To hate Bing bunny?

[supersonicginandtonic]

My daughter loves him but I can't stand him. He drives me round the bend.
He's so naughty, whiny and spiteful and never gets disciplined for his actions.
Just watched an episode where he was hit by Pando on the swing and I was glad (lighthearted obviously).
Am I the only person who dislikes the little sh*t!

Have not watched Waffle. Will not watch Waffle. I do love the Twirlywoos but the child is not that interested in them sadly.

I actually can't name a best Duggee episode because they're all fabulous but I do have a soft spot for the Tree Badge.

My take on Bing is that he's being fostered by Flop. That's why they don't look alike, and why Flop remains so extremely calm at all times - lots of training in gentle, positive parenting with no raised voices so as not to trigger Bing who's had a traumatic past. It probably helps that Flop has respite care to look forward to (reckon he spends those days swearing and screaming into pillows, to get it all out of his system, ready for Bing's return!)

I've honestly gone from loathing Daddy Pig to finding him funny to being a bit horrified by how awful they all are to him. I also secretly cheer every time Peppa doesn't get her own way. But I do enjoy some of the adult characters interacting.

I mean Grampy Rabbit's tales of space deserve some sort of recognition surely

I can deal with Peppa being, well Peppa. What I really dislike about the show is how full of awful gender stereotypes and social ideals it is. Everyone with children are married and middle class, the girls are into dolls and playing nurse, the boys like dinosaurs and playing cowboy. The only unmarried woman does a million jobs, because she has no children to worry about. All the grandads are cantankerous old farts who like 'tinkering with things'.

It also really pisses me off how George is instantly brilliant at everything, especially something Peppa is learning how to do. That is a particularly shit message to put out.

Bing is a shit, but then again all his friends are too, and he’s been given no discipline or boundaries to learn anything other than being a whiny little fucker. “It’s no big thing.” WTF, Flop? He’s been a little terrorist and you’re enabling it.

My favourite is when he steps in dog shit. Good.

Not only that, he doesn't speak properly. My son said his toe "hurty" because Bing said it so ive stopped him watching it.

I've had a big gap between my grandchildren, and Waffle dog is a new one to me. Please can someone explain who is who in that family? We've got the dad who married the woman, but whose child is whose and where's their missing parents? I'm confused! Thanks.

The son is the dad's, I think he lives 50/50 between the houses? I think his actual mum has been shown at some point in the programme. The daughter is the mum's but nothing to suggest her dad is around at all, maybe he's dead or in prison but no one will mention it unless they sing an special overly-happy song about it I'm sure. Nothing actually bad happens in Waffle-World, and all negative feelings can be laughed/danced/sang off as everyone else's problem....

Evie's dad was in one episode, he'd been living abroad, maybe Australia and either didn't know about Evie or didn't care about her until that episode. It was the first time she'd met him.

Watch Bluey, it's the best children's programme.

I can't STAND Bing.
My current favourite is Twirlywoos. And I always have a soft spot for Show Me Show Me.

I hate by Peppa and bing (stop bloody whining)
Why is not one concerned in Waffle that their dog is demonic and speaking?
Thankfully my kids both hate waffle.

I love Kiri and Lou and Bluey.
I like Duggee even though he looks like a giant cock. (Weirdly I think it makes me like it more)

Watch out for Bing houses, they make huge money on eBay

Yanbu. I am now watching the episode where he shoplifts and is finally rewarded with a 'carroty muffin' after being told he was brave for owning up after questioning from flop. Not to mention the rage I would have felt after telling him 3 times to go to the toilet and him refusing, to then wet himself and require a change of clothes. The storyline was about laziness rather than toilet training.

Show me show me is THE worst.

Still better than that little bacon bitch Peppa, she riles me something chronic!!

YANBU. I loathe Bing the whingy bunny. We don’t have him on in this house after finding out the hard way (slipper in the loo) that he was a bad influence. He’s really annoying. I’d already said to DH that I didn’t want it on, but he said Bing was good for exploring feelings etc. He’s now come round to my way of thinking...

I also don’t like the grooming the programme does about them being raised by other animals instead of their parents. Not actually lighthearted- there’s a massive push to make surrogacy acceptable in this country and this stuff assists that... (yes, I know you’ll all think I’m insane. But it’s true).

I overthink Bing. Who are his birth parents and why do only Flop, Amma, Paget and Dr. Molly seem to have these enormous adoptees. The parents must keep breeding somewhere behind the scenes as Coco is Bond's cousin, and her brother Charlie is a baby, but yet not with his parents. And why build houses / shops where the adults need kick steps to access anything? Just build them to fit the adults. DD loves it; have to say I prefer some of channel 5's programmes, Paddington, Pip and Posy or Shane the Chef instead.

Bond? Missed that auto-correct. He'd be a bit more interesting then but less age appropriate!

I love Paddington! Ben Whishaw’s voice is so soothing. And Sarah and Duck, that show is so weird and wonderful. I’d happily watch it even without a kid.

Its also his incorrect grammar that pisses me off too! Such a bad role model for children. Glad my daughter doesn't watch him anymore.

Bings cousin coco irrationally irritates me the most! Entitled little madam.
They're all terribly behaved though.

Molly and Mac gives me the rage though, as someone who worked at a real kids summer club, why on earth James can get away with sending the children off with every tom dick and Harry for a sing song and to fuck everything up. Where are the risk assessments and crb's James?!

I hate Bing. Dd has grown out of it now I was so relieved. They were all little shits. That episode where pando farts in the climbing frame cracked me up though

It's all about Bluey in this house. Best show. DH and I watch it with or without DD! All of the characters are just amazing and the humour genuinely has us rolling. I even have it's rendition of "Jupiter, bringer of Joy" in my playlist.

Duggee rocks all our socks. It's absolutely wonderful! It's imaginative, smart, and just a joy. Sarah and Duck is also just wonderfully weird. I've watched every episode of Katie Morag on my own, it's televised hot chocolate. So comforting.

Bing Bunny and Peppa pig are both banned in this house. They encourage whiny, selfish, entitled behaviour in my opinion! Coco is a little know it all, Pando is that weird kid everyone knows, and Bing is a horrible little brat. Flop turns me murderous. I've a good mind to turn him into a doorstop.

@CCC11 That's the main reason I don't let my boys watch it...drives me insane!!

Another Bing hater here. Best episode was when Bing trod in dog shit.

I had double Bing as DS1 was obsessed with it for like a year, and just as he was coming out of that phase DS2 embarked on it.

My worst Bing-related incident was just after DS1, then aged 3, had seen the episode where Bing steals a lolly from Paget’s shop. That week I happened to have picked up a cheap top at Peacocks, made the mistake of not trying it on, and when I got it home it didn’t fit. So on my next day off I planned to take it back.

The day off dawns and DS1 and I are walking to the shops. He asks what we will be doing and i explain I’ll need to take the top back to Peacocks.

He says solemnly, just as a man is approaching us, “Yes, because you didn’t pay for it.” I protest, “yes I did! It didn’t fit me!” DS fixes me with a sorrowful stare and says, “no, mama, we have to take it back because you didn’t pay for it, and that’s called stealing.” The passer by shakes his head at me in deep disapproval and disgust.

HE WAS BEING BLOODY FLOP IN THE LOLLY EPISODE.

FUCK YOU BING!
