Children's TV characters you just can't stand

[ragmayo]

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?

Peter Rabbit's Mum - who constantly encourages her son into mortal danger of a type which killed her husband in order to steal food, despite her twin daughters never having to leave the house and the family having the apparent ability to buy all the food that they need from "Ginger and Pickle's shop". (Which is presumably also where Mr Tod buys his food given he never catches any rabbits).

Yes for Raven - could be good but just isn’t! She emphasises all the wrong words for starters

Topsy and Tim's mother's perpetually bright voice drives me mad.

Norman in Fireman Sam. Should be in Borstal.

Another vote for, um, like, uh, The Next Step?(raises intonation. Stares through fringe. Then looks away meaningfully into the middle distance).

So young and so much dance trauma. It's like a shite 90210 / Dawson's Creek parody.

My two love Raven, the challenges are good TBF but oh dear lord the overacting drives me mad.

My other most hated CBBC show is marrying mum and dad

Thank you all for validating my decision to have a CBeebies-free house.

(I love Nanny Plum and her raging case of sexual tension with the Wise Old Elf.)

Anyone from Paw Patrol is the worst, except for the Map from Dora, Bot from Team Umizoomi, and EVERY SINGLE THING in Sid the Science Kid. How that show got made I know not. Adults doing preschoolers' voices should be banned.

My children mostly watch Netflix, which has the 1990s Magic School Bus on it. I love that, apart from bloody Not-at-my-old-School Phoebe and I am so glad New MSB replaced her with the infinitely cooler Jyoti.

I can't believe nobody's said Perfect Peter (off Horrid Henry). I can't bear the little fucker when he starts whining and squealing, I have to turn it off.

The Little Princess gets on my tits as well with the really exaggerated Yorkshire accent.

I like Suzy Sheep because she is a bitch!

Agree with Bing, but can't believe no one has mentioned Skye from Paw Patrol yet. How sweet of them to put a token pink girl in – shame they made her a drivelling idiot.

Off limits in this house are Waybaloo, Tweenies, and the fucking Chipmunks. Basically anything that uses adult actors to do child character voices because it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Bing is vile, so petulant and whiny.

It really annoys me how the writers make him say words incorrectly such as "I putted it down", not very educational.

Ryan's mother- that whiny American voice goes right through me. And Ryan too to be fair.

Don't let your kid on YouTube to discover the shite that is Ryan's Toy Review.

Also YouTube - Blippi

I love Flop! Wish I could parent like him!

The theme tune to Peter Rabbit gives me the rage.

And from back in the day:

Numberjacks - sinister animation and voiced by shouty kids.

Green Balloon Club - staccato assembly style autocue delivery. 'Hello everyone. Today we are. Going. To. Look at. Worms.' Well bully for you and the sanctimonious script writers.

Lazy town - nope, nope, nope!

I always loved 3rd and bird but my DC hated it. They have no taste.

Another vote for Topsy and Tim's mum!!! For using stupid words like "twintastic", for sending her kids to nursery when they're the size of seven year olds, for taking so long to move bloody house and for being ridiculously patient and perfect. The kids break her precious vase and they’re sticking it back together with tape and not telling her. Surely now she’ll finally lose her shit. No! She just laughs and says 'I bet no one else has a vase quite like this’. Aaargh!!!

@corrianderisthedevil my son has just started watching ryan and his toy reviews, i thought flop made me feel like a bad parent but they make me feel even worse! How can they be so upbeat all the time. Although i think its just an excuse for the dad to act like a kid lol. My son now wants us to call him ryan

The whole cast of Topsy and Tim, especially the stepford, prozac-ed to the eyeballs mum and the creepy, swinger style dad. Although I do really detest the kids too.
And the disgraceful sexist shite that is Peppa Pig and her appalling family. DS loves the porcine fuckers, god knows why. I was glad when I went back to work and DP had to endure it instead.

Pj masks effin' Pj masks!
Bing looking forward to the one where flop looses the rag an murders him...he has that calm voice and might just get the wee rabitty bastard in a stew and finish him off
Mr Tumble(and all his sodding family) He isnt fun hes a twat and a bore!
Topsy and Tims mum...cow
My little pony etc its just a load of shite

The Little Princess gets on my tits as well with the really exaggerated Yorkshire accent.

Don't blame us Yorkshire folk for the little princess voice! Jane Horrocks has a Lancashire accent!! (But I love it!)

I would send Thomas the tank engine to the scrap heap in a heartbeat. Whiny, misbehaving, rude mechanical little gobshite.

Nobody has mentioned the baffling pile of utter bilge that is Odd Squad yet?
You're very lucky if you've not been subjected to that yet. Overacting kids and thick adults.
I have banned Horrid Henry.

Still, ds1 also likes Troll Hunters which more than makes up for all the crap. Such a good show.

I also keep hoping there's a secret episode of Max and Ruby where she loses her rag, kicks the little sod into the basement and calls social services on her parents.

I hate teletubbies with a passion, I was mid teens last time they were around and thought they’d gone. Only to have my own child now to find they are still going. 😡

Peppa pig is so bloody rude, I was tell my DD i don’t like what she’s saying and why that’s not nice if I find her watching it.

Bing, pando gives me rage. Beatboxing little fuckwit.

I cam happily watch hey duggee and Ben and Holly with out a child about.

I adore Bing.

I don't like the female Cbeebies presenter with the straight long brown hair, nor Poi.

Love some Rosie & Jim, Tots TV, oldschool Teletubbies, Tweenies etc in this house... it's what I used to watch as a kid and I get the DVDs from Amazon.

Lokesh and Charlotte from teacup travels..can’t stand the weird smiles and “thinking faces” they do whenever listening/picking a teacup. And the “yes, lets!” Drives me INSANE. I know they’re just kids but oh my god get off my tv 😩
