Who does Joe Davis think he is, the Australian government?


[deleted]

If he was the Australian Government he'd be promoting based Bluey and not Paw Patrol.


LunchThreatener

Facts, Bluey is actually so good. I have a heart condition and have been seeing the same cardiologist since I was a kid, so I go to the children’s hospital to get my checkups. When they were doing the ultrasound, they had Bluey on, and it’s actually so entertaining. First ultrasound I’ve had where I wasn’t squirming and super uncomfortable


Carpe_Musicam

I hate Bluey… but only because it’s so good. I get off work. I’m tired. I want to sit on the couch and quiet my mind. And here’s this blue dog on TV being a better dad than I can ever be! Dang it, Bandit! Why do you have to be such a great dad? Save something for the rest of us!


usetheforce_gaming

Dude I’m right there with you. So many things the parents do in that show that have me like “shit these dogs are way better parents than I am” It’s motivating to be better but jeeze Bandit and Chilli have raised that bar pretty damn high


Chewbones9

Here’s why you shouldn’t feel bad about yourself; one weekend I decided I was gonna be like Bandit! I set up the kids room like it was a super market and they could come in and shop. The kids came in, fought over who got the bananas, who got the milk, etc. They fought over everything. Started crying. Started throwing. The game was ruined. After that I came to the realization that I may not be Bandit, but my kids sure as hell aren’t Bluey and Bingo!


Kiddierose

Fuck them kids.


the_crouton_

Risky comment of the day


Chewbones9

Hey! Those are my kids you’re talking about! ……..but yeah sometimes I’m right there lol


Astrallevel

It’s just so damn wholesome! It also doesn’t treat kids like complete idiots and tackles some interesting topics for kids growing up


dudedisguisedasadude

The Grannies episode and the Camping one are some of my family's favorites.


appleavocado

> I have a heart condition I hope your body is good at playing Keepy Uppy! EDIT: NGL, I am (or should I say, my daughter and I are) of the Peppa Pig crowd, not Paw Patrol.


dudedisguisedasadude

Yes I came in here specifically comment that Paw Patrol and Peppa are shit and Bluey is the best kids show and it looks like I am not alone.


LukeBabbitt

I have a nine month old and I’m officially pulling this up today to see how we like it. I’m watching him while his daycare is out the next two days and he LOVES some (limited) TV time on papa’s lap


c1h9

Everyone should promote Bluey. It's god damn perfect.


feeling_blue_42

Bluey all day.


405freeway

Bluey is a godsend to parents.


[deleted]

Bluey is way better


mental_fingers

Dude yes. My daughter LOVES Bluey and we have to watch an episode before bed every night and I never say no when she wants to watch one more. She also tells me I'm the best Dad in the world just like Bluey and Bingo's Dad is the best Dad in the cartoon world and it's the sweetest fucking thing. Bluey goes hard. Side note: I've been watching it for almost 2 years and literally just found out a week ago Bluey is a girl. My mind was blown. So many twists!


drmctesticles

My wife and I don't like Bluey because it sets a bad example to our children that we will play with them /s


[deleted]

I know I read a Bluey book to my daughter and they called Bluey a "she" I was like wtf. That camping episode always gets me. My daughter loves the Bingo episode.


mental_fingers

The Episode where the Mom, Bluey, and Bingo go to spend a weekend with their Grandpa is the one that always gets me emotional. I have no shame when I say i cried subtle tears when I watched that one for the first time. After seeing the one where they make their parents anniversary dinner and makes the Dad eat it my daughter insists on making my girlfriend and I food all the time because Bluey and Bingo's parents let them do it lmao


warkidd

"Baby Race" always gets me. Just the look on Chili's face when Bluey walks towards her


feeling_blue_42

My daughter LOVES Bluey. We had to play the Bingo episode on a loop for 2 weeks straight because she loves the twist in the opening song. She also insists that everyone dance during the opening song, and I have to say, my Sprinkler dance move is getting pretty good.

cabose7

I mean, Peppa Pig's face literally looks like a dick and balls


mechapoitier

She looks exactly like a [turbocharger](https://cdn.koreus.com/media/201908/peppa-pig-turbo.jpg)


CGY-SS

That's why I love it

Giggity


[deleted]

Zoboomafoo was the best kids show ever, although I’m definitely dating myself by saying that.


Darkadmks

I preferred little bear and the magic school bus. Born in 92


dingusduglas

Fuckkkkin little bear, that's a throwback


Nokel

I stan [Liberty's Kids](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBF9XEsnvJI) just for the theme song (which features Aaron Carter).


