Something that makes me happy is the reduction of violence in parenting. Even as a 22 year old, pretty much all my friends were smacked at least once as kids. Now, my friends are becoming parents and the idea of smacking their kids is incomprehensible. I'm hopeful for kids in the future living with gentle parents and no violence whatsoever ❤️
Agreed. Though, I don't want future kids to be neglected just because of technological conveniences either.
There's nothing wrong with spanking a kid for acting out, because it teaches them that actions have consequences
@@connoranderson1419 it should only be done as a final punishment imo. Scolding, taking stuff away, and grounding should be done first.
@@connoranderson1419 I believe they more mean the excessive punishment. I.e. spankings for more or less anything, belts, sometimes even emotional abuse. It's much less prominent because parents realize kids are.. Sometimes just hard to control. Punishing them isn't always the best course of action.
@@connoranderson1419 there are much better ways to do that, taking away a loved item temporarily or forcing them to do chores both accomplish the same thing without normalizing violence and hurting your child physically and emotionally
bluey is such a good show and it’s great to see it getting the praise it deserves.
Agreed👏👏👏
I saw a clip and thought it was adult comedy, because of the Aussie accents
It’s a show for everyone love it ❤
Bluey makes me want to be a better dad. It is a better parenting show than a kids' show and it is the best kids' show around.
Coincidence that I started watching the show to help me practice Spanish. Really great show and I agree on him being a good Dad.
As a father I am regularly drawn out and occasionally animated.
How's your kid?
@@nickyb5851 Thanks for asking, the sequel is a definite high note for this particular franchise.

I don’t know you personally, but I think that’s a really clever joke about parenthood!
Hi, Regularlydrawnoutandoccasionallyanimated! I'm dad.
One of the best examples of the Boomer Dad is Hank Hill, now he may be stubborn and generally naive to the changing modern world. But he is a man of principle and despite the fact he dosn't always understand his son Bobby. The two of them manage to reach some common groud and one usually teaches the other. Honestly, the KOTH episodes focused on Hank and Bobby are usually the most wholesome in the show.
That boy ain't right
Perfect example
I once saw a slightly cursed but sweet comic where a grown up Bobby Hill was giving Bart Simpson and Chris Griffin couples therapy. Both were explaining how horrible their dads are, and then after they left Bobby wistfully thanked his dad for being such a good dad, even if he didn't always understand him. It was one of the most confusing things emotionally that i've ever read
@@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness Oh yeah I know what you're talking about... honestly, I think of it as a pretty good deconstruction of some TV shows
@@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness then he went home to his lovely boyfriend and girlfriend and was very thankful about his father.
Yeah I read it too unironically recommend it
The _stupid, irresponsible father_ trope is much older than Homer Simpson. It goes back as far as Fred Flintstone at least, but I agree that Homer made it so inescapable in pop culture that several almost direct clones came up like Peter Griffin and American Dad.
I personally hate that it's hung around and even been exaggerated for so long. Characters like Homer used to actually have nuance but his character traits slowly watered down to
-alcoholic
-abuses son
-idiot
-lazy slob
He used to have so many moments of being wise and articulate and genuinely caring, but nowadays they tend to just override any of that if it makes for a funny joke.
@@stuff31 I heard that they’ve been making him nicer in the latest seasons.
I'm so glad they're moving away from that. It just gave out a series of unfortunate implications that men will always be useless at parenting because they are childish slobs while the women would be always be the domestic nag out of necessity and be forced to stay married to such idiots to keep up appearances or worse, "for the sake of children" even though such an awful marriage makes everyone unhappy.
I can't even watch Peter Griffin.
Bob Belcher is more my speed.
I'd argue that Stan Smith (American Dad) is more in line with the detached/strict father role. However, it definitely comes from him being a hardcore Republican (i.e., strong family values from the 1950s).
There was an episode dedicated to Stan and Francine (his wife) raising clones of Steve (their son). Stan's clone became perfect academically and physically but also an unhappy sociopath. That clone also kidnapped the other Steve for a more carefree upbringing with the mom.
Also, at least when Stan is in the wrong, he's called out on it and learns a lesson.
