do you mean *THEELK? is it a spelling mistake?
I definitely agree with you it's just not made for kids
I just teared up just watching your video. This show is so wholesome
I'm a 44 year old father of two little girls, and this "kids" show hits me harder emotionally than any other show I watch. Not just any other kids show, any other show, period. Sleepy Time made me openly cry as it is the most beautiful metaphor for kids' gradual movement towards independence and parents' unconditional ever-present love I have ever seen animated. How they do this in these little 8 minute segments is nothing short of absolute genius. This is the best "kids" show to hit TV in decades.
I had a pretty awful childhood. This show gives me hope that maybe there are good parents out there. Truly incredible
I hope your doing well
Stay strong but don’t be afraid to go after the things you like or watch what you wanna watch no one dictates your decisions for you. Focus on the good parts of life the bad parts serve to bring your downfall if you look at it in certain ways
This, THIS show, is exactly how a kids' show should be made. It treats kids as smart, capable-of-understanding people, and it has jokes witty enough to be funny for both parents and children, prefect for watching in family. Peppa Pig should take notes
That’s how I felt about Kipo and the Wonderbeasts on Netflix, no one really talked about it though
100% agree. I hate shows that talk down to kids.
@@EntertainTheElk agreed
@@mikeroni seconded, kipo was wonderful
@@EntertainTheElk do victor and valentino.
what i love is chilli's inflection when she says "that was a long time ago"
her voice cracks as she finishes her sentence, and it just hits a perfect note of longing
This show has a soft place in my heart. The episode Army broke me to tears because I was a child who had adhd, but didn’t know. For the longest time I truly believed something was wrong with me.. but I learned it wasn’t my fault. Nothing was wrong. And this show validated how I felt, and also reminded me that even back then I was capable to doing things regardless of my set backs. I just had always focused on the negatives for so long.
I have a little brother, and he's been really into Bluey for the past month, and I have to say, this show is probably the best family show out right now. It's profound yet pedestrian and shows the joys of day-to-day domestic life. As a young adult it has helped me re-learn how to have a closer relationship with my sibling, and I appreciate that so so much.
I can't even hear anyone talk about the bird episode without crying. Childhood grief is such a delicate topic and they handle it with such grace and love.
Love watching this show with my 5 year old. My one gripe (but not really)- Bandit sets some really high standards for fatherhood, he always gives me ideas for being a better dad.
Yeah, sometimes the parents can seem impossibly perfect. Same with their beautiful house.
@@EntertainTheElk Fun fact: a local newspaper here in Brisbane (where Bluey is both set, and made) worked out roughly what suburb they live in. From that they then extrapolated the value of their house. The house, which is in the style of a "Queenslander" - a very popular classic home style - combined with location which is in one of the more popular suburbs not quite in the inner city but still very close, with excellent views of both the CBD (downtown) and the river, was estimated to have a market value of around **5 million dollars.**
Thing that’s worth mentioning is that you only really see Bandit Or Chilli being these amazing parents and Bluey and Bingo being receptive for 7 minutes at most, we have to assume that it isn’t always like that, and I feel like Brumm and co might touch on that at some point.
So I f you, as a father yourself, can be as ‘good’ as Bandit for 7 minutes, you’re doing as well as him.
@@CJTheReal god I always see that and yeah, fancy reno’ed queenslander in Paddington WOULD be that much, but I think it can be extrapolated out that it was Bandit’s parents’ house (his childhood home) and if that is true it’s much more reasonable for them to have inherited it, or at most have purchased it when Inner city Brisbane real estate wasn’t astronomically overvalued.
I've been compared to Bandit, but don't feel like it. I'm sure you do wonderfully mate.
One thing I like about Bluey is how they have the imagination be more realistic.
What about it is that other shows transport you into an imagination world. In Bluey it only opens the door for you and you have to actively walk in to be immersed. It actively welcomes you to reuse the child like purity of imagination at it's core.
@@cloudshifter
Those are fun to watch, but I find the ones in Bluey charming.
@@luvblueybingoheeler3150 Taxi is such a great episode on how to make fun comedy movies.
In Australia Bluey has just sorta been accepted as the best kids show of the last decade, I'm 21 and I watched some with my best mate recently and we both cried at the end of every episode
Although I’m not a parent, I’m practically raising my siblings, so I really resonate with the parents in Bluey. I’m embarrassed because so many episodes of Bluey genuinely mad me cry. I used to be one of those people who were like, “I never cry to movies”. Bluey forever has a place in my heart 🥲
As an Aussie this show captures Australian life and childhood so well. I’m so glad that some Aussie television is getting national recognition and it deserves it!!
