Peppa Pig Tales #37 Rant

Reviewed: 11/14/2025

Old School Peppa Pig Is Back! Sort of Part 37!

Well, since Peppa Pig the series has been slowing down and there's only eleven 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.) 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 #1: I will no longer be revealing which episodes were done by whomever, since my video source keeps cutting off the endings and it's basically the same six to seven writers anyway.

Editor's Note #2: The new opening now applies to all episodes of Peppa Pig Tales as we are in the Evie era of Peppa Pig both in the mainline series and this show in general.

Family Costume: Short opens at Suzy Sheep's house BEFORE HAPPY HOUR (Sunset) as the house is decorated with Halloween motifs and a black curtain behind the swings. The Pig family marches up the steep hill as the narrator calls the Pig family, the Duck family because Peppa, Evie (in the stroller) and George are dressed up like yellow ducks, Mummy Pig is dressed up like Mrs. Ducks post-Golden Boots era, and Daddy Pig is dressed up a loon. That's kind of disrespectful as the narrator corrects himself just to say the title card. No surprise, it's the pink gaslighting troll's idea to dress up like ducks as the family is trick-or-treating tonight. They knock on the door as there is also a parade coming next according to the narrator and out comes Granny Sheep dressed up like someone died in her family. She has a bundle of suckers in the pumpkin bucket as the family does the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM, which sounds like a duck call gone wrong. Granny Sheep gives them treats and informs them that Suzy Sheep and Mummy Sheep left to go to the parade. Mummy Pig decides to go there and the family walks stage right waving goodbye to Granny Sheep. Granny Sheep's voice in this one sounds the same as the one in the mainline series, I should note. Anyhow, we are one minute in and finally Evie just soils herself. Uh-oh! Trouble. Daddy Pig sniffs the air and it's foul, very foul. So foul that Daddy Pig asks Granny Sheep to use the bathroon. Granny Sheep allows that, and they do a clothes change, but now Evie is wearing all black and the duck costume is beyond saving. Geez, these costumes are so fragile nowadays. Granny Sheep has a plan: Take all the stuff from the front of the house and everyone in the Pig family gets a costume change as they are all witches now. That explains the black curtain being on the swing as well. The family cheers, thanks Granny Sheep and bails stage right. Zoom into Gigi Gazelle vandalizing her house with written stuff and here comes the Pig family as Gigi Gazelle is dressed like a vampire. Oh wait...There are tombstones barely visable in the foreground as they exchanges treats and farewells. Evie wants to give a trick because she soils herself...AGAIN! They need to change Evie in a bathroom...AGAIN! The costume is beyond saving...AGAIN! I know it was Mummy Pig doing the change, but it's the exact same spot. Betcha they become vampires now...I check the video...Actually, nope. Gigi uses the chalk to vandalize the costumes, turning them into skeletons. I betcha Granny Sheep don't care about this since she is an artist after all. The Pig Family walks into town in a funny manner as in comes Gigi Gazelle, Reggie Rabbit, Mummy Sheep, Suzy Sheep (dressed up like vampires), Gerald Giraffe (dressed as a mummy) and Pedro F'N Pony (dressed as a cowboy of course). Miss Rabbit (dressed like a wizard) and Granny Sheep join in as the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:04. Fine little episode, but not much to see here. ** 3/4 (55%).

