"You're doing great." I never realised that I needed a cartoon dog to reassure me of all of my doubts about parenting, but it brought a tear to my eye, and was most appreciated.
@@TheMelbournelad I'm sure you're a great parent. So long as you love and support your kids and help them to succeed you're doing it right. I feel like I'm raising my daughter wrong sometimes, especially because she's Deaf and that's been a huge learning curve for me, but she's happy, healthy, and safe. Sometimes that's enough.
Spoilers for Season 3B: “Grandad” hits even harder after it’s been revealed that Chilli’s mother had passed away and her sister Brandy has a hard time connecting with Chilli ever since she started a family. The line, “I still need him” is downright heartbreaking. She doesn’t want to lose the only family member she has left.
Yeah, I actually think the saddest bit of that episode with brandy was when chili says '4 years' at 23:40 . Implies she hasn't kept must in touch with her sister for 4 years due to situation.
In my opinion, Brandy is one of Rose Byrne's best roles. Though we can only hear her voice, her performance still makes you feel sorry for Brandy, and empathise with her inability to have a family of her own.
I deal with that, and it's hard for me, and I've accepted it. My sister just had a baby and it's painful for me. I can't smile through it sometimes, and my family doesn't get it sometimes, and I feel really alone about it. I felt a little less alone with that.
Bluey has great messaging for kids and adults alike. The pass the parcel episode showed how kids adapt to new rules and eventually love them. And Chili being told, "You're doing great," are both moments I loved.
Even though cartoons and movies from the '80s and '90s were able to get away with some stuff, I doubt addressing miscarriages would have been easy to address, even within more adult shows and movies (unless it was among some of the more indie/surrealist art crowds). Considering how a lot of health struggles/issues have a long history of being treated as taboo to address in some societies/cultures (reproductive health being one of them), it's refreshing to see some movies and shows slowly push back against the taboo to help people deal with tough subject matters like miscarriages.
The end of grandad doesn't make me cry but the "I still need him" line makes me sob every time. In onsies I will always sob as well. I had 2 miscarriages before having my son and after trying for 5 years I thought I'd never have kids. Now I have 2 kids and overwhelmed with virtually no help (my husband is hopeless) and in baby race like all of us the "your doing great" kills me also the end when bluey walks gets me everytime definitely after you realize in every different way she finds a way to move its always to get to mom.
"but i'm his daughter! he should take care of himself for me because....i still need him!" that's one of the lines in this show that almost always makes me cry, since i'm always worried about my dad (who is the most important person in my life) and how well he's taking care of himself.
I relate. My grandfather(mum's dad) passed away on 1/7/2022. By far, she was the most upset. I was also rather torn up about it, but Mum was almost twice as worse as me. I still get emotional whenever he gets brought up in a conversation.
Let's just hope she has the stamina for it. I'm very empathetic, but I'm avoiding being a therapist even though I'd be pretty good at it because my social batteries don't hold much of a charge, and it would burn me out faster than others.
I definitely noticed the undertones in "Flat Pack" and thought it was very cleverly implemented. Also, living with my younger cousins, I can definitely relate to Chilli trying to get Bluey and Bingo out the door.
As a father of 3 its hard to find good shows for kids to enjoy so when we came across this I started watching it with them and quickly learned how wholesome and endearing the entire show is. Now, every so often, I'll catch myself getting wrapped up the show too, even shedding a tear here and there. I can't recommend it enough to parents of younger children.
Brandy’s episode hits home for me. My husband and I are struggling to have a kid where as my sisters have had no trouble getting pregnant. I love being an aunt but I still long for one of my own
Brandy's episode really hit me as well, including the episode 'the show' really hit as well. I'm in the exact same boat. It can be really disheartening and feel hopeless at times. Just know you aren't alone in your struggle, okay? 🙂 I can forget at times that I'm not alone, and I need a reminder often. Hang in there. :)
I feel you. I’m in the same boat. It’s so hard, especially when it feels like everyone else is pregnant. The only reason I know of Bluey is because I work as an ECE and it’s a show I don’t mind showing for an occasional movie day.
This episode made both me and my hubby cry. My husband has a pair of twin aunts, one married and the other single but had to have a hysterectomy due to medical issues. Even though we see it's painful for her to know she'll never get the chance to give birth to children of her own, she loves and cherishes her nieces and nephew like they are her own.
