'I Hate That Bing Doesn’t Use Proper Words' — Fans Discuss Peppa Pig’s Main Competitor

For years, Peppa Pig has been the face of British preschool TV — confident, cheeky, and everywhere. But now, Bing, a gentle, emotional bunny, has emerged as a serious alternative, and parents aren’t shy about sharing how they feel.

The show Bing follows the everyday life of a toddler bunny learning about the world with his calm caregiver, Flop. Unlike Peppa’s bold and often bossy attitude, Bing stumbles through moments of frustration, fear, and joy — making some parents feel seen, and others... irritated.

On Reddit, reactions are mixed.

"I stopped my kids watching Bing because of Bing’s character. Well, I stopped my daughter and I never showed my son! Peppa Pig was on the verge for me, though I find Peppa much more annoying," Square-Dimension4782 writes.

Others push back. hafing_Chaffinches, for instance, said they’d gladly choose Bing over Peppa any day.

Some parents appreciate Bing’s emotional honesty. lookhereisay mentioned that the show feels realistic — the bunny’s behaviour mirrors that of an actual toddler, tantrums and all. They also praised how many episodes match real-life situations like doctor visits or birthdays.

"I hate that Bing doesn’t use proper words... Surely that’s not useful for language development?"

One parent, bunnyinabunnysuit7, didn’t mince words, writing:

"OMG I HATE BING. He’s the worst. As is Peppa. I’ve steered my kids away from these shows."

And even Peppa, despite her reputation, gets the occasional nod. One viewer remembered an episode where she coldly handled a “sorry” phone call — calling her a “bitch,” but also admitting, “mad respect.”

In the end, whether you’re team Peppa, team Bing, or team “no screen time today,” both characters clearly leave a mark.
