Bluey might be my new incredibly guilty pleasure.

I've literally(as in today) just decided to watch an episode of Bluey(Baby Race) which was so incredibly touching and now I get the hype, i then watched Ice Cream. The most shameful part is that I don't even have kids but I used to work in childcare and I don't think I've ever seen a show that captures so perfectly how young children behave and think or parenting(from what little I know of it) I need to offer babysit so I have an excuse to watch another episode or two.

I'm off to hang my head in shame.

@Quaggainexcelsius Total genius. It covers evolution and going to Heaven to watch your loved ones. Packed into 8 minutes. Or am I reading too much into it!?

My 6 y/o is unwell and has just fallen asleep watching 'Burger Story'. That's the burger shop set up in the bath b/c the kids are delaying bedtime.

I get teary at all the ones mentioned here. Now DS is asleep (during the day! What a treat!) I'm going to watch:

Pizza Girls- Muffin gets a battery-operated Jeep and fangs it around Bluey's house

Dad Baby- Bandit tries on the old baby-carrier, Bingo climbs in and Bandit gives birth to her in a paddling pool, with help from Lucky's Dad.

Phones- Grandad visits and doesn't get how to play 'Restaurant' using a phone. But gets his curried sausages in the end 😍

Brilliant show it is!

Obviously huge bluey fan here. My DD is only 1 so pays no interest past the theme song 😂 but I still watch it.

The only annoying thing is having the edited / missing episodes on Disney plus. The proper unedited eps are way better, but require watching through dodgy means 😂

Interested in this thread?

Army - my absolute favourite. Captures how SEN can affect the children. That episode just won it for me.

I ick a bit at dad baby and can't watch but that's a me thing I have tokophobia (fear of natural childbirth)

Sticky gecko - so accurate!

And I love how their car is a total mess. Shows real life lol.

I was gobsmacked to realised that both the kids were girls lol I thought bluey wad a boy until I actually sat and watched some episodes assuming that she had the same colours as her dad because she was a boy (not because blue means boy)

Just watched Dance Mode. So good, and the best part is that the Post Office Dog is voiced by Anthony Fields, the original Blue Wiggle.

I crack up every time his doggy character says to Bandit "Mate, if you could just stop dancing for a second" 😂

Oh I love Bluey.

Besides the greatness mentioned, I need to express my love for Lucky's Dad!

"No worries Bluey, I shouldn't have let my guard down.." in Asparagus is my favourite line in the whole show 🤣

"Ha! Nice mullet, Bandit! Aaaahahaha!" in Sheepdog 🤣

Just every episode where he mucks in... Featherwand, Magic, Dad Baby, whooping at Chilli in Dance Mode, Stumpfest - he's so good!

As a side character, Wendy's reactions to everything also crack me up!

Faceytime is just so brilliant. Makes me laugh so much when the cousin (Muffin?) is legging it round the house with the contraband phone and then when the parents are arguing, and Bandit is trying to mute them, they’re just cycling through all the random functions on a face time call.
