I think this affects parents more than kids. Fer real life mate. Wackadoo.

For a bit, this was true for my daughter. She started to call me “dahddy” when she was into Peppa Pig. It didn’t last long, though.

My kid is there. When something goes wrong he'll say "oh NO!" Which can't be typed in an Oxford accent but trust me you can hear it.

Other Peppa-isms include the use of the words "silly" and "naughty".

This manifests in phases like, *"Oh NO, silly Andy!"

Stop letting the tv teach your kids then, shitty parents...or don't complain when they get taught things

Apparently I was like this, due to Ringo Starr playing Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station.

First this, then the British Empire will reassert dominance over the colonies.

They've got as much chance of wanting that back as France does for Quebec. (spoiler: they rejected the idea and our most recent separatist vote turned emo in a heartbeat)

Wait, I thought the kids were speaking in an Australian accent because of Bluey?

[–] atocci@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Relatable, except it was the Yogscast for me

Lol this is funny. My son does a good British accent because we have British family members and he thinks it's funny.

What counts as a British accent? Not being awkward just curious as I see it mentioned usually by American folks a lot. Does it mean any accent from the UK?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Basically anything Europe

The honest answer is that most of us can't differentiate between all the UK accents. They're all just levels of "British", with the most exaggerated being the one with all the "innit"s.

Yup, my 6 year old daughter now speaks Brit English perfectly and it’s hilarious and I can’t get over it.

There was this kids show called babar which was basically monarchist propaganda. I wonder what happened to them? Hopefully cancelled.

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They told the whole story, then got revived 10 years later for a revival season, then got revived again 10 years after that for another 3 seasons on Disney Junior.

Disappointing, but thanks for telling the truth.
