March 28, 20205 yr Popular Post This is the dumbest motherfucking godawful children's tv show I've ever had the misfortune of having to suffer through. And I've lived through both Barney and the Teletubbies with my elder child. I mean, at least Barney had songs, and some semblance of dignity preserved by hiding inside a purple dinosaur costume. And Teletubbies had songs, too, and children thankfully outgrew it within moments. This is just episode after episode of this orange and purple wearing asshole dancing like a fucking dipshit in playgrounds intended for kids a fraction of his age, as if he belongs there. Seriously, folks. Where the fuck is Chris Hansens now that we fucking need him the most? Is he "social distancing" his ass away from Blippi? Praise God that there aren't liquor shortages in the stores. But there isn't enough liquor in the entire British Isles to make this dumbfuck shittery tolerable. Fuck. FUUUUUCK. IT'S FREE ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO. I should cancel my Prime account, just so my daughter can't ask to watch this fucking asshole any more. I can tell her, "Sorry, we had to cut back, can't see him any more. How about Peppa Pig?" I fucking love Peppa Pig. At least Peppa Pig has some fantastic jokes in it just for the parents. Like the episode with the Wolf kid's birthday party, where the Wolves keep making subtle suggestions towards the sheep kid and her parents. Or the Halloween episode, where one of the kids dresses up as a vampire, the teacher says "That reminds me of the old country," and the Narrator helpfully points out that she isn't casting a reflection in the mirror. See, that's not much, but it's something. Like we are now on our second episode of this fuckshitdickless dumbfuck playing around with toy trucks and making squeaky noises. I can feel it, Dave. My mind is going. OK, I've typed enough, time to see how much whiskey I have left. God....
March 28, 20205 yr Author by the way, if any of you dumbfucks try to go look this up for yourselves and see just how awful it is, why don't you just go watch goatse.cx or tubgirl or something similar instead and spare your eyes the trouble just say no
March 28, 20205 yr Author not that pj masks is good, mind you it's just not tv programming created by goddamned illithids.

Quote “Yes, I did make a gross-out comedy video when I was in my early twenties, long before I started Blippi,” John said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. Edited March 28, 20205 yr by atomheartbevo

March 29, 20205 yr Apple and Onion is funny as shit. Some episodes are better than others, and it's one of those shows where you kind of need to know the characters to fully appreciate some of it, so don't bail right away if you aren't sold after one or two episodes. Big City Greens is also good, though I hate the little girl's hayseed accent. Teen Titans Go is also good.

It’s almost completely stop-motion, won a bunch of Emmys, and I find myself watching just to see how they constructed the sets. It’s amazing that there are still folks able to do this.
March 29, 20205 yr Also, When You Give a Mouse a Cookie series on Amazon Prime, based on the books, is great, but the song gets stuck in your head. My first grader and 4 year-old love Rugrats as well. The newer Thunderbirds Are Go series on Amazon Prime is also awesome, but maybe a tad older. It’s a bunch of stop-motion mixed with CGI, and done by WETA (Lord of the Rings folks).

But that’s also a horrific take and I feel bad when I mention it.

March 29, 20205 yr Solid rant. Unfortunately I knew exactly what you were talking about and was laughing my ass off reading it.

Dude started by making videos for his nephew while he was in the air force then he got out, the videos were doing so well on youtube, so he made more. Then amazon took notice, and now he makes a couple of million dollars a year doing the easiest thing imaginable. Props to him
March 29, 20205 yr Coincidentally, I've heard of Blippi (from my 1st grade class), but my own 7 year-old has no idea who he is. Blippi sucks. He's like a wannabe PeeWee Herman w/ pseudo educational value and no humor. Now, if you really want to punch someone in the face, try FGTV.

Yeah, it’s mesmerizing for little kids. Like I said, having grown up watching a bunch of stop-motion movies, I’m in awe of the technical expertise behind it. And it does not annoy me one bit. And my wife as well. It’s one of the few shows we will let the kids binge.
March 30, 20205 yr Yeah, I couldn't watch that guy for more than a nanosecond. My kids are teenagers now, but whenever they fuck up I still use "You have caused confusion and delay!" from Thomas the Train. I had a thing for Nina on The Goodnight Show. She still around?

