To think Mummy Pig is a little stuck up..?

Absolutely love Peppa Pig, it's very funny - for adults and kids. Just watched 'The Market' and was a bit shocked at how snobby Mummy Pig was towards Mr Fox. "Our house doesn't need a singing plastic fish". Said with a lot of condemnation and middle class snobbery...

I still remember the horrible day ds asked to watch peppa... it was a very upsetting conversation for me 😂😂 thank the lord he now likes ben and holly and fireman sam instead of the bratty wee piggy who would make a good bacon roll Grin

DGS (2) has developed a passion for PP - especially George and Mr Dinosaur

If you're ever travelling anywhere near Hatfield, make sure you take him to see the Mr Dinosaur roundabout! With a top-notch diagram like that, I'm assuming that the head of the Herts road-planning dept is a MNer Grin

My 3 children (all between 5 and 11) regularly revert back to Peppa Pig, then we have to watch it for days and days until they’ve every episode again. I don’t think they ever grow out of it 😩.

Funnily though, the eldest understands all the “in” jokes for adults now, so she’s seeing PP through brand new eyes.

Please pp don’t mention fireman Sam

The best peppa pig is the Scottish one on YouTube

Totally agree re Paw Patrol it's so completely charmless by comparison. Peppa Pig is lovely as cartoons go imo

RLOU30 · 10/03/2019 22:58

The best one is when the parrot goes to get granny pig for help and calls her a silly old bird

Crunchymum · 10/03/2019 22:59

Your child must be 3 days old, if you love Peppa fucking pig???

Unihorn · 10/03/2019 23:12

I used to hate Peppa but I tolerate it far more now. My health visitor also told me that the speech patterns used are supposed to be better for helping children speak than other shows, but she may just have been making me feel better after having my second baby and sticking the first one in front of the TV.

Definitely agree that the whistling episode is the best. I also quite like it when Peppa and Suzy fall out and refuse to apologise to each other first. Unfortunately my 2yo now likes to say 'we're not best friends any more' if I do something she doesn't like Grin

I assumed Miss Rabbit has a backstory, maybe gambling or addiction, to need all of those jobs. Hadn’t considered zero hours

I thought there was more than one Miss Rabbit. I'm sure there's at least two, the idea being that rabbits breed lots. So it's a different one doing a different job.

'Your child must be 3 days old, if you love Peppa fucking pig???'

Or just don't watch that much TV?

Peppa Pig is best enjoyed as an occasional treat. Too much and it does become wearing.

SurgeHopper · 10/03/2019 23:59

My fave character is a close call between Mr. Wolf and Mrs. Hamster the vet.

Mr.Wolf's voice is so sexy Blush

Smelborp · 11/03/2019 00:06

@TheOxymoron it is enjoyable!

I also liked ‘desert island where Grampy rabbit makes a mark every time he thinks about cheese.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 11/03/2019 00:17

Peppa is a brat that needs to be bacon

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 11/03/2019 00:18

I stopped DD watching it. Its awful!

Peppa is a brat, her parents are useless and the voices and theme are more annoying than Mr Tumble!

fluffylittleclouds · 11/03/2019 00:21

I love how mummy pig is the competent one doing DIY and speaking french etc whilst daddy ‘I’m an expert at this’ pig is totally useless at everything Grin Good strong female role model for girls

7Pip · 11/03/2019 00:27

Try TinyPop
I cry even hearing the name.

Grumpasaurus · 11/03/2019 00:29

Oh I HATE PEPPA PIG.

She is such a brat.

Her parents are awful.

Her grandparents are rich and snobby.

I have got DS onto Ben and Holly which is marginally better, if you can get over the sexist and classist undertones (I can't, usually)...

mjnair · 11/03/2019 00:30

Mr bull always concerns me - why does he rock up at all the nursery events but does not have a child of his own!

Movingtoplanetclanger · 11/03/2019 00:38

Daddy pig is a total cocklodger. Remember, that time when he forgot to go to work because he thought Thursday was Saturday-wanker.

Mummy pig has anger issues but I can't really blame her. She does seems slightly snobby too.

Peppa is a cow and a fat shamer. I quite like her friendship with Suzy though, pretty realistic.

PP and blown and Ben and Holly have issues with gender and class stereotypes. I keep waiting for the elf revolution.

By far the worst Peppa pig is when daddy pig believes his balls will fall off if he plays football in a pink shirt though. Fuck off!

(Did I mention I'm not daddy pigs biggest fan?)

NannyPear · 11/03/2019 00:39

Brilliant thread. I actually get quite happy when DS asks for Peppa over other shows (though I do have a soft spot for Fireman Sam).

Personally I'm a fan of Mummy Pig. I think she shows a lot of restraint and patience!

PatchworkElmer · 11/03/2019 13:04

Movingtoplanetclanger that football episode is shocking, I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it!!

Movingtoplanetclanger · 11/03/2019 14:21

I know Elmer dp has heard my rant about it million times and so avoids that episode when it appears in the Netflix queue. He doesn't like it either tbf to him.

outpinked · 11/03/2019 14:22

I think Daddy Pig is emotionally abused.

nonevernotever · 11/03/2019 14:27

Never watched Peppa Pig (though I might have to now) but surely it's "Load-bearing" rather than low-bearing?
