I've realised why Bing is so annoying

Sure it's when his ears go floppy and all the others (including the poor other kids) need to pander to him.

But it's actually the words I hate!! Hoppity voosh? Rainybows, poikything. Argh!!

I fucking hate Bing.

That is all

@TheyreTheSamePicture

Mine are a bit older now so Bing doesn’t go on anymore; but I HATED the one where Bing went on the swing, took his turn, then Pando went on. But took ages to get off - WITH PADGET STILL PUSHING him so of course he stayed on for ages. Bing understandably got pissed off and ran in front of the swing and got a kick in the tits for his trouble - and then Padget has the audacity to say in the most patronising tone ever, ‘Why did you run in front of the swing, Bing?’ Errr because you enabled your Panda child to take the piss and not let Bing have his turn?

It really makes me seethe. Typing this out is bringing back the anger I need to go sit down

This is hilarious!

Omg, I also hate Sula’s smuggy tone when she’s says ‘he’s ok’, like Flop is overreacting.

I used to find Bing bearable, but now even a few seconds of it gets on my tits. Bing marding around demanding everyone take on board and pander to his every ickle problem, Flop, passively and glacially whispering around him, the big girl rabbit who only has one volume and tone of voice, pando- he’s so ‘querkyyyy’.

LadyR77 · 09/09/2021 13:09

I was so glad when DS outgrew his love of Bing! The episode where he broke Flop's phone and hid it in the bin, then Flop was totally fine and relaxed about it "Oh it's no big thing"! Gah! It bloody is a big thing, you stupid peanut creature!

powershowerforanhour · 09/09/2021 13:21

Add me to the Bing haters. I think it's the stupid twee expressions as the OP noted. Like an adult's idea of how a child would talk. Bluey and Bingo are voiced by children and they are not fecking annoying.

powershowerforanhour · 09/09/2021 13:30

Yes to the sexism in children's TV generally and the main character/leader being male. And also generically English middle class sounding where there are a range of characters - why do Peter Rabbit (male, leader type), Benjamin (male, absent minded science geek) and Lily (token female, organised mummy type) all sound like this but Jemima thicko Puddleduck, Mr thicko bumpkin Brock and Mrs Hedgehog who never takes off her apron or goes further than her washing line have regional accents. Apart from the fox who is the obligatory posh English bastard.

Metallicalover · 09/09/2021 13:34

Haha I love this thread! Another bing disliker here!!

Mirrorpalm · 09/09/2021 13:38

It teaches them awful grammar and behaviour. I took the tactic of pointing out how awful Bing is and in the end my daughter was like ‘he’s so whiny, stupid Bing’. Job done

Mirrorpalm · 09/09/2021 13:40

God reading this has raised my blood pressure. I am ANGRY at that little shit all over again and I’ve not seen it for years

SethWho · 09/09/2021 13:45

@whiskersonkittenss

I hate Sula. The opening credits when Bing falls over and says he's okay, she then has to repeat that he's okay like she is the fucking oracle.
Yes! I can not even explain how much that annoys me. Flop and Ama are sleeping together, right?
organicapricot · 09/09/2021 13:49

My DD 2.5 is not a fan. When he comes on cbeebies I get 'no watch that' Grin
I'm thankful as I agree he's a whiny piece of work.

HunterAngel · 09/09/2021 13:51

I fecking hate Bing. Turned it on once or twice, looking for a non Peppa Thomas the TE alternative and switched off before the programme ended. It’s creepy! What is flop supposed to be? The responsible adult? Some messed up Jimmy Cricket wannabe? Ugh. I’ll just watch the steam team save the day for the millionth time.

Horizons83 · 09/09/2021 13:54

Due to previous comments like on Bing we have steered clear in this house so far. Octonauts and Clangers only until DD learns how to use the remote control herself rather than forcefully putting it in my hand when she doesn't like what's on!

