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.

Haha also here trying to work out the family dynamic in waffle. Why do they all get on so well? Doug's mum is awesome why did they break up? Where is Evie's dad? How did they get together?

I walked in to an unusually calm living room today as my 5 year old and 15 month old were utterly transfixed!
My DH and I were just shooting each other looks of disbelief at how awful it was!

So with you on this. Plus DD tonelessly warbles "Waaaaafffffle Dogggaaay" on repeat in the car and it makes me want to rock silently in a corner somewhere

The entire family are halfwits.

The one where Doug's Mum comes to visit and they all start making fucking whale noises gives me the rage.

YANBU. Waffle can get in the bin for his theme tube alone.

We need to talk about Waffle actual TALKING. Why did they put that in the story?? At first I assumed this was some sort of game the family played, but no, Mrs Hobbs can hear him talking too but they all shrug it off like it’s normal and don’t even try to monitise the situation. All I can assume is that since the mum works at a vets they are all on K or something. Might explain the home decor with the pineapple wallpaper and the acid yellow everywhere too.

Thank you for making me feel less grumpy about my hatred of this children's tv show.
The neighbour is definitely not being unreasonable. They one where the dog ran into her house covered in painted and the Dad lifted him on to her kitchen worktop!
I wouldn't be happy if someone put an animal on my worktop!
And their rubbish attempts to discipline him by just saying his name in increasing exasperated voices drives me nuts!
I see Apple Tree House is back soon though and I love that!

I hate it. I thought Id peaked with how much I hate Justin fletcher, but no. I hate Waffle the stupid dog even more. Tipsy and Tom (as they’re known in this house) are angels compared to the irritatingness of Simon, who needs to be twatted over the head with his own guitar.

And I hate biggleton! It seems to have gone out of its way to make sure that all of the stereotypically ‘mens’ jobs Have been given to the little girls. No one is married or has children. There’s no ‘village idiot’, no pubs. I’ve never seen anyone get drunk. And the sheep are not real.

I might restart my sky subscription just so we can watch Cartoon Network again.

I love hey duggee though

I hate this show but feel much better about it since a poster on a previous thread dissing it pointed out how the mum over emotes in every scene.

Now I actually want to kill her.

She is the worst person in the world. Her singing in the car when they've picked the fucking dog up makes me feel properly violent.

I LOATHE this crap. Okay – where to start?
Overlooking the dire acting for a moment, the ‘story’ is absolute dross.
The dog is about as badly behaved as a dog can be. But do the family care? Nooo – they don’t give a shit. They just let it do whatever it wants, including letting it trespass, and cause damage, in the house of someone who clearly doesn’t want it there. And when the neighbour addresses it they just stand there and simper at the dog and say it’s stupid name in mock-exasperation. Dog training anyone?
I think the shit-for-brains who writes this drivel would like us to think that the neighbour is in the wrong – sadly, that’s far from the case; I don’t think I’d appreciate my neighbours letting their dog access my home whenever it pleases. Are we meant to think it’s funny? I don’t and neither does my daughter.
The neighbour called what was implied to be the RSPA in one episode and told the family that they sad they couldn’t do anything. BULLSHIT. A dog constantly invading someone else’s home, and causing damage, would almost definitely be a cause for concern.

Seriously wanted to kick the damn TV out the window earlier too – episode revolved around Fuckall the Blunder Dog going to stay with someone else. And the whole. Damned. Episode was the family whining about how they “miss waffle”. Seriously – NOTHING else happened. Just the family basically falling to pieces because their dumbass dog wasn’t home FOR A FEW HOURS.

Terrible, terrible show.

I can really piss the kids off if I change the lyrics to "Awfullllll doggy.... Awfullllll doggy" they get so cross it's hilarious.

It's awful. Bring back those twatty twins anyday.

I despise Mister Maker (what is the presenter taking?!). Anything made in the program will break within 30 seconds of being played with and are usually make with many things you just wouldn't have lying around the house.

I reckon Waffle isn’t real, Just a figment of Evie’s imagination.

She hasn’t got over her birth dad leaving (Mr Hammond from Andy’s Safari Adventures) and then being killed in a freak accident involving some naked mole rats and the Kit-Mobile.

Waffle arrived on her mum’s wedding day. Everyone is indulging the imaginary pet and getting more and more sucked in to the pretence to the point they’re forgetting it’s not real anymore.

If I don’t think of this backstory when I watch the show with my little ones, I’d go mad.

As bad as waffle is (and it's pretty bad) DS1 has progressed to cbbc and the presenters on there make me vaguely murderous
