AIBU?

(Light hearted-ish) AIBU to hate Mister Maker?

He drives me up the wall with the over exaggerated, over enthusiastic actions and rushed crafts. I half expect him to turn up on screen with a trace of Columbian marching powder around his nostrils because he's that hyper.

I grew up in the days of Neil Buchanan and the late, great Tony Hart , and even as a child I prefer Tony's more sedate and considered arts and crafts because I thought Neil was too excitable. But he's nothing compared to Mister Maker's shouting, jumping, running and general (from my POV) acting like a toddler behaviour.

I also have a particular problem with "Mister Maker Around The World" from a BBC budget point of view - he's been to at least Hong Kong, South Africa, Sydney, San Francisco and Rio De Janeiro. It's a bloody children's art program FFS - smacks of BBC producers on a jolly to me.

AIBU?

Not unreasonable can't stand him. I love Bing though and Peter rabbit. My son screams turn this off when tinga tinga tales comes on, he's 2.5 and I have no idea why but he hates it!

I'd like to see an episode of Bing where Flop finally gets pushed over the edge and loses his shit.

And a Wooly (Woolly? Wookey?) and Tig where Woolly gets stamped on during his smug 'hey Tig!" speech.

Ah it's good to get that off my chest Grin

Round the corner, not far away Bing has driven Flop loopy and he's totally lost his shit today Grin

I was forced to watch an episode of ITNG whilst on holiday two years ago.
I thought I was having a reaction to some painkillers. I was not, it just really IS that freaky.
I agree with you op, Mister Maker does act like he's got a rolled up tenner in his pocket, doesn't he? Grin Thankfully my eldest didn't really enjoy the program that much and has since moved on, mostly to transformers and lego based programs and I can tolerate that.
Waybuloo appears to have been written by someone who likes a good spliff, Peter Rabbit is just plain weird and "Being an annoying whiney sod who makes you want to punch the tv - it's a Bing thing!"
Thankfully my toddler hasn't learned to use Netflix or iPlayer so I'm forcing him to watch the How To Train Your Dragon series. Love that!

I know its not an appropriate and measured response but, whenever I see Mr Maker, I feel inclined to go on a paintgun rampage, with the express intention of doing him to death with a primary coloured pellet to the ear. After which I would probably slap some googly eyes on his lifeless corpse. And all that in less than a minute. I have some strong opinions about Bubble Guppies as well.

Andy's Prehistoric Adventures is where it's at here.

Mister Maker is properly annoying and so are the Show Me Show Me people.

YANBU. That Napkin Man is a sanctimonious twat as well.

Some of my students started singing "I am a shape" last week. Sadly they didn't push themselves to a detention as I was looking forwards to quoting that on the detention form.

It's amazing how useful an extensive knowledge of CBeebies is when with teenagers. It explains quite a lot...

And why do Kate and Mim Mim have to shout continually? Don't they have indoor voices?

I can't work out if I hate that or Everything's Rosie is worse. Everything's Rosie just makes me want to vom.

You know Mr Maker is Mr Liker Biker? YouTube proof: if you hate your ears.

I don't mind Mr Maker, but Kate and Mim Mim give me THE RAGE.

I wonder if Kate's parents actually think 'FFS she's going on about that fucking Mimiloo place again'. Hmm

I saw this and thought you were talking about Shaker Maker.

I don't like Mister Maker for the simple reason that he sounds like Stephen Mulhern!

Mister Maker's not that bad! Would prefer Mr Bloom and Sporticus personally. Oh wait....

Believe me when you are forced to endure My Little Pony or some other such rubbish on a loop you will beg for half an hour with Mr Maker and his doodle drawers Grin

I find that at times the comedy in Let's Play, is really good - comedy that adults can appreciate. I think Sid and Rebecca have great comic timing and Rebecca is spot on with her accents. I loved the Vikings episode.