Baby Food: Short opens inside Mummy Rabbit's dining room with Peppa giggling as it's 3 PM on the clock in the background. Evie is in her baby chair along with Rosie and Robbie Rabbit making yet another appearance on this show. There are secret platters of food covers in bright color domes along with small bowls, spoons, a bowl of fruit and a blender containing smoothie drinks. At least in theory. Mummy Pig enter with a green plater under a green striped dome as Mummy Rabbit enters with a vegetable salad with Rebecca Rabbit following in. Mummy Pig thanks Mummy Pig because it's a "Baby Food" taste test. This is going to be a trainwreck, I just know it. Apparently, Evie is a fussy eater as Mummy Rabbit is offering to help introduce new foods such as yogurt as Rosie and Robbie are wearing opposite color gloves and socks to their colored gear. It's look they are wearing footy pj in the opposite color and then a shirt that matches their proper color outfit. That was the most interesting thing about this segment so far. Mummy Rabbit as a tomato/apple and a banana as Peppa pops up wearing a chef's hat and safety goggles. People complain about Peppa giving kids British accents, apparently we can blame Reggie Rabbit for having Peppa Pig wearing safet goggles during cooking sessions. I get that it's for safety, but go all the way with it and have her wear oven mitts while you are at it. Rebecca's wearing the same outfit as Peppa is on the case to discover the mystery of countering Evie's fussy eating. First up is the orange domed plate containing yellow pudding. Rosie and Robbie seems to like this, but Evie is having NONE of it, like George not liking salads. Apparently, banana pudding is now banana-nana. Okay, good to know. Peppa and Rebecca comment on the flavor and texture as Evie don't care because it hurts her tastebuds. Or something.

Evie splashes banana-nana on everyone in protest to all this giggling. So, she's a pudding banana-nana bigot. Next up is green, but the bowl is orange colored. SUZY SHEEP~?! I realize this is not a logic break at all, but it still works better this way. I'm guessing it's chewed up spinach and Peppa's taste buds say I'm close to the nose. I was wrong, it was broccoli. Rosie and Robbie like it, Evie hates that even more and Sora cries in her drink after that one. Evie hates greens, so green pepper is out too. What a baby?! Oh wait...Apparently, this is mixed with yogurt and Peppa calls it silly. Evie agrees and splatters it all on Peppa Pig. HAHA! I betcha she'll be one of those kids who believe pineapple on pizza is a crime on par with murder when she grows older. Good thing Peppa was wearing safety goggles because that mixture almost put her eyes out. Mummy Pig says it all as Mummy Rabbit does the baby edition of "one man's trash is another man's treasure". She's an Oscar The Grouch fan methinks. The last one is the blue dome and it is red as I discover that all three bowls are basically yoghurt flavored with secret fruit. Was smoothie trademarked when I was away?! Rosie and Robbie are literally eating handfuls of this while Evie is having none of this choo-choo train crap. Peppa confirms that it's a mixture of berries this time, Evie don't care. Mummy Rabbit calls it a mix of strawberry and raspberry. Evie don't care, she's made it on my shit list now. Evie splatters the mix right on herself as Mummy Pig states the obvious to us. Evie then looks curious and now Rosie and Robbie mime her and the mix is spraying around the area like juice would. The pink bowl gets a lot of mixing during this and the bowl contents turn brown as Mummy Rabbit cuts a promo while cleaning up. Peppa puts a pink bowl of the brown mix in front of Evie and Evie plays with it and then puts it in her mouth. She loves this mix just after everyone has given up. The narrator says it all literally as the parents try it and they do not like it to end the episode at 3:06. HAHA! Another really good episode from Alison Ray. *** 3/4 (75%).

