- Back with another Bluey video - probably my last for a while. After all the feedback and comments from the Sleepytime video, I wanted to provide the various reasons this show is so comforting to everyone. Let me know what you think!
I spent a lot of time with this, gathering clips, recording, editing especially (I definitely need a new laptop), and more - so if you like the video, drop a like and comment below!
Also, if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask down below. I appreciate the support!

I watch it cuz its healing my inner child. I grew up in an abusive home so seeing these parents never yell or hit their kids. Seeing them embrace & cherish parts of the kids that I was once punished for is healing.
It's wild what stories can do for the soul
Sending hugs mate 🤗🥺
Same dude, plus my parents HATED each other! Seeing parents love each other and kiss on screen felt so strange to me.
Fun fact, Bluey is shown only in colors that real dogs can see.
I saw my first episode of Bluey on a long-haul flight international flight. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. I was a 69 year old guy at the time and I was smitten by it. It cheered my boredom and made me long for home. Home is Brisbane, Australia. That's where Bluey is made and set. If you come from Brisbane you will recognise the style of house and some of the outdoor locations.
One day I asked my mom if she wanted to watch Bluey one day and all she said was "No, I'm not a five year old." About a week later I asked her again and she just sighed and gave me the remote. I made her watch Sticky Gecko, Housework, Promises and of course Rain. The first three she chuckled a few times and would say it was a cute episode. At the end of Rain though, she had a HUGE smile on her face and said that it was really sweet. I gave her a look of, 'told you it was a good show.'
You have guts of steel bro
Wait until she sees Sleepytime
@@Miro.A.Mursu-omg my dad nearly cried watching that episode
as most of the episodes involve everyday situations it is easy to identify, the show also shows a very fun dynamic between the characters.
and the fact that parents are affectionate with their daughters and give them comfort when they need it, makes me so happy because I didn't have that when I was a child.
The scene where john luke and bluey meet again after so many years legit brought tears to my eyes in camping.
Bluey gave me the childhood I never had. My mom was too busy to pay attention to me. Dad wasn't around, and my brother and I never got along. This show gives me a way to relive my childhood in a happy and healthy way, and that's why it's so comforting to me. I relate to much to Muffin, and Bingo is just like little kid me. It gives me a way to step back and be a kid again.
Muffin Lowkey is one of my favorite characters - you just never know what's gonna happen in the episodes with Muffin.
@@itsalexpierceI love muffin too. She can be a bit bratty but in a likable way. Good thing she’s not anything like Angelica Pickles and I compare cuz they’re both 3.😂
i'm a 23 year old with no kids and i watch bluey religiously. at first i started watching it after my epilepsy diagnosis because my neurologist recommended it as nice colors and easy plot so it can help slow down my brain function when i'm overwhelmed/overstimulated but it's so much more than that now. i live in a high stress, abusive household so watching the gentle parenting play out and the way the kids respond is so healing. i can't imagine a family that doesn't hit or yell so escaping into bluey is nice. seeing my siblings in the kids in the show is just extra special that endears me to it further and putting it on helps calm them down when nothing else will.
I don't have kids too and I NEVER WILL, but I LOVE this show with ALL MY HEART, I JUST REALLY REALLY WISH I could leave my world behind and go and live in the WONDERFUL WORLD that is Bluey. ☺
It also makes me happy that there are other fans of this show who don't have kids themselves! ☺
Bluey legitimately calms my mind.
Was feeling super bitter and was super annoyed by everything. Got home and watched a few random episodes of Bluey. And I was completely relaxed.
It legitimately made the rest of my day better, more calm.
I appreciated your mention of people who had difficult parents and childhoods commenting about how Bluey is cathartic for them in a really positive way. That's beautiful.
Yeah of course! I wasn't expecting so many people to comment, and I was so appreciative of the honesty and openness in there.
Even though Chili is my ultimate mom goals, she is the standard for me to aspire to but will never attain.
Bluey is so heartwarming, i love the color pallete of the series, the characters, the actors are perfect, the story and the life lessons in every episode, and I feel like i'm gonna cry with every episode, like an uncle i love this show and thanks to my niece im a huge fan, BLUEY is wholesome and perfect. Everytime i watch Sleepytime, daddy dropoff and the one with Chilli and her dad, my heart is broken but at the same time i feel happy and nice... Good video man!
Thanks! I have a whole video on Sleepytime if you haven't seen it!
It's really struck a chord with a lot of people - me included, obviously.
This show gives me so much comfort because of the reason why it gives many other people comfort, healing my inner child.
I really relate with Bingo in particular because I was a sensitive child, and although my mom was very nice and comforting for me, my dad would constantly invalidate my feelings. And my mom and dad are seperated, so growing up, I switched between their households every week.
But, one episode that isnt much of a favorite for many people, but really gets me as someone who really relates to Bingo is "Dance Mode". When Bandit accidentally takes the chip that Bingo had been saving, and Bingo gets upset and Bandit apologizes and offers a way to make it up to Bingo. But I know that if it were me as a child and my dad in that situation, my dad would tell me that I'm overreacting and that I should just shut up about it. So seeing Bandit actually validate and acknowledge Bingo's feelings after he accidentally stole the chip was so healing for me to see..