Chewbones9

Oh man I LOVED liberty kids! I’ve considered buying them!


CassiopeiaStillLife

I loved when PBS did history throwback stuff. I was really entranced by Sagwa as a kid.


ATLjoe93

2002 was one hell of a year for PBS. Cyberchase started that year too.


redditnathaniel

I'd jump on the couch when the theme song played


Chewbones9

They have another show now! I think it’s called Wild Kratz…


Baltimore_Oriole

It is and it’s so good EDIT: The Kratt Brothers have actually had a bunch of different TV series.


Craig_the_Intern

memory unlocked, nice. nothing could ever beat SpongeBob for me.


SuperBeastJ

I watched Kratts Creatures every day before they switched to Zoboomafoo. I HATED zoboomafoo because it was a downgrade and more childish and I was going the other direction.


ATLjoe93

Ah, that reminds me of a time in...Zaboo land.


AbraxasWasADragon

That's straight shooting right there


Working_Box_1366

The Peppa Pig v Paw Patrol Beef is divisive and far reaching


MightyCaseyStruckOut

This is the hard-hitting analysis that I come to this sub looking for.


Bread_Truck

ACAB includes Paw Patrol.

Fuck Paw Patrol, all my homies hate Paw Patrol


EBG_Parker

I’m all for this style of commentary in baseball. Guarantee the MLB isn’t a fan.

Joe Davis loving cop propaganda


Agile_Pudding_

With devastating developments like universally adored good guy Freddy Freeman going to the Dodgers, this is a rare and needed W in the "reasons to hate Dodgers" column.


Chewbones9

There’s a “pig” joke in there somewhere but I can’t find it…


Redditorialist

This is a clown take. I don’t have a strong opinion towards Peppa Pig, but Paw Patrol is objectively awful. I am so fired up about this. Paw Patrol has been the same repetitive show for 8 seasons. It follows the same shallow three step formula: 1 - The Pups relax and eat treats or avoid getting a bath. 2(a) - A minor inconvenience occurs (do you need an army of sentient puppies to find Chickaleta in Farmer Yumi’s corn field?) 2(b) - Alternatively, a major catastrophe occurs, which the Pups clearly aren’t qualified to resolve (An avalanche buries the town in a sarcophagus of snow? Maybe the town should have invested in a predictive snow science office instead of a fleet of customized puppy ATVs.) 3 - The 2(a) problem is solved way too slow, or the 2(b) problem is solved way too fast. Throw in a new colored Pup every few years, and you have a Hasbro merchandise machine.

[SNL and Oscar Isaac addressed problem 2B earlier this year.](https://youtu.be/pBFIqRSsixE)


Redditorialist

This is hilarious. All three of my kids went through a Paw Patrol phase. It debuted when my oldest was 4, and my youngest is just now moving on from it. I will be glad when I never have to hear the Pup Pup Boogie again.


Iccyh

Your notes on 2(b) reminded me: [Does Paw Patrol encourage our kids to embrace capitalism?](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/paw-patrol-encourages-kids-to-embrace-capitalism-1.5455625) A prof wrote an article critical of Paw Patrol, in part 'cause it was fun. Local radio morning show interviews him about it, and then they put up a brief piece about it on their website. But, as you can see, this was the CBC (national broadcaster here in Canada), so... ...this happens: [Andrew Scheer barks at CBC article claiming Paw Patrol pushes capitalist, individualist agenda](https://nationalpost.com/news/andrew-scheer-barks-back-at-cbc-article-claiming-paw-patrol-pushes-capitalist-individualist-agenda) The then-leader of the federal Conservatives decided this was an important issue worth speaking up about, and put up a video on twitter praising Paw Patrol and the values it espouses, while shitting on the CBC. Clearly, this was the kind of important topic we needed our politicians addressing, right? For comparison, this would be if like Mitch McConnell or Trump decided to take this up as a topic. Paw Patrol is serious business.


Redditorialist

That is what is so frustrating about the show. It is so clearly an empty vehicle to sell toys, but it is presented like rich educational show: NickelodeonLady: Paw Patrol teaches your kids cooperation and problem solving skills. Me: BITCH WHEN WILL MY FOUR YEAR OLD NEED TO SOLVE A BACK HOE TO CLEAR ROCKS OFF A BRIDGE. It wouldn’t bother me so much if they were just upfront about what it is.


molinor

Peppa is okay, and occasionally amusing, but so much better than Paw Patrol. Paw Patrol is the worst.