Witches And Fairies: Short opens inside Peppa's new playroom with Suzy Sheep dressed up like a fairy princess and Peppa has the green makeup and is dressed like a witch without the hat. There is a calduron of candy and a wand in the middle of the room along with a toy frog on the floor. Huh, I wonder when that prop will be used in this episode?! In comes Daddy Pig with Evie in tow noticing the cackling and giggling. Peppa asks Daddy Pig to guess who they are and Daddy Pig decides to troll on them by claiming that Suzy is a robot and Peppa is an alien. HAHA! Well, Peppa looks closer to an alien than a witch, so Peppa that's your fault. Daddy Pig is not being a geek here, nor being dumb. He's saying this as a gag to set up Peppa and Suzy putting on their hats to say the title card. I also don't buy Daddy Pig's attempt to act surprised that he's wrong, it's so low rent. Daddy Pig leaves in awkward giggling as he closes the door. Suzy wants them to be more like witches and fairies. The solution: they need a purple yellow star wand, which there is only one of them. Uh-oh! Let the most wicked quarrel begin! Oh wait, quarrels suck in this show. Let the pain begin! Peppa decides to let Suzy have first dibs on the wand, but as soon as she's done, Peppa has the want on the second time. Suzy is happy that Peppa has forfeited her career as a selfish pink gaslighting troll. (BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sure she did Mr Weagle.) This is all so Peppa can go to the cauldron of fake items in order to make a fake brew as her pronouncation "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble." had to be changed and made more hilarious since it's too scary for small children. Mostly the "fire burn" part. Toil means "work extremely hard". Suzy is "granting" wishes to Teddy and asks what Teddy wishes for. (Teddy: Get me away from Peppa!) Peppa then realizes that she needs the wand for the fake brew to be done and goes for to Suzy who is casting Dragon Quest spells and they aren't happening because Dragon Quest spells are not real even in Peppa Pig's world. This is a tell tale sign that Suzy needs to be corrected soon. Peppa asks for the wand and Suzy refuses to give her the wand because she's not done wooshing wishes, or something. Peppa offers her the bag that she calls fairy dust and Suzy accepts. Suzy gives Peppa the wand in response as we get the Woosh spells and the Zing spell making an appearance. Suzy is now pissed because all of the fairy dust is gone now. Peppa does the most gleeful not-polgy of all time as we get our third Dragon Quest spell of the episode. Zap, everyone.

Suzy and Peppa pout about a wand as the narrator calls this a falling out. This one is somewhat more amusing than the SNAP incident in The Quarrel, I'll give the show that much. Goldie is smiling in the background, that fish is loving life. Peppa is now casting a spell on the toy frog as Suzy is demanding the wand again and just takes it as she is putting the finishing touches on her fairy palace. It's a cushion den with a puppet theatre containing Owlie, Teddy, Teddy Playgroup and other animals. Hey, you called Pedro Fucking Pony's cowboy camp a tent in Pedro The Cowboy. Fair is fair! Suzy hides in the puppet theatre, so it must have TARDIS powers. Suzy bails out and threatens to put a spell on her. What, you are going to turn her into a frog?! That trick never works, even in Peppa's world! Peppa runs in and grabs the wand, threatening to put a spell on you. It's lacking the charm of them threatening to turn each other into frogs like in the mainline series. Now Teddy has somehow teleported to a blue loveseat. SUZY SHEEP~?! Then they mindfuck me with Peppa finally wanting to turn Suzy into a frog during the wand tug of war. Suzy wants to turn Peppa into a bug, so you know this falling out has gone off the rails. In comes Daddy Pig with Evie in tow carrying a tray of carrots and one tomato as he's cut off. Suzy and Peppa tug some more while being in circles and then the wand snaps and they land on their asses. Daddy Pig wants to leave, but Peppa cuts him off and wants Daddy to tell Suzy to give her the wand. Even though Peppa has the important part of it. Suzy then proclaims that she loves doing magic. We know Suzy, you keep saying it's magic in the mainline series. Peppa loves doing magic as well and there is eye contact violence abound. Daddy Pig's logical comment is: If you love magic, you should be very good friends. Daddy Pig leaves the tray of snacks and then leaves. Peppa and Suzy apologize for being such jerkheads and they hug. Awww, my heart melted. Suzy realizes that the wand is broken, but Peppa notices that there are really two wands. Why not?! Even if the logic states that magic doesn't work with a broken wand, it's a plastic wand that doesn't work in Peppa's world anyway. So, there are two wands and it makes sense. Then they add green and purple sticks tied with ribbons to both wands, sprinkle salt on them to make them shiny. I did not know salt could be used to make stuff shiny. Peppa and Suzy run around gleefully in the playroom as Daddy Pig looks on from the door. The narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:07. This was far better than The Quarrel because they tried hard to not fall out and it made the fall out look a lot funnier. Plus, the ending was great, although they really didn't have to overdo the wand repairs. **** (80%).

