What in the actual hell?! 😳

When a woman in the show tells him that he should keep his penis in his pants, for instance, he listens. Which is nice. He is accountable.”

Well that’s good Hmm

Can just imagine paedophiles using this to groom children

Denmark doesn’t have a version of April Fools Day in January, does it? And the Guardian not realise that this is a joke? Grasping at straws here.

It does feel like is a joke doesn’t it! Struggling to believe that this could be an actual kids tv program

That is quite horrible. A man with no control over his penis, has to be told by a woman to put it away, nope I can't see the funny in normalising males exposing their genitals in public or indeed falling back on women being responsible for checking men's behaviour.

Mylittleturkeysandwich · 06/01/2021 12:21

Is this real? Or is Denmark a bit bored?

MedusasBadHairDay · 06/01/2021 12:22

I..uh.. no, no words

LaVitaPuoEsserePiuBella · 06/01/2021 12:23

I'm beyond speechless.
So children are being shown a "funny" man who exposes his penis in public??
Grooming in plain sight.

Nancylovesthecock · 06/01/2021 12:25

Sorry but that's hilarious. My DC would roar with laughter.

Though I don't think I could let them watch it as a decent parent.

CatVsChristmasTree · 06/01/2021 12:26

Ummm... WTAF?

Whatwouldscullydo · 06/01/2021 12:26

I dont know whether to laugh or cry...

sandandso · 06/01/2021 12:28

I don't understand the brass neck of the person who would have come up with and pitched this show.

IDontMindMarmite · 06/01/2021 12:28

Just think about the person that thought this up and why.

SoupDragon · 06/01/2021 12:29

I guess it's like Mr Tickle only worse!

What were they thinking??

I think anyone with any common sense at all would hope that to be the case.

The alternative is that enough adults actually thought this was an acceptable concept for a show aimed at children under 8, and not one of them questioned it and that thought is even more terrifying than the TV show.

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 06/01/2021 12:32

Seems like lockdown has sent Danish TV producers a bit mad Grin

Whatwouldscullydo · 06/01/2021 12:34

How many put their hands up do ya reckon when the producer asked " l need someone to help me keep this as realistic as possible who can help " ....

Mr Tackle?

Roger the Todger?

Proper weird - and not a little inappropriate.

MrsWooster · 06/01/2021 13:26

Well played, buffet!

tvsnacking · 06/01/2021 13:29

It is not a joke. It is for real Sad

Hurtandupset2 · 06/01/2021 13:33

What the fuck!?

I...I can't believe anyone could think this was appropriate for any child, let alone 4-8 year olds!!

Poor man can't control himself....so what's new?!
Normalising this to children, especially young girls, is a terrible idea....beyond terrible, actually.

I just have no words.

When is this madness going to end?

Snowisfallinghere · 06/01/2021 13:35

I think it depends how it's done, I mean kids love books about poos, farts, bums and toilets etc and this could just be a harmless extension of that toilet humor theme and maybe there's something positive they'll get across, who knows. I'm not defending it as I haven't seen it, but I like to keep an open mind.

picklemewalnuts · 06/01/2021 13:40

I can (just about) imagine a situation where this felt innocent and like a teaching opportunity. However, the potential for abuse is so glaringly obvious it's hard to imagine anyone developing the idea!
