Cocomelon

My toddler is obsessed with Cocomelon.

Anyone else find it incredibly irritating?

The dad...I have no words.

I fucking hate it. It's like crack to my DD

The songs are shite. The dad has the biggest hands I've ever seen. The kids all have ridiculous names. I can't figure out if the baby JJ is an advanced toddler or not as he's in a cot/potty training, etc but manages to function with recognising letters, tying shoes, and dancing to the doh re mi song...

I go to bed with "peas, peas, it's time to eat your peas" going round and round in my head

The CIA needs to rethink its torture techniques. Water boarding has nothing on cocomelon

NuffSaidSam · 02/08/2021 14:55

It's the absolute worst. Worse than any other kids TV.

But they love it so much!

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 02/08/2021 15:00

I hate it because the songs are terrible and the entire family is annoying.

mynameiscalypso · 02/08/2021 15:03

It is the cause of many meltdowns in our house. I have a permanent medley of songs in my head which drive me bananas.

IncludeWomenInThePrequel · 02/08/2021 15:05

Never heard of it but did quite the double take when I thought this was on the Baby Names board Grin

HeReWeGoAgAiN1112 · 02/08/2021 15:09

I HATE IT!

savemejebus · 02/08/2021 15:11

Me and my husband spent a looooooong 6 hour drive to our holiday destination with our little one playing "Skidamarink" on repeat....🤮🤮

Also, the one where all the adults get up in the middle of the night to eat ice cream/chocolate/etc and the kids catch them - the grandad definitely has aggression issues.

Vom.

Could be worse - my DC has moved on to irritating Masha and the sodding Do-gooder Bear with its odd English dubbing.

Chiffandbip · 02/08/2021 15:11

I hate it and DD has loved it since she was very small. HOW do the designers know what small children will be addicted to? It’s awful!

SuddenArborealStop · 02/08/2021 15:11

It's just background noise to me now, it barely registers , there's way worse versions of all the songs on YouTube.
I can't cope with the Johnny Johnny song though it encourages greed and lying.

savemejebus · 02/08/2021 15:12

@HeReWeGoAgAiN1112 I get the impression you feel quite strongly about this topic GrinGrin

absolutehush · 02/08/2021 15:15

It's so awful. Especially the one song about the little girl wanting to grow up to be like mummy - cue a montage of cleaning/cooking childcare.

And the song about a fucking bicycle made for two can die.

Twizbe · 02/08/2021 15:30

My DD loves it too. It's so annoying. The gender stereotypes are terrible too.

Bloatstoat · 02/08/2021 15:34

What is even worse is Little Angel, a complete cocomelon rip off which has Baby John instead of JJ. Thanks, kids YouTube algorithm for that one. DD is obsessed with the BooBoo song and another one where baby John is taken ill but sadly recovers

Greenbuttonsbluebuttons · 02/08/2021 15:37

I know this isn’t aibu but YANBU! It’s tedious.

Danikm151 · 02/08/2021 15:38

I was happy my son wasn’t bothered by cocomelon- then nursery came along.
It’s so fricking annoying. American accents and slightly wrong tunes. I swear it’s got subliminal messages to draw little kids in

Starjammer · 02/08/2021 15:39

Eating sugar? No, Papa. Telling lies? No, Papa.

Open your mouth ...

HAHAHAAAAA.

Kill me.

pinkgin85 · 02/08/2021 15:43

Thank fully my toddler hates coco melon, but we listen to a lot of little baby bum instead Grin

Pootles34 · 02/08/2021 15:46

The mother is so irritating - those ridiculous gasps she makes all the time make me want to poke my own eyes out.

firstimemamma · 02/08/2021 15:49

The second post on this thread is absolutely spot on!

Ds adores cocomelon but I hate it, as do my friends. One friend of mine described the patents as 'annoyingly peppy' which I bloody agree with!

Why does JJ go to tae kwon do classes despite still looking like a baby? Why are the parents always SO happy?!

The laughing song. There are no words.

BirdyBee · 02/08/2021 15:56

The some things cooking in the kitchen song and my dd loves the jellybean bloody hamster song in the pre school, almost every day we have it on....

Oh, I have to watch cocomelon because of my work. I detest that one where the kids try to conceal the fact that they are eating and then the adults respond by calling the children liars and shame them into showing them what they have in their mouths... Talk about setting children up with food issues and potentially eating disorders.

🎶 Down by the BAY WHERE THE WATERMELONS GROW ... 🎶

did you ever see a fox putting on socks down by the bay?

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 02/08/2021 17:10

Its awful, but DS almost 3 loves it. Try looloo kids, its a bit better, but not by much!!

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 02/08/2021 17:16

I actually quite like it, better than pinkfong or bloody peppa pig. Plus anything that keeps grumpy dd happy is alright by me. ( can't help shouting at the tv when the booboo song is on and dad hurts his thumb though. seriously it's not that bad, suck it up)

Pongo101 · 02/08/2021 17:23

I agree cocomelon is awful yet on at least 3 times a week in our house.

The song that drives me most mad is a little baby bum song though. The one that goes "there are no monsters that live here.

Well the way you sing it makes me think that in fact there ARE monsters living here now. The intonation is all wrong and the song just sounds like a massive cover up.
