I’m pretty envious, what a lovely life 😩

Our dog is called Chilly, Chilly Boy and Chill (we mix it up). He's such a happy little chappy. I sometimes wish I was Chilly too...

Do you mean Bluey's mum? I would hate to be married to Bandit. So annoying and always centering himself in the kids' play.

I know a bandit and he seems super fun dad on first few meets. After a year or so you realise he's mansplaining parenting and is so fucking irritating. Glad he's not my dh!

I have a 4 year old and I didn’t know. I’ve seen the show once and found it intensely irritating. It strikes me as something for adults, not children. The characters are completely aggravating.

TBF to OP . I think that's just you.

Another one. Can someone start a separate thread for the moody folk?

Not moody. Hadn’t realised it was for an ‘in’ crowd. Happy to share a light hearted thread if I’m told the context. Others explained this, thankfully.

Chilli…Chilli Heeler,

Are you really this obtuse or are you trying deliberately to be annoying?

Isn’t it fairly obvious! Chilli Heeler.

It’ll only be obvious to people who’ve watched Bluey 🤣 my kids are far to old but I put it on for the dog if I’m going out, I often find myself watching it when I get in! I love it, Muffin cracks me up

I love Bluey. Its such a wholesome wonderful show that has definitely reduced me, an adult, to tears (Onesie episode and baby race get me every damn time)

But the thing i HATE is that bloody Bandit has set unrealistic play expectations... my 4 year old now expects me to drop everything to turn my whole living room into a resturant and play with him...

Scenario: See an intriguing thread… click on it to find out more - realise you don’t have a clue what it means.

Do you:

a) angrily comment on said thread, blaming OP for your lack of knowledge.
b) shrug and move on, it’s not your thing so find a different thread.
c) can’t beat em? Join em - look it up, maybe even watch a clip of Bluey and find out who Chilli is.

there are a couple of answers here that indicate a well-adjusted human and one answer that does not….

So many people need to update their parenting cultural reference points. If you're still refencing 90s girl group TLC you are out of date....

Clearly not obvious, or people wouldn’t need to ask…

Because offering up the surname of a cartoon character is STILL meaningless to those who don't know the cartoon.

No one is telling you you aren't allowed, but people don't have to write 3 page back stories to explain a thread because someone has no idea about it but feels they have a right to be made to understand it just so they can be disparaging about it

"To wish I was Chilli from Bluey"

2 words is not 3 pages though is it?

So what? You don’t know who it is. Either Google it or go to another thread.

Perhaps read some of the other comments. It's been explained numerous times and still people come filled with RAGE that they haven't personally had the reference explained to them.

Or you could Google it.

Or you could just find a thread on a subject you can follow more easily.

PaddlerRock · 30/07/2026 17:33

I thought it was going to be about chilli from TLC!

Your patronising comments aside, I meant that just posting the surname of the character doesn’t in itself help. I know from the other comments what the OP is referring to - but ‘Chilli from Bluey’ would have made more sense than just adding the surname.

Please point out who is in a ‘rage’ about this? What an odd take…