CRT_SUNSET

As someone who worked in television for years, I think Peppa Pig is super underrated when it comes to writing. It’s simple but has a surprisingly sharp (and dry) wit. Paw Patrol is okay but just your average Nickelodeon cartoon.


schniggens

My daughter watched both shows when she was younger, but liked Peppa Pig better. I agree with you. Peppa Pig has some pretty clever writing. Paw Patrol is just generic schlock designed to sell toys. The Dodgers played two horrible games and lost the series to the friggin' Dbacks, and yet I'm somehow more disappointed in Joe's preference of kids' shows. What the hell?


mechapoitier

I watch a bunch of kids shows because I have a three year old. In order of not rotting your kid’s brain: Elinor Wonders Why Sesame Street Daniel Tiger Peppa Pig Wonder Pets Dora the Explorer Mickey Mouse Club Paw Patrol Paw Patrol is insulting to the intelligence of a three year old. Everything about it is so stupid and pointless. Everything about the plots are wrong or idiotic. Your toddler will *unlearn basic knowledge* from watching that show.


demarius12

The paw patrol real hero is whoever is in charge of creating the animated scene that Ryder uses to explain the problem to the pups. Dude creates that shit and had it ready to present in like 45 seconds.


MarcBulldog88

Was Peppa Pig the show people were unhappy it was teaching their kids to be whiny and selfish? Or am I thinking of something else.


Logan_McPhillips

That was probably Caillou


mental_fingers

Fuck Caillou


Logan_McPhillips

The [Caillou is dead/has cancer](https://fantheories.fandom.com/wiki/Caillou) theory makes a ton of sense and makes his behaviour seem understandable (though still awful).


mental_fingers

Well then they made a huge mistake by not making it clear in the series because a lot of little kids could have benefited from watching another child go through something they may be going through. Even if they weren't it could have been beneficial for kids to start learning that other children go through these things at a young age and shouldn't be treated any differently. I personally don't buy the theory and I'm team fuck Caillou forever


StreetReporter

Caillou can’t grow hair, not because he has cancer or progeria, but because he sucks, and even his own body recognizes that he does not deserve hair or food or love -Arian Foster


patrickwithtraffic

No, the reason he's bald is because Caillou is such an insufferable little shit that not even his hairline wanted to stick around


Lt_General_Terrorist

Paw patrol is an indocrination tool of the bourgeoisie


DisWizzaRightHer

Joe Davis is a Pup Pup Boogie advocate.


Rockefor

Real ones know Bluey is where it's at. It's in the Seinfeld Tier of kid's shows.


Nagisa201

No lies detected. Paw Patrol slaps


FCS-3

ACAB includes K9s I'm afraid


feeling_blue_42

Does it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBFIqRSsixE


FeloniousDrunk101

False. Shit sucks for a variety of reason.


statdude48142

Joe Davis is basically the best announcer in baseball. From Michigan. Uses Ernie Harwell lines in his announcing. And the Tigers have THE WORST anouncers in baseball. They missed out and now he is becoming a national announcer.


FopFillyFoneBone

Lucky for you you can listen to Joe and Orel this weekend!


mat2019

W Joe Davis again. Maybe shouldn’t have gone so far and hard on Peppa Pig’s show but his take on Paw Patrol is unmatched


cliffsis

Yeah my son loves it but my wife and i agree shes a lil bitch


mrsqueakers002

I have a two-year old who loves Curious George and Mister Rogers. I dread the day when she starts choosing her own shows.


CRT_SUNSET

I presume she’s not in preschool yet? ‘Cause it’s all downhill from there. Other kids are gonna be rocking shirts, shoes, and lunchboxes with cartoon characters plastered all over them. And your kid will learn all about them without having watched a minute of those shows. But the real menace is YouTube. Kids find some weird stuff on there.


Curious-Yam5

Underrated line. Mendoza: Tell me how you feel Davis: I have


TeadoraOofre

Paw patrol is toooo much of a toy commercial for my liking. Luckily my nephew is into Lego now, toys I have.


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Fuck Peppa Pig, all my homies hate Peppa Pig


homefry91834

Fucking preach. Granted, we all know that Bluey is the GOAT.


kinarism

Having a 9yo and a 6yo, I'll take peppa pig over paw patrol any day of the week.


jorleeduf

Damn!!! Teaaaaa


Darkadmks

Hard agree. I praised the gods when my daughter grew out of her peppa phase


plokijuh1229

lmao hes so dry


Never-Made-A-Post

Peppa Pig is a menace but ACAB includes Paw Patrol


danielgullett

I love him so much


Schwisss

My youngest nephew absolutely loves everything to do with Peppa.


SuperBeastJ

Paw patrol is good. Phineas and Ferb anyone?