I was so not ready for baby race, it put bluey on to entertain me and my daughter, I never expected it to hit so hard 😭 still can’t watch it without shedding a tear
Me. This was the first episode I stumbled upon when my roommate recommended Bluey for my own kiddo. Had to reassure her that I was all right when I started tearing up a little.
“Grandad” made me, a 26 year old guy, ugly cry. Mort reminds me so much of my Pop who I lost back in 2018. He was like a dad to me. And the way Chilli acts with him is just like how my mom used to be with my pop. I miss him so much. 😢
One of my favorites is the "boner joke" in Bob Bilby. This is when Chili opens the garage door, and seductively says "are you ready bob?" Bandit's face says it all.
I'm not even a parent. But as a 23 year old guy, I always tear up when Bella says "You're doing great!". This show is such an inspiration to me, to be a great father like Bandit one day. My mother passed when I was 3 on Christmas. So I had no emotional support from her growing up. And my father never cared or was there for me either. On top of having no friends growing up, I've been isolated in my thoughts for 23 years. Which is the main reason I'm depressed, all the years of the trauma from emotional neglection and abuse has left me traumatized. Which is why this show is like a therapy for me. Seeing Bluey and Bingo have the childhood I wish I had. Now some may say that would make me more depressed cause I'm reminded of what I didn't have. But honestly it does the opposite, it makes me happy seeing them happy. And it's the smile I want to see on my kid's faces one day. With all that said. This makes one of my biggest life missions is to be the greatest father ever, to not let my kid battle his or her demons alone like I had to. I hope to be a father like Bandit one day.
Bandit referencing Raiders is probably why he’s an archeologist. He probably saw it as a kid and wanted to be like him. He even quoted The Last Crusade during that “No ticket” bit.
Out of curiosity, did they say if it happened earlier in their relationship, or after she'd already had Bluey and Bingo? Was wondering if it coincided more withB Bandit's vasectomy and the crib being taken down.
@@Perid0tStar It isn't clear, they said it references a friend who had a miscarriage _after_ some kids. And that's where the 'the show must go on' refers to, the real kids that the real friend has to keep going for. But the play bluey and bingo are putting on would have the 'miscarriage' before bluey. So it's ambiguous within the show when it would be placed for chilli.
@@chronographerI think due to Chili’s reaction being so strong, yet subdued, I think it happened before Bluey’s birth. Not to mention, a third, younger sibling would have been talked about with the girls. Bluey and Bingo would have had a talk about how they’re going to be big sisters. You could also take the conversation in Bedroom where Chili says it was Bluey’s first bedroom, then Bingo’s, and now it’s no one’s. Not to mention that an event like that would have taken a toll on Chili. Granted, the show writers could have decided not to show that time period, but there would have been a big time jump to see Chili where the depression is still there, but she’s being strong for the girls. Which is a bit different compared to how we see her now. There’s a creator named Aussie Girl Margie who theorized that Chili’s mom died around the same time, or before, Chili’s miscarriage. In the episode, Rain, we see two rainbows. It could be implied that both Bluey and Bingo are the rainbow babies, or that the rainbows are Chili’s mom and her unborn child watching over them.
@@Perid0tStar In Sleepytime its slightly hinted that she had the miscarriage before Bluey, as when Bingo is going through her dream sequence Bingo hatches out of Earth and she bypasses Venus which is Hatched (Bluey, next shot points to her empty bed), and Mercury which remains unhatched kind of indicating the idea of an unborn child, or infertile egg I guess and it being the first planet in the line it would have happened before Bluey
I think the pass the parcel game entirely depends on the age group that's playing. Bingo and her friends are 4, old enough to start learning how to play games where you can lose. Learning to be okay with losing games takes time, some adults are still bad at it.
I thought they were gonna mention the Food to Deliver episode where Bandit had an overwhelming situation but at the end, he read out of a fortune cookie "Flowers may bloom again but a person never has a chance to be young again" and from what I understand is that you should enjoy your kids while they are kids because one day they grow up and miss this type of interactions
I'm 32, started watching Bluey to help me with Finnish. I don't necessarily want kids but should my husband and I choose to, I think this show has set a great precedent. That or we'll make great a Great Aunt/Uncle. Edit: I lost my dad at the beginning of 2019, sometimes I wish I could show him the the " It was yesterday" episode too.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 There's a series called 'Dark Toons' that Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) puts out that goes over several that people suggest. I'd forgotten all about the old Disney cartoon with the singing whale, for example.
