To think the Tired Parents thing is bloody creepy?

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.

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

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

I thought that was Vic and Bob at first. Confused Grin

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.

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'.

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!!

giraffesCantReachTheirToes · 13/03/2016 20:15

I don't like it

And I am not usually very hard to amuse!

horseygeorgie · 13/03/2016 20:18

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

Esmeismyhero · 13/03/2016 20:53

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

KolaKoola · 13/03/2016 21:31

I think it's quite funny.

GreenRug · 13/03/2016 21:35

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 · 13/03/2016 21:38

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.

LaContessaDiPlump · 13/03/2016 21:38

I quite like it Blush

Bicnod · 13/03/2016 21:46

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