Withtout having to actually tune in. what exactly does he do that's so bad? I can see in one of these posts that even right there in the theme song there's a reference to quitting when things get tough or something. But wiht the universal hatred this kid gets there's gotta be plenty of examples. Is he just a little a-hole that disobeys his parents? Does he bully other kids? I'm so curious now.



Kids have a tendency to emulate his behavior. Which consists of constant temper tantrums (I'm pretty sure there's one every episode), talking back parents, etc. He's super bratty, is unnecessarily mean to his sister.

And the parents are about as potato as it gets. They're generally just shitty parents.

This article from Fatherly explains it pretty well but this passage is spot on:

quote:

Caillou is possessed by a demonic force and strives toward only evil. He pinches his baby sister just to see her cry. Caillou was created as a baby in the books upon which the show was based, so as he aged he bizarrely wasn’t given hair because the creators wanted him to still remain babylike in appearance. The result is a creepy Benjamin Button baby child with a horrific temper.

I heard someone explain that Ms. Rachel is witchcraft in a half kidding way.

After seeing my youngest completely zone out watching her, I now fully believe she is made of wood.

The dad on Bluey cracks me up. I’ll find myself watching it even if my daughter isn’t paying attention to it.

This show is terrible and Canada should be invaded and destroyed for unleashing it on the rest of the world. The goodwill that nation accrued from giving us Gordon Lightfoot, Bob and Doug McKenzie, and Alex Trebek is completely undone by this bald headed whiny jackass.
as a person who was once paid to watch this horrorshow every day, can confirm

I was just reading this was actually a French show and not a French Canadian show?

Supposedly the old episodes are all horrible where he’s a little shite but at a certain point, they realized he was a little shite and revamped the show into a much more positive experience where he is less a little shite. Per the internet

I hate Cocomelon. Caillou is much, much worse than Cocomelon.

So much worse.
