zola and pando are the last of the original species?? From now on they will all be flannels...
