To think Peppa Pig is a spoilt brat!!

Ok so I know it's not real it's just a cartoon, but I think the way Peppa speaks to adults and her general attitude is awful, she answers back and never seems to get told off!

Ben and Holly however are very polite and I have to confess (I love watching it) my kids love it!

Which children's tv do you love/hate?

Disclaimer I do NOT advocate violence against children. Or pigs. Or cartoon pigs. Or cartoon pig children.

I'm a veggie, but id make an exception for peppa.

Don't you think Peppa learns any lessons about sharing/politeness/manners etc though? A bit harder to show these things if the character is impeccably-behaved already.

broodyandpoor · 16/08/2012 17:30

No because the children miss the moral of the story and remember the bad behaviour, the moral is always way too subtle and there just to keep the parents sweet.

Im also adding everythings rosie to the list. I dont understand the relationships in this bloody program. Who are the adults? WTFFFFFF!!!!

I tried to ask ExDP last night bt he looked at me like ive gone mental Hmm

I agree about peppa pig being a brat! She has a lot to answer for in this house Wink. I do prefer Ben and holly but my DSis once pointed out that holly speaks annoyingly slowly and now I really notice it so that's becoming increasingly annoying! I also think it has undertones of racism(?) between the fairies and elves and king thistle is a twunt.

nanny plum is miss rabbit

puds11 · 16/08/2012 17:36

Yeah that one nearly blew my head!

GnocchiNineDoors · 16/08/2012 17:36

Can I add In the Night Garden.

So awful I could do.a whole thread on it.

puds11 · 16/08/2012 17:37

Also, why is it that Mrs Rabbit appears to have about a thousand different jobs? Shes either really good at multi tasking, or gets fired a lot.

KellyElly · 16/08/2012 17:38

Angelina Ballerina is very annoying and a bit of a brat :)

broodyandpoor · 16/08/2012 17:39

I watched this hilarious episode of peppa, on youtube, with the kids that I nanny for, the other day, there was this lady showing the children lots of different animals in the class room she had SUCH a funny voice, which one is that?

Pastabee · 16/08/2012 17:40

YANBU but I much prefer Peppa Mike the Knight. He is an arrogant little tosser.

omfgkillmenow · 16/08/2012 17:40

omfgkillmenow · 16/08/2012 17:43

broody the vet is Dr hamster?

broodyandpoor · 16/08/2012 17:47

YES oh thanks so much oh her voice cracks me up so much!!
Every one should watch that episode.

Kayano · 16/08/2012 17:48

I'm not letting dd watch it as she gets bigger and people are banned from buying her PP stuff lol

CanoeSlalom · 16/08/2012 17:48

If Peppa was a male character would she still be "spoilt brat" or "typical boy"?

Agree Mike the Knight isn't great, with no interesting female characters.

Lingo Show hardly has any language in it at all, it's all noisy bells-and-whistles.

Kayano · 16/08/2012 17:49

I love in the night garden. DH says its like crack for babies lol
