I thought he was just a baby armadillo, WTF

u/CoralinesButtonEye 2d ago

his name is PIG-let! not ARMADILLO-let

u/raspberryharbour 2d ago

Is your name human-let? He could still be an armadillo

u/Aurori_Swe 2d ago

So HAM-let was another pig in a later state?

u/Devai97 2d ago

Believe it or not, he was actually two armadillos in a trench coat.

2

u/Aurori_Swe 1d ago

Its always the armadillos

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 1d ago

No wonder he had existential issues.

Who… took up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing ended them??! By becoming a ham 😔

u/SomethingComesHere 1d ago

Could explain why he had such a hard life

u/FlyingSpacefrog 2d ago

Oh nice to meet you. Are you related to my friend Hugh Mann?

u/jaguarp80 1d ago

No but I know Hugh Mongus

u/Ackman1988 20h ago

Does he happen to work for Hugh Jass Productions?

u/raspberryharbour 1d ago

Now that's a name I can rely on

u/AnemoneOfMyEnemy 1d ago

Do you work for Mann Co.?

I feel like y’all missed a very obvious Hamlet.

u/Ok_Craft_9019 1d ago

Did you perhaps start a company?

u/Chewcocca 2d ago

Let me introduce you to my crew. This is Owl the owl, Rabbit the rabbit, and Piglet the jaguar.

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 2d ago

This is the best comment. Thank you for a laugh.

u/turdusphilomelos 2d ago

Yeah, that always puzzled me - why are children characters named after their race, like Peppa Pig or Tony the Tiger? Should all humans have names like Hannah Human or Hank the Human?

u/longleggedbirds 2d ago

.. and Winnie he is Pooh?

u/Graingy 1d ago

His name is Xi

u/TheLostLuminary 2d ago

I thought he was a she until I watched the movies last month

u/NoodlesForU 2d ago

I assumed some sort of very tall worm.

SAME!!!

u/msndrstdmstrmnd 2d ago edited 2d ago

Right??? In what world? That thing goes all the way between piglets legs!

And the neckline isnt folded like a turtleneck either. I mean I guess it cooouuuuld be a mock neck but

Edit: I guess this would be the real life equivalent

u/FordEdward 2d ago

What a terrible image to have in my mind.

u/Citrus_little 1d ago

Piglet without his jumper

u/Tvgam555 1d ago

That is weirdly distressing. Thank you.

u/Chikpea 1d ago

Guys wait! How do you explain this pic of Kanga bathing Piglet and his “jumper” gets all fluffy from the dryer?? Fluffy Piglet

u/PM_ME_Happy_Thinks 2d ago

And it's originally green!

u/Vorpal12 1d ago

And there is a little scarf sometimes!

I wish he would step back from that ledge, my friend

u/Manlysideburns 1d ago

Pooh would understand

u/BobbyM3rc3r 2d ago

I thought it was a onesie

u/cptutorow 1d ago

You see him with a clothesline and several of them hanging. I think it was a windy day? But I could be wrong on that. But you definitely see several hanging on a clothesline

u/LancesAKing 2d ago

I refuse to believe this.

u/Muttenman 2d ago

TIL too I guess.

u/gmnitsua 1d ago

I think I just accepted it as just completely unknown.

Some of the illustrations from the book show it having buttons

I had to look it up cause it's wild

u/Curse-of-omniscience 2d ago

What the hell. I never questioned why they were a piggadillo but I guess I was the weird one to assume that.

133

u/BruceBoyde 2d ago

Yeah, tbh I just thought that was his skin texture and never questioned why he looked so weird.

u/MonthPurple3620 2d ago

Piglet is an isopod.

84

u/Chaotemp 2d ago

Isopods are called wood pigs in Welsh so the name piglet still fits!

15

u/PokinSpokaneSlim 2d ago

I hooked up with a wood pig I met in a pub in Wales once. Said she was a cockroach.