Christ, just you describing flat pack made me cry. This show sounds wonderful, I'm really happy to hear children programming is still turning out bangers
And because of that, I'm excited what awaits for my life to bring...this brings me closure because I was really afraid of dying at an old age, but as I'm writing this, I'm going to live life as it is and the cycle continues
It’s amazing that Bluey is able to entertain both adults and kids alike. No other shows are really able to encapsulate that. Kids will like it for the cute dogs and vibrant colours, and adults will resonate with the stories and messages.
Sleepy time made me cry too! I'm not a parent, but as someone who's worked with kids from 3 mo - 12 years old, I really love how this show is accessible to all ages.
It also speaks to teenagers. I'm 15, and I love this show. Also, yes, Sleepytime is my favorite episode. It just makes me want to cry every time I see it (I don't cry, so that's why I want to cry).
I love how unashamedly Aussie it is while still being universal in its depictions of learning about the world and parenthood through play.
It's like how the best songwriters can tell their life stories through music and sound like they're speaking directly to you.
I found Bluey a couple of months ago through UA-cam, and I've been obsessed ever since. I'm not a parent yet, but I'd like to be one day. And this show is like the best parenting handbook I've ever seen. All the storylines are so relatable and entertaining to watch as a 24 year old guy.
I've explained Flatpack similarly to people who've not seen Bluey before, and I get a lot of doubt in return. One of the best pieces of TV, not just children's TV, ever made.
This show has done a lot to nurse the inner kid in me. Always good for a laugh when I need it.
I had heard of Bluey before but I stumbled into my cousins watching Sleepytime and was enraptured. I already loved Holst's Jupiter but I couldn't look away from the screen and it made me cry.
All of my younger cousins asked why I was so enamoured and I didn't have the words to express it at the time so I just said I loved the song. But it was much more than that.
I’m so glad my niece has been watching Bluey for over a year/two years so that I knew about it! It reminds me a lot of the great kids’ shows I grew up with (like Arthur, Dragon Tales, a myriad of other PBS shows, and more I just can’t think of atm). I also like the exposure to different accents/vocabulary for kids; it’s a great learning experience for them!
Edit: I do have to admit I 100% thought Bluey was a boy at first when I saw a few episodes here and there. 😂
Love this show for this reason specifically. It has a sense of realism (as much realism as you can get from talking dogs) and it teaches kids that you can be creative with the things you have around you, including your parents into your games, the fact that some episodes, the parents do not want to play the game, being annoyed by certain games, there is so much to this show. Thanks for this video.
holy crap yes! i love how this video covers what bluey as a show has to offer. like how it isn't a show only enjoyed by children, but by all!
bluey is amazing, for real life.
I wish this would also air on Nick Jr.
That channel is the most famous one here in my country when there are kids in the house (because of shows Paw Patrol, Adventures of Paddington, Blaze and the Monster Machine, Deer Squad). And oftentimes, adults would sit and watch too.
I truly wish Bluey would air on our tv channels too.
I know there's a ton to talk about with this show, but one thing you didn't get to mention was "Bin Night" which might be my favorite. It shows the family taking the garbage out, every week over the course of several weeks. There are just so many easter eggs and little plots they develop over this episode, from Bingo learning to deal with a bully, to Bluey getting her yellow belt, to them realizing that the phases of the moon correlate to the every-other-week recycling day, to the way the garbage they throw away correlates with the type of week they've had. I notice something new every time!
I gave the show a watch a little while ago from writing this because I needed something completely wholesome and not annoying while I was sick, that and I couldn't help but notice Bandit sounded like Berry Steakfries from that time Halfbrick deiced to produce six shorts and two music videos for Jetpack Joyride and wanted to check it out. Which apparently on that last one, not sure they had the same voice actor, but the show and those shorts were made by the same animators, cool.
I'm pretty sure this show is the only reason I'd be okay having kids in the future. I genuinely enjoy the show for a lot of reasons, and this video proved to me I still didn't give it enough credit.
For me, a kids series, is a adult series but retouched for being more appropriate for younger viewers, learning good messages for the kids and even for the adults. And I found that in Bluey
10/10 I loved the Disney Plus édition I have to see the uncut one.
Dude, as a dad of two lil ones, Bluey is amazing to watch with them and then Play the games they play in the show. Every friend I’ve talked to has cried at sleep episode
My wife and I found this show a few years ago when we were out of town staying at a hotel. Naturally we put on a random cable channel for the kids. And this show was on. In the background.
