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?

Bing “The Ruiner” Bunny needs putting down. Flop must take a lot of drugs.

In a similar way, Little Roy is an utter bell-end.

I have an irrational hatred of Upsy Daisy but I’m not completely sure why.

And it doesn't get any better as they get older....Sam and Cat. Cat is played by Ariana Grande and her voice is like nails down a chalkboard Envy

Ishouldntbesolucky · 30/01/2018 20:07

I'm clearly not the only one, but I came on to say Bing the whiny bunny and Topsy and Tim's perfect bloody mother.

If anyone has seen the cartoon series Caillou...then they will know he OWNS this thread! He is a terrible character, whiny and dull yet gets what he wants....the character also isn't cute.....at all!

Alvin of the Chipmonk game. The other 2 don’t bother me but Alvin is a massive twat

Dustysparrow · 30/01/2018 20:08

Ok, I know she's not a tv character but she is a tween-idol.....Jojo fucking Siwa. Vile, shallow, self obsessed popstrel with her own youtube channel. I despair when my 9 year old sits there hanging on her every word, watching endless brain-rotting videos of her.

GlorianaBanana · 30/01/2018 20:10

I don't understand why Pando takes his trousers off during the opening scenes of Bing, so he annoys me for that.

All of the Go Jetters because of the effing theme tune.

Nooooo! Sam and Cat is amazing and I adore Cat.

Peter Rabbit, the thieving little shit.

Sadie82 I feel your pain

TheHuffAndPuffALot · 30/01/2018 20:16

Shimmer and frickin Shine. I hate them with a passion.

cliffdiver · 30/01/2018 20:17

Peppa Pig.

Rude entitled little shit.

I often joke to DDs that the best place for Peppa is in a bacon sandwich Grin

UnimaginativeUsername · 30/01/2018 20:17

Just you wait until all they want to watch is YouTubers. Then you’ll be fondly remembering the days when cbeebies characters annoyed you.

Imnotposhjustquaint · 30/01/2018 20:18

I love Katie Morag!

Sunbeam18 · 30/01/2018 20:19

Everyone/everything in the Furchester Hotel

Nanny0gg · 30/01/2018 20:19

Any of the Peter Rabbit clan
Topsy and Tim and family
Peppa Pig
Boj (what is he?)
The PJ Masks gang.

And does anyone remember Special Agent Oso? The world's stupidest bear?

HunterHearstHelmsley · 30/01/2018 20:20

Norman Price. Total douche.

lookingforthecorkscrew · 30/01/2018 20:21

I hate the girl from Teacup Travels. I know, I know, she’s a child. But I can’t help it!

sanasa · 30/01/2018 20:23

Peter rabbit- it's not so much the rabbit but the man who sings Angry

MedusaBadHairDay · 30/01/2018 20:24

Greebz that bloody Blippi - I have to leave the room when that gets watched on YouTube. He’s bloody awful Angry

ParadiseLaundry · 30/01/2018 20:26

YA ALL BU for the fact that no one has yet mentioned Raa Raa the Noisy Little Lion.

He bloody annoying and makes everything about himself. He hates loud noises except if it's him making all the noise. What a dick.

He's in for a rude awakening when he finds a mate and discovers he will be the one looking after the cubs all day while his partner goes off and has all the adventures.

Hobbitch · 30/01/2018 20:26

Little Roy. I genuinely don't understand anything about that show or how it was even developed. The character makes me feel intensely stabby.

Also despise Kate & Mim Mim, and Melody.

Hobbitch · 30/01/2018 20:27

Sanasa I totally agree!

sammi0805 · 30/01/2018 20:31

If anyone watches The Wiggles on Netflix... Simon fuckin' Wiggle. His nodding does my head in!