Millenial non-parent here and the first time I saw Bluey was in a hospital waiting room at like, 4am lol Gotta say while watching it as my boyfriend screamed from the bathroom due to the painful kidney stones he was dealing with, that it was a pretty damn good show and made me wish I had parents like Bluey has while I was growing up.
That's making me imagine that you were in the children's section of a hospital (or a children's hospital) and they had Disney Junior on one of the TVs, since you mentioned 4 AM and IIRC, CBeebies (UK) and ABC Kids (Australia) don't run 24/7.
I discovered Bluey through a bot that posted clips out of episodes ripped from ABC iview, fell in love with the series as it reminded me of my (usually) annual trips to Perth, and later saw part of the intro and an episode when I passed by a shop that happened to sell pay TV piracy boxes, where they had a demo of one that was playing the US feed of Disney Junior. I won't be surprised if we both saw that episode it at the same time, as it was afternoon in Singapore when I saw it, assuming you live in a state that follows Eastern time when not observing DST, as Eastern Standard Time (UTC-4) in the US is directly opposite of Singapore (UTC+8)
It's good to be like Bluey's dad but also alittle strict and firm I feel is a good mix. I noticed when the parents be like Bluey's dad the kids be really happy but then when they grow up their not ready for the world and how mean real life can be. I teach my kids to not trust everyone because there are some evil ppl in the world that have the biggest smiles.
is your boyfriend good?
@@bubadeggs Yep! Was just a kidney stone.
@@RadicalYue hope his peepee still works fine
i’m not a parent but i’ve babysat children who love bluey before and i’m shocked at how much i genuinely laugh at jokes. and the highest rated episode on imdb absolutely deserves it. good show
There's always a handful of these shows during any time period. Animanics, Steven universe, Looney Tunes. All absolutely brilliant for adults and kids.
@@janedoe3043 Those are 3 of my favorite cartoons. Yes, Steven Universe too. I know it's not for everyone but don't judge me.
@@janedoe3043 ah yes. Animaniacs. A show able to cover wacky concepts and also Able to Teach you about the world map and discord mods!
I never understood why Steven Universe suddenly went from beloved to randomly disliked by a bunch of very vocal people seemingly overnight. It's so delightful and well written- the tone, sense of kindness and self-awareness of the characters even actually strongly reminds me of Bluey, in a way.
BLUEY 😢😢😢 that show is genius, and I concur, many dads in animation were like “he ain’t that smart but he’s at least trying with the bare minimum” from what I watched as a kid, I’m glad the future generations are being exposed to better examples and future parents are taking notes.
the analysis of bluey kinda bummed me out… it sounds like it's a really good show, but i've heard multiple rants from the parents of the kids i nanny about how the parents are "too childish" and stuff like that. there's a lot i wish i could say to them about gentle parenting in general, cause they seem like they're on the right track for the most part. but every once in a while the ol conservative upbringing shows itself and i never know what to say
@@marnenotmarnie259 Honestly. Chili and Bandot are very good depictions of parents, it's just that: They enjoy playing with their toddler and young kid whenever they ask
@@neigeshusband5327 yeah it seems like it! obviously there will be times when you can't drop everything and play with them, but if what's stopping you is that you don't want to look childish, you probably just have a pride problem.
Honestly bluey is a masterpiece.
@@Kleinshooti Nah it's the most overrated show
Bluey is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to preschool shows as everything feels genuine. Nothing feels forced or in your face and it just such a calming and fun cartoon that I will sit down and watch every so often when my younger brother is watching it.
Eddy's description of Bluey reminds me a lot of the parenting episodes of Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Good stuff.
@@PongoXBongo yeah :D overall there are still tons of great shows and cartoons for younger kids that even adults/parents can enjoy
It would have been interesting to see you potentially dive in to how Gen Z may be showcased as fathers in future media.
Scavenging in a post-collapse society I guess.
@@nihilego3634 pretty much
Gen x lite. More optimistic. Trying to move past trauma and neglet, dealing with toxic masculinity and wondering if there's even any answers to parenting. Being very hands on but not strict and being open minded while still being critical. Realizing that kids will be kids and kids are little demons but they're our demons and we can always do what we can. Very casual.
