If ever there was a poll that absolutely required a Jaron option, it is this one.

Everest! ...I'm slightly ashamed I actually did research for this as I've never seen the show and knew nothing about the characters.

Rocky. He and Zuma are criminally under used.

Rubble on the double!

My kids are thankfully well past the Paw Patrol phase, but I'm kind of surprised it's still going strong.  When my guys were little PP was just getting started.

It shows - Everest is not one of the main pups and only shows up occasionally.  She's the Pouchie of Paw Patrol. :P

Voted Firefighter Pup. Was torn between him and Cop Pup, but Cop Pup probably has used excessive force at some point.

Never watched this show, fwiw. My nephew still isn't in that phase.

You are just jealous I am cool with the kids!

I kind of miss the era when little kids actually watched TV so you knew what they were talking about and what they were interested in. Now my daughter just has her tablet and so when she finds something she is interested in I have to try to figure out what she is saying and then have to research it. And since little kids seem to love horror stuff so much these days my response is usually "what the fuck is this weird shit?"

I was out chaperoning my 11 year old sons choir class in the fall and they were taking internet quizzes about which Paw Patrol Pup they were and I was thinking "oh great when this generation finishes growing up we are going to have adult reboots like Barbie and Transformers about Paw Patrol aren't we?"

This poll was a joke. I was half curious to see if the languish rule of picture polls would apply to annoying cartoon dogs too  ;)

I've kept mine away from his own tablet so far and he isn't really confident using youtube himself...though with our aid he does get to watching some odd stuff.
A current favourite is some Japanese guy with 50 different Thomas toys, the sort that have a lever then move. He takes each of them, opens them up, puts a battery in, closes them again, and lets them go on a little round track he has built on a park table.
No narration. No special effects other than when they all appear at the very start. Just....

I had thought he would have escaped Paw Patrol but the influence of kids at nursery is working its magic on him. He also knows what Spiderman is despite never being exposed- zero interest in the cartoon itself. And Pacman thanks to an Oreo advertising board around the corner.


I must say I am jealous of this generation. Never will they have the horror I remember only two well of missing an episode of a show and never being able to see it ever again. Or at a later age cutting of my burgeoning football career because training was Monday night, which was Star Trek night.

My 4 years old niece is an absolute Paw Patrol fan.
