Children's TV characters you just can't stand

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?

What's with the weird jazz soundtrack in max and ruby?

I really want Robert the Robot to one day flip out and tell Justin to do his own fucking dusting.

berryferry · 31/01/2018 12:32

Tbf the only flawless progs are Hey Duggee and Sarah & Duck

froomeonthebroom · 31/01/2018 12:36

That irritating little girl with the stupid furry spider

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 31/01/2018 12:38

Agree berryferry
Sarah and Duck is slightly weird which makes it much more interesting. And I love Duggee and those cute “squirrels.” My DS insists that we call him Roly! Grin

mynameisntLinda · 31/01/2018 12:41

@greebz omg blippy. We stumbled upon him accidentally and he's so bloody annoying!!
Anyone else's kid watch you tube vieod that are basically Spider-Man in the grand theft auto game but with coloured cars etc
They're annoying

lizzlebizzle33 · 31/01/2018 12:42

Thus thread had made me laugh out loud while I was having a hard day, thank you ladies!
I agree that Bing is spoilt little shit and his friend Pando needs to get his pants back on!! (What's that about?)

Commuterface · 31/01/2018 12:48

LloydColeandtheCoconuts Grin My youngest DD likes us to call her STEPHEN! In a shouty voice

DeadButDelicious · 31/01/2018 12:53

Bing. I don't think I need to say anymore.

Topsy and bastard Tim.

Little Roy. Specifically his dad.

I bloody love Mr Tumble though.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 31/01/2018 12:54

GrinCommuterface
Roly rules!

JoeyMaynardssolidlump · 31/01/2018 12:54

The brat with the spider

Topsy Tim and parents hideous

goodiegoodieyumyum · 31/01/2018 12:55

Rockanddroll I agree about Blaze, my daughter reckons his Lightning Speed is cheating as the Cars he is competing against don't have it, no wonder crushed cheats all the time, if he was half as nice they make him out to be he would let Crusher win once in awhile.

DeadButDelicious · 31/01/2018 13:01

I love Sarah and Duck. Especially Bag.

I also love Elliot from Teacup Travels. Particularly his fabulous eyebrows.

Dionysus78 · 31/01/2018 13:04

Fucking Kwaazi Octonaught. My dd is absolutely obsessed with the Octonaughts. I can tolerate the others, but Kwaazi is a dick. He brings nothing to the mission.

Rockandrollwithit · 31/01/2018 13:09

@goodiegoodieyumyum

I have a soft spot for Crusher, I'm always hoping that he will win just once. This drives my DS mad 😂

sunshinestorm · 31/01/2018 13:12

Also my DS at age 5 genuinely thought Justin and mr tumble were different people, I thought it was obvious to anyone that it is the same man Confused

LizzieB72 · 31/01/2018 13:18

Katie from I can cook - its the way she wrinkles her nose....

CariadFlo · 31/01/2018 13:19

I love Robert the Robot. :)

JoeyMaynardssolidlump · 31/01/2018 13:22

Yes Kate is too girly for me. I always want her to balls up the cooking and swear at the kids

Lizzie48 · 31/01/2018 13:25

I hate Justin Fletcher, especially Mr Tumble! So flipping annoying. I also hate Justin's House, and all those pies wasted, being chucked into Justin's face.

I also hate the Night Garden and the Tombliboos. My DDs mock this now, calling them 'the Tomblipoos'!!

It's fun being able to poke fun at some of these programmes with my DDs now they've grown out of them. Grin

CariadFlo · 31/01/2018 13:27

I am so surprised by the Bing hate on here. I think he's my favourite, same with my grandmother! I find his voice so cute. Blush

RoboticSealpup · 31/01/2018 13:42

I fucking hate PJ Masks. That clichéd 1960s superhero soundtrack that's played constantly drives me to the brink of insanity.

MrsDilber · 31/01/2018 13:46

Norman from Fireman Sam, an utterly waste of emergency services time and resources. In fact, he should be in some kind of Young Offenders Unit for being an arsonist. And his mum always sticks up for him, enables his unstable behaviour.

Feezles · 31/01/2018 13:48

I am lucky that I have a very high tolerance for most of the usual suspects - Bing, Peppa, and even the entire cast of Topsy and Tim have no effect on my at all.

But... Kate from Kate and Mim Mim gives me the absolute RAGE! The bit at the end when she lectures her parents on whatever lesson she learned on her latest acid trip visit to Mima-effing-loo makes me want to hurl stuff at the TV.

I genuinely love Duggee though. He's my hero.

Pumpkinmoon · 31/01/2018 14:02

Bing- Way too fucking whiny. The way he says “voo voo” gives me the total rage.

Norman Price- needs an ASBO

Blippi- once you hear him screech “here I am in Las Vegas NEVAAAADA!!!! You will never be able to unhear it or erase it from your memory. He’s like a bad Timmy Mallet.

walktheplank · 31/01/2018 14:17

One of my proudest moments was when I overheard my four year old son correcting Bing's grammar!

I agree on Kate and Mim Mim, even the name of the programme makes me angry. And her head is way too big for her tiny neck.

Has anyone on here seen Dave Gorman's Modern Life Is Goodish? He talks about how Topsy and Tim move house, and everyone acts like they might not ever see them again when they come to wave them off, but if you consult the map in the credits it turns out they've only moved round the corner!