I grew up in the 90's and the whole concept of "Not everyone can be a winner" was still a very big thing then. Personally I don't think it is an issue, there comes a time in everyone's life when they have to learn that not everything is going to go the way you want it. You aren't always going to be the most important, or the big winner, or the best at something. Sometimes you are just average, and sometimes you fail. Being average isn't a bad thing, things still come your way now and again, and failing isn't the end of the world. Learning how to accept loss, in any sense, is a good skill to have.
When Bluey start walking to go to Chili, and she turn around to witness her first step, I actually teared up and begin crying. I'm not even a mother, but i work with children, and sometime i feels that everything is just not working as how I wanted, and I'm not sure if the kids are having a good time with me, but when a subtle unspoken implication says, "Nope, you're doing great." Came out like in the case where a child suddenly run to hug you after they haven't seen you in a while, or they start cheering and waving madly when you pass their class, or when they make you one of those silly cards project, or when they remembered a funny remarks you made (in my case my students actually went out of the way to find and ask me if I really make lemon tea after i meet them in the lemon aisle in the supermarket few days before) or in the Bluey's case, walk to her mommy who is cooking, it just pulled that string.
I was watching Bluey the other day and one of the episodes was the episode Perfect and I had the closed captions on. I live in the US so Bandit and Fido’s conversation was changed, however I had closed captions on and I noticed that the captions had the original conversation instead of the censored version.
It's basically the same thing when comparing them to people and dogs. People get vasectomies to keep from having children. The equivalent to that for dogs would be getting neutered. Yes, the process of the two are different. But they are both done to achieve the same goal...just different between different species.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 Yes both procedures have the same purpose, but they have different effects on the body. Neutering removes the testes which means that they are no longer releasing hormones like testosterone into the body.
@@randomrabbit3161 r/woosh...it's not a question of whether they have different effects. In terms of what the episode is discussing (where again the exact biological details will go above the head of most kids watching the show, and anyone who actually picks up on the dialogue between the 'men' there will likely know enough about both processes to understand that it's not a comparison of the exact biological effects), the two are the same concept: it's talking about males taking responsibility for making sure they don't bring children they aren't ready for into the world.
@@pyrrhusnikos242 First things first: it was a reply to a UA-cam comment, not a critique of the show. There by making your argument null. Second: I could have left the misunderstanding alone, but why not clarify the difference? Or are a blood donation and a vaccination the same because they both jab you with a needle? At worse people will have wasted a few seconds of their time reading my comment. At best they learn a new tidbit of information.
I might be a teen, but I noticed a lot of these while watching Bluey. The deep meanings behind some of the episodes can be so moving, I see why this show touches so many peoples hearts!!❤❤
Chilli and Brandy had a wonderful mom who did everything for her daughters. Mrs. Cattle is wonderful. I'm glad we could finally see her. The only sad thing is that we will never see her in person in the series but only in flashbacks, which I wish there were more.
the episode with chili and her father made me a little emotional. my maternal grandfather and my mom were the exact same way. he’s been gone for almost four years, but he always loved my mom and us.
I'm 28 and I love this show cuz it might be for kids but honestly I feel like this is more aimed for at adults. We haven't had a show that talked or dealt with serious topics like this in FOREVER on TV and I love it. Because it's a show where you watch it with your kid and relate to it as well sometimes even more then the kids will. The show is like surreal
As a mom who had a preemie Early Baby gets me everytime and then when Coco's mom says "You're doing great" gets me too, when i saw that episode it was after my baby was born and i felt my body failed me. So hearing that made me cry...hard
I always hated the concept of everyone winning because it always made trying and winning feel worthless but I do agree on giving a little something to teach that its not all bad
All i will say is that Bluey is perfection as a show. Absolutely brilliant for both children and adults. I just can't say enough that is magnificent and beautiful about this show. Now we just need season 4 and a Bluey movie! Thank you Ludo Studios and ABC for this show! And I just really love that the voice actors of Bluey and Bingo are deliberately uncredited to protect their identities and privacy. I think it is incredibly respectful and responsible for those kids.