When I the kid dog had lost a tooth and the tooth fairy came last night. So the dad asks what did the tooth fairy leave. And Bluey says $5 bucks! The dad spit out his cereal and said FIVE BUCKS! We were hooked ever since.
I've heard of the show a few times, but never really watched until YT recommended a few clips (mostly fanmade compilations) to me by pure chance. I'm not a parent (let alone married), but what I did watch was... sweet and cozy. A short, comforting distraction from the insanity of the past few years.
My family loves this show. And I love that I can almost always find a lesson from Bluey to help explain a complex situation to my kids that helps them work though it more easily. I'm sure it could have been explained without, but having an example from Bluey they've seen dozens of times, really helps it sink in.
It’s so wild seeing these comments talk about trauma, openly crying, and plenty of other emotionally deep comments in regards to a Disney Junior show.
I’ll admit, when I saw the series, I wasn’t very impressed, I thought it just an above average kids show. But seeing it again, I’m now impressed
Elk, I'm a 41 year old man and my kids are teenagers... and you've made ME want to watch this show
Then I’ve done my job!
Im 13 and i watch it
“A Show made by parents, for parents, that kids can watch as well”
THAT is honestly… The best description I’ve heard of for this show.
An like….. I don’t even have kids, but I understand a lot of stuff the adults in the show talk about
Haha, I wondered when the video essayists would start making videos about Bluey. Such an amazing show that gets a lot of different aspects of filmmaking right. I always end up burning through a season before I even watch it with my two young kids... I am pretty sure I like it a ton more than them. It's cliché at this point, but as a father, I know I aspire to be even half as fun and engaging a parent as Bandit. Chilli is amazing as well, and in different ways, but I just wish I had Bandit's complete and total commitment to a bit when playing with his kids.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. 💛The segment where you described Bluey and Bingo's game of evolution, and how they referenced "gods" and "heaven" was astounding! I haven't gotten to that episode yet, and it just blew my mind. This kids' show truly is like no other!
I heard alot about this show, and was pretty interested in watching it- I really only got into it once my partner watched it with me
It’s fantastic- the writing and art direction are so appealing to all generations. I’ve only just started University, but this show made me wonder what my partner and I would be like as parents- I hope that it instils the same level of joy as it does seeing this show’s interpretation of parenthood
Bluey gives me a roller coaster of emotions similar to when I first watched Wolf Children. The way the episodes play out, and it being a slice of life kind of thing, and dealing with things that you would normally have to deal with growing up. I'm so thankful to have watched this show alongside my s/o. It's the best experience to me, especially as an animation student.
It’s so weird watching this video because I just saw an episode the other day. I was just flipping around channels in the morning (all talk shows lol). It’s actually a super adorable show.
Yeah! Glad you thought so. Check some more episodes out.
@@EntertainTheElk will do! 😊
I’m new to your channel and I must say. I’ve seen Bluey pop up everywhere! From Disney plus to all over the Internet! I even Love the intro! EVEN THE INTO THEME IS AMAZING! The way how the cast play dance freeze when the music stops and then plays again is genius and engaging to watch! And the extended version is amazing where they translation to the violins 🎻, to the trumpets 🎺, to the guitars 🎸, and the saxophone 🎷 (which is my favorite and what I play!) was so cool and then when the music pause one last time, the WHOLE orchestra joins in like My singing monsters! It is the best intro for a “kids show”! More parents and kids should watch more of Bluey!
I'm glad you took the time to analyze and explore the themes within my personal favorite episode, Flatpack. So simple and still so mind-blowing. Another great one is one of the recent episodes, Rain, which just absolutely floored me.
My baby cousin loves this show and has a plush of Bluey, I checked it out for myself and honestly I loved it. I’m glad he’s growing up with good shows.
(He also watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
“No, it was yesterday” always makes me sob
as a brand new aussie i can say my best friend's child loves this show and i can enjoy it too while babysitting her
As a childless, single, 14 year old, i thoroughly enjoy this show by myself. If that secret gets out i'm as dead as a doornail.
Nah its ok all my friends know i love this show and they dont care
@@Trotazik also i checked out your content and you're pretty cool
@@MaxSixty-Three appreciate it
I have no kids but this show warms my heart so much. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. I loved the stuff I watched when I was younger but wish I had this show as a kid.
”That was a really long time ago.
No, that was yesterday."
That line got me hard.
