Crying

George Cries His Eyes Out — A typical scene of George crying, from the episode "Hiccups"

“	waaa-haaaaaaa! eeeeeewwaaaaa! eeeeewaaauhwaaaa! Ihihihihe!	”
—George's crying sound

In "Peppa Pig", the toddler characters are seen crying whenever something has gone wrong or bad for them. This is usually seen as a running gag through the series, and George Pig is the most frequent character to cry in the series.

About[]

The animation effect toddlers and babies cry in the series makes the tears appear like a garden sprinkler or rain in the sky. This was referenced in the Series 8 episode "Clouds", when Peppa describes George as being like a "rain cloud".

In some instances, characters (So far, only George) may only make a whimper/sob sound.

Trivia[]

One of George's crying sounds was only used in Muddy Puddles, Mr Dinosaur is Lost, Piggy in the Middle, Hiccups, Flying a Kite, Frogs and Worms and Butterflies, and Snow, the last of which also had a low-pitched version of George's normal crying (also used in Flying a Kite and The School Fete).
- In Funfair, his cry was shortened, removing the "Eeaahaaglaaa!" part. This version went viral with someone's YouTube upload of the version of the crying sound.
- In the pilot episode, George's prototype cry sounds different. sounding more low-pitched and less toddler-like. This happened when Peppa popped George's balloon.
- George's lip trembling and crying is used in Garden Games, George's Balloon and Police Station.
- George's sniffle and Cry was only used in Jumble Sale, Pretend Friend and The Powercut.
- George’s normal crying was originally recorded with another one of his sounds, only used in Mr Dinosaur is Lost, Frogs and Worms and Butterflies, Snow, and Police Station, after the 3rd of which usually switched over to other versions.
- In the episode At the Beach, only George's 2nd part of his main cry plays.
- George's normal extended version debuted in Piggy in the Middle (which also featured a rare sob) (only done once for now).
  - George actually had two different sobs he alternated between. The first one (from Muddy Puddles) was originally recorded as a sob alone, as George did without crying in Mr Dinosaur is Lost, The Museum, Cleaning the Car, and a few more, the first of which also debuted his other sob, originally recorded as part of his low-pitched version of crying. The only difference is an extra "hu".
