Peppa Pig Tales #18 Rant

Reviewed: 05/25/2024

Old School Peppa Pig Is Back! Sort of Part 18!

Well, since Peppa Pig the series has been slowing down and there's only four episodes left in the pot, I was going to resume TaleSpin work this year. An easy series that gives me great joy in terms of mockery and enjoyment. There is still lots let to do before I can finally wrap that show up. Sadly, TaleSpin has been delayed until at least 2025, because my second love and enjoyment decided to really run interference on me. How so you ask? Welcome to the Rant Shack: Peppa Pig Tales! And after the very first episode, I cannot resist and I'm going to rant on these "shorts" because Baby Alexander is back and creating a lot more questions than answers. (March 2023 Gregory Weagle Says: Hold it! I have just gotten word that there is no problems with Uncle and Auntie Pig and the family is getting along just fine. You'll see the evidence in Baby Bumps. Only one missing is Cousin Chole now.) Peppa Pig Tales is a series of short 3-3 1/2 minute episodes (Literally up to 75% of an average "Peppasode".) of Peppa Pig doing stuff without the original voices or creators with most of the "filler" cut out. That's basically it. It is awkward listening to this when you are so used to seeing the show, however; it is basically the same in term of premise. So, I'll be doing eight episodes per block like I always do until this series gets sick and tired of this and goes back to the actual Peppa Pig series which has reached eight series up to this point. How do these episodes fare? Let's rant on shall we..?!

Editor's Note: I will no longer be revealing which episodes were done by who, since my video source keeps cutting off the EDs and it's basically the same six to seven writers anyway.

Space Party: Short opens with Peppa dressed up like an astronaut and Daddy Pig looks like he's dressing up for a magic show. They are at the bus stop while the narrator confirms that Suzy Sheep is having another party, on the party bus. Of course! What a fool I am?! Miss Rabbit drives the bus in an astronaut costume of course, as the party bus has star balloons attached to it. Peppa and Daddy Pig head inside as Miss Rabbit calls it another safe landing. The kids today are Candy Cat wearing an astronaut suit with communcation antennas playing in the ball pool with Gerald Giraffe dressed up as a yellow star, Danny Dog is dressed up like a robot and Suzy Sheep is an alien. I'm not making that joke because Stickin' Around is old and overplayed even on these rants. Even though this is a space theme, it has to have a space disco ball. Peppa cannot tell that Suzy is the alien, and the other kids just troll her for that in a nice way. Candy is basically threatening in a nice way to turn everyone into something because she has the magic wand on retainer, just in case. Miss Rabbit comes in and it's space party time! Gerald brings out the star sandwiches on a plate. Or, they are this show version of Oero cookies. Who knows, doesn't matter. Suzy has some fruit kabobs and there is a lot of robot moves on the dance floor with space disco music. Tastes like space, not. Miss Rabbit comes back as it's time to pass the parcel. Oh, no! I remember the last time this happened and that episode set the record for the most instances of crying in a five minute episode. This is literally asking for trouble. Miss Rabbit explains the rules, I don't care. We pass the parcel for a long ass whomping time and Danny Dog actually gets the parcel! Of course, Danny's costume has spoons for hands and he cannot unwrap the parcel properly without destroying the entire parcel. Plus, there was no gift anywhere so this was a troll move on Miss Rabbit's part. Miss Rabbit brings out a cyan blue star balloon as it's bounce the shooting star game. Everyone is bouncing the star off their costume. Gerald is trying to bounce it off his costume, but his costume is a star with a point and the point pops the balloon as I get flashback seeing the pilot of Peppa kicking George's balloon so hard, George wishes crying ended his life. Next up is to stick the eye on the alien, because donkeys equal jackasses which there are none, and Pedro is clueless, not a jackass, you see. Candy Cat wants some action, so she is blindfolded and she almost gets it, but the eye slips out of her hand and lands right between Daddy Pig's eyes, without sticking to the glasses. HA! Somehow, Candy Cat's blindfold was written out by teleport when she apologizes. Peppa wants to do a team game and Miss Rabbit decides to have them do a game where everyone wins: Just drive the bus and cosplay a space rocket. Could be worse, I guess. Not much to see here as the party bus drives faster with the kids and Daddy Pig buckled up to be safe. Gigi Gazelle cameos as driving a car. We get an exchange with Mr. Bull and his garbage truck of doom and the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:04. Yeah, this was just your average episode. ** 1/2 (50%).

