I’m being currently subjected to a Peppa Pig marathon as I watch my nephew. They are visiting the zoo.
Some kinds of animals are clearly “people” - like Peppa and the zookeepers. But other animals are non speaking - animals. They showed non talking penguins eating fish - are fish not “people” either?
The zookeeper is a lion who confuses the teacher - some sort of gazelle - with a wildebeest as a running joke, which seems to suggest that he thinks of her as food.
Some of the jokes in this show seem targeted to adults, which makes no sense, as absolutely nothing in this show is watchable to anyone above the age of 4.
It may not be watchable but as a parent you end up watching it anyway. And Peppa is one of the better ones to be subjected to IMHO.
Peppa isn’t as bad as shit like Caillou, but Bluey is the best one by a mile.
Yeah I agree Bluey FTW.
Put on Bluey.
Others to try:
- Frog & Toad
- Wild Kratts
- Tumble Leaf
- Interrupting Chicken
- Shape Island
- Jake & The Neverland Pirates
- Not Quite Narwhal
- Sago Mini Friends
- Doc McStuffins
- Duck & Goose
And dont put peppa back on.
I fully agree on putting on Bluey. It’s so good.
How do gorillas, chimpanzees and humans all exist at the same time?
Never thought about it this way, but I really like this. I’ve tried to explain the difference between Goofy and Pluto to my kids on multiple occasions. This seems like a really easy way to put it.

Clearly you never saw the one where Peppa is a stone-cold bitch when she realizes everybody but her can whistle or learn within seconds.
She got her teddy bear dirty, and was super rude at the “doll hospital.” What a spoiled brat.
Oh, Peppa is a total asshat, but she’d generally have to eat shit in a way certain other kids’ animation asshats didn’t (coughcalilloucough). There was enough of old-school cartoon and comic strip tropes from Warner Brothers shorts and Peanuts that it wasn’t the worst show to endure.
How does Splatoon have a vendor that sells shrimp based food, who is himself a sentient shrimp.
The animals don’t “work” because they are valued team members that don’t work for us but rather contract with us while wearing Peppa Pig TM logos on their clothing.
This work is strictly voluntary, but any team member who absents themselves from it will have their rations reduced by half. :)
It reminds me of hypnotoad. Went from bouncing off the wall, having sobbing on the floor meltdowns over the fact that my car is broken and demanding everything in the pantry to zonking out on the couch like a frat kid watching Koyaanisqatsi on his first edible.
Clearly the people of peppa pig universe are some kind of human and animal hybrid. They are different than the regular animals.
Oh it’s watchable, just not for the sake of enjoyment.
It is called double-coding and it is targeted to you as the bored grown up.
The video here explains it clearly