I love this show so much. I watch it with my mom a lot. At first I just decided to watch one episode to see what it was like because it’s meant for preschoolers which I most certainly am not. I’m 26 although I do have ADHD and Cerebral Palsy so I am quite childish myself despite my age. This show is just so adorable and my mom and I have laughed at so many of the jokes in the show and we also really get a kick out of the Australian accents of the characters.
My uncle rick and aunt Jeanine were my favorite aunt and uncle growing up...they found out through a few failed attempts that having kids just wasnt in the bag for them so they practically adopted my sister and i whenever my parents needed time to themselves and bluey reminds me so much of the fun times we had
This video made me a fan of Bluey. Before I hadn't bothered to give it a chance. I mean it looked like just another kids show. But after seeing this I was impressed and looked into it more. I think the best description I found is "It's a parenting guide dressed up as a kid's cartoon."
I always thought the lemonade was just missing sugar! I also firmly believe that Unicorse is what happens to Bandit when the bedtime edible kicks in. That's the best explanation i can think of for how obnoxious he in in that episode.
I can relate to #11 because I was born prematurely. 3 months prematurely in fact. My mom actually flatlined and had to be recessotated and I had to stay in the hospital a long time and at 4 months old I had to have a shunt put in because I also have Hydrocephalus.
I love how the adults are not always giving the kids the answers, even when they are clearly on the wrong track. They want the kids to figure things out and make mistakes. Critical thinking is sorely needed these days and this show has more of it than most adult shows these days. I hope the nitwits that get offended over the dumbest things do not manage to ruin this show.
I was a child in the 80s, a product of a toxic relationship and toxic divorce and stepparents. This parenting style would have set met up for success. I had to learn how to survive the hard way.
I'm on the "learning to be a good loser is a valuable lesson" side of the argument in Pass the Parcel. No one wins everything at life; you do not get a prize for just showing up. Being coddled to win something all the time isn't healthy. As a parent, I'm sure it's hard to see your kid sad or disappointed, but as someone on the outside looking in, I see all those kids as adults now who expect praise for the most menial things and they can't understand why they aren't allowed to have all the things.
My family and I lost a very close friend early this year. He was a wonderful husband and father. A great man. Watching Grandad just makes it even harder for me because it makes me realize that I still need him today as much as I needed him when I was younger.
the miscarriage one is true because joe brumm [the maker of bluey], has confirmed it and in fact said that was the main reason of the episode in one of his meetings where people ask him what the episodes meanings were..
This show teaches great values, just like Digimon Season 1 for me as a kid about how parents divorce for reasons but you and your siblings stay strong together or how being adopted is a good thing: you are wanted, loved and choosen
It’s kind of a sidebar to this but the episode “Sleepytime” will always get my grown-up emotions going. My Mom passed away just before that episode premiered here in the US and I still sometimes ugly cry to it when it comes on.
Kids need to learn you never always win. They need to understand that you will lose whether you like it or not and there's no reason to dwell over it but to move on and do better
Im almost 13, yet i find bluey the perfect show for anyone. Especially the uncensored army episode, since its implied he has adhd and thinks theres something wrong with him. I feel the same, jack. Everyone ADHD person feels the same. Maybe.
With Indi's premee I remember something similar from my childhood on a few occasions. We had a 'premee' play and we put the doll in my friend's brother's lizard tank. We also had a loss, her aunt (my dad's wife, they would have been my brothers/sisters) lost the twins and she explored that through our mommy pretend play
Watching the show once and my little one stopped watching and went to his room. Two episodes later I questioned my life. WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS?!
Bandit: Oops! Did I make that a little too fun? Kids: Yeah, you did. Bluey: It was pretty FUuhUhN though!😊 Bingo: Yeah it was…😊 didn’t they just say he was ToO fun?
Was not expecting a lot of this show to mirror my relationship with my younger sister. Probably should have considering that we have the same age gap as Bluey and Bingo and very similar parents to the show😅
I am with Lucky's Dad. These kids really do have to learn that in life everyone can't win every time. It's about time that someone brings that issue up with this generation.

I'm
Pre baby speaks to me because I was a pre baby❤
hey uh just so you know i understood all of this and i am 11 so stop stereotyping kids we are not dumb just because we are young
"You're doing great." I never realised that I needed a cartoon dog to reassure me of all of my doubts about parenting, but it brought a tear to my eye, and was most appreciated.
