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.

I'm not loving the Octonauts either, which seems to be on at an annoying time in the morning so we keep catching it. Captain Barnacle reminds me of a repressed WWI major.

Dora is annoying, but she is not more annoying than Mike the Knight who is annoying and an embodiment of male and class-based privilege. He goes around patronising the fuck out of everyone and gets away with it because he's the king's son. He'll be the first up against the wall come the Revolution, you mark my words

Catnuzzle · 17/07/2014 20:36

No one's mentioned the worst if all.

Bubbleguppies.

Nuff said.

BurnThisDiscoDown · 17/07/2014 20:37

I don't mind D D Dora (as DS calls her, because of the theme tune!), but I can't abide Ruby and sodding Max. He's (presumably) a toddler, you're his big sister, not his mum, stop fucking bossing him about and let him play cars or whatever. And where are their parents?! I also don't mind In The Night Garden, as it was the only thing DS stopped crying for when he was about 4 months old! Grin

BurnThisDiscoDown · 17/07/2014 20:38

Bub bub bubble, gup gup guppies!

Sorry!Grin

Fifi and the Fucking Flower Tots.

If it no longer exists and your DCs are too young to have been tortured by it, count yourselves IMMENSELY FUCKING LUCKY.

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 20:44

Does anyone like Mike? I caught an episode this morning where he held a tournament, made up rules on the spot so that he won every event, finally realised he was in the wrong and did it properly - and then got rewarded for it all! No! How on earth is that decent parenting?

My friends daughter has a Dora toy that, like, spins around, and wheels around on the table singing.

That thing will kill her in the night.

I'm still haunted by the memory of Dora the Explorer and my youngest child is 12. It takes a long time to get Dora fully out of your system. They should really offer counselling.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 17/07/2014 20:51

Balamory gives me the rage.

Peppa Pig
Hello Kitty
KwizzKids
Dora
Mike the Knight
Fifi
Bubble guppies

Are all on my shit list.

playftseforme · 17/07/2014 20:51

My DTs love Mike and have mike wall stickers in their bedroom (at their request). Fortunately they can be peeled off when they see sense

101066 · 17/07/2014 20:57

Am I the only one that can't stand Peppa Pig. The theme tune grates at me every bloody time I hear it. Just as does the voices of the whole family especially Peppa "clever cloggs". her brother George is just about bearable while he keeps his mouth shut.!!

Lovelydiscusfish · 17/07/2014 20:59

Mike the Night - sexist rubbish. Why does he get a horse, loads of dragons and that cool slide, while his sister just gets a frog?
Cloud-babies, that's also sexist shite, and they all seem to bully and patronise Babba White, who is the only one who isn't smugly annoying and has a little bit about him. Why are they in loco parentis of him anyway, when they are, in fact, babies.
Tree-fu-Tom also annoys me, but that's not political, it's just the very sound and sight of it.

Jamdoughnutfiend · 17/07/2014 21:03

Fireman Sam - the little shit Norman and his hideous mum........arghhhhhh and DDs love it ( and call it pontypandy - which is quite cute)

But nothing beats fucking spongebob, bastard- pants - it makes me feel muderous..... And breathe

Nannyplumismymum · 17/07/2014 21:07

Completely agree OP.

Dora is toss.

I banned it. Couldn't stand the sound of "swipey no swiper" on a Saturday morning.

Dora has the most irritating voice ever.

Mike the Knight is an idiot. He doesn't listen to anyone, his friends do all the work then he realises he's been a twat and gets all the credit.

wheresthelight · 17/07/2014 21:29

Never watches it but agree with the posters who hate;
Justin
In the night garden
Pepper pig
Topsy and tim - this has ruined my childhood love of their chocolate cookery book!!!

SarahAndFuck · 17/07/2014 21:34

Hearts I think you win.

Fifi and the Flower Tots are just begging for a large dose of weedkiller and a big can of fly spray.

Bloody hell but that programme annoys the actual shit out of me.

I just remembered DS watching Milkshake the other day. They were doing the milkshake song and were dressed up like bin men or something, and singing in Mockney Chas and Dave style.

DS sat and watched the entire thing without a word, seemingly enraptured and with me wondering if we needed to get his ears and his sense of good taste tested.

But then when it finished he said "That's made me really angry now, it was so rubbish!" That's my boy Grin

NumberOneFan · 17/07/2014 21:36

How about Max and Ruby? Ruby has got the most annoying whiny voice ever!

TurquoiseCat · 17/07/2014 21:50

Waybuloo (time for fucking yogo fuck off)
Bubble guppies with the SHOUTING NOT SINGING boy
Topsy and tim (are you good at rememberwing?)
Grandpa in my pocket although I do like that Jason mason is all grown up and doesn't seem to give two shits about grandpa anymore
Iconicles. Oh god iconicles.

Though I flipping love singing along to Abadas and the old numtums. The new numtums can go fuck themselves.

HaroldLloyd · 17/07/2014 21:52

Love free styling to Abadas songs.

My name is mummy and I can eat a piiieeeeee.

Grandpa is your pocket is so dull,ditto that old salty sea dog shite.
