Edmond Elephant's Birthday (Peppa Pig)



Edmond Elephant's Birthday is an episode of Peppa Pig, it is the 49th episode of the 3rd season.

Why It Isn't A Happy Birthday

 * 1) George, Richard, Edmond, Zuzu, and Zaza are very unlikable in this episode as they constantly cry for everything, which gets annoying fast, in fact, this episode holds the record for most crying scenes in any Peppa Pig episode.
 * 2) Peppa (while not her absolute worst here ) isn't any better in this episode, as she acts like a spoiled brat for not getting invited to the birthday and wants the younger ones to hurry up on all of the games, showing her as impatient.
 * 3) The episode is also a bit of a torture episode for Peppa's friends, as they have to suffer through George, Richard, Edmond, Zuzu and Zaza crying all the time.
 * 4) In addition to George, Richard, Edmond, Zuzu and Zaza being unlikable, every time when one kid wins a game, the other kids cry over it, showing that they're sore losers.
 * 5) Peppa and her friends never even scold George, Richard, Edmond, Zuzu and Zaza or give them any sort of consequence or punishment for crying over the games.
 * 6) Half-Bad ending: The helpers can eat what is left over, but the parents come to pick them up, meaning they can't have anything to eat.
 * 7) George attempts to do a rather selfish move by cheating in passing the parcel, where he tries to shake the box while the music is playing, and then he attempts to fight over it with Zaza.
 * 8) Misleading title: Despite being an anniversary episode, the anniversary is irrelevant to the plot, you might as well drop the anniversary references from this episode and switch to Easter or Christmas references and almost nothing would change.
 * 9) Suzy (while not as bad as the toddlers and Peppa) is rather unfair when the toddlers play the Musical Statues game, as she kicks out Zuzu and Edmond for blinking and Richard for squeaking, even though that's not physically moving which technically makes her just as insufferable as Peppa, George, Richard, Edmond, Zuzu and Zaza.
 * 10) Bad moral: If you lose at a game, always cry non-stop because of it and be a sore loser.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Danny and Emily are still likable characters despite not scolding or giving the toddlers any consequences or punishments.
 * 2) * The other adults are likeable for the most part.
 * 3) Even though none of the toddlers got any punishment for crying, George was the only one who (kind of) got a little bit of comeuppance, as Peppa takes George's medal that he unfairly got due to him cheating at Pass the Parcel by fighting over the parcel with Zaza.
 * 4) The concept of the episode of Edmond Birthday could have been executed well (other birthday episodes such as George's Birthday, My (Peppa's) Birthday Party, Grandpa Pig's Birthday, Mummy Pig's Birthday, Zoë Zebra the Postman's Daughter, Daddy Pig's Birthday, Danny's Pirate Party, Grampy Rabbit's Dinosaur Park, Wendy Wolf's Birthday, Mandy Mouse's Birthday, Undersea Party and Superhero Party executed it way better)