Sticky Notes: Short opens in Mummy Pig's office as Mummy Pig is on the laptop while George and Peppa are making noises using a green binder and an orange hole puncher. Mummy Pig tells them to go to the living room to make noise, and brings out hundreds of sticky notes to draw some picture. This is not going to end well for the living room. Apparently, Mummy Pig is searching for something because she is using a search engine on her laptop for some reason. Jump cut to Peppa and George sticking green and red sticky notes on the walls, for no reason. Peppa proclaims that she's done as Mummy and Daddy Pig enter the living room as Peppa and George basically made a sticky note pictures of their parents. Ummm, yeah. Good thing sticky notes leave very little damage, so it's not like drawing on the walls at least. George then makes a dine-e-saur, because of course! There are brown sticky notes written in by teleport on the floor because it's a muddy puddle. It's not as awesome as the real one, sadly. Mummy Pig giggles because the kids jump up and down in the sticky note muddy puddle, which is amusing. Daddy Pig points out that you can draw pictures on the sticky notes and Peppa is on awe. This sounds like a bad idea because Peppa cuts him off and decides to do a treasure hunt, while Daddy Pig says nothing of note. See what I did there? Jump cut to the parents cleaning up the sticky notes and recycling them, just like this show recycles their spots. Peppa calls for the parents and they enter the back hall as there are sticky notes on the walls and floor with arrows pointing towards upstairs. Mummy Pig seems to be fine with doing this stunt. Considering that there are arrows pointing down the stairs, this looks like the ultimate troll move. The two parents go upstair, and check Peppa's bedroom, nothing of note. Next up, the bathroom, nothing of note. Then they follow downstairs into the living room and then into the kitchen, I think they messed up the logic here, too. Anyhow, the end result is a prank dish of fried eggs, a prank dish of tomato soup and a prank dish of some pink paper on shoot bread. Which the narrator identifies as candy floss. What?! Daddy Pig decides to let the kids play something else, but blows his cover on cleaning up because he wants to fake eat the fest as he demonstrates with the prank fried egg. Peppa destroys the prank green dish and decides to clean up later as the kids bail from the kitchen. This kids will not do chores to save their lives anymore. Anyhow, the recycling is done through the magic of a whiplashing jump cut, and the parents return to Peppa's bedroom as Peppa and Georges are dressed in sticky notes. Come on, now; it is clear that this was the payoff to the whole thing. Mummy and Daddy Pig have totally given up as they throw sticky notes from the recycling bag onto themselves and they are sticky note monsters now. Always funny when the kids and parents try to be monsters and their selling is so hideously hilarious, it becomes comedy gold. They chase each other, they hug each other, the narrator says it all, that ends the episode at 3:06. Another average episode. ** 1/2 (50%).

