Which CBeebies character would make the worst partner?

Pat would be worst- clearly takes ages to make every delivery. Not a fan of his own home life.

Andy disappearing back in time/across continents/ to band rehearsals would run him a close second.

Thoughts?

Justin fletcher just no . I like the dad from
Topsy and Tim though seems to be very hands on kind of dad and doesn't mind a shit tip of a house

metellaestinatrio · 10/07/2020 18:23

Another vote for the dad from Waffle and his dreadful cardigans - how did he manage to get both those women to fall for him?! He doesn’t seem up to much as a teacher either....

RedCouch · 10/07/2020 18:27

Mr Tumble. No room in his bed anyway with all the stuffed toys, and you'd have to get your "yes dear..." face on when he cracks out the train tracks, party invitations for you through the living room door and burying his socks in sand pits

OBVIOUSLY sleepy Dibillo from “Moon and Me”. Always has to have his pal Mr Onion drag him around on a cushion. He’s as lazy AF.

DD says a pontipine because they're really fucking tiny. She has a point.

Minai · 10/07/2020 18:34

I can imagine Grandmaster Glitch being a bloody nightmare as a partner.

Pogmella · 10/07/2020 18:35

Came on to say the Waffle doggy layabout dad. Clearly hung like a horse or how on earth has he persuaded his two perfectly together looking baby mamas to procreate...

DH has a theory that the Topsy mum is actually a functioning alcoholic and the dad is run ragged holding the family together with her mum’s help...

TerrifiedandWorried · 10/07/2020 18:36

DH says Miss Hoolie because she's really annoying. He then added that if he had to choose he would have Miles Jupp. Lockdown is really starting to get to us now.

Pogmella · 10/07/2020 18:38

Oh what’s the one set in Fife with the girl and her brother/dad that own the market? He couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag...

whensmynexthol1day · 10/07/2020 18:41

Hey duggee. Spends all the time on his bloody hobby

Morred · 10/07/2020 18:56

Mr Maker would be ok as long as he shares his coke supply.

Definitely Waffle the allegedly wonder god Dad would be the worst.

Or presumably any of the male partners in JoJo and GranGran who have entirely understandably found themselves unable to live with the irritation.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 10/07/2020 18:59

Baby Jakes dad- I assume he’s got a touch of the Radfords, forcing his wife to breed through the alphabet!

Fifawidow · 10/07/2020 19:02

@herecomethehotstepper shes an ex wife for a reason and look at the house shes in 🤣🤣

ThickFast · 10/07/2020 19:10

The mum off topsy and tim. I swear she’s secretly shagging around and off her face on opioids

HenSolo · 10/07/2020 19:10

Came here to say the Waffle dad with the guitar. Although I saw him in a playground with his real kid a few months ago and he looked harassed and bored, so a normal parent in real life Grin

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 10/07/2020 19:12

PC Plum from Balamory. Health and safety jobsworth.

ChachiChichi · 10/07/2020 19:18

Keith Fit off Gigglebiz - he's not even fit, and comes across as a total narcissist. Plus electric shocks from the tracksuits.

Ohtherewearethen · 10/07/2020 19:26

We noticed that Greendale has a high proportion of red-headed children and single parents in our house too but I just can't believe that Pat would be such a shagger. I won't believe it.
I think the shittest would be Daddy Pig. I think that whole family are just the worst.

@LegitSnack

Did you k is he is also the voice of fireman Sam?! I didn’t and my mind was blown (also wondering about no penis situation)Grin

Scout2016 · 10/07/2020 19:36

Creepy as fuck Makka Pakka with his sponge fetish, painful voice and OCD Blair Witch stone piling.

Scout2016 · 10/07/2020 19:46

I will look at Postman Pat in a whole new light now.... like Pat Mustard the milkman out of Father Ted with all those hairy babies. Maybe it's a fictional Pat lotharios thing....

MsJuniper · 10/07/2020 19:51

Totally the dad from Waffle. Glad I'm not alone. Both parents are awful actually.

Pogmella · 10/07/2020 19:53

In Waffle the neighbour is portrayed as very uptight but even as a dog lover if my neighbour’s dog continually appeared IN MY HOUSE things would sour between us pretty quickly no natter how verbose the mutt was

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 10/07/2020 20:33

Waffle isn't even clever. He's just a freak with the right anatomy to be able to speak like a human. All of what he says is bilge.

iklboo · 10/07/2020 20:43

Granny Murray - too bloody cheerful
