So my son was just entered the Blippi stage. After enduring a full episode, I'm not sure how much more I can take. Seeking advice from parents who have survived his hell.

How long does this stage generally last? Are we talking a couple of months max or do I need to strap myself in for a year or two?

Thanks in advance

  1. Justice for Nicky Notes! also he’s not the original Blippi. Don’t google what that guy did first.

  2. Distract with higher quality shows! Kiri & Lou, Bluey, Puffin Rock, etc

  3. Blippi or to use his full title, Blippi – the guy who threw poo at his mate online to get famous

  4. just sit your child down, explain to them that everyone in the show/that reality simply died and no longer exists. the problem will go away in a week

  5. early episodes of blippi are annoying but at least educational. theres an episode where he goes snowboarding (hes actually really good), another where he meets sean white, he drives heavy machinery and teaches basic engine maintenance (checking oil etc), can ride a horse. theres also the excellent bulldozer and excavator song (its an earth investigator, its an excavaaator)wait a second i think ive been insitutionalised.

  6. My son has non verbal autism. It has been 4 years with blippi. I try to distract with water play, trampoline, “discos“ (ie- dancing in the living room with his favourite music), bubbles, trains, Thomas the tank engine, Ben and Holly, baking, going to the park, walks, anything animal related (going to pet the horses in the farmers field (I have have asked him- he he cool with it), going to the zoo when we have a pass (I always try to get one every year since I get in free as my sons carer- it will be quite expensive for a family of four). We also go to markets and I often scour the web for free events in the area. I know the council will be able to provide details of any events that may interest you and there also maybe facebook groups dedicated to parents in your area too for “fun days” that won’t break the bank. I hope this helps and I hope I can help you avoid Blippi as his voice literally makes my bones feel icky.

  7. Put the history channel on. 24 hours a day of alien conspiracy and WW2.

  8. Not even the real Blippi. He regenerates like doctor who

  9. The Ryan stage was much worse, but even that wasn’t as bad as the Steve and Maggie stage, I wanted to plunge a rusty screw driver into my ears

  10. Pro tip! Watch what you watched as a toddler. Most of it is on YouTube. And brings back a wave of nostalgia

  11. “Blippi retired, he doesn’t work on weekends, he’s gone to bed” we’ve banned Blippi in our house because our son’s behaviour would go out of control for some reason when we watched it. It’s OK to have rules about what your kid watches!

  12. May I suggest that you distract him with something else?

    Personally I suggest with:

    Lexibook Paw Patrol K360PA 7 Comfortable Blue/Yellow Movie Chase Marshall, Toy, Set of 7 Music Instruments (Drum, Maracas, Castanet, Harmonica, Recorder, Trumpet, Tambourine), Convenient Game to Carry https://amzn.eu/d/aZP8Izb

    This may or may not be one of my go tos for the children of naughty parents.

    Which also includes:

    The Frozen version of that drum set and

    Frozen: Recorder Fun! – Pack with Songbook and Instrument https://amzn.eu/d/1RoIAAl

    How many times can a parent listen to Let It Snow played by their kid badly on a recorder?

  13. I see your Blippi, and raise you In the Night Garden regularly for almost two years.

    I know all the names, I know all the songs, my impressions are on point. And I’ve definitely seen every episode several times over.

    It’s like a fever dream.

  14. I regret to inform you that my kid has enjoyed Blippi for over a year now, and it’s an ongoing torture.

    I’ve resorted to only agreeing to any screen time on the condition he watches something different because there’s only so much I can take before my foot’s going through the screen.

    Blippi is truly annoying even for kids’ TV, I miss the days of Paw Patrol and Baby Shark.

  15. My daughter enjoys Ms Rachel. My wife accidentally cos played as Ms Rachel. This has had two side effects.

    1. I now have to cos play as Blippi

    2. I now have a slight crush on Ms Rachel

  16. My son is into Steve and Maggie. It’s on YouTube. Some people love him, some people hate him. I think that goes for most kid’s shows.

  17. Block it – they will forget it in less than two days

  18. YouTube kids somehow stopped working on all our devices for a few years, such a shame. Meant our child could only watch Cbeebies or Disney+, but my goodness it saved my sanity, not having Blippi on all the time!

  19. I was on a bus, and one of the TV screens (because apparently buses have TV screens now) would loop an advert for Blippi Live, and just watching that in silent made me mad. It looks like complete drivel.

  20. check out Handyman Hal….takes a while to adjust to his accent but he covers a lot of the stuff Blippi does but with a bit more context than just ‘whoah, wow, I’m soo excited!’.
