AIBU to suggest that Waffle the Wonder Dog is actually worse than Topsy and Tim?

[Cuppaand2biscuits]

I really thought Topsy and Tim was the height of terrible acting and cheesy storylines but Christ this is something else!
Yes, I know it's aimed at kids and mine love it, hence my over investment in the programme.

[fanlight79]

Completely agree! And the theme tune drives me insane (sung by my toddler all the livelong day). Almost makes me long for the f-ing "twintastic" duo to come back into favour in my house!

[Cuppaand2biscuits]

Jumping about like a frog! No he isn't, he's jumping like a dog!

[Mileymoocow]

My 20 month old loves waffle.

I wish they'd found his owner

[Strongmummy]

“Waffle the DOGGEE” has been stuck in my head all fucking day

[LanaKanesTerfyVagina]

Oh god fucking yes!

Just when you thought T&T had peaked the heights of smug, twee, badly acted trite for kids TV.........

Along comes fucking Waffle and.... Lo! A new hideousness of smuggery and storylines apparently written by lobotomized Stepford Wives.

And, of course, the kids just fucking love it, and insist on watching over and over again to the point you silently beg whatever power in heaven to strike you down, as the 7th circle of hell would be a nicer place.

[StrawberryMummy90]

Thank you OP for putting the worlds most annoying song in my head after I worked so hard to get it out for the last 3 days.

Waffle the doggaayyyy

[Tawdrylocalbrouhaha]

YABU.

I haven't actually seen Waffle (and the trailers looked shite) but...NOTHING is worse than T&T.

[Katescurios]

4 yo DDs bday party at the weekend. 15 x little girls on a bouncy castle shouting

" Waffle the doggggyyyy, he's such a lovely dog..... "

Never wanted to stick a Biro in my own ear quite as much as I did in that moment

[GoJetterGirl]

YABU, T&T are definitely more irritating, I haven't tired of the theme song for Waffle Doggee yet

[lill72]

I loathe Topsy and Tim. Waffle is ok as it s novel but it will drive me crazy doo . I do find the cat lady a little but funny with her extreme behaviour!

[DownWentTheFlag]

It’s not just me then!

[beepbeeprichie]

Bloody hate Topsy and Tim. Is Topsy her real name? Did her parents give her a shitty made up name and her brother a real one?

[24carrot]

I have watched waaay too much Waffle Doggee. I do like the blended family angle but weirdly find myself wondering more than is healthy about how these two (the parents) got together. And why did Simon break up with Doug’s mum, Zoe, when they obviously all get on so well... or DO they? Where is Evie’s dad and why is he never mentioned? Is it just me who has these thoughts?!

[MoonriseKingdom]

I like to imagine the mum writing AIBU threads about her terrible cat lady neighbour. It’s dire but it’s still not as bad as twintastic T+T.

[24carrot]

‘And that,’ said Mumsnet, ‘was that!’

[rebelrosie12]

I get 'wooofle dog yeah!' All frggin day as well. I've tried telling him it's waffle. Not having it. It's woofle, cos dogs say woof!

[Trundle13]

I do find the cat lady a little but funny with her extreme behaviour!

Several times I have come close to posting an AIBU about how I find Mrs Hobbs (or whatever Waffle’s cat lady neighbour is called) and her reactions completely reasonable, I would hate for next door’s dog to keep invading my house and garden!!

[chinesechicken]

Oh gosh I detest it. I think I hate Little Roy more though.

[Wineandpyjamas]

Oh God @chinesechicken - little Roy! I can’t stand that programme! The opening with the dancing’s enough to make me want to put a drill through my skull. I actually have to leave the room.

But in answer to your question OP, YANBU, I loathe waffle the dog. My 3 yo loves it though

[M0reGinPlease]

I quite like a bit of Waffle! My 2yo does air guitar and sings the theme tune. It's cute.

Biggleton, on the other hand, which is horrendous enough, but Eammon Holmes FUCKING SINGING? I want to scratch my own eyes out every time it's on.

[ColdWaterMusic]

Oh god, now I'm singing that bloody song again. Waffle the doggggyyyy...

[M0reGinPlease]

Also carrot- no, it's not only you, there's a MASSIVE backstory to that family and I'm dying to know it!

[MyKingdomForBrie]

Surely it’s ‘waaaaffle DOGGEE’ not ‘waaaaffle the DOGGEE‘?!

This matters, of course..

I cannot bear that bloody Simon and his ‘music’. What the fuck even is that.

[blackteasplease]

My ds adores it!

I hadn't realised for ages that Evie wasn't the daughter of both parents.

Also I keep thinking Doug's Mum was out of the Dad's league.

[SkaPunkPrincess]

YABU my adorable 22mo learned to say Doggy WOOF! because of waffle. He also sings #Waaaaafoooooo Doggy. So we LOVE waffle in our house.
