I know I'm not. Dora the Explorer is the most annoying show. Even more annoying than Mike the Knight

WTF is this show? Hmm

It's like a sodding computer game. And Swiper? Eh?

I would honestly rather watch three hours of Mike the Little Shit Knight than this.

I hate my MIL for buying this DVD.

It got to be better than Teletubbies.
So glad they don't make it anymore.

Remembermyname · 17/07/2014 16:18

YABU. Topsy and Tim is by far the most annoying. Double please?!

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 16:21

I've seen an advert for Topsy and Tim. They looked... stage school.

It did not tempt me.

I love Topsy and Tom! Those were our reading books when I was in P1 (im 40) so I love to see them in telly. I fecking hate Justin but he has helped my non verbal ASD some speak so can't complain

Dora makes me laugh. Love the bits when they ask us at home to comment and whatever we said, even if it was total nonsense, they would say 'that's right' or 'great job' Grin.

Loved Oso - the thickest spy bear ever. Do they still show it?

APotNoodleandaTommy · 17/07/2014 16:28

YABVU

It's that fucking bastard Peppa Pig

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 16:28

They just stop talking and pretend that you're answering - it's freaky!

Nothing is more annoying than Mike The Knight. Mike The Shite more like.

Chocchip88 · 17/07/2014 16:30

100% agree. Dora is banned in our house. She can dick off.

psychicpaper · 17/07/2014 16:31

Me and DH watch Topsy and Tim

We are 26 - no DC - but its so lovely!!

I dislike Mike the Knight, he is so entitled, and they are so institutionally racist towards the vikings!

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 16:32

The only time I have heard our CM allow her teenagers to vaguely swear was when one of them was trying to explain their feelings towards Mike the Knight Grin

Miek is more useless than Postman Pat.

And that's saying something.

Plus Milke has the most irritating voice on tv.

He makes me angry just thinking about him.

0dd · 17/07/2014 16:36

Jesus, my rage has mangled his name over and over. Grin

SarcyMare · 17/07/2014 16:37

i hate the way dora shouts everything, i raised this before and someone claimed it was intentional for her to shout and sound excited.

farendofafart · 17/07/2014 16:43

Leave Dora alone! It's educational (Spanish) and she's a great role model for girls.

BornToFolk · 17/07/2014 16:44

Has no one here ever seen Barney? Shock He shits all over Postman Pat, Mike the Knight et al for sheer irritation value.
Even DS describes him as "That dinosaur you hate, Mum"

Sandancer · 17/07/2014 16:46

You clearly haven't seen 'Me Too". Granny Murray gives me the chills.

Notso · 17/07/2014 16:58

Many years of Dora served me surprisingly well in Spain last year.

Mike the Gobshite is awful.
All the programmes where the main character is an annoying little brat who comes good in the end piss me off.

Zingzillas are annoying. The missing link between Tweenies and Humans. I wanted to push them over when I saw them in CBeebies Land.

Also hate with a passion Carrie and David's cringeworthy Popshop.

I like Arthur, Something Special, Mr Bloom, I Can Cook and Special Agent Oso. My sister found me creased at Gigglebiz too the other day Blush

OutDamnSpot · 17/07/2014 17:05

When I joined MN I wanted DoramustDie as my user name. It was already taken which I think speaks volumes.

ithoughtofitfirst · 17/07/2014 18:13

Ok firstly LOL outdamnspot

Agree with pp re zingzillas (which actually frightens the living shit out of ds) and "me too" cause I couldn't give a flying fuck how you get to work and would definitely give you the wrong directions out of spite

playftseforme · 17/07/2014 18:17

sarcymare you're so right - constant shouting, even when you turn the volume down. It's exhausting - no-one can possibly be that excited all the time. Diego's not much better on that score either, but i do tolerate it a little more on the grounds that the dc do at least seem to be learning a bit about animals.

MildDrPepperAddiction · 17/07/2014 18:20

YABU. In the night garden is much worse!

Lovemychocolate · 17/07/2014 18:22

I see your 'Dora the explorer' and raise you 'topsy and Tim'. Left my husband with my dc watching it whilst I went to have my waxing done .... I definitely got the better deal :D