Realizing that our kids need us involved but not overbearing. They will be thier own person with or without us. That our wives are more than capable but aren't superhuman.
A lot more "alternative familes". I hate that term. LGBTQ+, blended, single parent, mixed race, and multicultural families will probably be new storylines in shows. Fathers understanding that their kids ARE different from them and will have different experiences and that's OK.
But this all speculation. Conservative or old fashioned attitudes will always persist but I feel that every generation is united by the feeling of "it ends here". We will leave this place better than it started.
I have to imagine it'll be very affected by history in the next 10 years. The oldest gen z are only just becoming parents now so what happens in the world in the future will drastically impact younger gen z when they become parents. But generally I would have to agree with what @John indigo said
@@nihilego3634 Average father in Megaton.
Bob from bobs burgers is probably my favorite cartoon dad mainly because he can be pretty wholesome but also blunt/honest when he needs to be. it's helped by the way the show often shares screentime between the whole family instead of mainly focusing on the kids or whatever specific character in a certain episode.
I didn't know this show was about "why Bluey is great", but I'm here for it.
I like to watch a few episodes sometimes. I look at it and go "Wow, these children will NOT grow up with deep mental scars that will never heal and leave them fighting mental illness for the rest of their lives." That idea of a family like that warms my heart.
It's worth noting that the Golden Generation (parents of Baby Boomers), feel they spoiled the Baby Boomers. There's an interview from the 1970s of these parents, discussing how they feel they gave their children too much in a desperation to make certain they didn't suffer the way they did, both at the hands of their own parents, and through events like the Great Depression and World War 2.
Frank from F is for Family is a great example of this
I grew up with young gen X parents, who where great parents.
When I was old enough (like 8) they made me stay up late because I kept begging them, and when I did, I realized "oh, this isn't that fun" and so, I never had a required bedtime anymore, and had to kind of figure it out myself, they never forced me to do anything that wasn't extreme, they just said "sure, you can stay up late, but do know it's not that fun as you think." Which made me learn the consequences, i didnt even had to trick my mom to buy me movies for older kids, she just said "sure, but its pretty scary." , and in my opinion, that was the best parenting they could give me (:
Agree. The "Beware the consequences" type of parenting is the best one I've heard of. Ofc, you still need to watch for the kid to not chop his fingerprints (happened to me, it attached back, but that sht still hurts)
Same, my parents are Gen X. Love them very much, so glad I have them as my family 😌
As an Australian, Bluey is so important to me and I adore how everyone’s portrayed in it. I occasionally watch the show with my kid sister, and Bandit and Chilli remind me so much of my own parents, not just because of cultural similarities but how they act, given they’re about the same age as my own
dude same!
except my sibs don't like it much 😭😭😭
Same!
Bluey reminds me a lot of my childhood and I have became more greatful for the parents I have
I love them so much
Bandit is definitely a late Gen Xer. Given that he was 10 years old the year Double Dragon came out (1988) in the 80s, which is directly referenced in the episode, he would be about 44 now.
I think he is suppose to represent a millennial parent. It’s relatable to people in their early 30s that have young kids like me.
I think the term for that is a Xennial. It's a microgen that bridges the gap between the Gen X and Millennial. I know I feel more in line with them myself but I'm a late millennial
@@urahara64360 Also referred to as the 'Oregon Trail' Generation. :)
My mom is a late Baby Boomer but fits Gen X parenting stereotypes FAR MORE than Boomer ones. Like Eddy said, there are a lot of caveats to the discrete bounds between generations.
All these generations are just made up marketing demographics, anyway. In real life, people can't be divided into such broad categories and stereotypes fairly.
why did i start crying at your summary of a bluey episode about a bird dying. and then about you collecting rocks with your son. i think im just crying about dads now. i love my dad
i thought i was the only one
1:19 Silent generation mostly fought in the Korean war and onwards because oldest Silent was 17 in 1945. You probably meant their predecessors, the Greatest generation, who fought in WW2. For example, Abe Simpson (at least originally) was part of the Greatest generation.