Fireworks Night: Short opens outside the big house on the hill AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as Mummy Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, Doctor Pony and Granddad Dog are using sparklers. Peppa Pig, George Pig, Rebecca Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog and Pedro F'N Pony are present and in awe as Mummy Pig is literally setting up fireworks on the bottom of the hill, the most dangerous explosives sold to the public besides firearms. Also, the most dangerous to set up. The narrator says the title card as the kids all cheer. Daddy Pig is teleported in with Evie as Evie has yellow earmuffs on, I wonder why. Evie is also wearing SWANK heart glasses as Daddy Pig gives Mummy Pig the thumbs up. Mummy Sheep calls Evie cool as Peppa actually remembers that in a earlier Series episode of Peppa Pig Tales, she was totally frightened of fireworks and now she's not afraid anymore. I am sad to learn that Pedro Pony still fears washing machines. That's no big deal since I'm still scared of dogs, although not nearly as much as I am used it. Keep in mind, I work near a puppy spa and I'm not kidding when I say that the dog spa is called Woofingtons. Everyone is in position as Peppa helps Evie with her glasses. Mummy Pig fires off colored rockets into the air and if they explode, do we care?! Answer: Yes, because Evie does since she's frowning and I suspect she will bawl her eyes out anytime now. Yup, five seconds in and Evie has checked out. Everyone frowns, why? This is Evie's first time seeing a fireworks display. What did you expect?! Just a note: They are all wearing winter clothes and boots, except for Evie of course. Those glasses only make Evie look cooler when she bawls, so it's difficult to take her seriously. Daddy Pig wants to take Evie to bed, but Peppa protests this claiming that Evie will miss the fireworks.

The fireworks then stop, and Evie giggles and smiles. Yup, she hates this and doesn't mind bed anymore, so sod off you pink gaslighting troll! Peppa suggests that Mummy Pig use smaller fireworks. No, Evie hates fireworks and wants to sleep, deal with it. Wait a year before introducing Evie to them, you are only being cruel to her. Mummy Pig lights the smaller fireworks on the steel poles and Evie seems to like these at first. I betcha they explode and Evie frowns and bawls her eyes out again. I check the video. Damn, I'm so good. Time to put Evie to bed now! Also, I don't buy Mummy Pig not knowing about the double flame last bit either as Peppa continues to insist finding Evie a firework for her to like. This is on track to being the worst episode of Peppa Pig Tales, I swear on a stack of firework magazines. Then it gets worse, now Suzy Sheep wants the spinny one and that causes Pedro to become paranoid. Suzy Sheep wants the dreaded Catherine Wheel firework, also known as a pinwheel. Betcha this makes Evie cry, too. Yup, Mummy Pig lights the pinwheel and Evie bawls her eyes out for the third time in this episode. I am so fed up with this episode. For goodness sakes, take Evie into the house and put her in bed. Enough! Evie is not interested in fireworks and all of you are abusing her! Stop it, now! Even Daddy Pig is realizing that maybe he should have disobeyed Peppa for once, but Peppa has a plan: Watch the fireworks from inside the house from Evie's room. Why didn't you do that from the start, you cruel troll?! Yup, Peppa creates a cushion den with Evie in her arms as Daddy and George enter and watch with mood lighting and Evie is happy for real. Peppa and Evie are happy together with the narrator saying it all to end the episode at 3:13. This is the worst Peppa Pig Tales episode ever at * (20%). This is the one time Daddy Pig wanted to do the sensible thing and being overruled due to Peppa's star status only caused truama onto Evie that was not only pointless, but made everyone look cruel.