Damn, I've never seen an episode of this, don't have kids (and no desire to), and I feel like I'm on the verge of crying after watching this video.
I’d recommend giving it a shot i like it
Thank you for this. This is exactly the video I needed to “sell” the show to fellow parents.
Wish you mentioned “camp” a little more. Another masterpiece 🧡
It’s insane how good Sleepy Time is. But my favorite episode is the one where they take the bins to the side of the street.
This is what I wish my kids could have watched growing up. I say that but it was actually my adult daughter who introduced me to Bluey, something she watches now as an adult.
Really is the polar opposite to something like Caillou
Just remember, just because a show is appropriate for kids doesn’t mean it’s only for kids.
I’ll say it now. Sleepy time is an episode one should watch with home theater sound system!
I felt the impact when Bingo and dream floppies hugged at the beginning of the dream.
Had a friend that has kids of his own show me this show one time and I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was to watch. (I was 29 at the time) Based on what I've been shown of the show myself I'd agree. It's a surprisingly fun show that anyone can watch and relate to.
I actually just learned of this show a couple of days ago. Happened to walk into the living room while my little sister was watching it. I only saw the last minute or so before it ended and she ran off to another room, but it was interesting that I could tell in that short time that it was a well made show.
HOLY DARN I NEVER TOUGHT THAT YOU WILL TALK ABOUT BLUEY! THIS IS SO EXCITING!
I'm glad everyone is giving this show the recognition it deserves! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Jean-Luc and the evolution episodes are the ones the legit made me cry 😭
This is why I liked Children's media focused more on entertainment and telling fun stories than educational ones. Thomas the Tank Engine and Bob the Builder especially, taking you to not-so-wild places and telling stories that you could see yourself telling as a parent and child.
Also, I had not seen that last episode yet, that's insanely beautiful, I kinda felt like a tear was going to come out. Media in general needs to stop talking down to the audience. Honestly I think that's holding a lot of kids back, instead of understanding they're not stupid.
Flat Pack is the first episode of Bluey I watched in full on tiktok and it still remains my favourite (followed closely by Army). It's just such a simple episode with such an amazing overall theme. I could talk about that episode for days
I babysit a lot and I started watching this with the kids. I've been watching since season one and I think I'm more excited about it than they are
i think the episode that first made me think "oh wow the writing here is unique" was probably bin night: a brief story of children's aspirations and finding a dream for the future through Bluey, and a story of bullying and making friends with Bingo, all from the parents' perspective of the small, simple, regular moments that make up life
Ive been watching the show since 2020, and recently I have told my friends about my interest within this show. Never again will I share my feelings about anything that can be judged.
Oh yes Bluey is by far the best kids show out there right now, I babysit my neice frequently and always adore watching this with her.
Bluey really is fantastic! Out of all the shows my child watches, Bluey is the one that will get me to sit down with her and watch a few episodes. I am pretty sure we have seen some episodes dozens of times at this point, yet they really don't ever get old. Barky Boats always gets me. They all get me actually! lol
Been big bluey fans for a while and we don't even have kids, it's just such a shot of genuine joy to your day, hugely emotional and really funny to boot (any episode with Muffin in has me laughing).
What I really love about this show, besides the incredible writing is the absolute passion you feel in every aspect of its creation, it has beautiful music and gorgeous art, seriously every zoomed out vista shot of their house never fails to make me pause it and just look at it for a bit, the night sky with its simple diamond shapes for stars and the gorgeous sunlight filtering through the trees. Me and my partner lament the fact they don't do official art prints, they'd look great on the wall!
You can tell everyone on this show really loves their craft, it elevates the entire thing to be something really special, I hope others follow suit with childrens shows in the future.
Bluey is the most accurate definition of a "family show" I've ever seen.
I'm a 30 year old man and this is my favourite show. I've probably watched it more without my son while he's having a nap than I have with him
In regards to the title, speak for yourself! I have a 3 year old and have seen seasons 1 and 2 at least 10 times each. Already gone through season 3 twice. It's pretty much my favorite show, but my son seems to be a fan of it as well 😂 I can tell what episode is on almost by the background music alone.
I even considered doing an episode by episode breakdown youtube series of the show because it is just that packed with stuff to talk about. There are countless small details the show gets right. I love it so much 🧡
My family and I love this show. My brother and his wife turned us on to it a couple of years ago. So good. Thank you for helping me understand why we love it.