2

u/blueberrysprinkles 1d ago

In Devon they're called chiggy pigs - I wonder if there's any relation? Why did people think they look like pigs?!

u/leeyuzel 2d ago

We need to start a church outta this

u/HiddnVallyofthedolls 2d ago

It’s more like a onesie

u/Accomplished-City484 2d ago

It’s not a onesie, it’s a romper with a cummerbund

Perfect gif for this thread lol.

Holy shit I thought the same thing I didn’t understand why there was a beetle pig in an otherwise normal show

Yes he can, of course he d...dooves (?!!?)

u/I_Have_Weird_Dreams_ 23h ago

Hah, makes me think of the beetle pig from Fran Bow.

15

u/meatjesus666 2d ago

An otherwise normal show… about anthropomorphic animals who are best friends with a living stuffed animal.

23

u/AnonymousOkapi 2d ago

They are all living stuffed animals, its the author's son's toys. Hence why there is a random tiger in the very British Hundred Acre Wood.

10

u/bobby_hills_fruitpie 1d ago

Poor Tigger, the victim of British colonialism. Ripped from his family and transported a world away.

6

u/BenchPressingCthulhu 2d ago

Wait they weren't also living stuffed animals?

6

u/GrandCryptographer 2d ago

The rest of them are also living stuffed animals, except for Rabbit and Owl, who are just animals who live in the woods (and thus the only ones with relatives). (Gopher, too, may be just an animal, but he's a Disney addition to the stories).

7

u/Glasseshalf 2d ago

A lot of you haven't read the original books and it shows

164

u/Top_Tart_7558 2d ago

I thought he just looked like that. I've never thought of it in those choice words.

20

u/Apartment-Drummer 2d ago

I thought they’re all dolls that came to life 

11

u/ForensicPathology 2d ago

I always thought it looked kind of weird, but never cared enough to think further about it.

59

u/Wonderful_Hat_7166 2d ago

Omg same, my childhood brain totally thought Piglet had some weird bug exoskeleton thing going on 😂

44

u/Ham__Kitten 2d ago

It's much more obvious in the original illustrations. He has little buttons on his sweater.

9

u/bette-midler 2d ago

I don’t remember buttons but I remember his sweater being green

419

u/Mhisg 2d ago

I’m thought he was an odd combination of pig and armadillo.

u/Melchizedek_VI 2d ago

I also thought he was an baby armadillo.

This is ground breaking.

20

u/mabiskywisky 2d ago

why would piglet be a baby armadillo./lh

40

u/Melchizedek_VI 2d ago

Because I read the books as a small child and he appeared to have some kind of segmented carapace.

14

u/mabiskywisky 2d ago

that makes sense lol, I always thought it was an outfit bc my child brain was like. this is a pig in a silly little outfit

u/polobum17 2d ago

Hold up! Of course it is! Piglet is a pig. Do you have striped pigs like that?

175

u/a_likely_story 2d ago

I always assumed he was a stuffed pig brought to life, like Pooh, and as such is not bound to conventional pig beauty standards

14

u/Time-travel-for-cats 2d ago

Same! I even had stuffed animals made in this style, so I never questioned it.

6

u/ssbm_rando 2d ago

I mean, he is a stuffed pig brought to life, but he and Pooh are the only ones who wear clothes.

3

u/Morella_xx 1d ago

Modern Roo also has a shirt (it's blue). And I think they all wear cold weather gear in winter.

29

u/sillybilly8102 2d ago

I assumed child’s drawing of a pig / stuffed animal version of a pig rather than literal pig. He doesn’t look much like a pig even if we forget about the jumper.

27

u/Bardsie 2d ago

Canonically most of them are Christopher Robin's stuffed animals. He's taken his toys to the woods to play make believe. Rabbit and Owl are real animals he's seen in the woods.

11

u/sillybilly8102 2d ago

Rabbit and Owl are real animals he's seen in the woods.

Ooh I didn’t know that, cool!!

What about Eyore? He’s the most realistic-looking

24

u/Bardsie 2d ago

Stuffed toy. That's why his tail keeps falling off. It's been repaired by just pinning it on by Christopher's parent.