I'm not a parent yet but I cried a little all thesame
I love and hate bluey. Shows how shit I am as a parent
Not a mom, but this is the first episode I remember paying attention to when I was babysitting. I became a fan of the show that moment.
Calm down. It's just a dumb show.

i haven't seen Rose Byrne have a bad role yet
I hope they bring her back with an adopted child. As a father with an adopted son it would make it great teaching episode
ROSE BYRNE
I deal with that, and it's hard for me, and I've accepted it. My sister just had a baby and it's painful for me. I can't smile through it sometimes, and my family doesn't get it sometimes, and I feel really alone about it. I felt a little less alone with that.
@@reybat4969If you didn't know, she's pregnant in the last episode
Bluey has great messaging for kids and adults alike. The pass the parcel episode showed how kids adapt to new rules and eventually love them. And Chili being told, "You're doing great," are both moments I loved.
The miscarriage and the infertility definitely shocked me. I grew up with dark cartoons and movies from the 80s & 90s and that genuinely shocked me
The still stare with no readable emotions is the perfect way to express that
I got that the first time I watched it, and I felt it was such a mature theme to put in a cartoon that's supposedly for kids. Still love it though!
Even though cartoons and movies from the '80s and '90s were able to get away with some stuff, I doubt addressing miscarriages would have been easy to address, even within more adult shows and movies (unless it was among some of the more indie/surrealist art crowds).

Fr same here
Ive been watching Movies with R-Ratings since i was 8 and even IM Left Speechless
love the way the show deals with more serious matters in a lighthearted way.
Sayig that Brandy wanting children isn’t meant to be, that’s probably the most calm way to explain the situation. Honestly, this show is a masterpeice
I feel bad for her!😢
If you watch final episode of season 3 rads wedding youll see shes arrives at the wedding pregnant.so good news in the end.
The end of grandad doesn't make me cry but the "I still need him" line makes me sob every time.
In onsies I will always sob as well. I had 2 miscarriages before having my son and after trying for 5 years I thought I'd never have kids.
Now I have 2 kids and overwhelmed with virtually no help (my husband is hopeless) and in baby race like all of us the "your doing great" kills me also the end when bluey walks gets me everytime definitely after you realize in every different way she finds a way to move its always to get to mom.
I've seen most episodes 10ths of times and moments like "this is heaven" and "it was yesterday" get me EVERY time
Saaaame
"but i'm his daughter! he should take care of himself for me because....i still need him!"

I’m realizing that bingo is going to make an amazing doctor/nurse/care provider she’s so empathetic
Let's just hope she has the stamina for it. I'm very empathetic, but I'm avoiding being a therapist even though I'd be pretty good at it because my social batteries don't hold much of a charge, and it would burn me out faster than others.
And Bluey is more than a little sadistic.

We’re struggling too. You’re not alone. That episode made me tear up as well. ❤
Bluey is a show that gives me ideas as a mom and also brings tears to my eyes how some heart felt moments seem too real
Bluey is a cartoon for young parents that is fully wholesome enough to watch with your kids. Change my mind.
"I just need 20 minutes, where no one says anything to me" I have never connected so much to a kid cartoon in my life
I was so not ready for baby race, it put bluey on to entertain me and my daughter, I never expected it to hit so hard 😭 still can’t watch it without shedding a tear

Yeah thats what I was thinking 😂
My college biology teacher and I discussed several of the episodes and how deeply educational Bluey can be when you pay attention.
Idk why but "When Lila is happy, im happy":) makes me tear up. Just great bestie energy
Bluey is absolutely packed with real values that humanizes the show's characters which the other kid shows have failed to do
I was a preemie baby myself and I showed my mom the preemie episode and she started crying.

Granted, the show writers could have decided not to show that time period, but there would have been a big time jump to see Chili where the depression is still there, but she’s being strong for the girls. Which is a bit different compared to how we see her now.
There’s a creator named Aussie Girl Margie who theorized that Chili’s mom died around the same time, or before, Chili’s miscarriage. In the episode, Rain, we see two rainbows. It could be implied that both Bluey and Bingo are the rainbow babies, or that the rainbows are Chili’s mom and her unborn child watching over them.
