Daddy Gets Fit (Peppa Pig)

Daddy Gets Fit is the 42nd episode of Season 1 of Peppa Pig.

Why It Needs to Get Fit

 * 1) Peppa is extremely unlikeable in this episode as she fat shames Daddy Pig for being unable to keep fit. She is a Karma Houdini because she never gets her comeuppance for her behavior and actions all throughout the episode.
 * 2) The difficult exercises Peppa has Daddy Pig do make him either become tired very quickly or feel minor pain, which sounds very embarrassing and cringe-worthy rather than entertaining for people.
 * 3) Daddy Pig pedaling on Mummy Pig's antique exercise bike noise can be quite an ear grating annoyance for anyone, especially those of older audiences (depending on your view).
 * 4) The message of this episode is that it's alright to fat shame your family members and force them to exercise (regardless of difficulty whatsoever). Fitness is a personal decision, everyone is different. We need to focus on our own personal responsibilities and make ourselves feel ecstatic about our bodies.
 * 5) Unlike Peppa, Mummy Pig actually never fat shames Daddy Pig about his weight; she is, however, somewhat unlikeable when she insisted that he needs to exercise right this second instead of doing it the next day. (See WINTGF #4)
 * 6) Daddy Pig shouldn't have put Peppa in charge of monitoring his exercise progress. If anything, he could have either done the exercises Peppa "advised" him to do or asked Mummy Pig or George to monitor him.
 * 7) Peppa had the dumbest idea of all: getting Daddy Pig to ride her bike. Not to be rude or make fun of Daddy Pig's weight, but Peppa's bike is very small for him to ride on, and Peppa's weak brakes on her bike were the reason that Daddy Pig fell into Mrs Duck's pond.
 * 8) Half-Bad Ending: Peppa reminds Daddy Pig that he must exercise every day (depending on your view).
 * 9) The part where Daddy Pig crashes into The Duck Pond. He could have got off the bike instead of using the brakes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Daddy Pig is likeable.
 * 2) Daddy Pig watching TV and counting up to 100 at the same time can be entertaining (depending on your view).
 * 3) The exercises Daddy Pig attempted to do are reasonable enough ways for him to keep fit.
 * 4) Mummy Pig at least feels sympathy for Daddy Pig when he had dealt with his predicament.
 * 5) Half-Good Ending: Although Peppa did fat shame her father throughout the episode, she did tell him she'd help him make sure he gets fit.
 * 6) The episode does teach kids about the importance of exercise and staying fit, even though the moral was poorly executed.
 * 7) It could be possible that the events of the episode were forgotten or ignored, as Daddy not seen exercising every day in most episodes of the show.
 * 8) *Peppa is also shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig in the next episode.

Reception

 * "Daddy Gets Fit" was met with mainly negative responses but a few positive ones, thus giving this episode on IMDb a 4.2/10.
