I really fucking hate Bluey

It's dreadful. Like a poor-man's Peppa Pig. The dad is a grumpy bastard. It's like he has a hangover or something. It is incredibly boring. Am very disappointed as I liked the idea of a female protaganist. I like that Bluey doesn't have eyelashes to show the audience she is female. But ugh. So dull. AIBU to ban it forever?

I hate them both.

Beeme is the best.

Bananarama101 · 06/09/2021 11:51

Possibly the most shocking thing I've ever read on here

Wagglerock · 06/09/2021 11:52

Are you watching the right program? Bluey is great, bonus jokes for the parents too.

aSofaNearYou · 06/09/2021 11:53

I love the dad! He fully invests in the games and make-believe, even when he's busy!

I agree, the dad is a really great role model.

Now Bing on the other hand...

EmbarrassingMama · 06/09/2021 11:57

Go home OP, you're drunk.

SylvanasWindrunner · 06/09/2021 11:57

YABVU! Bluey is brilliant!

Pebbledashery · 06/09/2021 11:58

I love Bluey but the dad is a bit oh a dickhead.

Don't even mention that pathetic excuse for a rabbit!

Op are you on glue?!

We all love Bluey in this house!!!

FooFighter99 · 06/09/2021 12:01

Are you on glue @Hag4life???

Bluey is by far and away the BEST kids cartoon I've ever seen, and I have cried laughing at it (S1 Ep2 Hospital had me in absolute stiches!!)

It's such a heartwarming and beautifully written programme, are you sure you're watching the right thing?

Persephoned · 06/09/2021 12:03

Oh god, I thought you were talking about Cormoran Strike. Is that you Charlotte?

Agreed. This thread has actually ruined my Monday!
possibleimpossible · 06/09/2021 12:05

Oh no yabvu. Bluey is amazing, on par with Hey Duggee in this house.
Peppa is a cheeky cow and on a completely different level.

hardboiledeggs · 06/09/2021 12:08

YABU Bluey is awesome! Peppa is a spoilt little shit and Daddy pig is useless.

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 06/09/2021 12:09

Bluey is amazing! On a completely different level to Peppa Pig.

As a family we have adopted many phrases from Bluey. Before bed my children go for a 'tactical wee'
If they can't sit still we say (in accent' you have bum worms.
And we also say 'aww I love you Babe' in the way they say it in the mother's day one!

YABU! Bluey is amazing!

RuggerHug · 06/09/2021 12:10

The Bluey episode where muffin skips a nap and is acting like a miniature drunk is perfection. Peppa is shit. Bluey is whackadoo.

Oh my goodness! Hey Duggee is also amazing!
AndAllOurYesterdays · 06/09/2021 12:14

Bluey is excellent! It's the most realistic portrayal of what life is like with tiny kids is that I've ever seen on TV (cartoon dogs not withstanding). The one where they get a take away is hilarious and so close to home. I love how involved the dad is with the kids and the household chores, and how the 'moral' if the episode isn't rammed down the kids' throats ala Bing.

I won't let mine watch Peppa. She's so rude to poor Daddy Pig.

ParadiseLaundry · 06/09/2021 12:14

@EmbarrassingMama

Go home OP, you're drunk.

I thought Bluey was a boy and Bingo was a girl?

I'm not a massive fan of Bluey but it's hard to imaging anything worse than Peppa Pig TBH.

AllyBama · 06/09/2021 12:18

I think you’re watching the wrong show OP. The dad is literally never ‘a grumpy old bastard’. In fact he puts most of us to shame and makes our normal parenting feel sub par. I love it though! I think you may have been looking in the mirror perhaps?

PaleGreenGhost · 06/09/2021 12:18

Agree with PP that Hospital is an amazing episode. It kills me when they chuck the octopus back in.

Bluey is the best. It encourages imaginative games that are fun and free. I really relate to the dad's sense of humour and the way he takes every joke to it's logical conclusion, finding himself really funny in the process. I love how the parents are really engaged but also you can tell when they're exhausted and want to do something else ("I'll play any game as long as I don't have to move or say anything").

I also love that it is about two sisters without making a big deal out of it and that the two sisters aren't drowning in a sea of pink and purple princess toys. They're just normal, fun kids.

WillaWeatherspoon · 06/09/2021 12:20

I love Bluey - the Dad is very similar to my DH with his silly games Grin. It's very relatable.
Hey Duggee, Go Jetters and Octonauts are also excellent. That blasted pig is banned in our house because she's vile. And fat-shaming. And rude. And a bad friend.

PaleGreenGhost · 06/09/2021 12:20

And yes Takeaway. The way everything unravels into chaos and of course the outdoor wee that Bingo needs is the longest ever.
