2018年最火的网红是谁?非“社会人”小猪佩奇莫属!
小猪佩奇是英国学前电视动画片《小猪佩奇》(Peppa Pig)中的卡通人物,这部动画于2004年首播,在全球180个地区播放。每集约5分钟的短故事幽默有趣,故事情节生动,有教育意义,深受全球各地小朋友及家长的喜爱。
但令人万万没想到的是,这只长得像吹风机的粉红猪在诞生的第15个年头突然在中国走红,摇身一变成为“社会一姐”。
Since last summer, the young pig has become the topic of countless memes, jokes, and short videos — especially since she was jokingly cast as a shehuiren, a slang term for a gangster.
自去年夏天以来,这只小猪已经成为无数表情包、段子和短视频的主题,尤其是她被戏称为“社会人”以后。
佩奇到底有多火?让数据来说话:
On viral short video platform Douyin, more than 30,000 videos appear under the Peppa Pig hashtag. The series is rated an astronomical 9.2 on review platform Douban, and its fifth season, released last October, has been viewed over 14 billion times on video platform Youku. Peppa Pig theme parks are even slated to open in Beijing and Shanghai next year — just in time for the Year of the Pig in 2019.
短视频平台抖音上#小猪佩奇#话题下的视频超过3万个。该系列动画在评论网站豆瓣上获得9.2分的高分。去年10月播出的第五季在视频平台优酷上的点击量超过140亿。小猪佩奇主题公园定于2019年在北京和上海开放,而明年刚好是猪年。
佩奇是如何成为“社会人”的?
近年来,譬如“社会摇”之类带有“社会气质”的视频内容在快手、抖音上十分流行,而拥有这种特质的人被统称为“社会人”。那么,一个卡通人物为什么会和“社会人”联系在一起呢?这还得从头说起。
《小猪佩奇》虽然是一部儿童学前动画片,但不少网友发现,片子的成人色彩浓郁,卡通人物处事手段之成熟甚至令“社会人”都自叹不如。网友的热议、“成人化”解读和二次创作使得小猪佩奇在国内迅速走红。
伴随着动画片的热播,先是“猪猪女孩”系列表情包刷了一波流量。
随后,《小猪佩奇》方言版恶搞视频占领了B站鬼畜区,多个视频播放量超过百万。
In November, a fan-made Peppa Pig video dubbed in Chongqing dialect became an instant hit on video-sharing platform Bilibili, leading it to becoming dubbed in more than 15 other Chinese tongues, including Shanghainese, Sichuanese, and the northeastern accent.
去年11月,一个重庆方言版的《小猪佩奇》饭制视频在视频分享平台Bilibili上迅速爆红,随后又出现了上海话、四川话以及东北话等超过15种方言配音版的饭制视频。

紧接着,揶揄小猪佩奇是“社会人”的段子也开始在社交媒体上热传。其中,最为网友熟知的便是这句——“小猪佩奇身上纹,掌声送给社会人!”(Get your Peppa Pig tatt, shout out to your frat!)
去年年底,一则将小猪佩奇画在身上的短视频让这只粉红猪在快手、抖音走红,这个举动竟然引起无数网友争相模仿。许多网友在平台上晒出自己的小猪佩奇纹身贴。

不过,有些粉丝还真把佩奇纹到了身上……

然而,也有粉丝的纹身是货真价实的。据媒体本月初报道,越来越多顾客要求纹身工作室给他们做真的佩奇纹身。一位顾客甚至花1万元在整个背上纹了小粉猪。

英国bt.com网站曾总结过小猪佩奇受成年人欢迎的原因,看看你是不是也有相同的感受呢?
❶ 猪爸承包笑点
The butt of nearly all the jokes on the show, his cheery demeanor and unshakable confidence in his ability to take on any challenge despite his size and age is a source of many subtle – and some not so subtle - jokes for parents.
猪爸爸几乎承包了所有的笑点,他活泼的举止,丝毫不顾及自己的年龄和体型,对于任何挑战都充满毫不动摇的信心,对家长来说都是笑料。
❷ 有用的人生经验教训
Don’t be fooled by her cheeky smile and bright colours. Peppa Pig isn’t just entertainment for young children. Peppa Pig packs in useful life lessons for youngsters that parents will forever be grateful. From how to deal with falling out with best friends to a first trip to the dentist, parents have found Peppa a useful ally in tricky situations.
不要被小猪纯真的笑容以及明亮的颜色蒙骗。《小猪佩奇》可不仅仅是给小孩子们娱乐用的。《小猪佩奇》教给孩子们的有益人生经验教训,父母们会很感激的。从和朋友闹别扭到第一次去看牙医,父母们会发现在处理孩子们的棘手问题时,佩奇都是好帮手。
❸ 展现真实生活
Peppa falls out her friends, her baby brother George often cries, Daddy pig constantly gets things wrong and the family trips and adventures never run smoothly.
小猪佩奇跟朋友闹翻,她弟弟总是爱哭,猪爸爸会把事情搞砸,而家庭出游永远不顺利。
The show is a relief for all parents who fear that they are the only ones who can’t organize a sensible family holiday. The show’s honesty is a refreshing antidote to the everyday pressures of parenting.
对于那些害怕不能组织一场棒棒的家庭假日游的父母来说,看了这部动画你会宽心很多:毕竟你不是一个人如此!《小猪佩奇》中所展现的真实,对于父母日常育儿压力而言,是一剂解压良药。
❹ 兄弟姐妹一起长大的快乐与烦恼
Any parent with more than one child will be aware of the potential problems that brings – arguments, jealousy, fighting.
当家里不止一个孩子的时候,爸妈可能会遇到这些潜在问题:争吵、嫉妒、打架。
Peppa Pig doesn’t pretend it’s all a bed of roses – Peppa often makes her baby brother George cry – but any young boys or girls about to become older siblings could learn a lot from the pig siblings.
《小猪佩奇》并没有营造完全美好的景象。佩奇经常把猪弟弟乔治弄哭,但是对于那些要当哥哥姐姐的人来说,他们都可以从小猪佩奇姐弟身上学到不少东西。
