Why dull? surely just typical family life with young kids? They’re hardly going to be snorting coke & swinging from the chandeliers…not whilst B & B are still up, at least.

Typical life with young kids is often stultifying. I was living it, I didn’t need to watch cartoon dogs acting it out.

That's 8.

Most are old that you can't watch on TV.

They’re all tv shows that you can still watch in some form or another. And sorry I didn’t count, it’s not that big of a deal!

None of those are funnier than bluey

Yes they are, Bluey isn’t funny at all! Have watched a lot of it and not laughed once about a gecko falling of the ceiling or them calling each other daft names or dancing in front of cars. It’s kids humour, yes, but doesn’t include anything for adults. Trapdoor on the other hand is for both adults and kids and it shows

Mushr00mMagee · 27/07/2026 20:03

for example,

Funnybones
Bertha
Trapdoor
Frog and Toad (much better as a book though)
Brambly Hedge (ditto)
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
Tales of The riverbank (60s version)
and I loved Watch With Mother too.

Good stories, lovely animation, no annoying dad or older kid!

It’s nice for kids to have something a bit more relevant too!

Are you actually ok?! Please breathe

Are you ok that being polite to posters (such as myself) who had no idea what you were oh about, would be better than your immature responses? I'm 60. No grandchildren (yet) and just opened from curiosity. But the rude responses from OP who aren't part of her 'gang' are unwarranted. Maybe just explain without the rudeness?

Urgh he was banned from our TV. Snivelling little whinger.

Why is the panda always in his pants? Like, they will be at the playground and he has taken his trousers off and none of his carers seem to think this might be a safeguarding issue.

Koalaslippers · 27/07/2026 20:05

I would love to be Chilli.

I love how most of the games in the show are simple to replicate and don't evolve fancy things. Often my kids see an idea on bluey then make their own version.

Mushr00mMagee · 27/07/2026 20:05

You can keep saying that, but it’s not helpful.

If you said “chilli heeler is a character in a kids cartoon” that gives something called by people who can write coherent sentences, context.

I didn’t need to in this instance, fans are fans and die hard ones just know.

Bluey is a nice cartoon for kids.
The animation is amazing.
A lot of the funny jokes have been ripped off from the Simpsons.
It’s too mawkish and preachy imo.
I can’t understand the appeal for adults.
Their lives seem extremely dull to me. So much so it actually used to get in on my head when my dc were a little bit younger and we watched a lot of it. The kids are so fucking whiny!

Lol summer holidays has brought the bitches out in force on MN at the mo. On every thread 🤣

Op I knew instantly who you were talking about and I wish I had chilli's patience thats for sure. Sometimes when im about to lose my shit I stop and think what would chilli do in this situation. Helps calm my nerves.

That applies to both home and work btw

Bit daft.

How are you supposed to know without opening it 👀😁

I was thinking of Chili from TLC (shows age). She was beautiful to be fair but I know nothing else about her.

For having a different opinion about a cartoon character who is fairly divisive as we have seen from upteen posts on MN before? You asked if you were unreasonable, I said yes and you tell me to leave a public forum. What a ridiculous response 😂

I was just joking….

Mushr00mMagee · 27/07/2026 19:53

No thanks OP, Bandit is fucking annoying and Bluey is a headache. The other kid is sweet though.
Wouldn’t want her life at all, the fact that adults obsess over the show is bizarre to me. So many other much more funny or beautiful children’s shows to love.

Go on then,.as there's so many....name 10 that are more funny or beautiful.