Airport: Short opens outside the most poorly drawn airport in a long ass whomping time as there is storm cloud brewing. Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy Pig all run into the airport as apparently, it was raining during this sequence since Peppa and George look like they got sprayed with water, or it's so hot that they are sweating. It's hard to tell since the scene was staged so poorly I thought I was watching Chargeman Ken again. The narrator has to rhyme Spain with plane as we get a cameo of Mummy Polar Bear and Penny Polar Bear. Damn, we are so close to the two mummies and Penny Polar Bear together on this show. Mr Rabbit is bopping his head in the foreground along with Mr. Fox, Reggie Rabbit and Granddad Dog doing a frowny face. Mummy Pig wonders where to go and bumps into Daddy Pig as Teddy and Mr. Dine-e-saur fall off of the kart of luggage Daddy Pig was pushing. Miss Rabbit in usher gear is announcing the plane to Spain where there isn't any rain. I betcha she's lying about that last one, just to complete a pointless rhyme. Daddy Pig puts the two toys back onto the kart as we go through the lineup, which is literally just the family, indicating that no one wants to fly to Spain from a plane today. Miss Rabbit asks for passports and Daddy Pig is using Babel on his mobile phone to try out his Spanish to English. Did Daddy Pig not learn anything from Lottie Llama's mother when she spoke German so hard, Peppa Pig blushed so hard that I laughed so hard at it?! Oh, and the last time Daddy Pig tried French on the Donkey family?! As predicted Miss Rabbit speaks Spanish so hard that Daddy Pig is blushing so hard. HAHA! Peppa and George are giggling because they know Daddy Pig is dumb, since Miss Rabbit brings out two blue socks with purple H's on the top. Time to punt, Daddy Pig, you look like a loser. The passports of the adults are high comedy: Mummy Pig has a yellow shirt and a red doo rag on, while Daddy Pig has a candy cane shirt on and has red curly hair, that makes it look like red poop. It's like they never updated their passports at all as Mummy Pig has to concede that they were not updated at all. Peppa and George remembered to make passports for Teddy and Mr. Dine-e-saur to give to Miss Rabbit, while ironically there are no passports for Peppa and George Pig. George does his growl stance for fun. Miss Rabbit know wants to weigh the bags to make sure all of them don't kill the planes fuel consumpation.

Yes, I made the reason up, but you all know it's true. Daddy Pig's two suitcases are heavy, but they get green-lighted on the scale and approved. Mummy Pig is still doing this gimmick of overfilling her suitcase with stuff she doesn't need, although it's a lot less obvious this time. Ironically, she has ONE suitcase, but the scale rejects it anyway. Mummy Pig is blushing as the suitcase is filled with giant hats. WHAT?! What a sexist scale they are using at this airport?! Did Mr. Labo create this scale?! So, everyone wears the hats, mostly at least two of them as they go through the security metal detector with Officer "Why Does This Show Hate My Kids?!" Panda standing guard to make sure no BS occurs here. Daddy Pig explains this where doing more Spanish words without proper context, like the dumb pig that he is. Officer Grey Squirrel is here as Mr. Fox goes through the metal detector and it goes off. Mr. Fox shows off 28 pocket watches in different colors underneath his coat and both Mr. Fox and Officer Grey Squirrel laugh out loud. I don't get the joke here. George is frightened; but Officer Panda walks the kids through the metal detector and Peppa and George are fine. Mummy Pig walks through and that sets off the alarm, because her purple rimmed star shaped glasses trip the security. Wait, so her shade tripped the thing, but now Daddy Pig's doesn't since in the episode of this very show, Daddy Pig's rims are made of metal and should have tripped up the detector. No, this is BS, this metal detector is...Oh wait, I cannot claim sexism on this one due to Mr. Fox and the pocket watches spot. Next up, Granddad Dog gets on the travellator and Mummy Pig underestimates the speed of it and whizzes by. The rest of the family follows as Reggie Rabbit is literally playing the role of Osamu's father from Chargeman Ken, only much nicer and waving. Also, this airport does it as an option rather than mandatory in Chargeman Ken. So, they finally make it to the airport rest area as Mummy Pig finds two message chairs and sits down as Peppa stares in awe over the shops. One of them is an optical shop. Literally five seconds later, Miss Rabbit announces over the PA system that the plane to Spain is boarding and departing right now. Everyone panics and runs like the wind...an easterly wind towards the entrance to the airplanes as Miss Rabbit waves and the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:06. A fine episode with Daddy Pig still looking like a chump. ** 3/4 (55%).

