the stupid big eyes

the irritating bad grammar - it's not endearing, it's stupid

the wrinkly skin instead of a nose

the girls are pink and purple and pathetic

cheebies? eh?

The random levitation

plinky plonky music

the fake plastic looking grass in the idyllic garden-with-waterfall

Now I'm struggling, I've only ever seen the odd minute while I scrabble for the remote but I hate it.

you know, despite only one response, that was amazingly therapeutic!

nomorecake · 15/12/2010 16:53

all the mispronunciation and made up words.

yoga not yogo. (ds now 'corrects' me when i say yoga Angry)

Butterfly not nara -flippin- bug.

children not bloody cheebies.

football not kicky thing.

Tomatoes NOT Plumatoes!!!!!!!

to name a few.

makes you feel better, doesn't it?

it's the horrible noses that REALLY get me - no hole but still wrinkles up. Eeeewwwww.

I find the children in it really irritating as well - luckily DS normally gets bored of it within a couple of minutes so at least I get to turn off the tv.
He's discovered my Flumps DVD this week - ah those were the days, proper children's telly.

tinselthechaffinch · 16/12/2010 16:42

I really hate the music when the cheebies come down the path- not sure why- just seems irritatingly triumphalist for some reason.

Their huge eyes and weirdly flat heads

The whining that goes on in every bloody episode- 'yojojo sad becuase he can't play the sodding recorder' or whatever

The fake plants-why not have real plants with flowers or fruit on them?

The cheebies bits of dialogue actually as the effect of making me hate children.

AntonDuBurk · 16/12/2010 17:16

I made the mistake of saying I hated it in front of DD (4).

"It's not stupid, Mummy. It's BEAUTIFUL!"

I felt a bit bad Xmas Blush

Rhian82 · 16/12/2010 17:20

Oh yes the whining and the misunderstandings irritate me. Want to slap them.

TwentiethCenturyChristmasCarol · 16/12/2010 17:21

Ohhhhh, I hate Waybuloo and have to dive for the remote every time it comes on. No reasons to add, it's just hideous. They never seem to take it off air either, it's on every time I switch on the telly, every single time (maybe).

MissFit · 16/12/2010 17:33

I hate the way they talk about their feelings, and work things out, and are always so helpful and reasonable. I'd love them to have a bad day for once. Yojojo would wallop Noktok, LAu lau would have a tantrum and kick one of the cheebees and Dee-Li won't share any of her bloody strawberries and scoff them all herself. And then vomit all over the windchimes.

it would really make me happy if someone agreed with me about their seriously messed up noses.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the above.

BellaBearisWideAwake · 17/12/2010 09:09

hands down my most hated cbeebies programme. and I don't usually moan. I LIKE cbeebies

OP posts:
Miggsie · 17/12/2010 09:15

Not only do I loathe this programme but I am irrationally pissed off by the monkey character wearing pants.

I don't know why, the characters obviously have no genetals but the monkey wearing pants riles me even worse than the characters referring to themselves by name and not saying "I".

OK...and I hate the noses, please please can they die of asphyxia and/or their necks snap with the weight of those hideous enormous heads.

EauRudolph · 17/12/2010 09:20

Yes to everything already said. I want to add 'peeka'. It's peekaBOO or peepo if you prefer, not sodding 'peeka'. And the soft, pathetic voices and giggling, grrrr.

LoveTheCarbs · 17/12/2010 11:19

I agree with everyone - i hate, hate, HATE it! But DS seems to love it and stands glued to the telly when it's on. I especially hate the way they don't talk properly or use the proper words eg cheebies, yogo. What is that all about? It's just a terrible show. Bring back 64 Zoo Lane!

RockinRobinBird · 17/12/2010 11:21

I absolutely agree with everything above. But DD lying on the floor pretending to be a fish is too cute, so I'll forgive them :)

GentleOtter · 17/12/2010 11:30

I just don't get it- it is like Deal or no Deal, I don't get that either.
There is something about Waybuloo which throws you into a coma after ooh three minutes, it must be subliminal as it is impossible to watch for any longer after they go dreamy and say 'Dojo'.

Dojo = coma
