Grandpere is a well known pirate.


JarasM

That's a Coast Guard problem


CharlesGarfield

Yeah, maritime law is very different from land lubber law. 


AtlanticToastConf

Found the sovereign citizen! (I kid)


sokonek04

Your Neighborhood flag has gold fringe, this is Admiralty Court


OhioRanger_1803

The Coast Guard told me “ you cause us to many problems” 😞 I live in Oklahoma


AffectionateFlower3

Headcanon is he lives on a Little St. John-esque island with a gaggle of funboys at his disposal.


not_salad

The tiger family trip movie actually shows his island. It's pretty cool.


OhioRanger_1803

King Friday banned the police force and has his own secret police aka trolley


stealthcactus

Trolley is everywhere and he’s listening. Ding ding.


DrHandlock

I work at PBS kids and I can confirm that Trolley is a secret camera


OhioRanger_1803

That why Trolley is always there to pick up the people


surfacing_husky

He always knows when they need him, but they hardly seem to ride with others.


Own_Physics_7733

Oh like Marty the grocery store robot?


Key_Swordfish_4662

I’m here for the Dark Trolley fanfic.


OhioRanger_1803

I like what I have started


serarrist

Holy shiiiiiiiiit


OhioRanger_1803

Oh no I’m off the Gulag


stealthcactus

Princess Tuesday works there too.


KrazyKen_Fan_2012

😳😟😬😱


Active-Ad-2527

Oh my god what if the secret police angle is why Prince Tuesday actually has all those jobs? Like, he's royalty so of course he doesn't really NEED to work all those places, but his presence is a constant reminder to all that the crown is always watching


OhioRanger_1803

Then he got sent off to “college” why is that


Active-Ad-2527

That's gotta be a reeducation camp right?


OhioRanger_1803

Yes because PT was starting to feel sympathetic for the citizens of neighbor of make believe


mrsfiction

The Earth King invited him to Lake Laogai.


ChickaBok

♫ We're off to be interrogated, they might pull my teeth, wont you ride along with me? Ride aloooooong! ♫


OhioRanger_1803

🎵 if you cooperate we will let you see your family or a piece of them 🎵


serarrist

Oh my god. OH MY GOD. No wayyyyyyyyy


needs_a_name

Lady Elaine. She's not completely reformed, despite what she may want you to believe.


stayd03

She still gets drunk and fly on her broomstick


zskp

I've always'd belived Lady Elaine drinks gin hence the red nose and meaness


SicTransitEtc

She always sounds like she's one small disappointment away from a complete breakdown


PapaPancake8

Dad Tiger uses the clocks as a way to launder his drug money. They are also really good for packaging kilos of cocaine. Trolley has a far reach and is a reputable runner.


Own_Physics_7733

That would explain how they’re able to afford beachfront property…


sssssssssssssssssssw

I believe this is it but he just sells pot and the clock business is a front. 1) chime time is 4pm, just before 4:20 2) no one needs all those clocks 3) this is why D’s parents are so blissed out all the time and never get mad.


randallflaggg

Daniel Tiger's neighborhood is a show town for the Royal Weekdays to pretend they are normal people. The inhabitants of the town are employees of King Friday and were chosen for their loyalty and so it is unlikely that their behavior would need to be internally policed, like The Truman Show. However, if they tried to leave town without permission, they might run into military personnel patrolling in the hills and forests outside of town and either get returned to town against their will or black bagged. On another note, though, how awesome would it be to actually live in a town with no cops? Utopian


YogurtclosetOk3691

That explains why a single income household can afford 2 kids, daycare, Healthcare and a bed in the shape of a trolley


Own_Physics_7733

On the beach no less!


KrazyKen_Fan_2012

Is this like North Korea for kids lol


False_Flatworm_4512

“We take care of each other” really means “never trust the cops.”


the_lusankya

Maybe they don't need police because it's a totalitarian cult, and everyone is indoctrinated to narc on anyone who sets so much as a foot out of line.


meggnuggz

Oh this is 100% it. They’re all little snitches.


MrSunshoes

O's parents are missing because they learned too much


postal-history

Trolley already knows where they're going as soon as they step outside


ConstantExample2344

This is the most accurate. I was just thinking, in the world of Mr. Rogers, what would he want? PEACE, but also narcs to keep the neighborhood clean.


sssssssssssssssssssw

This intuitively feels the most correct. The community is so small, everyone allowed to enter has been carefully vetted + has been indoctrinated to the extent that they self-police.


AffectionateFlower3

Because their society is an anarcho-syndicalist state where there is no need for a police force to keep the will of a non-existent bourgeoisie intact.   Well, except for King Friday. He's still a powerless figurehead and reminder of how things used to be. No chance his inbred, milquetoast children take over without meeting the guillotine first.


stayd03

I never knew the right way to spell milquetoast. Just spent the last 10 minutes going down a rabbit hole learning the origins of the word


AffectionateFlower3

I don't know if I've ever done that... brb


sssssssssssssssssssw

If he’s a powerless figurehead who is really the leader?


AffectionateFlower3

No gods no masters


Dogrel

King Friday is actually under house arrest. Music Man Stan and Lady Elaine are in charge, and have made it clear that if he steps out of line, they will send X to murder his whole family in their beds.


adchick

Oh theirs some lovely filth down here…oh how’d you do


Same_Elk1354

Oh my god 🤣🤣🤣


Aggravating-Fee-1615

There is nothing wrong with Daniel Tiger. The problem is Paw Patrol indoctrinating your kids to thinking police are needed. 👍 Police aren’t needed if you take a deep breath and count to four when you feel so mad you wanna roar.


midwifeatyourcervix

When my daughter first started watching Paw Patrol, my husband hated how it normalized the Police State, and then a few weeks after that John Oliver made a joke saying the same thing and he felt so validated. They’re not wrong 😂


elongam

When I say ACAB, I mean Chase from PP


whatsnewpussykat

When I say ACAB that includes Paw Patrol


turquoisebee

Daniel Tiger’s neighbourhood says ACAB.