Delivered: Short opens with Peppa and George dressed up as postal officers running up the hill to fetch a pail of Miss Rabbit being the postal officer at the post office container. Huh. So, Daddy Zebra has officially retired from the post office job, I see. I wonder what the story is because Miss Rabbit doesn't need anymore jobs. Have Mummy Llama do this role, or even Mummy Polar Bear. Give them those jobs instead! This gag is sad! Granny Pig and Grandpa Pig are in hot pursuit of the kids. As expected, George's letter has a stamp of a dinosaur and Peppa has one of herself. You all know why: She's the star and everyone else is a geek. Also, the stamps are made up. Is that legal?! Never mind, in this world, it is. In the real world, probably not. Peppa and George put the letters in the post box, they are for Mummy and Daddy Pig. Miss Rabbit opens up the post box and there are a lot of letters in it as she offers Peppa and George to help her. The grand parents are perfectly fine with this, even though I am certain that this is not legal in the real world. Suzy Sheep was right, this world is magic. Somehow, the post box is like a TARDIS holding a lot more letters than expected and the two kids get entombed in letters. The kids giggle as we jump cut to the kids and Miss Rabbit inside the post office truck that has been magically written in by teleport. Betcha that's why Miss Rabbit has the job! Cheeky Miss Rabbit. We head to the sorting station for the "How It's Made" demonstration as guess who is sorting the mail on the convyer belt. Take a guess, it's too shocking! SURPRISE~! It's Okay Boomer! POW! OUCH! Ummmm...It's Mr. Zebra, the postmaster general himself. WHAT?! Peppa Pig the show has always done mind screws on me, but this one is just cheeky. I guess it's because he was caught giving packages of tiny items in big wasteful packages. Peppa and George wear yellow/white uniforms as we do the process of sorting the mail. So, the mail is dumped and sorted as Mr. Zebra is confused over the homemade stamps. George does his usual "dine-e-saur" promo as Miss Rabbit points out that since the stamps are homemade, they are not only legal, they get the perk of being delivered the fastest. WHAT?!

Mr. Zebra pushes a red button on the wall, and that causes sirens and flashing pink lights, along with Daddy Cat and Mummy Mole carrying letters and stuff. Yes, now we know that Candy Cat's dad and Molly Mole's mother all work at the post office. That in itself is fine, but what?! Miss Rabbit thinks she's Jimmy Hart on the megaphone. A for effort, C for quality sadly. A code pink in a post office sorting area. Also working at the post office: Mr. Wolf; so his wolf scouting is just a part time thingie. More sorting makes Gregory Weagle something something as it's all done and in the bag. Miss Rabbit has to drag the sack of letters out of the post office sorting area and we jump cut to Miss Rabbit and the kids in the mail truck driving through town. We see the kids delivering letters, one requires the letter turned into a tube to fit through the mail slot. We discover that one of the houses belongs to Mr. Bull. They tease getting the address wrong, then recoil and Mr. Bull accepts the letter. Sadly, he was the only one who was shown actually getting a letter in that entire montage. Miss Rabbit's bag is down to the final two letters, which is the ones for the little house on the hill as Peppa Pig rings the door bell and makes sounds because of course! Mummy and Daddy Pig hear the doorbell and go outside as they expect to see Miss Rabbit, but then look down and realize that it's Peppa and George. Miss Rabbit explains it all as the two kids give the parents their letters. The letters are opened to contain pictures of a dinosaur from George and Peppa basically doing the family portait from the mainline series, only Daddy Pig is sporting a right eye like he's a stereotypical pirate somehow. Yup, she's still trolling. The kids hug the parents, Miss Rabbit leaves in her mail truck and the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:05. Okay episode, however; despite the stupidity of logic in this episode, at least they developed Daddy Cat, Mummy Mole and Daddy Wolf's characters a little tiny bit. *** (60%).

