Picnic (Peppa Pig)

"Oh, leave the poor guy alone! He was probably up at 5 am making that picnic lunch for the family. Let him enjoy the fricking moment and have a snooze in the Sun."

Picnic is the 15th episode of Season 1 of Peppa Pig.

Why It Doesn't Deserve To Go On A Picnic

 * 1) Like The Tree House and later episodes of this series, Peppa fat shames Daddy Pig about his weight. She is hugely unlikable for doing so and never gets her comeuppance for her behaviour and actions throughout the episode.
 * 2) Mummy Pig is also quite unlikable in this episode. She states that she wants to eat and then have a nap (which is what Daddy Pig does later in the episode), yet she calls her husband out for being unable to exercise.
 * 3) This episode is infamously known for being the first Daddy Pig torture episode because of all the problems he had to endure throughout the episode.
 * 4) Maybe had Peppa, George and Mummy Pig packed more bread or used any other food for the ducks, the three wouldn't have needed to give all of the strawberry cake to the ducks. There was a watermelon, a banana, two apples, a pear and even some grapes they could have also fed them, but did they bother with that? No!
 * 5) It is apparent that the insect flying around Mummy Pig was a bee, not a wasp - the writers of this episode didn't know what type of insect it was just by their appearance!
 * 6) Animation error: in the scene which the wasp flies around Mummy Pig, in a certain point, the insect's eyes are broken and thats result very creepy. Furthermore, the wasp in some scene have more bigger eyes and the sting on its face!
 * 7) Mummy Pig, Peppa and George didn't even go out of their way to help poor Daddy Pig prevent himself from getting stung by the bee, proving that all three are Karma Houdinis who felt no remorse for their poor ol' man.
 * 8) Three bad morals: This episode teaches you not one, not two, but three bad morals:
 * 9) When a bee or wasp is near you, run away from it! That isn't the answer because female wasps tend to sting you multiple times, and it will only make them want to sting you when aggravated. If anything, move away from the bee and wasps very slowly without giving them a reason to sting you.
 * 10) Ask for more food even if you're full. So much food consumption requires your organs to work even harder to secrete extra hormones and enzymes to break your food down, which in turn may either cause what you would have eaten back up into your oesophagus and suffer from heartburn, gain a lot of weight, feel fatigued very quickly or even make you have a stomachache and become so sick you would want to regurgitate.
 * 11) Take someone's food after all the suffering they've been through (depending on your view); just because someone has suffered does not mean you take their food and not let them eat something they might like (depending on your perspective).
 * 12) Bad Ending: Daddy Pig was a bit of a scapegoat in this episode as he decides to let the ducks eat his piece of strawberry cake. After being chased around the grasslands, he didn't get to eat his piece of strawberry cake because Mummy Pig, Peppa and George ate their slices and promised to give some cake to the ducks. What you saw shows that Peppa, George and even Mummy Pig are all very unlikable in this episode for being too unreasonable. One may say that the three of them are also greedy for the actions they did here. In fact, it would have made much more sense if Peppa just gave her own slice to the ducks rather than take away Daddy Pig's slice.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Daddy Pig is likable in this episode, and he can be treated as sympathetic despite being abused throughout the entire episode.
 * 2) WIDDTGOAP #2 may be null and void at the end of the episode because Daddy Pig managed to do a bit of exercise from all that running away from a wasp.
