They are just so cuddly rather than just daft.

(Are you watching Snow Babies?)

I like both. They are adorable!

FivesGoldNorks · 19/12/2012 20:30

Why thank you.
Oh, that doesn't work since I name changed

peaceandlovebunny · 19/12/2012 20:31

there's no chocolate on a polar bear.

Mrsrudolphduvall · 19/12/2012 20:31

Glad someone else is watching this!
We are sitting here going aahh!!
Beats dd telling me to fuck off.

RedToothbrush · 19/12/2012 20:32

I might be...

I'm torn between which is the cutest. I think the polar bears just edge it.

DH is trying to make the point that if penguins ever got clever humans would be screwed by their armies.

I'm seeing a marketing opportunity here....

We're going ahh while the 3 DC are rolling and jumping round the floor reenacting the behaviour - DS is giving a Jonny Morris talkover and DD is asking everyone to shut up as she actually wants to listen!

TheMysteryCat · 19/12/2012 20:36

Yabvvvvu!

Penguins are the funniest creatures. Utterly adorable, much more so than a baby bear with sore feet!

Pffft!

ROFL Moose Xmas Grin

CajaDeLaMemoria · 19/12/2012 20:37

Yes, I think your DH might be right.

I'm on my own. I'm strangely nervous tonight. I was on the edge of my seat hoping that that little penguin didn't die....

It needs David Attenborough though. He's amazing.

RedToothbrush · 19/12/2012 20:45

Caja, I think you and my DH are really on the same wavelength. He said at the start of the programme that you know a Brit cos they complain whenever a natural history comes on and its not David Attenborough!

Baby polar bears are incredibly cute.

Fully grown ones always disappoint me as they look a bit fierce and grubby against the snow.

Penguins are funny.

Did he listen to Bleak Expectations a week or two ago? I'm sure Gently Benevolent did something very Evil with penguins didn't he?

Allonsy · 19/12/2012 20:55

Loving the programme, animals are cleverer than people think and i think i want a snow monkey ;)

SomeTiggyPudding · 19/12/2012 21:06

Penguins are cool!

If all animals were in bands then the penguins would play ROCK, with guitars with flames on!!

Polar bears would play folk music or prog rock, which isn't really rock at all.

pleasestoparguing · 19/12/2012 21:33

But polar bears live in your freezer and comment on your food - is that cool or is that just a bit weird ? I don't like chocolate biscuits though.

SomeTiggyPudding · 19/12/2012 21:37

They also smugly sit on mints and tease foxes.

pleasestoparguing · 19/12/2012 21:42

cool cool polar bears on mints you're so right definitely more cool than those waddle waddle penguins - though i am slightly convinced by the rock star thing- although perhaps polar bears would be more like crooners - Frank Sinatra perhaps - now there's a whole different type of cool.

DeWe · 19/12/2012 21:42

But the EPF beats Herbert every time. Confused

RedToothbrush · 19/12/2012 21:44

The Birds Eye Polar Bear is creepy as fuck. He has a sinister voice and he spies on you. I think hes a wolf in bears clothing though.

MamaWomanAha · 19/12/2012 21:45

Do you mean cool like the old cresta polar bear?

pleasestoparguing · 19/12/2012 21:58

Oh yes cresta polar bear definitely cool - I think generally polar bears are winning on the stakes so far....

cumfy · 19/12/2012 22:00

PINGU

RedToothbrush · 19/12/2012 22:10

Are using Pingu as an argument for or against the penguins?

And all you slagging off the polar bears, I DARE you to say that to a polar bears face.
