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.

    The animals don’t “work” because they are valued team members that don’t work for us but rather contract with us while wearing Peppa Pig TM logos on their clothing.

    This work is strictly voluntary, but any team member who absents themselves from it will have their rations reduced by half. :)

      It reminds me of hypnotoad. Went from bouncing off the wall, having sobbing on the floor meltdowns over the fact that my car is broken and demanding everything in the pantry to zonking out on the couch like a frat kid watching Koyaanisqatsi on his first edible.
