To think the Tired Parents thing is bloody creepy?

[MargotLovedTom]

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I can't be the only person who finds that Tired Parents thing really weird? It just really freaks me out seeing those horrible faces on the dolls' bodies (or whatever the hell they are) and I don't find it endearing or amusing at all. It's like a nightmare come to life.

[Bicnod]

Ha! I think it's hilarious and so does DH. Very on point observational comedy IMO.

[LaContessaDiPlump]

I quite like it

[KolaKoola]

Some of them are a bit creepy, took me a while to work out they are meant to be a couple as watched demon child first... That was very funny.

[GreenRug]

I think a couple of them are spot on but then I'm bang in the middle of a many year haze of parenting v young kids so it's really relevant for me. Objectively, it's not that funny, no. And it is a bit creepy.

[KolaKoola]

I think it's quite funny.

[Esmeismyhero]

Wtf did I just watch lol, it's funny but weird!

[horseygeorgie]

What the hell is tired parents?! Oddly enough I really want to watch it now!

[giraffesCantReachTheirToes]

I don't like it

And I am not usually very hard to amuse!

[gillybeandramaqueen]

ahhahhahahhahahhahhaaaa!!!!!!!!

I think it's hilarious!!!! It won't be to everyone's sense of humour and perhaps not everyone will 'get it'.... but I do!!! Makes me LOL and I look forward to each new episode..... so there!!

[timemaychangeme]

Totally dreadful. Not funny or clever. If I want to listen to passive aggressive people bickering, I have no shortage of real life opportunities, without clicking on these two dull , irritating pitas'.

[liz70]

I thought that was Vic and Bob at first.

It's not funny, it's not at all original in style - plenty of people have done similar before this - but I don't find it creepy. Just rather meh and pointless.

[gunting]

I've avoided them until now, I might watch one now and have a good cringe

[SweetieDrops]

I don't get it at all, I've just watched the gym one and a couple of other ones like this . Is it really meant to be funny?

[tomatodizzy]

I don't like it, two freaky little dolls with miserable mens faces, being spiteful and rude to each other is seriously depressing and a little bit twisted.

[MargotLovedTom]

Ha, I'd be feeling derogatory about my husband too if he produced that warped shite.

[EponasWildDaughter]

It has been discussed before. But i agree with you!

Didn't we come to the conclusion that it's a MNers DH that makes them? and that she had a derogatory thread about him once

[BeardMinge]

Half an hour? Am I just watching trailer then? Each episode only seems to be a minute or so long.

Some of it raises a wry smile from me, but then I'm only just out of the tiny baby, not enough sleep phase.

The hair is creepy though.

[AlpacaLypse]

I watched the first four when it first appeared in the stickies, that's nearly half an hour of my life I will never get back. Kept thinking 'it's got to improve, other people have made positive comments about it'.

It didn't.

[MargotLovedTom]

I don't know, but I'd like it to go away.

[VagueIdeas]

Just seeing the screencap that heralds each new episode is enough to make me never want to click on them.

Why is it a Mumsnet thing? What started it?

[hiddenhome2]

I think it's really funny and brings back not so fond memories of when mine were little

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Yanbu.

[fusionconfusion]

Absolutely dreadful creepy SHITE for me too. The dialogue is okay but having two men in weird costumes and those dolls? Ick.

[knittingwithnettles]

I think it is hilarious. Sometimes a bit too short...Just the way partners constantly bicker and undermine each other...resentment, oneupman ship wilful misunderstanding even when one is trying to be pleasant. The trivia that makes up our conversations as parents, when we attempt depth and profondity. And the hair rings so true.