MimiSunshine · 09/09/2021 14:08

I stole this from a mummy blogger on fb. Sums Bing up nicely…

Where are Bings parents?
Where are ALL of their parents?!!!
What the fuck is Flop?
Is he Bings dad? Childminder? Carer? Teacher? Invisible friend? A talking beanbag?!
Why is everything in Bings house made for someone bigger than him? Do his parents live there and we just don't see them or hear about them? Or do they design these houses to last each child right through to when they've grown up?
What happens to the flops then? Do they get old? Do they move on to another child?
Do the flops and Pagets of this land mate with each other? Because Flop wants a piece...
Are the speaking-saggy-sacks designed to look like the child they look after? (Flop looks like a bunny, amma looks like an elephant.) Apart from pignose Paget. Did she adopt Pando or step in after his panda-looking carer person/thing let him run riot and lead a life of chaos and nudity?
Is there another world full of grown up animals who have the babies and then send them to Flop and his friends to raise in some weird messed up beanbag world?!
Coco and Charlie are siblings... so this isn't a one time thing. Their parents spawned again! At it like rabbits, but where are they?! Where is their house?!
And WHO the hell does Charlie and Coco's nanny-beanbag think she is?! Dropping them off like that and driving off with her phone. I hope they don't pay her to look after them because she never bloody does...lazy cow.
Why the hell do they have carrot ice cream as standard there?
Where's flops or the parents bedrooms? We never see any other door or room. Does Flop sleep?! Or does he just stare at Bing all night?
Paget and her twirling, whistling and lollipop-keeping issues. She's away with the fairies. Where's Pando when she's working and jogging around?! Doing circles on the floor somewhere in his pants I imagine....
Why is Sula not massive given she's an elephant and he's a rabbit? How do I explain to my son that he'll never see a rabbit and an elephant giving each other a hug in real life because one is likely to step on the other and squish it by mistake? (Much like the infamous butterfly episode of Bing. Don't get me started....he should be in jail.)
Can Flop put himself in the washing machine? Is he tumbledryer safe?
Are the carer-beanbags on drugs? Because they never seem to get angry at these very irritating kids. I mean, Bing is just a massive moaning mcmoaner, Pando shouldn't be let loose on the public, Sula is a stubborn little madam, and Coco is basically just a bossy bunny-bitch.
Charlie. (Breath....). Cute. So cute. But how can Flop look after him? He looks like he'd struggle to lift a Bar of Dairy Milk, let alone a baby twice his size. If Charlie needs picking up or carrying out the pram.... does he just fall out and hope for the best?
He threw your phone in the bin flop. I'm all for gentle parenting, but seriously? Nothing? Not even a frown?
Whyyyyyyy do they have a cat?! Why are cats not evolved enough to talk and have beanbag carers? Dogs too! Why didn't you get chosen too? What happened to you?!!! Who failed you?! Why are you being punished in this way? Talk to me Arlo!!
Where did the guy who works on the bridge get that Liverpudlian/Irish accent?!
Pando's shorts. Why? Just... why?
And lastly, and most importantly I feel...

Where. The. Hell. Does. Amma. Come. From.

Is it Jamaica? Newcastle? Scotland? Nigeria?!!

I don't know what you're saying Amma!! Even Bing takes the piss out of you when you tell him to 'for-cus...'. We can't for-cus Amma because we are still trying to figure out what you said so.... yeah. I'm done with you, you creepy little heffalump.

How am I supposed to carry on with my life when these questions haunt me and I'm just meant to accept 'it's A Bing thing?! '

🤔😳🙈😧

'Round the corner, not far away....Mummy's losing her shit today!'

Sunshineonarainydayy · 09/09/2021 14:23

"Flop and Ama are sleeping together, right?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂

InnPain · 09/09/2021 15:11

I’ve got such horrendous toothache and I’ve come back onto this thread because it’s making me laugh and cheering me up. I can sense the utter hatred for Bing in some of these posts 🤣

duckiemonster · 09/09/2021 15:33

I don't have children and I've never seen this programme but this thread is making me want to seek out an episode and watch it!

You don't need to watch a whole episode, a minute and a half will suffice.

Narutocrazyfox · 09/09/2021 15:58

I can't stand Bing because he's a whiny little git. And it stresses me out how the 'adults' are weird little sack creatures? It's so bloody weird (and I grew up with trapdoor and the magic roundabout, haha)

dryasaboner · 09/09/2021 16:11

Bloody whining little shit. That girl rabbit thing is a total show off as well. But I can't despise them anywhere near as much as peppa pig. Self obsessed selfish nasty moany brat. Please turn her into Billy bear I beg

FuckingFabulous · 09/09/2021 16:12

I hate that everything is "a Bing thing."

Using the toilet- it's a bing thing!
Washing your hands- it's a bing thing!
Going to bed- it's a bing thing!

The fuck it is not. It is a universal thing! I remember my little boy telling me he didn't want to feel dizzy when we played because that was a bing thing, and he didn't like him.

dryasaboner · 09/09/2021 16:14

@InnPain

I do agree that he’s whiney but isn’t that the point of the show. The way Flop deals with each scenario so patiently and explains things really well to Bing etc. I quite enjoy it.
It's so unrealistic though. I have tried talking to my son like that when on one and it just progresses to throwing himself on the floor and screaming until he vomits. Every time
Amz6219 · 09/09/2021 16:16

I have never really paid that much attention to it, but a bit I caught I saw him putting Soulla's shoes in the toilet and I said nooooooo this is going straight off!

dryasaboner · 09/09/2021 16:20

My son trumped whilst watching it once and proudly announced 'farting- it's a Bing thing'

MuchTooTired · 09/09/2021 16:21

I fucking detest Bing. He’s a whiney spoilt little shit!

My children no longer watch bing. Just to be on the safe side, we’ve stopped watching CBeebies completely (I also hate Justin and his many shows).