@@Perid0tStar In Sleepytime its slightly hinted that she had the miscarriage before Bluey, as when Bingo is going through her dream sequence Bingo hatches out of Earth and she bypasses Venus which is Hatched (Bluey, next shot points to her empty bed), and Mercury which remains unhatched kind of indicating the idea of an unborn child, or infertile egg I guess and it being the first planet in the line it would have happened before Bluey
Bluey is awesome. It's not just for kids.
Chilli made the cover of InStyle Australia in February, breaking Kylie Minogue's four-year streak since 2018.
I think the pass the parcel game entirely depends on the age group that's playing. Bingo and her friends are 4, old enough to start learning how to play games where you can lose. Learning to be okay with losing games takes time, some adults are still bad at it.
I’m not even a parent but I’ll admit that last one hit home
Never in my life did I think a show about Cartoon Dogs from Australia would cause me to ugly cry like I have never ugly cried before.
Lucky's dad understood the task, yeah, it's frustrating, but the thrill of almost getting something is even funnier than getting a treat at each turn
I thought they were gonna mention the Food to Deliver episode where Bandit had an overwhelming situation but at the end, he read out of a fortune cookie "Flowers may bloom again but a person never has a chance to be young again" and from what I understand is that you should enjoy your kids while they are kids because one day they grow up and miss this type of interactions
I'm 32, started watching Bluey to help me with Finnish. I don't necessarily want kids but should my husband and I choose to, I think this show has set a great precedent. That or we'll make great a Great Aunt/Uncle.
Edit: I lost my dad at the beginning of 2019, sometimes I wish I could show him the the " It was yesterday" episode too.
Bluey is one of my absolute favorite shows of all time. It really knows how to balance just pure absolute fun and seriousness.
the scene with Greenie floating away can also be seen as a allegory for when a parent's child leaves home for the first time.
The Miscarriage is the darkest scene I've seen in a kid's show
You should watch some of the cartoons mainly aimed at kids from back in the day.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 There's a series called 'Dark Toons' that Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) puts out that goes over several that people suggest. I'd forgotten all about the old Disney cartoon with the singing whale, for example.
I grew up in the 90's and the whole concept of "Not everyone can be a winner" was still a very big thing then. Personally I don't think it is an issue, there comes a time in everyone's life when they have to learn that not everything is going to go the way you want it. You aren't always going to be the most important, or the big winner, or the best at something. Sometimes you are just average, and sometimes you fail. Being average isn't a bad thing, things still come your way now and again, and failing isn't the end of the world. Learning how to accept loss, in any sense, is a good skill to have.
When Bluey start walking to go to Chili, and she turn around to witness her first step, I actually teared up and begin crying. I'm not even a mother, but i work with children, and sometime i feels that everything is just not working as how I wanted, and I'm not sure if the kids are having a good time with me, but when a subtle unspoken implication says, "Nope, you're doing great." Came out like in the case where a child suddenly run to hug you after they haven't seen you in a while, or they start cheering and waving madly when you pass their class, or when they make you one of those silly cards project, or when they remembered a funny remarks you made (in my case my students actually went out of the way to find and ask me if I really make lemon tea after i meet them in the lemon aisle in the supermarket few days before) or in the Bluey's case, walk to her mommy who is cooking, it just pulled that string.
I was watching Bluey the other day and one of the episodes was the episode Perfect and I had the closed captions on. I live in the US so Bandit and Fido’s conversation was changed, however I had closed captions on and I noticed that the captions had the original conversation instead of the censored version.
there is a significant difference between Neutering and a Vasectomy. Neutering removes the Testes. A vasectomy only disconnects them from the Urethra.
It's basically the same thing when comparing them to people and dogs. People get vasectomies to keep from having children. The equivalent to that for dogs would be getting neutered. Yes, the process of the two are different. But they are both done to achieve the same goal...just different between different species.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 Yes both procedures have the same purpose, but they have different effects on the body. Neutering removes the testes which means that they are no longer releasing hormones like testosterone into the body.
@@randomrabbit3161 r/woosh...it's not a question of whether they have different effects. In terms of what the episode is discussing (where again the exact biological details will go above the head of most kids watching the show, and anyone who actually picks up on the dialogue between the 'men' there will likely know enough about both processes to understand that it's not a comparison of the exact biological effects), the two are the same concept: it's talking about males taking responsibility for making sure they don't bring children they aren't ready for into the world.
