* AccidentalInnuendo: In "Valentine's Day", Daddy Pig get a bunch of Valentine letters from everyone in town due to a misunderstanding, and Mummy Pig asks him in a suspicious voice who sent him all the letters. [[ReallyGetsAround Get around much]], Daddy Pig?
* AmericansHateTingle:
** Apparently, Italian parents are not pleased with the show, pointing out the titular character's bratty nature. What certainly doesn't help was the Italian Holiday arc having ''several'' {{Take That}}s against Italy.
** It's also very popular to mock in Russia. It has a share of fans there, but it is mostly hated.
* ArchivePanic: As of 2019, the show has suffered from this (aside from the following facts: being a CashCowFranchise and a LongRunner). It'll take ten to twenty barns to store its 300+ episodes and everything else in the franchise released so far. With the original programme confirmed to continue through at least 2027, the franchise is not going to stop producing episodes any time soon. Fortunately, there's Website/YouTube, as well as home video releases.
* AssPull: In "International Day", all the kids break out into an argument. Just then, their parents arrive to listen to their song about world peace. They suddenly stop arguing and perform the song perfectly with no rhyme or reason why.
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Peppa can be either funny, or a whiny, obnoxious BrattyHalfPint.
** George is either seen as an innocent child who tends to get unfairly teased by his sister, or a BrattyHalfPint whose tendency to sob is annoying.
* BrokenBase:
** Peppa and Mummy Pig joking about Daddy Pig having a "big tummy". Some see this as overly mean, hypocritical since all ''Peppa Pig'' characters have round tummies, or even "body shaming". Others, however, see the humour in it and think of it as just familial ribbing. One episode shows that if someone from outside the family mocks Daddy Pig's weight, it pushes Mummy Pig's BerserkButton.
** The show is this in Italy, while Italian kids don't mind the show (in fact, they even love it) and is where the Peppa Pig YouTubePoop originated from, Italian parents dislike the show with the issues as mentioned above in AmericansHateTingle.
* CommonKnowledge: It is assumed by the public that ''Peppa Pig'' was BannedInChina by the government for the popular "gangster" interpretation of her. Actually, Douyin (the Chinese version of Platform/{{TikTok}}) was the one who did the banning, and only of adult content featuring her, not wanting WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids reactions.
* 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.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Gabriella Goat has a pretty sizable fandom.
** A random background frog became insanely popular in 2020.
* FandomRivalry: With ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}''. Both use being part of the opposing fandom as an insult, and Peppa Pig fans are expected to be Bluey haters. This mainly stems from ''Bluey'' fans claiming that the show was similar to ''Peppa Pig'', but a lot better, which rubbed the ''Peppa Pig'' fans up the wrong way and caused them to view them as snobs.
* 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.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
** The show is a gigantic phenomenon in Latin America, especially in Mexico, despite being almost completely 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.
** China has a humongous fanbase. You'll see ''Peppa Pig'' merchandise being sold in many places in China, and it's the second most-popular show on its Chinese channel, [=YoYo=] TV, only being beaten by ''[[Anime/YoKaiWatch Yo-Kai Watch]]''. It also seems to have influenced the Chinese cartoon ''Animation/OurFriendXiongXiaoMi'', whose art style greatly resembles that of ''Peppa Pig''. This to the point China received a full-length movie ''Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year'' made just for that country, and will have two ''Peppa Pig'' theme parks opening in 2019.
** Its popularity in Italy (Mostly with Italian kids, [[AmericansHateTingle Italian parents, however, are a different story.]]) boomed up in 2012 and keeps creeping around the nation. It’s also the notable creator of the Peppa Pig YouTubePoop.
** It's big in Canada, taking the crown from ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' as Treehouse TV's most aired non-Canadian program.
** The show's been a pretty big success among children in the United States ever since Creator/NickJr got the broadcasting rights. And it's only grown larger since then, as the official Peppa Pig Website/YouTube channel often uploads full episodes for free with billions of views. The merchandise is just as popular as it is in the UK and they even got the live show.
*** And in the wake of [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID-19]] lockdowns and other disruptions, some American parents now claim that their kids have [[https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jul/19/peppa-pig-american-kids-british-accents picked up British accents]] from binge-watching the show.
*** As of August of 2023, a Peppa pig theme park is located in Florida on Legoland property, and another theme park is planned to open somewhere in Texas.
