Can't cope with the size

One moment it's small and the next its big enough for everyone to get in.

Then it flies around and it's small enough to go in the pagoda thing and you look inside and its huge, so they must be tiny, so does it shrink once they're in and everything shrinks with it, then it slowly comes back to size as it lands??
I mean sometimes it runs up the bloody tree!!

No, that's the Ninky Nonk isn't it and the Pinky Ponk is the one flying?

Both do the weird size thing though.

Aibu to think its too trippy and it needs to stop changing size??

I was all ready to give you advice OP about a little op my 5'0 friend, who has a 6'4 husband, had. But I see it's not necessary thank goodness

"The Pontypine's are friends of mine, although they're very small. And even when there's 10 of them, they're hardly there at all."

Except Mrs.Pontypine goes to bed with her massive hat on and it overlaps Mr.Pontypine's head....wtf?

I used to end up muttering "there's no sense of scale!" to myself as no one else in the house cared. Luckily the DCs are older now so it's all Victorious and Sam and Cat in our house.

I have been humming the Peppa Pig theme tune for the last month though, no idea how that snuck in again.

The last bastion of my sanity has been tore down with a continuity error.

Timmy Time, I feel betrayed

The Octonaut characters have bizarre scale too -
Firstly, the Octopod must be really small if it is scaled so that a dachshund/penguin/'kitten'(cat)/otter/rabbit and octopus are the standard size for a creature, those animals are all less than knee-height to an adult human. That is about right for a turnip, too.
But if so, HOW DOES AN ADULT POLAR BEAR FIT INSIDE WITH THEM.

SleepingStandingUp · 20/06/2018 16:40

Because because I love it I mean its a rare miniature polar bear that grows to domestic animal size and I love Octonauts and ive lost Timmy Time so shush

Have you watched Baby Jake? Now that is trippy (goggy-Dee-yah!)

SleepingStandingUp · 20/06/2018 17:34

Baby Jake is what happens when you run out of drugs

Aw I miss CBeebies :( kids are 9 and 13 now so no trippy night garden for me!

hannah1992 · 21/06/2018 10:30

I’ll never forget the time my dd was watching this when she was about 3. I was on my laptop while she was watching it and she shouted look mummy the titties are on TV! After explaining they are the tittifers (and failing) she proceeded to tell people that she likes watching the TV show with the titties 😒.

But yes I agree the people who made it are on drugs. I don’t get how they look so small but then the characters who look huge suddenly shrink to fit in them!

I want a magical plinky plonk, you could sail across the skies in it then pop it in your hand luggage

Fucking love in the night garden. Don’t even have kids. No shame, it’s hilarious.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/06/2018 20:27

The tiddle episode was the first time I saw D'S do an actual belly laugh. God we must have watched that 10 times a day for a while.

Someone on here came up with a story about IP being a sailor dying out at sea and the whole thing being his dying hallucinations - & I could barely watch it again since that is so obviously what it's about. Harrowing stuff.

SleepingStandingUp · 21/06/2018 20:38

I read that, but it does say about him sleeping safe and sound so I refuse to believe

I agree @cricketmum84

When you have ballisticsquid, Dan and Denis talking at you from various corners of your house- and the ultimate entertainment is a Fortnite walkthrough- a dissolving snippet of the ITNG theme tune is enough to raise a tear.

SleepingStandingUp · 22/06/2018 09:22

And now we havehave the DVD on. Still, makes a change from Hop, where Russel Brand and Hughie Laurie are The Easter Bunnies
