How many jobs does Miss Rabbit do and is she any good at them?
My three year old, like most, is obsessed with Peppa Pig. If you’re not familiar with the cartoon, it’s an animated show for toddlers with enough observational humour and sharp wit for adults to watch alongside. My personal favourites are the interactions between Daddy Pig and Mr. Wolf, “And what’s your house made of Daddy Pig?” However one of the most outstanding curiosities and long running in-jokes of the show is the character Miss Rabbit who performs almost every job.
If you want to go straight her resume it’s in an episode by episode, series by series list below. But here is the overview of her wide range of skills - although calling them skills is a bit of an overstatement as she frequently admits she doesn’t really know what she’s doing.
Her list of jobs covers everything from face painting at a fete to running and operating shops and stalls in museums, aquariums and parks. She is a dental nurse, a crane operator; a taxi, train and bus driver, a helicopter pilot and a scuba diver. She works frequently up to 3 different jobs in a single episode, selling goods in the aquarium gift shop while still dripping wet from cleaning the tanks. Her most frequent jobs type is driver or shop assistant in every kind of shop, park or museum the cartoon has to offer.
However it is a matter of quantity over quality. When Peppa Pig and family are flying on holidays the captain announces “we are now landing in Italy.” Miss Rabbit exclaims “oooh, that sounds nice”. She is the air steward on the plane. Thankfully not the pilot.
When giving Peppa Pig’s family a hot air balloon ride Daddy Pig exclaims “This is our first ride in a hot air balloon”. She replies, “mine too” before crashing into a tall tree.
And as for the glitter jokes… I’ll let you discover them yourself. It’s a highly recommended cartoon with soul that is worth watching over other merchandised driven junk out there. I’m looking at you My Little Pony!