Thank you for covering it😊 more people need to know
I’m gonna try sharing it with my cousins
it should be passed as law that every upcoming parent has to watch at least 1 1/2 seasons of bluey
haha
Bro done made me cry Bluey is truly a good show and I can’t really explain why because you basically already did I’m 15 turning 16 this year and watching Bluey and there were so many episodes where I relate too
I'm an adult, have been for over 30 years but the simplicity of the episode Rain where the kids and parents all try to guide the water just breaks me up every time.
Great to see you cover this, the show is extremely well loved and revered here in Australia
Boy, Baby Race is the one that hits me. Lovely little reassurance that you're doing ok at this parenting thing.
I consider the show one of the best ever created. It was technicallly perfect and the feelings it makes are amazing cos you cant expect that it make u cry with something so pure and deep. Sleepytime is a great episode. ONe of the best ever made in a kids show because its about the inmortal love of a mother an the way of atureness of a child and the dedication of a father. It has all!!! AN the way of manage the last message destroys the hardest heart (chilis voice is so calm and lovely...). I love the show and it Taught how to be a present and better father and i hope some day to be so awsome father as Bandit is
I've only seen this show through syndication on cable tv at 6 in the morning in motel rooms. I will never get the theme song out of my head.
This show is lovely and if I ever have children I'm excited to have something to teach them the family values my family lacked growing up.
It's an incredible show. My partner and I have different favourites, but we each have a couple that utterly lay is to waste. I can happily watch this show all morning.
Sleepytime also breaks me every time too, and it's Flatpack for my partner.
I really enjoy this show with my kids
I just hope it don’t get ruined by Oversaturation and the quality of writing just drops drastically so they can pump out multiple episodes and sell merch
I'm so thankful you paid such great attention to "Flat Pack". It's a beautiful episode that is a great entry point for adults. You're doing a great job.
I’d love to watch this show, but there’s one problem: I only have an access to the series through Disney+, and I heard that the episodes in there are being censored. And I have no idea where to find the uncensored episodes…
Love bluey. I'm 50 and it makes me laugh so hard 🤣
Just want to be another to say that this show has made me cry on multiple occasions.
I love how Bluey has the humor in the first 35 seasons of Sesame Street, Arthur, and the videos from Baby Einstein before Disney purchased it. It also tackles serious issues like Sesame Street and Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.
I don't even have kids and this is my comfort show. Well, I have a blue heeler myself and he looks like Muffin.
Recently started watching it with my 18 month old. Learning a lot about how to be a better parent.
I stored your video for so long, I wanted to watch it when my son (now 3) and I start watching Bluey. And here I am, agreeing with everything you said. This show is something very special. Thanks for the video about it.
Wow, thanks for storing it and coming back to watch it. So glad you're enjoying Bluey with your 3-year-old. I'm enjoying it with my two daughters too!
I watch Bluey with my niece, and all of my siblings agree that it’s the show that was needed during this time and just for the upcoming generation in general. Don’t get me wrong, shows like Blue’s Clues and Backyardigans were great as a kid, but they all walked so Bluey could run. For real life.
My two year old cries every time he watches sleepy time 😭 it’s such an amazing show!
Hold the damn for phone for minute - Why the hell was I feeling a little prick of a tear towards the end their with the music, the seen of 'Old Mother' Character saying goodbye, watching their 'Child' Character leave before metaphorically heading to heaven!?
I've never seen the show, only seen thumbnails with it going under my radar almost entirely. I think am going to change that.
I REALLY love the scene where the little brother want to be a frog and the sister just says "oh, okay"
me and my girlfriend have a habit of watching bluey whenever we need a good happy cry
And I cant express how much my kids love them!
This show really knows how to make you sentimental. Mostly in the episode "Camping". You know that feeling you get, after watching a movie or show or listening to a song? Where for some reason, once it's over, you just sit there. You can't think of any words to say, you can't think about anything else in the entire world, you feel empty, maybe a little cold, sad, happy, satisfied but unsatisfied all at the same time? That's what I felt like after I watched that episode. It's also the same feeling I got after watching the last episode of Breaking Bad if you can believe it.
I'm a 16 year old boy by the way lol
Discovered Bluey thanks to my toddler; it’s her favorite show now
This is 10 times better than watching Seaseme Street, Cyber(what was it called again?), Peppa Pig, or anything like that
I cried during the episode "Camping" every time i watch it with my 3 y/o cousin i cry
As a 25 year old aroace who never plans on having kids or getting married, this show holds a special place in my heart... 💙
Once my time comes, I will fall into an eternal sleep with the last thing I'll hear being the voices of the characters... 🕊
THANK YOU, Bluey... THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH...! 😭
