As a parent subjected to the joys of cbbc and beyond, I now have a deepset hate of Mr Tumble, Barney (don't get me started!!), Sophia the first and Doc McStuffins and her long running battle with Munchausen by proxy, to name but a few.
What children's tv characters really put your teeth on edge?

Dh and I hate Bing... so bloody whiny! We laugh at thr episodes where he stands in dog shit and when he drops his ice-cream...

Dont understand the family dynamics... where are the parents?? What is Flop? Hes half bings size!

Why does pando take his trousers off all the time? On one episide flop even folds them up for him!

The toddler bloody loves Bing though... so much so that im actually considering taking him to the live show.. and smuggling in all the wine to cope..

I know, I hate Bing, and the repeated refrain, 'It's a bing thing.' Thank goodness my DDs have grown out of CBeebies, that's all I can say. Grin

Peppa bloody pig

go back to some of the shows we watched as kids ( i am 45 yo ) rainbow clip on youtube doing the rounds HOW did they get away with the very thinly disguised innuendo

Surely Raa Raa has to be up there just for the fact that lions don't live in the jungle, jingly jangly or otherwise. Also, he's a noisy jerk.

Bing is so super intense. I just can't. It's too much, even with lovely Flop and Amma.

I will defend Abney and Teal though. At first I thought it was hipster nonsense, then my two year old started finding porridge hilarious. Changes a person. Smile

Why does Great Aunt Lizzie only allow one child at a time in for tea? Where do Mum and the other one go? Why are all the tea cups identical despite coming from around the world? (And the storylines come to think of it)

I hate Justin’s House - I feel like he has a massive ego. Also, I have it on great authority that Mr Bloom can’t actually garden. Don’t like Andy either. Think Ben in CBeebies house is lovely though

Toyboysrus · 03/02/2018 19:17

I agree about Barney and the over acting grinning ninnies stage school type kids that pranced about with him.

Imagine turning up on a blind date to that

Grin Jesus, that's a terrible thought!

I've just thought of another one that makes my brain itch - Wissper Angry Not only is it ineptly spelled, whoever sings the theme tune couldn't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it.

Really??

Oh. I think he's a drip.

And what's Olobob tops and Spotbot about?

berryferry · 03/02/2018 23:16

I don't understand what cbeebies Ben is for

welshmist · 03/02/2018 23:21

Think peppa is the runaway winner here. Gecko is getting annoying. Thank goodness tom and Jerry recordings are popular looking forward to rediscovering scooby doo though

Joskar · 03/02/2018 23:37

What's the deal with Baby Jake's massive family? I don't get it. They aren't in the "stories. Also, why a windmill?

BeagleBurger · 03/02/2018 23:53

I can't STAND Nanny Plum. Miss Rabbit so only marginally less annoying.

Norman Price. Mike Flood's lower lip gives me the heebejeebies (sic?).

I once banned Peppa Pig because she's so rude.

Weird YouTube egg songs. Daddy finger. Alphabet train.

MORPHLE. I HATE MORPHLE AND EVERYONE WHO CREATED IT SHOULD BE LOCKED UP.