@@pyrrhusnikos242 First things first: it was a reply to a UA-cam comment, not a critique of the show. There by making your argument null.
Second: I could have left the misunderstanding alone, but why not clarify the difference? Or are a blood donation and a vaccination the same because they both jab you with a needle? At worse people will have wasted a few seconds of their time reading my comment. At best they learn a new tidbit of information.
"and I even got to keep them!" I think that sentence is pointing out that difference in a very humorous way
I might be a teen, but I noticed a lot of these while watching Bluey. The deep meanings behind some of the episodes can be so moving, I see why this show touches so many peoples hearts!!❤❤
Chilli and Brandy had a wonderful mom who did everything for her daughters. Mrs. Cattle is wonderful. I'm glad we could finally see her. The only sad thing is that we will never see her in person in the series but only in flashbacks, which I wish there were more.
that grandad episode really got me, my dad still wants to do everything we together when i was young but he cant do things as much anymore either
the episode with chili and her father made me a little emotional. my maternal grandfather and my mom were the exact same way. he’s been gone for almost four years, but he always loved my mom and us.
I'm 28 and I love this show cuz it might be for kids but honestly I feel like this is more aimed for at adults. We haven't had a show that talked or dealt with serious topics like this in FOREVER on TV and I love it.
Because it's a show where you watch it with your kid and relate to it as well sometimes even more then the kids will.
The show is like surreal
Why is this show so good, and it is also still kid friendly.
I always tear up when Coco's mom says, "You're doing great." Reassurance is key to making parents feel validated
As a mom who had a preemie Early Baby gets me everytime and then when Coco's mom says "You're doing great" gets me too, when i saw that episode it was after my baby was born and i felt my body failed me. So hearing that made me cry...hard
It's amazing what we don't realize we need until we get it, and boy is it ever a good thing whenever and however it shows up.
I always hated the concept of everyone winning because it always made trying and winning feel worthless but I do agree on giving a little something to teach that its not all bad
All i will say is that Bluey is perfection as a show. Absolutely brilliant for both children and adults. I just can't say enough that is magnificent and beautiful about this show. Now we just need season 4 and a Bluey movie!
Thank you Ludo Studios and ABC for this show!
And I just really love that the voice actors of Bluey and Bingo are deliberately uncredited to protect their identities and privacy. I think it is incredibly respectful and responsible for those kids.
6:55
I (20) watch bluey at college with my roommates. When I came home, my dad (50+) sat down to watch it with me. This part made me and my dad cry
I love this show so much. I watch it with my mom a lot. At first I just decided to watch one episode to see what it was like because it’s meant for preschoolers which I most certainly am not. I’m 26 although I do have ADHD and Cerebral Palsy so I am quite childish myself despite my age. This show is just so adorable and my mom and I have laughed at so many of the jokes in the show and we also really get a kick out of the Australian accents of the characters.
My uncle rick and aunt Jeanine were my favorite aunt and uncle growing up...they found out through a few failed attempts that having kids just wasnt in the bag for them so they practically adopted my sister and i whenever my parents needed time to themselves and bluey reminds me so much of the fun times we had
6:51 the Grandad scenes, especially this one, always get me because he makes me think of my Papa
This show is what everyone need to watch
16:32 That One Look That Everyone’s Mom Did When We Did Something Wrong lol.
This video made me a fan of Bluey. Before I hadn't bothered to give it a chance. I mean it looked like just another kids show. But after seeing this I was impressed and looked into it more. I think the best description I found is "It's a parenting guide dressed up as a kid's cartoon."
"GO AND DESTROY THE PLANET SOMEWHERE ELSE!"
I always thought the lemonade was just missing sugar! I also firmly believe that Unicorse is what happens to Bandit when the bedtime edible kicks in. That's the best explanation i can think of for how obnoxious he in in that episode.
My sister, Andrea, has two premie babies, and her eldest son loves this show.
The fact almost the whole show had me in tears
I'm strictly child free but my lord I can feel it when Brandy's face falls at 24:55 To want a child and not have one must be the absolute worst.
I can relate to #11 because I was born prematurely. 3 months prematurely in fact. My mom actually flatlined and had to be recessotated and I had to stay in the hospital a long time and at 4 months old I had to have a shunt put in because I also have Hydrocephalus.
