Whose Bigger Brat: D.W. or Caillou?

When it comes to animated characters that can be bratty, two stand out for their mischievous behavior. Peppa Pig, D.W., and Caillou each have their moments. In this article, we'll explore the characters in question and offer a comparison based on their brattiness, with a focus on how their actions affect their peers and the narrative of their shows.

Peppa Pig: The Bitchy Sister

While Peppa Pig is often portrayed as a mischievous and sometimes bossy figure, she is not consistently the brattiest. Peppa, however, has some notable moments where she doesn't shy away from making fun of her father, especially regarding his perceived overweight status. She also shows control and matures more in later seasons, making her behavior more tolerable. Nevertheless, Peppa's jokes on her father's weight can be seen as insensitive and hurtful.

D.W., the Annoying One

D.W., the younger sister in the Arthur series, is frequently depicted as a troublemaker. She does a lot of things that can easily hurt others or damage property. One of her worst offenses occurs in an episode where she throws away a model airplane that Arthur had built, despite being warned not to touch it. This action leads to Arthur getting mad and punching her, a consequence D.W. does not face fully, as the parents ultimately blame Arthur. D.W.'s behavior often ends up causing more harm than good, but she still manages to get away with her misdeeds much of the time.

Caillou: The Whiny Brother

Compared to D.W., Caillou takes the cake as the bigger brat. His whiny and frequently unprovoked tantrums make him a standout in terms of brattiness. Caillou's antics are often over the top, and his reaction to little things is disproportionate, leading to persistent crying and physical outbursts. For example, Caillou's episodes involving physical altercations with his sister Rosie, such as biting her, stand out as particularly egregious behavior. Unlike D.W., who occasionally faces consequences, Caillou often gets off scot-free.

Verdict: Caillou is the clear winner in terms of brattiness, with D.W. a close second.

Final Verdict

In conclusion, if we have to pick a bigger brat, the winner is undoubtedly Caillou. His frequent tantrums and physical altercations make him more problematic than D.W. While D.W. has moments where she gets away with her behavior, Caillou consistently behaves in an over-the-top and often hurtful manner, making him the brattier of the two.

Peppa Pig, while showing some brattiness, has a more balanced personality that matures well over time. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, we will conclude our comparison with Caillou being the bigger brat.