** The show is somewhat beloved in Asian territories such as Japan.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The favourite song of Peppa's playgroup is called "The Bing Bong Song". It didn't get much attention drawn to it until [=YouTube=] visitors were looking for ''another'' Bing Bong Song... ''[[WesternAnimation/InsideOut "Who's your friend who likes to play? Bing Bong, Bing Bong!"]]''
** The show in general is about a female character that [[ColorCodedCharacters wears red]] and lives with her glasses-wearing BumblingDad, mother and younger brother. The latter one, specifically, wears blue and is [[KidsLoveDinosaurs obsessed with dinosaurs]]. [[WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines Hmm...]]
** In the episode "Pedro's Cough", there's a RunningGag of Madame Gazelle [[MusicalisInterruptus getting her "Miss Polly Had a Dolly" song interrupted]] twice, but manages to sing it entirely during the end credits. Cut to thirteen years later, where [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio a cricket]] would experience the same problem.
* MemeticBadass: Daddy Pig apparently, mainly because some feel sick and tired of the show's endless ButtMonkey treatment of him. He may also be a MemeticPsychopath, if the Peppa Pig fanon wiki is anything to go by.
* MemeticMutation: [[Memes/PeppaPig Now has its own page]].
* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Peppa's "WEE!" and by an extent, her "YIPEE!" shout is ''adorable''.
* NightmareFuel: Yes, even ''Peppa Pig'' of all shows has a Nightmare Fuel moment. 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.
* 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 early-to-mid 2010s.
* RonTheDeathEater:
** There are multiple fanfics 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.
** Mr. Potato is this in the Piggy game on ''Platform/{{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.]]
** 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.
* TheScrappy:
** Even those who like the series or watch it ironically tend to hate the narrator, since he's the textbook example of NarratingTheObvious. Many believe he supports the ill belief that ViewersAreMorons, though it likely has something to do with the preschool target audience.
** Mr. Potato is disliked by a lot of people too, due to his annoying theme music and jingle every time he appears, his design being out of place, his omnipresence in the entire series and his voice.
** Out of the kids in Peppa's playgroup, Pedro Pony is the most hated. This is because of him being annoying, absent-minded, his voice, and the Baked Beans Song he sings in an episode further added to his hatedom.
** The Queen is also hated, due to being an offensive stereotype of Queen UsefulNotes/ElizabethII.
** Delphine Donkey and her family are hated by some people too, due to being offensive French stereotypes.
* SignatureScene: The queen's "In Memoriam" screen from ''Peppa Pig: World Adventures'' gained notoriety after the game released for being such a shocking tonal whiplash in a kid-friendly game.
* ToyShip:
** Because of the ''Platform/{{Roblox}}'' game ''VideoGame/{{Piggy}}'', which is based on the show, people have been shipping Pedro Pony and Zoe Zebra, even though they don't interact much on the show. In fact, Pedro and Peppa have more ShipTease.
** Aside from Pedro/Peppa, Danny/Suzy is a minor one.
* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: Many jokes have been made about Peppa's head looking like a hairblower. Or phallic. Alternatively [[CheatedAngle her eyes and mouth are drawn on the side of her head on both sides]], meaning that technically, she should have ''four'' eyes and ''two'' mouths.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Peppa's family owns a CRT TV and a computer that resembles one from the early-mid 2000s (the series released in 2004) and even after time passed on in real life, they kept the old TV and computer. Another thing to point out is the lack of cell phones in the show, with all the phones either being rotary, touch tone, or flip phones. This has become somewhat subverted in recent episodes, with Mummy Pig having a cell phone in "Little Swift", and Mummy Sheep using a more modern laptop in the Castle episode. However, the Pig family still has their old TV and computer.
* ValuesDissonance: A country-based example; this is why the two episodes related to Mister Skinnylegs were [[BannedInChina banned in Australia]]. While most parts of the world have spiders that are perfectly harmless, Australia is infamously home to some of the deadliest spiders in the world, so while teaching kids that spiders are nothing to be afraid of is a perfectly good [[AnAesop aesop]] elsewhere, teaching this lesson to kids in Australia is a disaster waiting to happen.
* WatchItForTheMeme: Let's face it, anyone [[PeripheryDemographic outside of the target demographic]] only watches the show for the [[Memes/PeppaPig memes]].