I think Bill from Big City Greens is a very well done and complex TV character. he is a bit oafish and stubborn, but he balances that out with genuine intelligence and care for his family. (Also disability representation, because of his missing finger)
I don't really know if missing a finger is a disability
@@orangegradient4309 It may not look like a lot but a missing finger would really interfere with dexterity
@@orangegradient4309 it might not be as debilitating or stigmatised as other disabilites but it definitely is one. Even needing to wear glasses is a disability, its just one thats societally normalised.
@@Siennarchist yeah that makes sense
@@orangegradient4309 It's not as attention grabbing to people as a missing eye or arm, but a missing finger is still a physical disability. A disability is any impediment to "normal" function. Granted, he probably wouldn't be able to any compensation for it as it actually doesn't impede his livelihood, only really his fine motor control in that one hand.
My family and extended family are all to aware of bluey. So when my Uncle walks up to his guy friends and here’s them all saying “Maaannnnn, every time I watch that show I feel like a bad dad by comparison” he interjects and says “are you guys talking about Bluey? :)”. And they all said yes 😂
I'm 20 years old with no kids, and I watch Bluey every so often
maybe its because my mental health has gone down the tubes in recent months and Bluey is the only thing keeping me from losing it completely
Mental sanity is overrated
@@justtherabbithole2577 I am going to be the only one to reply to this comment okay? It's probably just an edgelord kid so don't spread toxic behaviour. Just ignore this comment especially the commenter themselves. Just note that you shouldn't take this to heart.
*hug* Mental health is a journey, and one no two of us truly share. My hope is for you to be able to eventually have the mental space to feel better again. Is it an easy journey? Not really. It’s going to be full of ups and downs. But you can get there.
25 and recovering, but same. I discovered Bluey during a very dark time fairly recently and watching episodes was one of the things that helped me come back to an ok place. I hope the same happens for you soon. ♥️
Dude I get it. I’m 20 too. Sometimes I even cry because of hood of parents bandit and chili are 😭😭😭
I’ve come to very much appreciate how Bandit is a pure mixture of the past and the now, not so stern to use old tactics but also very open to learning and growing with the know of the old which I can appreciate, not only that with the generation growing from these lessons from Bluey it could really rise to be a new format that’s not overly judgemental on how parenting is.
It really makes me want to be similar to Bandit too.
Now this is the content I’ve been waiting for, gotta love some eddache.
That was some real wholesome content :)
Its so incredibly sweet hearing how bluey changed your thinking when your kid picked up a rock. I'm glad that turned into a great moment
I'm so glad you brought up Bluey as an example for writing parent characters. More people need to see it. I literally just finished all of the episodes that are available here in the states and loved every bit of it, primarily because of how well the adults are written, and I'm not even a parent myself.
Every voiceline and appearance of Rik put a big goofy smile on my face.
Don't ever think you're not enough of a father, Eddie. You can always do better, but that doesn't mean you aren't already doing great.
13:43
THIS. My mom has NEVER admitted a mistake or even said "sorry" to me for something she did, and it has absolutely made it seem like she doesn't care about me. When I tell her that she's hurt or upset me in some way, all she does is play defensive or victim-blame me, which has sent the message that my emotions, feelings, or opinions are irrelevant to her.
Is she a narcissist?
Might want to check out some videos with Dr. Ramani on dealing with a narcissist parent. It might help.

Thanks!
@@ob2kenobi388 - My pleasure!
Good luck!
Bluey makes me feel better as a dad. Unlike other shows for kids where parents are perfect role models that know all the answers, seeing Bandit and Chili mess up and admit faults to their kids makes me feel valid. I won't have all the answers or know what I'm doing. But, it's Gotta be done.
This just feels like a Bluey appreciation post and I am all for it
I'm 22 and I watched Bluey for the first time when it was just on TV. And I found myself emotionally invested in the show.
Me too! I stayed up at night watching some episodes of Bluey on TV when I was at my dad and step mom's house. The show makes me so emotional.
So glad to see Bluey examined in such an intricate way. It's one of the best kids cartoons in recent years and as someone about to turn 18 I relate so much to both the kids and the parents.
Not gonna lie, Bandit Heeler is probably one of the best cartoon fathers in my opinion.
Facts!
Bandit is my hero, and DELIGHTED he gets so much love. Exactly what a modern dad should (hopefully) look like. I try my very best to be like him every day for my two lads. Cracking content as always.