Lil Town: Short opens at a park (at least in theory) with Pedro F'N Pony in race gear driving a red kart. I discover that this is a fake park developed inside as all the background is mostly images of what a city would look like. Rebecca Rabbit cosplays a doctor, Mandy Mouse cosplays a fire fighter and Peppa Pig is a police officer blowing the whistle on Pedro for speeding. HA! Peppa does the police greeting of British doom and demands answers to this outrage. Pedro does not know what to say as we zoom out to show Emily Elephant dressed up as a farmer, Freddy Fox dressed up as a chef, Zoe Zebra dressed up as a business representive and Gerald Giraffe is either a bus driver or a member of ICE. The narrator says the title card and we are off. Peppa accuses Pedro of speeding and Pedro claims that he's a race car driver, somehow that's enough to Peppa to say that it's okay then. Pedro is going to be awfully surprised and angry when he finds out how this conversation would work in real life. It's not going to end well for Mr. Pony. Pedro drives off as Suzy Sheep is of course a news reporter, reporting all of this fake news, sort of. Peppa goes over to Suzy and they exchange notes for a while. All the whistles are shaped like the number nine. Danny Dog is a construction worker who yells that there is a paper fire in the hole. HAHA! And one outside the shed. Wow, Suzy not once pointed out that the fire was an image on paper, she has finally suspended her disbelief. Peppa changes clothes because she doubles as a firefighter as she has a kart fire engine and yes, Peppa makes the siren sounds. They are not as cool as Freddy Fox. Peppa uses a legit fire extiguisher which does nothing, so Peppa kicks the paper image of a fire. Don't do that in real life, kids! Fire burns to consume like blood sucking parasites and the Republican Party. Same thing happens to the paper fire in the hole and the kids all cheer. Apparently, Danny Dog was digging up the road and there is a barrier with a traffic light as we see Freddy Fox, Rebecca Rabbit and Penny Polar Bear playing the role of a pilot in their cars waiting for the road to be repaired. HAHA! Miss Rabbit has a speaker in the background telling Danny Dog not to dig up legit as Danny Dog apologizes and removes the light stand to allow the kids in cars to race by.

In comes Candy Cat dressed up as an astronaut and wants a lift to her spaceship. Peppa Pig is confused because firefighters don't give lifts despite having enough room in the fire engine to do so. But wait, Peppa gets it and changes clothes to become a taxi driver and drive in a taxi car out of nowhere. SUZY SHEEP~?! Peppa and Candy go into the taxi and drive away as I discover Mandy Mouse is cosplaying a crosswalk officer and not a firefighter. Penny Polar Bear has to touch Mandy in order for Mandy to let them cross as we drive around Lil' Town as Emily cosplaying a gardener complete with being a water sprayer. We finally arrive at the most rinky-dink space launch of all time. Candy gets out and gets into the spaceship as Peppa wipes her hands clean of this. Suzy cuts her off because it's all big news in Lil Town. This would probably be a big story in Porters Lake, Nova Scotia to have a space rocket launch into space where the launcher is from Porters Lake. However, it is actually a crime, because even in the world of Peppa Pig, if it bleeds it leads. Or in this case, Danny Dog's shovel has been stolen. Gerald is a member of ICE as he has ticketed this fire engine for deportation to a country that likely needs the fire engine far more than Britian ever did. Oh yeah, the fire engine is suffering from paper fire damage as well. Suzy Sheep then demands a ride home in the taxi as Peppa is now confused and cannot change clothes. If you listen closely, you can hear Miss Rabbit laughing and crying all the way to the bank. Speaking of Miss Rabbit, in she comes to declare the session over and everyone leaves except Peppa. Miss Rabbit asks how Peppa is doing and Peppa feels down because she's now in the same position Miss Rabbit always has been in every episode Miss Rabbit is in. Miss Rabbit tells her that there is one job she can do which is to be a kid. Miss Rabbit and Peppa hug and everyone gets hugs from the parents. I'm sorry, but the Duggee Hug cannot be topped. Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig (with Evie and George), Daddy Zebra, Mummy Cat and Mummy Sheep have arrived to pick up the children. The Pig family hugs Peppa as the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:07. This episode was really fun, and Peppa got the taste of Miss Rabbit's gimmick and it didn't taste all that good. *** 3/4 (75%).

