To think we can all learn something from Flop

Flop is the most even tempered, tolerant, laid back person / sock / weird stuffed rabbit ever. He puts up with all manner of whining and bullshit from Bing and his mates but never, ever loses it. Should we all just chill out like Flop?

Eh?

NoneOfYour32Potatoes · 11/02/2022 18:13

Does Flop smoke dope? Who is Flop?

Why put up with whining and bullshit from Bing? I wouldn’t.

No one should be like Flop and take Bing’s bullshit.

ToykotoLosAngeles · 11/02/2022 18:14

I dunno. I suspect the Flop-creatures kidnapped all the bunnies to raise as their own.

2reefsin30knots · 11/02/2022 18:17

Flop is facilitating Bing's bullshit and Bing is growing up to be a dick. No Flop, no.

thistimelastweek · 11/02/2022 18:18

Bing is a whiny git and Flop is punchable.

Each, in their own way, has a voice that makes my teeth grind.

I hate kids' telly that packs a little moral lesson in every single fucking episode.

Rewritethestars1 · 11/02/2022 18:20

Flop smokes weed.
I want to be a bit more like flop but not too much as he's over indulgent and bing is going to find the grown up world very hard.

Pingu for the win. They just warble at each other and move shit around. That’s entertainment.

LividLaVidaLoca · 11/02/2022 18:27

It’s no big thing. It’s just a little clumbo.

DiscordandRhyme · 11/02/2022 18:40

Flop is so unrealistic any normal person would've lost their shit at Bing.

Sloughsabigplace · 11/02/2022 18:44

Bing is a whinging little cunt.

If I was Flop, Bing would go missing and it would be rabbit stew for dinner.

This. Bing is so whiney and Flop has to put up with it because he enables it!
TooOldToBeAGoth · 11/02/2022 18:44

Being a whiny little shite everyday and no doubt pushing poor Flop to his absolute limit - it’s a Bing thing.

LtMoose · 11/02/2022 18:46

Ignore all the haters OP! Instead of what would Jesus do, I like to ask myself what what flop do when my children are being difficult 😆😆😆

fourandnomore · 11/02/2022 18:48

I always thought wow is this what other parents are like? Am I a monster as I don’t parent like Flop? I feel much better after reading these responses Grin

Sorry I'm too freaked by the show to take anything from it. Why is everything in the kitchen too big for Bing and Flop? Where did the adults go? Are they all dead? Were there ever parents? What is Flop? Why is a baby rabbit the same size as a baby panda?

miltonj · 11/02/2022 18:50

Flop is clearly bings carer rather than his parent. So that explains why he's a bit more gentle with him.

AuntyJanet · 11/02/2022 18:53

I get the impression Flop and the other sock people hit the town HARD when they get a day off. If they get a day off.

You missed the main issue, which is Pando taking off his trousers as soon as he gets to the park.

Flop is probably on valium or some kind of functioning alcoholic. It's the only explanation.

SpottyStripyDuvet · 11/02/2022 19:01

Thankfully we are past Bing now. I like to think I am a gentle parent but Flop needs to grow a fucking backbone or Bing will be a whingy little shit forever.

I aspire to be more Flop, absolute patience of a saint.

This. And how the heck do they lift Charlie in and out of his buggy?

I thought this, but then why does every other sock puppet have a day job too?
NoneOfYour32Potatoes · 11/02/2022 19:31

Nice one, GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou,
Who doesn’t want to “noot noot” at everyone all day long while sliding around on the ice.

I especially like the noot nooting at the rubbish bin. That’s living. Without moralising.