We all know Richard Waterson is the #1 dad when it comes to Cartoon Fathers
True
True but the best Father in all of fiction is KRATOS
@@WSendam *BOY*
Really? My mom HATES him
No. He definitely is not. He's stupid, lazy, and irresponsible. Funny in a show, but not good in the parental sense.
That story about your sons rock collection almost made me cry tears of joy, as someone with a bad relationship with his father that was just so beautiful and inspires me to be better than he was.
My dad was a boomer and I always felt like he was doing what he could. He grew up without a dad of his own and he was always a bit distant. His biggest problem was that he was terribly depressed but never learned how to rely on others or ask for help. Ended up dying pretty young due to complications of alcoholism. My brother is a father of 3 incredible boys and is an amazing dad. I just wish their grampa got to meet them. I know he would be proud of how his son has done. I just hope more older folks realize what he couldn't, that its okay to need someone else, and that its okay to be vulnerable around people that care about you. We're human, and everyone needs help sometimes.
Thank you so much for this! I'd love to see a similar video on teachers - they always seem to get the short straw in animation
I recommend the film "Spare the Rod" from 1961 - it's a brilliant look at different teaching styles and how they impact the pupils being taught. Genuinely brilliant film.
Bluey is a good show for both kids and parents since it has a message for both parties. In the episode yoga ball kids learn how to speak up for themselves especially if someone is hurting them and parents learn how to recognize when they play too rough with their kids.
7:13
A unique thing which Australian parents sometimes have to do is protect their kids from magpies during spring and teach them to protect themselves. I think that’s what’s going on here
im too old to be a kid and too young to be a dad but bluey looks fun to watch. well animated too. which is weird to me somehow.
The Fresh Prince’s ‘How come he don’t want me?’ scene was honestly therapeutic for me, and I’ve always vowed that if I ever become a parent, I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of my dad.
After slapping Chris Rock, we now understand why he don't want him.
It warms my heart to see that you love Bluey as much as I and many others do. Even though I'm not a parent, it really changed the way I interacted with my friends and relatives
I think it’s important to note that one of the reasons Bluey portrays parents in a more positive light is that the show is first and foremost aimed at children, so the characters need to be good role models. Cartoons geared towards older audiences (such as the Simpsons and bobs burgers) can afford to make their characters less sympathetic for the sake of comedy.
One of, but not the only. Keep that in mind
@@BLET_55artem55 could you elaborate? I’m genuinely curious as to what you mean by this
@@eleanorread3881 it's not only to show an example of a good parent to children as "be like him", but it is also here to show parents how to be better.
Your comment just sounded a little passive aggressive
As someone who is in that weird limbo between mellinal and gen z, I also look up to Bandit. I've done a lot of baby sitting with my fiance and we've used some of the skills we've learned through Bluey while doing so. That is almost a comfort show for us as well as educational TV for aspiring parents.
Bluey is the only show that can consistently make me both laugh and cry. Usually in the same episode
Bandit is easily the BEST fictional dad EVER.
I would argue the Uncle Iroh could be very close, but Blue is a completely different show from Avatar: TLA, so there’s not a whole lot to compare them to each other.
"He said 'Smell you later', but he never smelled me, again!" - Nelson Muntz.
That wasn't his fault: he was abducted and turned into a slave by a circus ringmaster.
my dad's exactly like bob, I appreciate his sarcasm as well as his caring personality so much lol
Bluey is sooo good. I don't even have children - but it's just so clever and heartwarming...
Bandit Heeler is implied to be a Gen X dad.
Great video!
Personally my favourite portrayal of a dad in a cartoon is f is for family. I love how nuanced he is, going through arcs throughout the seasons, realising the mistakes his parents made and coming to terms with how he has to stop falling into them himself.
I like Frank as well.
My favourite part about him is how he's so clearly an old man stuck in his ways, since he was raised with a lot of toxic masculinity and stuff like that, but despite that he does genuinely try to be better.
-He clearly has some bias about women in stem but overtime excepts that Maureen likes that stuff and comes around to it.
-Even though he does yell at his kids, he makes sure to never lay a hand on them like his father did.
-He's not great at it, but every now and then he does recognize that his son's are quite sensitive, as is able to open up emotionally to them.