The Calm Room: Short opens with Peppa Pig, Danny Dog and Suzy Sheep playing in the soft play funhouse and giggling. George slides down a slide and doesn't look thrilled at all of being there. The noise causes George to hold his hands on his ears and he bawls his eyes out. The kids legit come in to ask if he's okay and George just bawls his eyes out again. Daddy Pig runs in and hugs George as the noise is getting to him. Suzy Sheep suggests the calm room as we all head to the calm room which is a dark room with cozy colored chairs and blankets. Danny Dog jumps backwards into one of the chairs for fun as Suzy and Peppa inspect the blankets and being chatterboxes. I have a suggestion to calm George down to these kids: SHUT THE HELL UP~! Suzy and Peppa becomes warlocks from Final Fantasy VI, only more colorful. Danny Dog turns ornage taking deep breaths before flopping back onto the chair, as Daddy Pig was suggesting some deep breathing. George looks confused and not relaxed as the snoring of Daddy Pig is a problem to George. Danny Dog decides to go into the next room which is a calm room with toys and brighter colors. Neon colored spinners, squishy balls and puzzle cubes are in a conveniently placed net baskets in the background. Suzy steals Daddy Pig's blanket on the rebound, Daddy Pig is confused. George is not liking this at all, saying no over and over again, and might bawl again. Peppa realizes this and they go through a green pipe, ala Super Mario to the next room, which is a large nature room with a legit tree and a painted background containing nests with eggs, leafs, flowers in pots and a tent. The big kids flop onto the ground as Danny Dog crushes leaves for fun. Daddy Pig struggles through the pipe and wants to do some deep breathing again, no one cares about it except Daddy Pig. Danny Dog has some plastic gold coin with him as everyone decides to do deep breathing now. Peppa asks if George is all right, George is finally all right as he decides to sit down in the tent and enjoy himself. Everyone decides to stay in the nature room as George sniffs flowers while the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:06. Not much to see here. ** (40%).

Lost In The Movie Theatre: Short opens with Peppa, George, Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig watching a racing movie featuring the green troll of doom at the cinema. Peppa is drinking soda and she gets the feeling of needing the toilet right now, so she whisper yells at Daddy Pig. Daddy Pig and Peppa Pig leave the cinema area as we see Mummy Elephant and Emily Elephant eating popcorn. Jump cut to Daddy Pig on his mobile phone near the washroom door as Peppa flushes the toilet off-screen and comes out cheering. Okay, they go through the hallway and suddenly, Daddy Pig has no idea where the door is to go back into the cinema where they are watching the movie. To be fair, neither does Peppa Pig, so both of them are dumb. So, the story is they try to find the right door to the movie and fail badly. Blue door leads to a mermaid movie, the same one from the four part cruise vacation arc, the last four episodes I reviewed from the mainline Peppa series. Cameos: Gigi Gazelle, Mummy Sheep, Suzy Sheep in mermaid gear, Mr. Zebra, Zoe Zebra, Mummy "I can be scary, honest!" Mouse and Mandy "No you can't Mummy!" Mouse. Suzy and Peppa greet each other, whatever. Peppa loves mermaids, but that movie will have to be seen another time. Purple door leads to a romance film and I know this because they don't show the screen because SEX~! Cameos: Daddy and Mummy Giraffe (whom I don't think I have ever seen until now), Mummy and Daddy Wolf, and Mrs. Cow and Mr. Bull because they are lovers soon to be married in the main series. Also, Mummy and Daddy Mole and Mummy and Captain Dog. The couple is blowing their noses with cloths because it's so emotional and sad. Oh, I stand corrected; they do show the screen on a street with Mummy and Daddy Rhino in rich clothes having a gay old time, much to the pleasure of Mr. Bull.

