Bluey aims to be a smart, relatable, funny, often low key show about the little ups and downs of family life, enjoyable for all ages. And it succeeds magnificently at being just that.

NeonPhoenix 05/11/25 10:45:36 AM #19:	To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bluey. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Bluey's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bluey truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Bluey's existential catchphrase "Oh biscuits!" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as whoever the fuck is Bluey's creator's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Bluey's tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

It it's not edutainment or anything, but it does deal with some pretty heavy subject matter every now and then, though it treats children with respect and does it without infantalising or talking down to them.

I've seen the obvious stuff such as toys, pillows, blankets, posters, books... but they have cereal, workout sweat bands with ears, kiwi's with bluey on them. Diapers, healthcare stuff. It's a bit amusing at how rapidly it popped off. Oh, I also have a shirt with Chili and Bandit dancing on it saying "This was the 80's, man." I'm disappointed the actual shirt doesn't fully match the display image as the display pic included small text at the bottom "There was no helmets, it was a wild place." It was supposed to be on the shirt image, but kinda diminished it without. Oh yeah the beans actually make a hell of a lot of sense. I forgot that in one of the episodes they're acting like old ladies and obsessed with a can of baked beans. In the christmas episode, one of them gets a can of baked beans.

Stillwater Sounds like the name of a BBC drama where David Tennant is a tortured and haunted cop trying to solve just the most unimaginably worst crime ever. Which is kind of all of them lately.

Hexenherz 05/11/25 11:53:05 AM #44:	I heard rave reviews about it so I decided to load it up with my daughter and I was disappointed at things like name-calling that didn't really support the story at all. I hate that so many childrens shows, even G rated ones, feature unnecessary violence and shit. So to TC, it actually is hard to find proper developmentally constructive shows for younger kids.

Sephiroth_C_Ryu 05/11/25 12:05:38 PM #48:	Haven't seen it, but from what I heard, its as some of the other people here are saying. Its a show written for kids by people who don't just think a small child is a lower life form that only wants to look at shiny things (read: most people who try to write things for preschoolers because they think young kids are too dumb to follow anything that lasts longer than dangling keys in front of them). Such that it is well written for a young kids' show, to the point where it can also be enjoyable or at least watchable to older kids and adults who enjoy cartoons. --- I am the Hunter of Topics.

This, there are a lot of adult references that would fly over preschoolers heads (the episode "Show" implies Chili may have had a miscarriage before having Bluey, for example) --- Insert some witty line here <cite>TyVulpine posted [p:985030534] in Why is Blu...
