I hate Blippi

19 replies

IHateBlippii · 26/04/2023 15:59

I remember the first time I watched Blippi with DC years ago. Even though it was more or less educational I didn't enjoy it at all. I read about him later and ohhhh boy 😱I felt like vomitting . Since then I can't abide even watching him for a few minutes. He seems so insincere and just for the money. I know that my knowledge about his past might be colouring my view of him but I can't stand him. Now he's all-over Netflix 🙄

Oh he annoys me! My mum lets DS watch it, and he just irritates me so much!

peonypurple · 26/04/2023 16:21

I feel the same, especially after reading about those other videos he made! Grim

TeaAndTwoSugars · 26/04/2023 16:44

Yeah ever since i heard about the scat video I can't put it on 😳Always had a weird feeling about him.

@MariaRemindsMeOfAWestSideStory you can't really avoid him, can you? And he's so greedy that he is using a double to double his profits!

@peonypurple grim is an understatement.

@TeaAndTwoSugars 🤢 I feel like it's not even appropriate for children to be in his company. Sick mind.

3yo used to LOVE him but hasnt mentioned him for a while thankfully.

3yo just spotted the paw patrol movie on sky so I am thrilled he has found 1hr 24mins of something I can stand to be in the same room as him for.

He is awful! So so annoying!
Nearly as bad as Bing.

Acheybreakyhead · 26/04/2023 17:55

Blippi and his new replacement Bloppi who is even worse than the original

BetweenWhatAndWhat · 26/04/2023 19:33

He definitely seems like he's doing it for the money, and only for the money. There's no longer or charm to his content, it's polished and a formula that kids seem to like, but it's totally hollow. And annoying!

IHateBlippii · 27/04/2023 16:06

Just in case anyone of you doesn't already know, this is what he used to do before understanding that kids TV would be more lucrative:

...started making gross out videos in 2013 under the persona of Steezy Grossman.[3] In a 2013 video, [he] performed the Harlem shake on a toilet and defecated on a naked friend.[3][4] Wikipedia

🤢🤮

I cannot STAND him

mackthepony · 27/04/2023 16:09

Yes he's off my list

Urgh

Bring back daddy pig

MeinKraft · 27/04/2023 16:10

Put on Steve and Maggie instead. The bird is pretty annoying but it's quite educational.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 27/04/2023 16:12

Meh. It's gross but he has spoken about the Harlem shake video and says he regrets it, poor judgement etc.

I'm not really bothered about him being in it for the money. Isn't that what work is for? He has created a character kids like to watch. He gets paid for it. The character doesn't do or say anything inappropriate as far as I've seen? Not does he directly interact with children as far as any of the videos I've watched show.

He is definitely very annoying but that goes for most children's TV presenters!

I recall the fella saying the reason he created Blippi was because he saw nieces and nephews watching similar stuff on YouTube and he thought he could do better. Few people upload shows on social media these days for altruistic reasons = it's all about the $$$. He's an annoying bugger but he's better than shows created by parents seeking to make money off their kids doing silly skits.

itsmeisnti · 27/04/2023 16:17

@MeinKraft nooooo, not Steve and Maggie😭

Mutabiliss · 27/04/2023 16:20

What annoys me most is that he's clearly pretty thick - he doesn't understand or explain things properly, says he doesn't know what stuff is or laughs at things he doesn't understand. A decent presenter would stop filming and take the time to find out what they're talking about. I've no problem with him doing it for money, but don't half-arse it.

Unfortunately my son loves him at the moment, and every bloody sidebar video on Youtube is Blippi. I try to get him on Bounce Patrol instead.

Danikm151 · 27/04/2023 16:20

Steve and Maggie songs will stay in your head forever! It is educational though!

IHateBlippii · 27/04/2023 18:43

I love Steve and Maggie and I have no problem with my kids watching it. Steve seems genuine and a nice guy even though he does it for the money.

Being honest - I think Blippi is like a terrible parody of all the worst aspects of bad American kids TV. It has no charm, no honesty, no intelligence and no style, only a brainless attempt at inanity by a grown man who is either high as a kite or brain damaged.
