To think that Peppa Pig is the work of the devil?

Before having kids I assumed that it was a harmless cartoon.

Boy, was I wrong

If it's not bad enough that they look like poorly drawn male genitalia, it's the simple fact that Peppa is a narcissistic psychopath. She bullies her brother and her friends, and has a greatly overinflated sense of her own importance and abilities which is never challenged.

She is rude; never says please or thank you, mocks poor daddy pig and bullies him over his weight. She has lied and broken things - there are NEVER consequences to her poor behaviour. They just all roll about laughing. Lying is not funny!!!

George just needs to be made into sausages.

Mummy stays home and looks after the house whilst daddy works - do me a favour!!!

I don't want my child to think it's ok to have no manners, to be a liar, and to never have any consequences for poor behaviour.

AIBU to ban Peppa Pig from this house??

YANBU, but I love Peppa Pig. You might want to start ensuring that horrid Henry never crosses your threshold, because it only gets worse.

mytittifershavesungtheirlastso · 18/06/2014 20:32

I can't stand her either. She is a total brat (as is George, crying as soon as he doesn't get his own way). Make them into sausages I say.

I am however taking dd to pp world next week heretic .apparently they play the theme tune on a loop, oh the horror.

I find it less annoying than Ben and Holly. We don't watch much TV though, so I've no worries that DS will start behaving like Peppa!

DottyDooRidesAgain · 18/06/2014 20:46

I have issues with Nanny Murray. More s than the walking bacon butty Angry

PickledSprout · 18/06/2014 20:50

She definitely says "please" and "thank you" and mummy pig does work too.

Mike the Knight however is a spoilt brat!

TwosaCrowd · 18/06/2014 21:09

You are wrong, Peppa Pig is awesome. My DH has a picture of daddy pig as his FB profile picture Grin

Arsebadger · 18/06/2014 21:11

Who's Nanny Murray?

DottyDooRidesAgain · 18/06/2014 21:15

She is a scary ass babysitter who no loving parent in their right mind would leave their kids with I'm convinced she is a crack whore Grin

givehimaninch · 18/06/2014 21:15

Miss Rabbit is rather inspirational!

jerryfudd · 18/06/2014 21:17

You have to admire miss rabbits work ethic though

Sister77 · 18/06/2014 21:18

Omg! I started a thread a while ago re grandpa and grandma pig bring toxic in laws to daddy pig!
Sorry I don't know how to link!
But I did say that mummy and daddy pig will pay George's mortgage, pay for his wedding and look after his kids.
Peppa will want their attention and will end up posting on MN AIBU and we will all tell her she ibu and she needs to grow up and stop being needy!

MikeTheShite · 18/06/2014 21:21

huh hum....^^

I detest Mike the shite Knight

monkeymamma · 18/06/2014 21:50

I liked PP until I noticed how freaking much those pigs LAUGH. And not just when something's funny, ho no, all the time, for no blardy reason. Once you notice it's really freaky. Also the anti-intellectualism (Edward elephant is a 'clever clogs' because he knows some shit about dinosaurs) and the stuff about daddy pig's weight/general stupidity is uncomfortable viewing. I do find mummy rabbit's voice comforting, in a very English, plummy, Caroline quentin/kirstie allsopp kind of way. But the rabbit family's involvement in every business enterprise going is clearly weird.
But I've welcomed PP into our lives and tolerate it because it's the only non-vehicular fictional content that ds finds even vaguely interesting so I think it is good for him.

CottonbudCatastrophe · 18/06/2014 21:53

YABU. Mummy Pig works from home or is, possibly, addicted to MN. She also volunteers for the fire brigade. Excellent role model!

Granny Murray is worse. As is 3rd & Bird. And Mike the shite. And Chuggington...

YABU. Mummy Pig works on her computer (love the suggestion that she is probably on MN) and is always right. I love it.

ElphabaTheGreen · 18/06/2014 22:21

I think you mean Granny Murray, the childminder who works insane hours yet remains irritatingly perky in a world peopled by imbeciles who can't sing, can't act, find themselves inexplicably asking 'where did the time go?' then suddenly rushing about with no particular cause, in a bizarre mish-mash of a realm consisting of Edinburgh, London and Newcastle.

YABU. 'Me Too!' will send me to Bedlam long before Peppa.

Sister77 · 18/06/2014 22:37

That curious bastard George pisses me RIGHT of too!

SisterMoonshine · 18/06/2014 22:37

I love it when Brian Blessed is in it and all the adult characters are rolling their eyes at his tall stories.

shockinglybadteacher · 18/06/2014 23:09

God I hate it because their voices are so irritatingly middle class it isn't true :D

I will grudgingly concede that I hate Peppa less than George and I don't think she's supposed to be a brat - I think she's a bossy eldest, as a pp said.

Arsebadger · 19/06/2014 08:19

My child is behaving like George Pig at present... Maybe it's karma for hating the programme...

dd loves Peppa!

She now thinks that's what pigs look like.

Peppa Pig world is fab too.

In short YABU

Szeli · 19/06/2014 09:08

Luckily I caught some at work before DS was born. He therefore doesn't watch it or horrid Henry.
I try to avoid his expose to Let's Play too, but that's because I can't stand the poor acting

squaktheparrot · 21/06/2014 06:49

OP Grin aah I love your post. Can you rant about something else? I like your writing style. What do you think of...Dora?
