To ask where Bing's patents are?(lighthearted)

[Cutesbabasmummy]

I wouldn't ask but one of the books is called "A Present for Daddy"!

Poor old Pando. When I was a kid I was the Pando of the group! When DD first watched Bing, she would shout out Pando's getting nudey-pudey! Every. Bloody. Time!

DD loves Bing. My Dad got her a poseable Bing for Christmas. She left him in the living room before bed but especially requested I go and get him because she didn't want to go to bed without him! I always thought of Flop as Bing's carer, he does a fab job. Way more patient than me!

I wish flop lived with me. His voice is so soothing

I feel like having a fucking Bing stew, seasoned with ground up bastard Pando. With a side dish of fried Sula served on an oven baked Flop bread.

That is all.

Also, why is everything at the end called a 'Bing thing'?

You've got it bookwormnerd. Apart from DH being a genius. Don't get me wrong, he's great but he didnt create Bing. To be fair, the man that did is very, very nice and very serious about Bing - and it pays off as you say. It's ALL about the toddlers.

I rather wish DH had created Bing. All that merchandising . . . sigh.

I love bing. He's an annoying little shit but I like it. Flop. I am in awe of flop. I would be an alcoholic living with those kids.

Rasta fucking mouse on the other hand.... raaaaaaaage.

It would have been an idea for Paget to tell Pando what to do in the swing episode. Instead she completely supports him as he fails to properly take his turn. She should say "You've counted to ten, now off." Instead she laughs as though his being selfish is cute, and carries on pushing him, thus confirming his belief that the world revolves round him. When Bing gets hurt because he loses his shit at Pando, she blames Bing for running in front of the swing. There is blood on Paget's hands I feel. Is the next part of this storyline Paget allowing him to run round a cafe and then blaming the waitress when she trips over him and spills hot coffee over herself, sustaining third degree burns? Or Sula being hit by a car because Pando doesn't want to walk to school and so she's parked on the double yellow lines just outside so no one can see Sula as she emerges from the gate?

This one episode drives me round the bend. I don't know if you can tell. I like Amma though. Although I think she could be more creative than peas and pasta and carrot. Pasta with no sauce is horrible. Come on Amma, put some thought into it.

Yabu, this has been asked a ridiculous amount of times on here it's boring.

The episode where Bing breaks Flops phone and then just hides the evidence like a right little snide. That was my breaking point.

When my DD broke my Kindle, she hid it and then asked for that episode of Bing to be played off the TV hard drive box thing. I took this as a silent request that I react in the same way as Flop - which I did . Bloody thing was damaged beyond repair though.

I stick with genious if writes for bing. My little boy cannot stop laughing at the balloon episode. My daughter does keep requesting carrot sandwiches. The merchandise must be a gold mine (my son has collected the lot and plays with every day and the big bing book is dragged out everyday, if I dare put it away there are tears) I like it has the toddlers working it out. Toomuchtooold I love your daughter used the episode to tell you she broke the kindle, clever girl

"its a bing thing" makes me rage. It's not a fucking bing thing, it's just a thing!

My dd2 loves it, 6yo Dd1 and I sit pulling annoyed faces at each other when it's on.

How old is bing meant to be? I always thought about 2 but the lies and deliberate deception in the broken phone episode seem far too advanced for a toddler.

I get the speech is to emulate a toddler, it just annoys me because children will copy it!

My worst bing episode is when he kills the butterfly. Like oh yeah it's ok Bing, just be more gentle. NO BING DONT SQUISH A FUCKING BUTTEFLY!

As if anyone's reaction to finding their smashed mobile phone in the bin, under a manky banana skin would be. Oh, Oh Dear.

I like it when Pando plays Hide n Seek and goes for a kip in Bing's bed. Good old Pando.

Little my kid asked me to put that episode on, the day she smashed the screen of my Kindle. As soon as I found the thing with the screen in bits I realised why she'd wanted to see it, god love her. I didn't have the heart to chew her out for it after that. So he does have his uses bing!

In the Bing books it states that Coco and Charlie are Bing's cousins. Yet neither family has any parents to be seen.
Off topic a bit but has anyone noticed in Hey Duggee, when the parents come to collect the "children " at the end, parent is larger version of same species of child, except the elephant whose father is ... a crocodile.

Elephant is adopted

Strangely DD asked me where Bing's mummy was today (I gave an unsatisfactory answer)
Oh yes, the swing one. I can't watch it any more. DD knows not to put that one on.
Get off the bastard swing Pando. Why does no one get Pando off the swing?

Bing's Dad is the author. The actual author of the books, who wrote them because he was inspired by his then toddler son.

Flop was the toy rabbit the boy (Bing) carries around.

Then the author sold the book rights and the lovely cartoon series was made, adapting the books.

In one of the first episodes, Bing and Flop make a messy card for Sula with lots of sprinkles.

Except in the original book, it's obviously Mummy helping Bing and his pretend rabbit toy Flop make the messy card for Daddy.

I think the series does a fantastic job bringing the books to life and really captured the feel of the books.

Go team Flop.

(Hope to be like Flop one day... Perhaps when I'm a gran)

I love bing and try to persuade dc to watch it.

And we don't see the parents because it's the perspective of a toddler.

Just like Charlie and Lola.

Before you try to point out any flaws - oi, it's better than paw patrol and their child labour issues.
