The giraffe on pablo

As much as I'm all for the TV show Pablo on CBeebies showing life from the point of view of a boy who has ASD, I would love to pay an African poacher to take out that giraffe 😂 simply because he has to say "point of fact" in every single episode 🙄🙄🙄

What other tv shows really get you annoyed?

I am in stitches reading this thread 🤣.. I thought I was the only one who thought Bing was an little annoying shit.

Rapunzel. Always bloody Rapunzel. Disney channel had a made-for-TV movie and a bloody continuing series. Its not bad as a series, I certainly watched worse in the early 80s (she-ra anyone) Pretty dark at times and I'd say aimed at about y2. My 3 yo now has THREE "Rapunzel" dresses and will rarely wear anything else. Which makes getting ready for football, ballet or sodding Asda a war every time.

Oh and we have an imaginary friend called Eugene who pees on the floor Confused

@ItsNachoCheese
Haha he's so right about Upsy Daisy!! My brother pointed out that iggle piggle looks like a blue David Cameron. Once you see it.....

I thought you were talking about Pablo the Little Red Fox from when my DD (19) was little. Blush

I've had the theme tune in my head for two days now thanks very much!

I LOVE hey dugee!

"Woof!"

Ikabod · 16/05/2018 09:52

@GinPink OMG your brother is right! Thanks for that...
Bing didn't used to annoy me but now I've seen every episode 50 times, well... HOWEVER as a PP said, flop is my parenting guru and it's SO helpful being able to say "do you remember in Bing when his balloon burst/ he wet his pants/ broke the hula hoop". My 3 year old gets my point straight away.

I cannot STAND Everything's Rosie. Peter Rabbit is a little thief and - it's been said a million times before - Postman Pat should be fired for gross misconduct.

Stick, stick, stick, stick...

Yakka Dee makes me want to throw a large brick at the TV. My daughter is now only allowed to watch it when she visits her Aunties!

CraftyMummyof3Tiddlers · 16/05/2018 13:04

Hilarious! I know the Grandmother , who's grandson does the giraffe's voice in Pablo...but I've never watched it lol

When I was watching in the night garden tonight before bed I realised that makka pakkas "tail" looks like he's stopped squeezing out a turd mid way 😂😂

Everything's Rosie and Kate and Mim Mim. And Do You Know!

My 18mo loves Hey Duggee (nearly as much as I do...) but can't quite manage to say 'stick'. Put it on to try and keep him quiet on the train the other day but I think I made things worse for all the poor commuters in the carriage.

"Dick, dick, dick, dick..."

I didn't realise that Pablo is supposed to be on the spectrum, though he does appear to have Synesthesia, which would track.
I do agree that Bing is a whiny little goit and Peter Rabbit, thanks to a character rewrite from the books is quite irritating.
In Waffle's defence, it's only really the stupid neighbour that needs cutting desperately. I am quite lenient though, purely because of the inspired choice of voice actor for Waffle himself.

BowiesJumper · 18/06/2019 15:17

My husband hates Bing, but I don't mind him! And Flop IS his parent!

I hate Pablo, but it's not aimed at me! My son doesn't really watch it so I don't have to suffer it too often.

I've only caught Show Me Show Me a couple of times, but it is AWFUL isn't it!! The woman looks like she doesn't really want to be there.

I know this is a massive necro of this thread, but I just have to say this has given me life!

I literally just typed into google "I hate biggleton" (I really hate kids trying to be older than they are. So for me this show is just the worst thing ever) and I'm glad to see there are other parents who just can't stand some of their kids shows :')

Alastria · 21/11/2019 13:23

And I agree with everything about Pablo! I'm really not a fan >.