Fancy Train: Short opens as a train as Mummy Pig is running yelling at the train conductor to stop as we see the rest of the family inside the train! Mummy has a golden ticket, a purple bag and is wearing an orange bow hat as Miss Rabbit stops the train and apologizes. It's time for this angle to stop, Mummy Pig is going to die if this continues. The sliding door opens and Mummy Pig goes inside as everyone meets and greets in order to allow the narrator to explain that Mummy Pig won a contest for the family to ride on a fancy train, as per the title episode. Miss Rabbit arrives calling them sirs and madams, I'm certain Gigi Gazelle is not on board this train because that would be awkward. Mr. Dine-e-saur is wearing a tuxedo with a red bowtie, that was funny. Peppa shows little regrad for Teddy, he only gets a blue bowtie. Mummy Pig scans the golden ticket and Miss Rabbit throws everything into the closet like it's horrible to her. Uh-oh! She's going to crash out fierce at this rate. Mummy Pig will not allow the purple bag though, so everyone goes into the train seats area. It looks more like a prison train than a fancy train. I'm not buying the narrator's promo here as everyone sits down and shoots the breeze in a pre-school show way. Peppa then discovers that this is just a train ride, and not a holiday vacation to somewhere where no one tells her. Then I'm proven wrong about the train, because a touch screen device pops up from the table. The options include: air conditioning (the lavander wind effects), heated seats (the seat with red wave lines), the reclining seat, music (music note), food/drink, and location from point A to point B which I thought was a skipping rope when I first saw it. Daddy Pig touches the air conditioner and the females do not like this, so Mummy Pig counters the cold with heated seats. Evie looks like she wants to mess with Mummy Pig's hat, but cannot reach it. Another reference to the word "bum" on this show as everyone giggles in amusement.

In comes Miss Rabbit with a triple decker cart containing lemonade and fruit, the perfect combination of snacks for me. As everyone gets their food, Daddy Pig then asks who is driving the train if Miss Rabbit is here, and of course they have a Miss Rabbit controlled robot doing the train driving. Considering Miss Rabbit's gimmick, making robots do all the work while Miss Rabbit does one job would be a better gimmick in hindsight. Daddy Pig breathes a sight of relief and so am I, albeit for a different reason. George gets onto the table and pushes the reclining chair button just to annoy Daddy Pig. HAHA! George says oops after Daddy tells him to stop and then crawls back to his seat. The family watches the trees outside as Peppa is playing "I Spy" for the first time in many years and it's basically more and more trees. Mummy Pig is bored and Daddy Pig is struggling to get up as Miss Rabbit announces on speakers that the world's fastest train is coming by very shortly. The white bullet train whizzes by and it is so fast that one leaf manages to blow onto the train tracks. This is enough for Miss Rabbit to stop the train and we have a leaf delay. HAHA! Even funnier; Miss Rabbit uses the pural version before catching herself to say the singular word of "leaf". Mummy Pig is appalled by this, that was also funny. Miss Rabbit cannot get off the train, take the leaf and bring it inside, so the train is now stuck. This is a hilariously fun finish as Mummy Pig worries about being late, but Peppa don't care because of course! Peppa turns on the music as Daddy Pig loves the view. We end the episode at 3:06 with Miss Rabbit coming out wearing a biohazard suit picking the leaf with a grabber stick, as if the leaf is radioactive. Okay, this is one of the funniest endings to Peppa Pig Tales I have ever seen, and the episode was great overall. Yup, Alison Ray wrote this episode of course. **** 1/2 (90%).

