DS is making me sit through it now... And FFS why does that child insist on SHOUTING?

Am I missing something "entertaining" about this? Confused

God, mine love it. It makes me feel a bit sick, all that "goggy geeyah!" business.

It's the fact that it's always the same 2 songs that bothers me. The writers are having a laugh.

scrappydappydoo · 03/10/2011 14:16

Loathe it especially as its prompted my two to start to speaking in stupid baby language

YouDoTheMath · 03/10/2011 14:20

I don't like it either - although I think my DD does.

Still, could be worse. Could be Nisha and her inanimate panda friends

BeyondLimitsOfTheLivingDead · 03/10/2011 14:22

I hate it. Baby Jake reminds me of Saddam Hussein in South Park...

5BottlesOfShampoo · 03/10/2011 14:23

I don't think I've seen that recently... But nope... Baby Jake makes even Justin fucking Fletcher feel bearable...

I hate it and thankfully so do the kids.

YouDoTheMath · 03/10/2011 14:37

Beyond You've hit the nail on the head - it's that weird twitchy animation Grin

Pinkglow · 03/10/2011 15:26

My son LOVES it. He sings the songs to himself all day long and when it comes on he runs around the room shouting 'its baby Jake, its baby Jake'

I think its werid myself

EauRouge · 03/10/2011 15:30

I think it's weird too. DD1 loves it though. I do like the bit at the end when baby Jake is lying on the sofa with his big brother, desperately trying to latch onto his nose Grin

Pinkiemum · 03/10/2011 15:30

I hate it too, I have to go out of the room when it is on, actually I find a lot of the cbeebies shows really annoying especially all the put on voices, why do they have to make childrens shows so annoying for parents?

happywheezer · 03/10/2011 15:31

She(The mother) looks awfully young and happy to be having 10 kids.

bringmesunshine2009 · 03/10/2011 15:35

DS loves it, agreed happy wheezer that was what I said :). DS has started copying the bit where the brothers cuddle at the end and cuddles up to DS2 on the playmat, which is lovely. Other than that-freaky, baby operating way outside of his milestones!

beakinthebeeswax · 03/10/2011 15:37

My DS loves it, it seems to cast a spell on him! IMO baby jake is a really cute baby Smile

Twunk · 03/10/2011 15:41

I love it am a massive fan cos it gives me 10 minutes peace as the DSs are entranced.

msbuggywinkle · 03/10/2011 15:44

I take it that this isn't the thread to admit that it made me cry the first time I watched it then?

5BottlesOfShampoo · 03/10/2011 16:03

The baby is cute, yes. It's everything else about the blardy show that drives me crazy.

Also thought the mother looks too young to have ten kids. The show is hardly a flagship for contraception, either... VERY irresponsible of cbeebies.. Grin

YANBU, its crap, weird, and seriously creepy. Not to mention incredibly irritating. DD2 loved it initially, but seems to have decided it's mince now. Thank god.

HeidiKat · 03/10/2011 16:33

What is the name of the child at the start whose name starts with G, I can't catch what that child is saying and it irritates me every time it's on. The one who thinks he is a tree.

BabeRuthless · 03/10/2011 19:36

I've never understood why adults complain about kids programmes. It'd be like me getting ds to watch Downton Abbey & then acting surprised when he doesn't like it.

Having said that, I think Zingzillas is a good ten minutes too long.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 03/10/2011 19:38

I really really hate it and the worst bit is when they show his wiggling bottom. For some reason that creeps me out.

YouDoTheMath · 03/10/2011 20:55

Heidi it always sounds like Jimmy to me, but then I've never seen Jimmy spelt with a G...

LillyTheMinx · 03/10/2011 20:58

DD loves Baby Jake. She laughs her head off when she`s watching.
