Kids TV characters you’d slap if you could?

We’ve just started watching Fireman Sam here so this thread has been inspired by Norman Price. What a wanker.

I can’t work out if it’s more or less painful than Paw Patrol. Why does an entire town (including it’s Mayor?!?!) need to be continuously saved by a ten year old boy?

I can never get behind the Bing hate personally.

So… Kids TV characters you’d slap if you could?

Bing and most of his friends

Namechangenumber23 · 10/06/2022 10:15

All of the Fimbles and Tweenies. Rely Mo can do one as well

My boy loves Paw Patrol LOL.

I'd slap Peppa and her entire family...

Lolly1987 · 10/06/2022 10:20

Flop from Bing winds me up. What even is he meant to be? Looks like some kind of knitted peanut and why is he so small?

BiscuitLover3678 · 10/06/2022 10:22

I don’t actually mind Bing.

I find the older baby shows worse. Paw patrol, Octonauts, so so whiny and boring. Paw Patrol has a horrible theme tune.

PrancerandDancer · 10/06/2022 10:23

Literally came on to say Bing... The little grot bag!

Completely agree about naughty Norman.... Such an annoying kid!

Twizbe · 10/06/2022 10:28

I saw this and immediately thought of Bing. Though my 5 year old asked me why Flop is bigger than Bing the other day ... he's seen the light.

ImustLearn2Cook · 10/06/2022 10:30

I couldn’t stand Bing, that whining voice. Arrrrrg!!!!

peachgreen · 10/06/2022 10:32

Always Bing. Always. But also Holly from Ben and Holly. And Nanny fucking Plum. And the entire cast of Peppa Pig. God, I hate those programmes.

3amAndImStillAwake · 10/06/2022 10:35

I opened this thread to say Norman Price.

MrsReeves · 10/06/2022 10:43

Came here to say bing and it seems I'm not the only one 🤣 Also, Mr fucking Tumble and all the Tumble family

Squiff70 · 10/06/2022 10:45

Fucking BING! I absolutely LOATHE that programme and refuse to let my toddler see a single second of it! It teaches children DREADFUL language skills and that all stroppiness and meltdowns are a totally normal response to EVERYTHING. I did watch one episode when my daughter was a baby and thankfully too young to watch herself, and it was an episode about potty training. Fair enough, except numerous ridiculous phrases were used, like "I wetted my pants". Yes, I realise young children can use words like those until they learn the correct terms, but if they are taught the correct terms from a very young age, they won't need correcting as much.

Ditto Peppa Pig. Annoying, entitled little brat belongs in a frying pan, on a butty with brown sauce.

MrsReeves · 10/06/2022 10:45

I've wound myself up now thinking about what a whiny little shit bing is 🤣

Parky04 · 10/06/2022 10:47

Bagpuss. Would kick them as well!

Justme10 · 10/06/2022 10:49

Yep bing and peppa for me as well, can't stand them!

I do love paw patrol though Grin

Squiff70 · 10/06/2022 10:53

Oh God yes, Mr Tumble. I'm sure nobody can possibly be that happy and upbeat IRL unless they are very unwell. DD's nursery asked if she watches Mr Tumble the other day and I confess a little laugh/snort slipped out before I answered that no, she did not watch Mr Tumble.

Can I give Raa-Raa the Noisy Lion a mention too? The programme can be quite cute with semi-interesting storylines but OMG THE VOICES. So annoying!

In this house we live and breathe Hey Duggee. It's literally the only programme for pre-schoolers I've seen that we genuinely like. Some episodes are the work of geniuses - especially the Yoga Badge!

Lou98 · 10/06/2022 10:55

Blippi! Can't stand him but my little boy loves it

ReeseWitherfork · 10/06/2022 12:59

The theory in this house is that Flop is a beanbag.

Because the entire premise of Bing is ‘overcoming obstacles’ unfortunately he has to whine. And I think that’s why I forgive him.

I’ve never watched Peppa or Blippi… but there’s a reason I’ve avoided them!!

I’m taking the Mr Tumble hate hard!!! And I’m baffled anyone could be annoyed by the Octonauts. Apart from the pirate cat… he’s annoying.

@Squiff70 Have you watched Bluey? Also, there’s a Netflix show about Puffins which is quite good!

Krustykrabpizza · 10/06/2022 13:02

Bing. No problem with anyone else

Algarythmnmadness · 10/06/2022 13:06

another vote for Bing

however we adore Duggee, Bluey & Numberblocks

Squiff70 · 10/06/2022 13:11

@ReeseWitherfork Yes I've watched Bluey. It's okay I guess. Still trying to get my head around the fact that Bluey is, apparently, female.

Vampirethriller · 10/06/2022 13:12

Fucking Bing.
And everybody in Biff and Chip.
And Andy, the gurning twonk.

Garfieldismyspiritanimal · 10/06/2022 13:12

I came on to say Norman price

and bloody Bing and Flop

Lolly1987 · 10/06/2022 13:14

Bing has loads of theories. One of them is that they're all dead and in limbo, not that makes any sense.
