History YMMV / PeppaPig

* Daddy Pig, to a lesser extent, is this on the fanon wiki, for very strange reasons. There was once even a section on his page on that wiki claiming him to indulge in domestic violence and child abuse ForTheEvulz, and go on rampages over bread, water and cheese. Yeah.

* MemeticBadass: Daddy Pig apparently, mainly because some feel sick and tired of the show's endless ButtMonkey treatment of him.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Downplayed. Those who dislike Peppa (or the show itself) tend to feel sorry for Daddy Pig who is usually the ButtMonkey of the show, including whenever Peppa comments about his tummy. Granted, this is usually played for laughs and is in no way meant to be malicious.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Most Americans figure that the show is a fairly recent creation, but it has been around since 2004. Its popularity really only started exploding in America around the mid-2010s.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The infants cried so many times in almost every episode of the series is enough to tickle the viewer's funny bone, mostly the teen audience.

** The Queen is also hated, due to being an offensive stereotype of Queen Elizabeth II. Even The Queen herself hated how she was portrayed in the show.

** The infamous episode "Mr. Skinnylegs" tells us that spiders are harmless, without drawing any distinction between the various species [[note]][[ValuesDissonance It would indeed vary on the location in question]]. In the UK and certain parts of the US, ''most'' native spiders are harmless with only a few, like the black widow and the brown recluse, that people actually need to worry about. Australia, on the other hand, is home to some of the world's most venomous spiders, and that's why the episode was banned there[[/note]]. Needless to say, their venom can be very harmful and even deadly to humans.

* UncannyValley: The designs don't translate well to three-dimensional models like the toys or character costumes. Most of the other characters have rodent-like faces.

* WTHCastingAgency: Creator/MinnieDriver as Baby Alexander, whose only vocal effects are baby sounds.

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda''. Back in 2014, there were multiple ''Peppa Pig'' fanfics that were word-for-word copies of ''Angela Anaconda'' episodes, with Peppa being Angela, Danny being Johnny, Suzy being Gina, Pedro being Gordy, and Emily being Nanette. This also resulted in the odd spectacle of Danny's family owning a pizza parlor, Suzy being a BigEater, and Emily being an AlphaBitch.

** Though not enough to stop it from getting a ''theme park'' there, Americans aren't too terribly fond of it either, often comparing it to the much-maligned WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}. There was also one period where parents were upset that their kids watching the show was causing them to start speaking with English accents.

* NightmareFuel: In "The Carnival", Mr. Potato almost ending up getting ''killed'' by Ms. Rabbit's helicopter's blades is a very intense moment, at least to the target audience. Even then, it's rather disturbing that someone almost ''died'' in such a horrific way in a preschool show.

** Out of the kids in Peppa's playgroup, Pedro Pony is the most hated. This is because of him being annoying, dumb, an offensive American stereotype, his voice, and the Baked Beans Song he sings in an episode further added to his hatedom.

** There are multiple fanfics (which are actually just word-for-word copies of ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' episodes) that depict Emily Elephant as a rich, snobby AlphaBitch who hates Peppa, Danny, Suzy, and Pedro, when Emily is actually very nice and friendly in canon.

** [[SnarkBait It's also very popular to mock in Russia]]. It has a share of fans there, but it is mostly hated.

** Mr. Potato is this in the Piggy game on VideoGame/{{Roblox}}. Mr. Potato is a FriendtoAllChildren in canon, often encouraging them to eat their vegetables. But in Piggy he is a BitchInSheepsClothing who caused the apocalypse that takes place in the game. [[spoiler: Though it was unintentional, as he was trying to save his dying wife from a disease]]

* ArchivePanic: As of 2019, the show suffered this (aside with the following facts: being a CashCowFranchise and a LongRunner), it'll take more like ten to twenty barns to put everything in the franchise released so far. With the original programme confirmed to continue through at least 2027, the franchise is well on the way to Massive ArchivePanic, if not already there. Fortunately, there's Website/YouTube.

** The show is a gigantic phenomenon in Latin America, especially in Mexico, despite being almost a complete unknown before 2013[[note]] the series had previously aired on the Latin American version of Boomerang, when the channel shifted from its original classic format to one oriented at all ages[[/note]]. There, it's so popular among small kids and even older people that Peppa cuddly toys are sold even by street vendors, and that in 2015, an official Peppa Pig live-show tour was sold out several months before it even began. Discovery Kids, the channel that airs the series in the region, runs about four daily hours of episodes.

** Apparently, Italian parents were not pleased with the show, pointing out titular character's bratty nature. What certainly doesn't help was the Italian Holiday arc having ''several'' {{Take That}}s against Italy.