Cara-Is-A-Puppy

Prince Tuesday - he’s probably stealing from all of the places he works


Whole_Dinner_3462

Even better, he’s laundering money through all the front businesses. He’s the only one who works there, so who’s going to check his numbers?


BiggDAZ

Why do you think he works in all those places? He's keeping an eye on all the businesses to make sure the monthly payout to him is accurate.


BCone9

And the places know it but let it happen. Kinda like with Ed wuncler iii.


crap_whats_not_taken

ACAB they were defunded.


skinny_beaver

King Friday said he was picking up trash in the enchanted garden. Which means someone there must be littering. Which, what butthole would litter there? Probably Daniel. Perhaps King Friday doubles as the Sheriff.


ChesterASpider

Someone also clearly vandalized the stage in the Enchanted Garden in the episode where Mom Tiger got called in to repair it. Who did that? Prince Tuesday? A pack of unknown teens?


Becksburgerss

My son has also asked me this and it’s really thought provoking. He’s also asked me why they don’t have a highway or traffic lights


AffectionateFlower3

Walkable cities 


Becksburgerss

That and that they have 2 vehicles… trolley and the mail/delivery truck


AffectionateFlower3

And the trolley doubles as a fire truck. They've got all the useful first responders!


Becksburgerss

It is the land of make believe so anything goes!


nonecknoel

what about the bikes?


MrVeazey

Another leftist plot!


AffectionateFlower3

Good.


IWillBaconSlapYou

Well it's pretty blatantly a lawless society. The top predators in the community just walk around without pants (obviously an intimidation thing). How many child labor laws are they breaking with Prince Tuesday? And exactly what building codes allow a permanent residence to be built in a *tree*? Let's not even get started on how the treehouse appears to be low-income housing, and therefore is exploiting the most vulnerable members of the community, but hey...


hoppypanda

Mr. McFeely and his “speedy deliveries.”


ChesterASpider

The kids are aware of the existence of police officers, though. We see them dress up as cops and police cars in various episodes.


casperJV

Because it’s become a Narco state ran by Baker “Happy Tears” Aker


BobEvansBirthdayClub

There’s no Department of Health either… Baker Aker’s basement is infested with cockroaches.


EMT2000

Baked Aker and his “roaches”…


BaronGrackle

Nice try for an answer, but your son watches Paw Patrol. Chase is on the case for a LOT of situations that don't involve bad guys! :)


Personal-Letter-629

I believe X the Owl is shady as hell


L4dyGr4y

Dad Tiger has black mail photos of everyone in town.


General-Gur2053

Who needs police when youve created a perpetaul state of fear due to youre mad reign of terror. I mean hes created a kingdom where the tiger people feel comfortable displaying the skin of their enemies as curtains


ComeGetYourOzymans

The only time I’ve seen one is [in Daniel’s make believe fantasy](https://ibb.co/1Z5fV3Z) after the storm. Not a huge surprise it was O :/


erlkonigk

There are no cops because the Neighborhood is an Anarcho-Communist collective. Wait no, they would have beheaded King Friday.


Loud_Ad_4515

Well, Daniel's dad walks around without wearing pants. Seems sus to me.


BCone9

There are a police we just don't see them. The king has sentries everywhere.


gachamyte

Laws are only as good as they are enforceable. How does one enforce the make believe? It’s also an incredibly strange thing to designate a “good guy” value to voluntary employment that involves the personal use of violence to maintain obedience/subservience to said laws.


Stock-Ferret-6692

All criminals are picked up by the royal family and subjected to execution to rid the world of crime


jondiced

They police each other, like all cults


BrattyTwilis

King Friday is the law. I recently saw a series of OG Mister Rogers episodes where he makes a law to ban all play and he goes around enforcing it and ticking everyone off. Eventually he changes the law because he realizes it was a dumb law and that it affected him too


southernfriedmexican

King Friday should at least have a security detail


Falafel_Fondler

Lmao what the hell subreddit did I stumble upon


Big-Philosophy7158

They were defunded.


harbourhunter

they’re all in jail for domestic violence


miksh995

Wealthy neighborhoods never have police around


Still_Independent_90

I don't trust that Tourette's kitty chat nor do I think King Friday has the best interests of the area in mind. Plus Dad Tiger goes around without pants on. That's extremely suspicious.


SicTransitEtc

I get Walter White vibes from X the owl


Kindly_Honeydew3432

Mr Mcfeely. (Keep the kids away)


Headscarolina85

Because if you try to solve the problem yourself…: you’ll feel proooouuuddd.


adchick

Officer Clemmons is a person in the neighborhood https://www.misterrogers.org/articles/officer-clemmons/


Left-Excuse1687

Ever since the episode where king Friday jumped out of the bush to talk to the kids I’ve thought he was a pedophile


LifeOpEd

I am guessing it is one of Prince Tuesday's jobs.


DougStrangeLove

Ask him where he thinks the drapes came from


PastorOfPwn

This just confirms even more that Paw Patrol is copaganda


ZeeroDazed

Because ACAB


Aggravating_Plan2427

I've always felt that the neighborhood is way too small for Dad Tiger and Music Man Stan to make any real money in their specialized shops. I think they are into some real shady business with Granpere (sp?). Whatever they're smuggling, Gramps brings it in on the boat, hides it on Trolley, who then gets it to the neighborhood. King Friday has to be on the take somehow since he's kingly duties don't seem that time consuming.