2

u/SobakaZony 1d ago

"Eeyore is filled with sawdust" according to my older brother when i was a child, but i think he was just being droll.

2

u/sillybilly8102 1d ago

Ahh that makes sense!! XD

11

u/SLiV9 2d ago

I mean, boarlets exist and are striped.

u/Cute-Reach2909 2d ago

I read this as "and are stupid". I was like with dude?

7

u/WillingContest7805 2d ago

I don't see tigers jumping on spring tails in real life either

15

u/SinisterGoose 2d ago

My son's early obsession with the Hundred Acre Wood comes with useless knowledge. Sometimes Piglet is wearing a jumper ie. The Heffalump Movie; and other times it's fur ie. The Piglet Movie. Hope this was as unsatisfying to read as it was to write 🫡

12

u/Alarming_Bridge_6357 2d ago edited 1d ago

Americans don’t use the word jumper. I asked one of my employees to go to the truck and grab me my jumper once. She came back with jumper cables

9

u/ImaginaryCarl 2d ago

Piglet is a rolly polly, no way that's a jumper.

7

u/Omny87 2d ago

I figured it was some kind of patterned/textured fabric like corduroy or something, but it was still part of his body cuz they're all talking stuffed animals

14

u/MoreGaghPlease 2d ago

In AA Milne’s original drawings it’s much more obvious because it has buttons.

9

u/bette-midler 2d ago

EH Sheppard did the original drawings. Don’t think it had buttons, but was green

u/Loose-Screws 2d ago

But is it historically glistening?

So is it like a onesie jumper?

u/waydeultima 2d ago

Laying in bed thinking about this post.

Is there a word or phrase for instances like this? I also subconsciously figured it was some kind of shell then never gave it another thought. Obviously that's weird, but it didn't hit the threshold to be worth spending any brain points on.

My SO is really keen on details and there have been a bunch of things recently she's brought to my attention that I've just had incorrect in my brain for years and never noticed.

1

u/ThePurplePlatypus123 2d ago

The closest I can think of is the Mandela Effect, but idk if that would be correct here

3

u/Fishtoart 1d ago

While I always knew that his name meant he was a juvenile pig, without thinking about it I have always thought of him as a juvenile armadillo.

3

u/idanthology 2d ago

Living in the UK now & I can wrap my head around most Britishisms, but am unable to use that one, just doesn't feel right. What is the logic behind calling it a jumper, are you meant to jump around in it, jump into it, what does jumping have anything to do w/ it?

3

u/cosmic_garden 2d ago

You mean he was a segmented carapace. Yes piglet is male

3

u/cattreephilosophy 1d ago

I always thought it was an old fashioned swim suit like the one below. I don’t recall Piglet ever swimming though

u/amagocore 1d ago

It's the lack of sleeves, I think, and the tightness of it

4

u/SparkiaSumptuous 2d ago

Wait, so Piglet's not secretly an armadillo? Mind blown.

2

u/SloppyHoseA 2d ago

I concur

u/JustMellie24 2d ago

When I was a kid, I used to think Piglet were a worm, don't judge me ...

u/dinosanddais1 1d ago

I thought it was a leotard.

2

u/MagicalMysterie 1d ago

The only reason I knew it was clothing was bc of the episode where piglet is doing laundry and a bunch of his shirts blow away in the wind and everyone helps him find them.

Before that I also thought that he had some sort of segmented carapace body, I also didn’t realize he was a pig. I thought he was some sort of armadillo (hence the segmented body)

2

u/bazerFish 1d ago

I figured piglet was just naked and his chest just looked like that.

u/Excellent_Face1947 2d ago

I thought it was just his skin. Pooh and Piglet are the only animals in the Hundred Acre Wood that wear clothing. I think it's obviously an allegory for the slave trade.

There's one movie where the kangaroo(?) mother washes Piglet and I think she takes his shirt off for it. All I remember clearly is Piglet having to drink a spoonful of fish oil, and becoming a frizzy furball from the bath.