Just Bingo and Bandit's relationship in general brings me a lot of comfort.
This show has become a huge obsession for me because it helps me get out of any mental slump I’m in. They really crafted a perfect show with this.
I like to play 'born yesterday'
Where I sit somewhere and stay
Stare around for a minute or five
You'll see everything really is alive
Honestly life without the distraction of technology is wonderous
It feels like it because I love watching kids full of joy it makes me cry out of happiness
The thing is that I didn’t grow up in a broken household, but it just makes me feel warm and safe. I love it. Also Mackenzie is the goat
"warm and safe"
@@itsalexpierce what? Did I say something wrong
@@Conordavefoster nah it was a nice way of putting it!
@@itsalexpierce oh thank god, I thought you were laughing at me
@@Conordavefoster nah dude. You commented on my video about bluey haha, why would I tease?
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think this video is right, Bluey is a comfort show for me (18 year old guy) when I have panic attacks/ when I need to calm down
I would love for some individual episode breakdowns like you did with sleepytime. Would definitely come back and watch that
Camping and Rain are my two favorite episodes lol, the comments have good taste
It’s a really minor detail, but the episode where Bandit and Chili are hungover but still making sure their kids are taken care of really struck a nerve for me. My dad was a pretty nasty alcoholic growing up so it was nice seeing an example of parents drinking while still being responsible and loving towards their children.
Yeah I love how attentive they are, they even double check and make sure the kids are done with the whale stuff for good when they go off into the other room
i dont have kids or parents and i love this show
For the Q&A, What other kids shows do you find enjoyable? Old or new. Personally I've always loved the lore and first 7 seasons of Thomas And Friends.
I'll add it to the list :)
you should make more videos talking about kids shows! it’s super interesting to hear your perspective as a parent ❤
Just going off off the simple beauty of how this video was structured and how you talked about the show, I thought you had a lot more subs. 100% agree with everything you said and it's especially interesting to hear your perspective as a young parent :) i don't have any kids but me and my partner love watching the show. Just immense comfort, it's genuine perfection
Thanks so much! I actually have another video about Bluey on my channel, if you wanna check it out!
And yeah I'm still definitely new to this, especially at the consistency of my uploads haha. But thanks again!
@@itsalexpierce of course! I'll be sure to check it out :)
Cool, much appreciated
It's organic. Teaching lessons in a way that just feels real. It has done it better than any other show. You do good video essays. You should keep it going. Q&A What maid you want to give the style a try. There's so much contrast between you're general channel, then that video. I love it. I'd love to see more like it.
I watch Bluey because it reminds me of my childhood, it’s pretty nostalgic and opened my eyes and made me realize that my parents are so freaking awesome, I love them
That's good to hear! Have they seen it?
@@itsalexpierce We actually watched it just today, they really liked it! They look forward to watch some more episodes hehe
@@mrasbestos9127 right on!
For me, it’s because of the nostalgia. I lived in Canberra, Australia from when I was 5 to when I was 8 years old, the same age as the heeler kids
What'd you think of the Bandit flashback episode?
@@itsalexpierce I really enjoyed it 😂 my friends and I used to jinx each other all the time.
Also just the idea of having a vacation location was somewhat nostalgic, as my family used to vacation in Yarrawonga when we were down under
6:43 OOOOOHHHHHHH, I get it now!! Cuz he looks like a Snickers bar
I mean honestly just cause they're brown and black and same shape lol
i went threw a lot of abuse so i feel thats y lol though at times watching bluey im get like weird ptsd and im like i would have had my ASS BEAT if i even THOUGHT about doing A QUATER OF THIS
Dang that really sucks, I'm sorry. Try to do it now then!
this video is amazing. for the q and a, what’s your daughters favourite episode and or character(s)?
Thank you :) and I'll add it to the list. #1 haha
@@itsalexpierce thanks man :)
This how Helped me so much :D Glad I gave it a chance
Yeah - I'm still surprised at how good it is
I'm honestly disappointed that at the end of rug island, it wasn't a snake in the package.
I take it as the girls gave Bandit the one tool to make everything that mattered on the island world.. but still he was able to remain youthful and have fun with them.
@@itsalexpierce I get that but I personally think it just would have been funnier. I still like the og ending tho
@@hattithenerd wait there's an OG ending to rug island??
@10:42 Some people on Twitter need to hear this.
Now they'll never know ;)
Shh don't tell CZcams
Hey Alex, you are a truly passionate creator. Your essay on this video brought me to tears of joy. Thank you!
Thanks so much :) I needed that!
u cant play the soundtrack to Sleepytime at the END! i cant see the video cuz im full of tears
I have a video specifically about Sleepytime on my channel!
@@itsalexpierce ik i saw it, it was amazing
@@OKGAMERKIDD thanks! There's definitely lots of things I'd change about it looking back at it, but I appreciate the praise.
WWBD?
what would bandit do?
The best rule to live by
Comin from a group not really liked, the ABDL group and fandom and stuff, it's just a cute show. I had a good home life but I still have an inner child and since my sister was 10 years older than me, it wasn't really easily to do so many things like this, but I enjoy the show because it brings out my inner child and better moments.
First comment