“Wonder Woman vs. Sailor Moon.”
Make it happen, MsMojo.
I absolutely second this
I’m pretty sure Diana wins mid to low dif if we’re counting comics.
I love how the adults are not always giving the kids the answers, even when they are clearly on the wrong track. They want the kids to figure things out and make mistakes. Critical thinking is sorely needed these days and this show has more of it than most adult shows these days. I hope the nitwits that get offended over the dumbest things do not manage to ruin this show.
I was a child in the 80s, a product of a toxic relationship and toxic divorce and stepparents. This parenting style would have set met up for success. I had to learn how to survive the hard way.
I'm on the "learning to be a good loser is a valuable lesson" side of the argument in Pass the Parcel. No one wins everything at life; you do not get a prize for just showing up. Being coddled to win something all the time isn't healthy. As a parent, I'm sure it's hard to see your kid sad or disappointed, but as someone on the outside looking in, I see all those kids as adults now who expect praise for the most menial things and they can't understand why they aren't allowed to have all the things.
My family and I lost a very close friend early this year. He was a wonderful husband and father. A great man. Watching Grandad just makes it even harder for me because it makes me realize that I still need him today as much as I needed him when I was younger.
the miscarriage one is true because joe brumm [the maker of bluey], has confirmed it and in fact said that was the main reason of the episode in one of his meetings where people ask him what the episodes meanings were..
This show teaches great values, just like Digimon Season 1 for me as a kid about how parents divorce for reasons but you and your siblings stay strong together or how being adopted is a good thing: you are wanted, loved and choosen
16:25 as a mom that looks & bluey's reaction is a serious reality.
Coco's mum was a real one with those 3 simple words
2:27 Bingo became a Mitchells vs the Machines character.
It’s kind of a sidebar to this but the episode “Sleepytime” will always get my grown-up emotions going. My Mom passed away just before that episode premiered here in the US and I still sometimes ugly cry to it when it comes on.
Bandit is also an archaeologist, which also makes sense why he like Indiana Jones
Kids need to learn you never always win. They need to understand that you will lose whether you like it or not and there's no reason to dwell over it but to move on and do better
The baby race made me excuse myself and cry in the other room for twenty minutes.
Im almost 13, yet i find bluey the perfect show for anyone. Especially the uncensored army episode, since its implied he has adhd and thinks theres something wrong with him. I feel the same, jack. Everyone ADHD person feels the same. Maybe.
This show is exactly what this generation needs 😭❤️
I feel like Bandit with games with little kids and Chili with chaos
Onesies hits so hard.... It almost made me cry...
16:31/16:32 Chilli’s face was (unable to explain)
Grandad episode is lovely, my dad is taking care of himself and I’m thankful! I just wish my mom was here
Bandit is the true definition of adulting, " Magic claw doesn't have any children, his life is free abd easy.
With Indi's premee I remember something similar from my childhood on a few occasions. We had a 'premee' play and we put the doll in my friend's brother's lizard tank. We also had a loss, her aunt (my dad's wife, they would have been my brothers/sisters) lost the twins and she explored that through our mommy pretend play
BLUEY is the Greatest Family Cartoon Show Ever .
Watching the show once and my little one stopped watching and went to his room. Two episodes later I questioned my life. WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS?!
Australians are so unhinged, I love them
Not gonna lie, this took me on a roller-coaster of emotions.
Bandit: Oops! Did I make that a little too fun?
Kids: Yeah, you did.
Bluey: It was pretty FUuhUhN though!😊
Bingo: Yeah it was…😊
didn’t they just say he was ToO fun?
11:20 it appears that they both agreed that they should do time-out by the end.
I had a hysterectomy almost two years ago because I was developing a cancerous fibroid so I relate to brandy……
16:31 the look was spot on 😂
Was not expecting a lot of this show to mirror my relationship with my younger sister. Probably should have considering that we have the same age gap as Bluey and Bingo and very similar parents to the show😅
"Why do I have to help?"
*MOM LOOK*
"Ooh, okay."
I think I'm starting to see why this is so popular XD
I am with Lucky's Dad. These kids really do have to learn that in life everyone can't win every time. It's about time that someone brings that issue up with this generation.
Whose generation gave out the prizes? The kids'?
