No, it’s not a “Bing thing”

Twins currently self isolating.

DT1 is watching iPlayer on an iPad. He is obsessed with credits so he’s basically just picking programmes and watching the end of programmes over and over again. He’s found Bing.

“Making smoothies... it’s a Bing thing”
“Playing outside... it’s a Bing thing”
“Growing... it’s a Bing thing”

NO IT FUCKING ISN’T “A BING THING”.
IT’S JUST A THING.

Why is Bing so fucking special?

Sorry. I feel better now.

Do you remember when the little shite killed a butterfly in his big sausage fingers?

And Mark Rylance the termite was still all ‘oh dear Bing I’m afraid it’s gone to sleep forever!’ Not yelling ‘BING WHY HAVE YOU MURDERED A DEFENCELESS INSECT YOU LITTLE HORROR’ as I would have done.

Everyone is way too soft on Bing.

I can’t remember what they said at the end of that one.

Crushing monarch butterflies... it’s a Bing Thing Confused

We don’t actually watch Bing so I am mercifully unaware of the content. But after hearing 50 variations of “breathing... it’s a Bing thing” or whatever I am ready to set fire to my own ears.

Best ever bing thing is when he steps in dog shit

SmidgenofaPigeon · 26/01/2021 19:14

I’d count yourself lucky OP. He’s bloody infuriating. I’d have LOVED to only have to endure the closing credits!

My 4 year old would get incredibly angry at this too, 'IT'S NOT A BING THING, ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!' I know son, I know...

Hahahha

It's bad, but I absolutely hate a child bunny TV character. I'm infuriated every time it's on. I might ban my daughter from watching it..🤔😂

He's a whiny little shit and his (dad?) Flop just makes up shit excuses for him all the time and never tells him he's being a little bitch.

I've just watched one where he takes a lollipop from the shop and basically shoplifts. Flop is like "that's not yours, we need to go and pay for it". Translation "it's not shoplifting, it's just not yours, so let's go and pay for it so it is yours".

Shoplifting - it's a Bing thing.

(Ps I've needed to bitch about this as my husband doesn't care 😂 rant over)

Oh my God I hate that little fucker 🤣

Fuckadoodledoooo · 04/02/2021 06:43

Bing is a stupid little cunt.

MrsTweedy73 · 04/02/2021 06:49

And why is Pando always whipping his pants off???

Spudlet · 04/02/2021 07:22

‘Being a whiny little gobshite. It’s the only a Bing thing’

burritofan · 04/02/2021 07:27

Oh god DD has just discovered the whiney little git. He makes my slapping hand itch. (It’s OK to want to hit an animated bunny.) Flop needs a drop-kick into the fucking sun too

FruityPolos · 04/02/2021 07:29

I really hate how Bing's grammar is so bad and no one corrects him. I know he's supposed to be a little kid but I don't want my child to be taught to speak like a little kid, she can do that. Not that I am expecting the TV to teach my child how to speak, but you know what I mean.

Luckily my 4 year old has now developed some weird fear of Bing doing things wrong so we get to turn it over when he comes on cbeebies 😁

Spudlet · 04/02/2021 07:30

I read some parenting column or another one that said they asked themselves ‘What would Flop do’ (maybe it was a comment on here? Anyway, I digress) when their child misbehaved because Flop is so calm. No! Flop is raising a whinging nightmare who will drive his Reception teachers to drink! For the love of God, don’t do what Flop would do! Shock

hopscotchz · 04/02/2021 07:33

My son, now 5, says: whining, is a Bing thing. So proud Grin

N0ManJan · 04/02/2021 07:34

I’ve started putting it on to entertain DS while I tidy up/make dinner so I only heard bits and bobs and agree he is very whiny. I am absolutely horrified to learn that Bing is a thief and a murderer!!! I think we’ll stick to Duggee Grin

hopscotchz · 04/02/2021 07:35

I remember when he broke Flop’s phone and put it in the bin Shock Flop is either a saint or on heavy relaxing drugs!

WineInTheWillows · 04/02/2021 07:37

The grammar really gets me too. Kids do copy what they see on TV- my toddler started saying, 'yup'. Angry Seriously considering writing to the BBC about it.

I hate hope Bing gets the credit for everything. Bing messes up and upsets someone, the person he upsets is the bigger person and forgives him and it's still, 'Good for you, Bing Bunny,' then, added as an afterthought, 'And good for you too, person who actually did something commendable.'

I don't know what it is about rabbit characters, but Peter the kleptomaniac rabbit gets me too. Constantly steals stuff, then gets all uppity when other characters steal it from him (or even try to take it back) because, 'Hey, those are my...!' What sort of morality is that teaching?

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 04/02/2021 07:37

My favourite episodes are where pando winds up bing and bing gets upset. Take that you little shit.

WineInTheWillows · 04/02/2021 07:39

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam

My favourite episodes are where pando winds up bing and bing gets upset. Take that you little shit.
Except the swing episode, because Padget really bugs me. Why does she keep pushing Pando after he's outstayed his turn on the swing? And then she's all, 'Why did you run in front of the swing?' and 'When swings are swinging, they take time to stop,' in a patronising voice. It wasn't stopping, was it, because you kept pushing Pando!
Marley20 · 04/02/2021 07:39

Haha, both my boys have woken up and demanded Bing so they are now watching the little shit. I've escaped to the kitchen and checked MN and this is the first post I see. Little shit gets everywhere. It's practically in 24/7 in this house. I know ALL the episodes. DH doesn't help, he keeps telling me one day I'll watch my last episode of Bing, can't come soon enough!
