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.

    Animals is Peppa Pig get dumber as they age, and some become so dumb that the rest cage them or eat then. Peppa’s father is about 70% of his way there, already.

    I joke. But on a serious note, there’s so many better children’s shows out there. I hope you manage to switch it up, before it becomes the favorite of any young people in your inner circle.

    Exactly. They don’t seem to know who the intended audience is.
