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 thought Bluey was a boy and Bingo was a girl?

No, they're both girls. Incidentally, when I said that to my 8 year old DSS he was clearly puzzled and spent a good few minutes reckoning with the fact that surely at least one of the main characters MUST be a boy. It just made me love it even more.

Bluey is a firm favourite in our house! Along side go jetters, Peter rabbit and octonaughts 😁

The kids like them too!

prideslide · 06/09/2021 12:24

Is this some kind of sick joke? Bluey is so lovely, funny and warm and shows a real modern family. Peppa is fine but nothing compared to bluey!

I can’t listen to this rubbish!

Interesting. It may have gone up a little in my estimation now.

YABVU OP!

Bluey is the best.

My Tumble can fuck off though, along with Peppa!

PolytheneRam · 06/09/2021 12:30

It's awful. I also hate Bing and strongly dislike Peppa Pig. Waffle the Wankerdog should be fucking put down.

SpanielPlusToddler · 06/09/2021 12:31

We all love Bluey, kids and adults. Like a PP we’ve adopted quite a few sayings from Bluey into real life- a ‘bush wee’ and a ‘tactical wee’!

Carameljack · 06/09/2021 12:31

Sticky Gecko is the best episode! Whoever wrote that must have experience of trying to get kids out of the house on time.

RiversideAnne · 06/09/2021 12:34

Bluey is infinitely superior to peppa pig! Peppa’s a little madam to boot.

SoundBar · 06/09/2021 12:37

@thingymaboob has it.

OP what episode did you watch? Try 1 more!

dottymac · 06/09/2021 12:38

We bloody love it! Stories are different and a bit of dry wit -cant wait for the next series!

thetesdybears · 06/09/2021 12:38

I love it and the wee tune at the start.

Peppa oh she can go F off!

SwanShaped · 06/09/2021 12:41

Bluey is a girl?? It’s a very boring show. Even the kids find it boring.

Wallabyone · 06/09/2021 12:42

What?! We love Bluey!

I had a little tear in my eye this morning as my children were watching the episode 'Baby Race'.

I love that my three kids (2, 6, 9) all enjoy it.
My 9 year old started a game of shadowlands with his sibling yesterday Smile

Dragonpox · 06/09/2021 12:42

I've only watched a few episodes but it seems too fast or something, fine for the adults but I'm not sure how much my 2yo was really taking in or understanding. He seems to prefer timmy the confused sheep.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 06/09/2021 12:43

Are you trolling us OP? Grin

Bluey is excellent!

blaisealex · 06/09/2021 12:43

Wow! I had no idea bluey was a girl! This is news to me. I like it just a little bit more now but tbh I'm not that keen actually! I don't like Peppa either or Go Jetters. My favourite kids show is Bing! I just love Flop. And Waffle is a great show too.

Hugsgalore · 06/09/2021 12:44

I absolutely love Bluey. I enjoyed every episode myself.

Peppard pig is a pile of shite that really should be taken off TV. I cannot understand why any parent would allow their child to watch it.

RhodaDendron · 06/09/2021 12:44

Peppa Pig OP? Christ on a bike.

Costumeidea · 06/09/2021 12:45

Watch Sleepytime then come back here and apologise OP!!

It’s a beautiful programme. There are morals and messages that aren’t shoved down your throat, no reinforcing of traditional gender roles, it’s hilarious and has spawned some fabulous catchphrases in our house.

How dare thee compare it to the inferior Peppa Pig!

Love Bluey as does my daughter. She dances and sings along to the theme tune!

Bing on the other hand..