Evie's Check Up: Short opens at the doctor's office as Peppa is watching Zuzu and Zaza Zebra with Daddy Zebra acting like toddlers. Oh wait...Peppa comments about Daddy Zebra's post hat as Officer Panda is in the background, probably doing a sting operation of some kind. Evie is in the stroller, so it gives away that Evie's the one getting the check up today. There is a woman in purple carrying an albino toddler who looks like Danny Dog in pink clothes. Out from the office is Doctor Polar Bear calling for Evie Pig as we head into her office, and holy shit it looks like an awesome place to go for a check up, as the narrator states the obvious title card for us. Mummy Pig and Evie sit down in a wooden chair as Doctor Polar Bear is at the desk checking data on her laptop, while Peppa bails carrying the stroller away stage left. Doctor Polar Bear and Mummy Pig exchanges notes for a while as Evie is becoming a chatterbox. Like sister like baby sister, eh?! Peppa apparently can translate Evie to British English now. Okay, good to know. Peppa is nodding and teeth smiling because she knows that this is bullshit and she knows she's no match for Doctor Polar Bear in knowledge. Doctor Polar Bear decides to take Evie and Evie is already whining about it. Mummy Pig assures Evie that she is here to observe as Doctor Polar Bear weighes Evie on the scale as Peppa asks if Mummy Pig speaks baby, which was amusing. Evie is amused now as she likes tape measures for some reason. Peppa claims that Evie is the biggest baby in the whole world. That is one hell of a delusion there, methinks. Doctor Polar Bear nicely tells her to sod off, because Evie is just average. Uh oh! Gio Savage is not going to like this. Doctor Polar Bear writes on her notepad as we exchange more notes on food intake as Peppa claims that Evie likes mushy-wushy foods the best. At the rate my teeth are going, that's the only food I will be able to like.

Peppa pretty much explains it to me and Doctor Polar Bear as Doctor Polar Bear checks Evie's temperature under Evie's right arm. Evie burps and Doctor Polar Bear laughs. Doctor Polar Bear has an interesting accent, if anyone knows what it is, please let me know. It doesn't affect her promos though. Peppa then claims that Evie wants to eat spaghetti like Peppa, and Doctor Polar Bear of course! Peppa also claims that Evie likes mushy carrots and Mummy Pig asks how she got that from a single burp. My answer is that Peppa Pig is a troll and this is just Peppa being Peppa. Doctor Polar Bear checks the fingers and toes for flexibility as Evie giggles, and the doctor laughs in response. Peppa claims that Evie is trying not to be naughty. Hey, the pink gaslighting troll actually is right here. I need a drink now. Peppa claims that Evie is ticklish and Mummy Pig demonstrates "like sister, like baby sister" in response. Evie is put back in the stroller and is declares a healthy baby. Yup, no mention of vaccines here which disappoints me. Doctor Polar Bear than checks on Mummy Pig as Mummy Pig sighs while acting and saying that she is happy. Mummy Pig has been in a parent support group since the birth and Doctor Polar Bear tells her that she is there if Mummy Pig needs her. Peppa than exchanges notes with Evie, that was funny. Doctor Polar Bear recommends this baby talk translation to help Evie speak. Peppa pushes the stroller stage left as everyone follows her while the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:09. A fun episode, but the lack of vaccine talk is really cowardly when the mainline series was willing to talk about it even if Peppa never got vaccinated outside of a story book. *** 1/2 (70%).

Say Yes: Short opens at the shopping center as Evie is already in the stroller bawling her eyes out. What a way to start this episode?! Peppa and George are ahead smiling while Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are annoyed. HAHA! Daddy and Mummy Pig yawn because Evie has not gone to sleep yet and they are tired. Mummy Pig decides to take the stroller and Evie stage left to quiet her down as Daddy Pig decides to do the shopping with Peppa and George. Mummy calls them piggies, including Daddy Pig before kissing Daddy Pig. Okay, then that also creeped me out. Daddy Pig checks the list and he is sleeping on his feet now while yawning. George giggles in amusement as Peppa takes the shopping list which might as well have been written by Pickle & Peanut. Peppa and George want to be the ones in charge and all Daddy Pig has to do is "Say Yes" as per the title card. Uh-oh! TRAINWRECK INCOMING~! This is Peppa Pig we are talking about, the biggest troll in all of pre-school shows. Daddy Pig accepts and here we go. Daddy Pig picks up a black tuxedo from the coat rack in some department store. Easy! But wait! Peppa Pig is in charge, you see; so those clothes must be colorful. Also, Miss Rabbit is RIGHT THERE waiting to show a door containing colorful work clothes. Because, of course! We have to make Daddy Pig the GEEK OF THE WEEK, somehow. As if having Peppa Pig in charge wasn't enough. They go into the colorful clothes room and Peppa and George bring out colorful clothes and Daddy Pig already realizes that he's screwed now. HAHA! There is a lot of purple in these clothes, with some yellow and green sprinkled in. Daddy Pig goes into the changing room and out he comes looking like a dork, mostly the yellow cape. Peppa doesn't call it fun enough, just to increase the pain on Daddy Pig and the giggles from me. Hey, Daddy Pig was the one who gave Peppa Pig, a girl who never worked a day in her life to be in charge of wardrobe for a serious business job. What did you expect?!