July 3, 20205 yr Author Help. She's watching it again. "Please. Anything. Anything but Blippi." "Blippiiiiiii!" She was into Phineas and Ferb for a bit. THAT is fucking awesome. Pretty sure that Blippi is one of Doofenshmirtz's plots to rot our minds. halp

Not today. Today, we have to watch Future To Catch A Predator Guest Star Blippi.
July 3, 20205 yr Stickman, room on the broom, are all good as well. But seriously, suck it up. One day she won’t want you to watch with her.

The adults crack me up and hit a little too close to home. Or get Disney+ and run through the Disney Junior stuff and the Toy Story movies, but not 3. Skip 3 for now.
July 3, 20205 yr Settle a dispute for me. Archer is cool for an 8 year old right? Sister totally overreacting

Thanks throwing his only love his daughter off a cliff is something tall fathers/daughters should watch together at a young age to help establish how things are going to work
July 3, 20205 yr My 5 YO loved Peppa and Dinosaur Train at age 3+ (I really enjoyed watching both with her). At age 4, somebody turned her on to "The Paw Patrol." I love dogs, but if I could send those fuckers to North Korea to be made into stew, I would. She's just now weening off of Paw Patrol. I fucking hate them. The show sucks, the toys are expensive and shitty, and I fucking hate the show. T There was an episode where Chase, the German Shepherd Police dog, had a cold. So in real life, her Chase stuffed animal had a cold. For three goddamn months. Little did I know this was a precursor to Covid-19. Every day before work/school, we try to have some daddy-daughter play time. For three months, that consisted of us tucking Chase in on the sofa and her just making coughing sounds for 90 minutes and us bringing him pretend soup. She wouldn't talk to me or play anything else or let me play music while we played. We just had to sit there and "listen" to Chase coughing and pat his head. Three months of quality, interactive, and educational play just gone from because of that stupid fucking episode. Who makes a cartoon about a dog with a cough? People on acid? Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Any other cool show recommendations for a 5 year old that at least try to have some semblance of moral or educational uplift?
July 3, 20205 yr Wife and I couldn't take blippy so we stopped letting our 2 year old watch it and tried a bunch of other stuff. He liked Steve and Maggie even better. It's pretty annoying, it's a British guy and a bird puppet that's just him in falsetto. But it's educational and Steve isn't a pedophile who shits on his friends so there's that. Blippy is not just annoying but he's creepy and doesn't provide any sort of education potential.
July 3, 20205 yr This reminds me a lot of this. Worth the six minutes. If you can't afford six minutes, start about 2:00 in. Edited July 3, 20205 yr by phdhorn

Ben and Holly is from the same group that did Peppa Pig, could try and get them on that - the same voices might interest them. Like I said, Rugrats is very tolerable as a parent. Tumbleleaf is fascinating from a technical point of view. There's a bunch of stuff that's fairly new to Netflix, that's.....better than Blippi. Or there's around 30 years of Simpsons...
July 3, 20205 yr I've watched that Groove Tube sketch probably 50 times and I still lose my shit when he opens up the first book "Fanny Hill" and lights his cigarette. 35 years since I first watched it and I crack the fuck up. Have some rep. Edited July 3, 20205 yr by Lobo
July 3, 20205 yr @lobo have you tried wild Kratts or Molly of Denali? Thanks to WK, our kids have been dropping random animal facts since they were 4. They definitely have a better shot at IDing some random animal outside of the SE TX region than I do at this point Edited July 3, 20205 yr by UT_OB1

So much crap in the store I just gave up looking a long time ago. Only thing I got was Starfall
July 3, 20205 yr I used to hate Blippy, but then I realized anybody who has a song about excavators and skid steers is alright. There was also one where he was looking at a charger police car or something and he said something about the cool being under the hood. So the guy clearly likes cars and construction equipment and wants to teach little kids about it. At least when my kid is watching Blippy I don't have to worry about it being some random YouTube video that might not be appropriate.

July 3, 20205 yr Author Just about anything on PBS Kids is great. Love Curious George. And there's a reason Sesame Street is still on today... They always leave the best jokes for the parents.
July 3, 20205 yr Damn straight. We still watch Sesame street every now and again. My youngest (15 months) will be old enough to start engaging and enjoying it in another few months, I'm excited for that. The movie parodies they do on HBO are great. I forget their clever title, but it was based on "Boardwalk Empire." My wife and I cracked up and watched it a half dozen times while our oldest just stared at us in confusion.
July 3, 20205 yr My 2 year old just started watching Blippi. Hes incredibly annoying. My wife was very depressed when she read Blippi is making several million a year.
