To wish a CBEEBIES character DEAD

Bing: some kind of child rabbit with a weird old man sock puppet who follows him around as his full time carer. For the uninitiated, his escapades mainly involve him whinging and moaning about some shit like dropping an ice cream or finding a weird potato or wanting a plaster...
Surely THE most annoying TV character ever to be dreamt up. He's such a whiny little nobhead! Unfortunately my almost 1 year old bloody loves him. Sometimes it's the only way I can get her to eat her tea, by having this idiot on the tele.
He makes me feel genuine anger.
Give me Peppa any day of the week over this needy dickhead.
Anyone else...?

I hate Bing. Repeatedly told not to do something, does it and then whinges about it. And then "doing something literally everyone does. It's a Bing thing." No its clearly freaking not.

RebeccaCloud9 · 12/03/2018 19:07

@beingatwatitsabingthing I agree has a great user name!

TeddyIsaHe · 12/03/2018 19:10

Bing makes me muderous, he’s such a whiny little twat! And always fucks other people’s stuff up “it’s a bing thing” NO TELL HIM OFF PROPERLY FLOP YOU FOOL.

Hey Duggee on the other hand, I could happily watch that even if Dd wasn’t here. I love it, very funny.

LadyMarmyLard · 12/03/2018 19:12

Well, plot twist... he's already dead! They're all dead and they're all in purgatory. This theory is the only thing that gets me through Bing. I watch it with new eyes since hearing this on MN, it's how flop stays so patient.

I'm starting to hate all the characters from fucking Waffle doggy. (Except the dog, the dog is awesome)

WopYa · 12/03/2018 19:13

Lily out of Peter rabbit is a smug little git too. "I know that for a fact" alright love pipe down nobody likes a big head.

Mightywease · 12/03/2018 19:15

Thankfully we have progressed beyond Bing but I still, sometimes, have to suffer Peter Bloody Rabbit. I won't be happy in until he and his little friends are covered in pastry and in the oven!!

Surely children's TV is for children, YOU don't have to watch it. The important thing is whether the children enjoy it. If not, teach them Latin or something useful.

Strippervicar · 12/03/2018 19:18

Yep. Bing here too. DD likes to binge watch. She seems to need the tv on even if she's not watching it, and woe betide anyone who tries to change the channel.
She is obsessed with bloody bing. When, at 9am she says, "watch bing now", that's it for the rest of the day. We go out to clubs to get away from bing the butterfly killer. We have Bing knickers, Bing bedding, Bing nighties, Bing toys, they all have to play hide and seek. There's Bing on the tv, whilst we do a Bing puzzle, then read a bing book. If we are lucky, we make Bing out of lego. Ffs.
He is petulant, moody and generally leads flop a terrible life.
I long for the days (weeks) where we get to have Pat or something special on over and over. But not bing.
In fairness, DD is only three and has ASC so, I guess the imaginative play the soft toys bring is good and her acting out the espisodes is better. But why Bing. I cannot stand Bing.

And ShutUpRobert, yes, I could do things with Topsy and Tim's dad, in his office on his twirly chair, in his mini bus...

No idea if YABU, mine are teenagers now, thank fuck. But any minute now you’re going to get the Andy Day/Fatima Whitbread lot on, thinking you’re talking about their hero. They issue death threats. I recommend a NC........

PinkyBlunder · 12/03/2018 19:21

Bing is a cretinous little arsehole.

newcupcake · 12/03/2018 19:22

Whinge bunny he is affectionately known as in our house , yes defo him. And those kids in tea cup travels who totally over act the whole time.

BabloHoney · 12/03/2018 19:24

The problem I have with Bing, apart from the fact he’s an intolerable whiner, is he doesn’t talk properly. I don’t get why the program makers do it.. we’re trying to teach our pre-schoolers how to speak properly and here’s a show that’s lead character doesn’t??
Fortunately in our house, Bing has now gone on a very, very long holiday and so he can’t be on tv. Hey Duggee and Sarah & Duck all the way now.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 12/03/2018 19:27

Flop is the ghost of Thomas Cromwell trying to work off his sins in purgatory.
One slip - by losing his rag at bing - and it's another 1,000 years added to his sentence. That's why he's so insufferably calm.
Either that or Bing has been putting valium in the coffee.
Drugging your carer, it's a Bing Thing.

My son literally grabs my head and turns my face to watch the tv when something particularly funny is on.

Bing is a CUNT
Terrible example to kids... act like a wet little whiny bastard and you’ll get what you want!

ForalltheSaints · 12/03/2018 19:52

Surely the Tweenies character who impersonated Jimmy Savile should be first to go?

FailingMotherhood · 12/03/2018 19:53

Nothing on CBeebies compares to the fucking horror show that is Norman Price.

(Peter Rabbit is a nobber through).

dingdongdigeridoo · 12/03/2018 20:08

Bing is a thief and a butterfly killer. He definitely killed his parents and will kill again. Flop is acting so meek because he’s terrified.

Drainedandconfused · 12/03/2018 20:16

I don't mind Bing or even Norman Price but I hate Topsy and Tim with a passion, I also have an irrational hatred for their Mother too, it's just all so false!!
I love Chris and Pui, they used to present when DD was tiny.

ohfourfoxache · 12/03/2018 20:25

Hate Bing.

Murderous little cunt needs a fucking ASBO at the very least

Iloverichtea · 12/03/2018 20:40

Another Bing hater here. Also can't bear Tree Fu Tom.

Might get flamed for this but I fucking HATE Biggleton. So irritating. Unfortunately DS loves it.

Tobebythesea · 12/03/2018 20:40

I hate Bing. Love Hey Duggee though!

outabout · 12/03/2018 20:48

Why aren't those MN dancing bunnies or the pig (s) under pastry yet?