The Rhinos tease the kiss, Daddy Pig covers Peppa's eyes and bails with her. I can see why Daddy Pig did that, considering Peppa and the kids' reaction to the actual wedding with Mr. Bull and Mrs. Cow. Small yellow door leads to the projection room with Miss Rabbit tending to the projector, and judging by her computer is doing security detail as well. So, they exchange notes for a while and Miss Rabbit decides to help them out. We go through the green door which is a dinosaur movie, even through it's really a dragon/castle movie. Cameos: Mummy Zebra, Zulu Zebra, Zaza Zebra, Granny Pig and Grandpa Pig. Also, the stylized crossed in black and white are still shown. Peppa proclaims George would love this movie as we next head to the orange door which is a comedy movie, because it's silly of course. They show an adult clown who might be Daddy Pony for all I know. Cameos: Mummy Pony, Daddy Pony, Pedro F'N Pony, Mummy Fox, Daddy Fox and Freddy Fox. All of them are giggling. Peppa laughs as that isn't it either. Peppa then sees a red door and tries to open it. Miss Rabbit protests this as it opens and everyone is buried in a popcorn tomb. HAHA! Wow, I'm actually enjoying this episode! Peppa apologizes and Miss Rabbit claims that it happens all the time. I shouldn't be surprised after the balloon debacle. Daddy Pig scoops up popcorn in the container that came out of nowhere. They find the grey door and that's the movie they are suppose to watch and Peppa thanks Miss Rabbit. Daddy Pig and Peppa Pig head inside and sit down with Mummy and George as Mummy asks what took them so long, as Daddy Pig claims that it was to refill the popcorn. Sort of true as we watch the movie with a cameo of Super Potato as the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:00. This was the best episode of this block so far, in the most convoluted way to refill popcorn after going to the toilet. *** 3/4 (75%).

Prehistoric George: Short opens inside the most outdoor dinosaur museum ever with the Pig family. It just looks weirds with the amount of spotlights on. George has Mr. Dine-e-saur around just because. One of them is inspired by Paper Mario and that one growls. The family has a shock and out comes Miss Rabbit with a whistle. Miss Rabbit apologizes and I don't know why...Oh wait, Peppa looks scared. Miss Rabbit claims that this is how dinosaurs say hello. Complete with swimming goggles. Yeah, sure Miss Rabbit. Miss Rabbit offers the kids a chance to see a real dinosaur in the special "Time Traveling Room", and George is so giddy that he runs around yelling "dine-e-saur", over and over again. Mummy Pig takes it as a yes. When everyone enters the room, it's obvious that this is a Virtual Reality machine, so it might as well be magic. Everyone is in the glass box as Miss Rabbit explains DA RULES (FAIRY GODPARENTS~!), so keep body parts inside at all times and use the binoculars conveniently placed to see the VR images. Miss Rabbit also says to not step on a butterfly and Peppa asks "Why would you do that?!" and Miss Rabbit basically says "You would be surprised." I died. Miss Rabbit pushes the lever (CLEVER CLOGS~!) and we do a pointless sequence just to push the lever (CLEVER CLOGS~!) and we are in the era of dinosaurs. A purple butterfly also flies around as Miss Rabbit is trying to hide the face that her "time machine" control panel is busted. The teeth smile gives that away. So, we see a volcano and various beasts from the dinosaur era, causing the adults to be in awe. George don't care and wants to see the giant dine-e-saur, like the one he's holding. Miss Rabbit assures him that he'll see it, and it's much bigger than the model! Huge, if true. By the way, here comes the giant dine-e-saur, sadly, it's looks like a dinosaur version of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh. George turns around, and then bawls his eyes out! Miss Rabbit pushes pause on the thing, basically exposing the business before apologizing. Peppa gives confront to George as Miss Rabbit rewinds the "time machine" so we can do a do over. Peppa and George roar at the dinosaur, George wants to do it again. Miss Rabbit rewinds, we do it again, the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:09. Decent enough episode, but the butterfly never factored into the finish. *** (60%).