We continue this nonsense in a fun way for a long ass whomping time. Yes, the dine-e-saur shirt also gets involved, just to give George his flowers for this episode. Daddy Pig is dressed like a rap star and the kids accept this, so Daddy Pig swipes the debt card from the scanner Miss Rabbit provides. At least Daddy Pig isn't dressing up like a baby, as Bandit did in a Bluey episode. That was chic, so to speak. Next up is glasses as Daddy Pig yawns again. Daddy Pig might as well be hung over and drunk at this point. Miss Rabbit then rushes in, changes into a lab coat and puts on rubber gloves. Oh, come on now! We go to the glasses area as Daddy Pig loses his old glasses and Daddy Pig tries on the pink pineapple trim lens of hilarious doom, just to make him look like a bigger geek...and a rapper. Daddy Pig picks the orange trimmed glasses as Miss Rabbit calls it divine. The glasses or Daddy Pig's new career as a rapper?! Hey, I could go for the rap look for Daddy Pig and have a competition with Miss Rabbit. Mainline series, this needs to be done! Miss Rabbit puts the glasses in a box and Daddy Pig takes out his debit card to swipe on the scanner. Last up is to find some shoes. I put 2:1 odds it will be clown shoes because of course! I'm done with calling most of this. The only shoes that did make me giggle were the orange cream soda shoes which double as skates, because we have to make Daddy Pig look like a bigger geek...and a rapper. Mummy Polar Bear, Daddy Zebra and Mr. Bull make an appearance during the skating sequence. Miss Rabbit asks about the wheely shoes and Daddy Pig accepts them. Everyone slaps skin as we jump cut to Mummy Pig with Evie in the stroller near a fountain. Please for the love of life, make this episode complete with Daddy Pig skating in and falling into the fountain. Sadly, it doesn't happen as Daddy Pig picks up the kids, they cut promos, the narrator says it all to end the episode at 3:04. Very fun episode, although this would have been a clear thumbs up if Daddy Pig fell into the fountain. *** 3/4 (75%).

THE REVIEW LINE

Well, this was one of those rants where I actually hated an episode. Fireworks Night is that kind of episode where they made Daddy Pig look like a geek in order to make it look like everyone was cruel to Evie who didn't deserve it. Sure, the episode ended the right way, but the journey to it was child abuse to me. It was awful, the first truly awful episode involving Evie actually. Fancy Train was the exact opposite and this was literally the Miss Rabbit show here, including one of the funniest endings I have seen since Duggee and the sockpuppet going rouge incident. Come on now, I'm going to seriously buy that Miss Rabbit did a biohazard suit to pick up a leaf?! Miss Rabbit was hilarious in that episode. Witches & Fairies was really good as well, but I don't get the Wicked For Good stuff the wikia is telling me because this show has had Peppa and Suzy cosplaying witches and fairies long before this movie even existed. I also love them quarreling here because they tried hard not to crash out, but ultimately it failed for my pleasure, and seeing Peppa be the geek doing it is many buys! Say Yes, Li'l Town and Baby Food were also really fun, but Fireworks left a horrible taste in my mouth and I don't hate fireworks at all unlike some. Overall, it was one of those rants. So...

Thumbs up for Witches & Fairies and Fancy Train. Thumbs down for Fireworks Night. Thumbs in the middle for the rest, and I'll see you all next time.
