Bob the Builder has always been a grown up! He used to be voiced by Neil Morrisey.

Errrrm.... hes a grown man with a job! What;s it matter how he talks????????

LEAVE HIM BE!!!

Are you talking about the redesign?
It happened when Hit sold the rights to Rainmaker Entertainment

SardineJam · 30/08/2016 19:11

I really don't like the made over Bob and the new toys that have followed!

Jasonandyawegunorts · 30/08/2016 19:12

The evil Mattel company makes the toys now, they no doubt had a hand in the redesign.

He's always been an adult. Any fool knows you don't put a child in charge of diggers and rollers and other stuff I can't remember. What was Lofty again?

AverageGayLad · 30/08/2016 19:14

He looks fucking shit Angry

Some cunt RUINED Bob :(

And all the other characters are ruined too Angry:(Angry:(Angry

FUCKING BASTARDS

HateSummer · 30/08/2016 19:14

Bob was always a man Confused. And Wendy was his object of desire.

FinnMcCool · 30/08/2016 19:14

A crane. Lofty the crane.

Jasonandyawegunorts · 30/08/2016 19:14

Lofty is a truck crane

Soubriquet · 30/08/2016 19:14

Are you sure you've always been watching Bob the builder?

Hassled · 30/08/2016 19:22

A crane, thank you. Takes a real man to tell a crane what to do.

I'm still recovering from the travesty that is Fireman Sam these days. Here's what he should look like and what he does look like now. It's sick and wrong.

Have you every come across French Bob? Bob le Bricoleur, he goes on holiday a lot. And his cat is called Sardine.

TiggyD · 30/08/2016 19:27

It is shit now. Hard to imagine what these people are thinking. "That's hugely successful. Let buy it and change everything!"

Soubriquet · 30/08/2016 19:28

I'm disappointed by pingu now days.

You used to be able to understand the "warks"

ElspethFlashman · 30/08/2016 19:32

DS is obsessed. He almost goes into orbit at all the vehicles.

They are the most dangerous machines in the world though. How they're allowed onto a building site is beyond me. They're an industrial accident in waiting. Constantly dropping bricks everywhere or knocking down walls.

And Bob just sighs and doesn't even give them a verbal warning!

And I think Leo must be on some sort of training scheme, as he doesn't seem to know how to do anything.

MrsJoeyMaynard · 30/08/2016 19:34

Maybe Bob's just been on a big diet and got all skinny?

MrsJoeyMaynard · 30/08/2016 19:38

Agreed. I often wonder the same thing about the engines on Thomas and Friends. The amount of accidents and near misses they have is ludicrous. But always it's "luckily no one was hurt". Yeah, right. They've just edited out the ambulances so that the children watching aren't upset.

Completely misread that. My childhood is now ruined.

Soubriquet · 30/08/2016 20:59

I gotta know what you mis read that as

TotallySpies17 · 30/08/2016 21:01

I hate the new look Bob the Builder. It's so wrong Sad

FatalFemme · 30/08/2016 21:02

Ahem. Wanks.

You'll never look at pingu the same again. 🐧

WhatamessIgotinto · 30/08/2016 21:49

Is this him now? Clearly the REAL Bob is on the left but what the actual fuck have they done? I'm still reeling from when they made Thomas all up to date. Fucking atrocious!

Bob the builder (deadly serious)
Boogers · 30/08/2016 21:52

Whatamess, that is appalling! Bob looks nothing like how Bob should look like. And he looks like he's wearing a Thomas watch. You're right, that's atrocious!