Toothpaste: Short opens inside the rainbow toothpaste factory with conveyer belts and tubes of rainbow colored toothpast moving about. Toothpast is depensed into said tubes as Gigi Gazelle arrives with Peppa Pig, George Pig, Edmond Elephant, Richard Rabbit, Emily Elephant, Mandy Mouse, Danny Dog, Suzy Sheep and Pedro F'N Pony all running in and giggling. All of them are wearing this silly hats with a tooth image as Miss Rabbit completes the tour and everyone is frowning, because they care about the audience, who hasn't had the tour! That was funny. Miss Rabbit don't care about that because brushing teeth is more important anyway and we have done this factory stuff dozens of times before, so why not?! We head into the area where it's basically a game where you have to position the depenser directly onto the giant brush area of the giant toothbrush. Miss Rabbit explains the rules and no I'm not doing that joke a second time. So, there is a four way control panel with a red button in the middle and most of the kids are doing a good job with coordinating the depenser. Peppa cannot do this to save her life, and then she gets it right literally seconds later as there is a monitor of an image of an anthro tooth praising Peppa for getting it right. George is far worse at this than Peppa, so Peppa has to assist him in getting it right. By assist, I mean literally replace George in doing it. That bothered me, if you want to assist, just be a spotter to allow George to improve his hand-eye coordination. Even more so when Peppa seems to taunt George and George sulks. Next game, use giant toothbrushes to clean giant chompers of teeth. Okay. Miss Rabbit has to open the jaws of the teeth since they have to show food in the back of the teeth. Miss Rabbit's cleaning sucks as only one food particle dropped from the chompers, although she was probably demonstrating what to do without touching anything. Everyone runs in with giant toothbrushes and George is confused even more so. Remember, we have seen George brush his teeth before. I guess micro doesn't translate to marco at all, at least with George at the helm. Worse, George actually brushes his teeth with said brush and Peppa Pig nicely blows him off. The anthro tooth on the monitor praises them for cleaning those pearly whites and now we come to the final step: cleaning the giant toothbrushes in a shooting gallery with water guns. Oooookkkkkaaaayyyy.

Miss Rabbit demonstrates her shooting water gun skills and they are good as the kids are in awe. The kids then all run in, arm themselves with water guns, except for Richard Rabbit who just dances and cheers, even though George cannot do this to save his life. Just making both Richard and George look like complete tools. George literally points the gun up and sprays it right in his kisser. Peppa comes in to assist on George's aim and George bawls his eyes out for the second time in as many episodes! Didn't see that one coming! Peppa wonders what's up and it turns out George is not confused, he wanted to brush his own teeth. That's an awfully weird excuse since George already did sort of earlier. Peppa proclaims that they will be getting goodie bags with toothbrush and toothpaste as Miss Rabbit looks like she just got screwed. As it turns out, Miss Rabbit goes to a conveniently placed cabinet on the wall and opens it to reveal goodie bags with dental productions, but none of the dental products were in the bags. Ooops! Basically, we have to see Miss Rabbit look embarrassed because she forgot to fill the goodie bags earlier. I laughed and laughed and laughed some more. Just made Miss Rabbit look like a geek. George gets the yellow bag and he's giddy and does the brushing of the teeth much better than anything Vince Russo could ever book. He also rinses his brush at the conveniently placed sink for fun as the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:09. Good episode with George confusing everyone and I do mean everyone, along with Miss Rabbit being a geek. *** 3/4 (75%).

THE REVIEW LINE

Well, here is a rarity as we had no thumbs up episodes this time around. The Calm Room was merely there and it bored me so much that it might be the shortest review I have ever written for an episode. The the rest were decent to good, although Daddy Pig covering Peppa Pig during a kissing scene was hilarious given what happened at Mr. Bull's wedding with Mrs. Cow. I did love the family's passports in Airport and it was nice to see some of the almost forgotten characters (Daddy Cat, Daddy Wolf, Mummy Mole) get roles and even get a small amount of character development in this show in general. Overall, a really mixed bag of shorts. So...

Thumbs down for Calm Room, thumbs in the middle for everything else and I'll see you all next time.