Honestly Frank isn't the best dad, but I do really enjoy how given the time period, he's quite a progressive dad.
Does he need therapy? Absolutely. But the fact that he has a hint of self-awareness gives me hope that down the time, his kids will be able to fix their trauma, even though he probably won't.
@@bluebird1914 And plus to Frank's credit, have you seen his kids
I feel even happier that I got my niece a Bluey jigsaw puzzle for her fourth birthday! Looks like she's picked an exceptionally wholesome show to get invested in :).
Can’t wait to see how us Gen Z will be at parenting
Um, I don't think Gen Z WANT to be parents
@@NoName...... spoiler alert, kinda too late for that and if gen z doesn't become parents, that's a whole different issue
Well, too bad because humanity will be extinct in ten years
@@NoName...... some already have. I'm gen Z and I think I have a second cousin a month younger than me who's already had a kid
@@byakuyatogami2905 people i grew up with are starting to have kids and it's so trippy (i'm 22)
Yes we all need a parent like Bandit and Chili. They don’t yell at their children a lot and they play games that teach life lessons.
“26 years in the jungle and I still became my father.”
Jesus Christ, that hit me hard
I watch my nieces regularly and they love bluey. I watch it even when they aren't with me, it's so fun and it has amazing messages for all ages. Even the grandparents love it
Coming from a loving but mentally unstable home, I saw how each generation in my family affected the next. My grandparents loved my parents but due to the times and parenting approaches I could see how that impacted how my brother and I were brought up. My brother has kids and I see how his parenting is as well and the same goes for my husbands family so we made the decision not to have children. It's not that we dislike children but we don't want to negatively impact my children like our grandparents, parents and ourselves. The generational trauma stops with us. Instead we put the effort into our nieces and nephews instead.
I have a lot of hope that the future generations will be better than the last when it comes to parenting. Seeing this video and reading the comments makes me believe that it will keep getting better :)
I can't think of a father character before Bandit in media that was not just regarded as a good father but also straight up aspirational.
We went from traumatized authoritarians to mostly detached and self-interested to attachment issues to... _holy shit, parents can have empathy for their children and treat them like human beings_
Let's hope that last one sticks, yeah?
That neglect part of free roam parenting is kinda American thing in my country of the Netherlands. Kids around 12 are allowed to take the tram alone and I personally already went alone to Rotterdam when I was 13 (FYI I don’t live in Rotterdam)

I was looking for an amogus joke with this timestamp!
God I fucking love this channel. Literally the best content on CZcams, covering actual good topics in an interesting way.
I had no idea a kids show for gen alpha would have so much deeper meaning, thanks for the insight.
Bandit one of the best out of this line up for sure🙌
And that's a fact!
Bluey is great, but it still points out what should be, not what is. I'm a teacher, and I still see parents grappling to juggle quality with quantity time.
I will see 20 Doofenschmirtz dads each year, 15 Bob Belchers, 10 Homers, 5 Butterscotch Horemen, 1 Peter Griffen, and zero Bandits. FWIW, I'm in a mid-level Australian school.
Not screwing up your kids is not an easy task. I'm a gen X, our parents themselves had super strict parents who never let them do anything so our parents basically let us do whatever we wanted which were both good and bad, we did learn to be independent but we might not be as great getting orders from our boss at work and sometimes lack a bit of disciplines. So when we became parents a lot of us became helicopter parents that might be the worst generation parents in a long time, micro managing kids were not a great idea and neither was "helping the kids a lot with everything".
Eddie's generation have their issues too, the "everybody wins" mentally set the kids up for a whole lot of disappointment when they grow up.
In short, every grandparent generation since at least Plato's time complains about the young generation and every parent generation find some new way to screw up the kids. The key is probably to avoid extremes, extreme freedom is bad for kids and so is extreme discipline. If you help your kids too little that will screw them up but if you help them too much they will grow up as pretty helpless.
Just be there for your kids when they need you, teach them how to solve problems instead of solving it for them and keep them in line but not too much and don't try to protect them from the world too much and they will be fine.
Any parent will make mistakes, all humans do.
Bandit and Greg (from SU) are, to me, the 2 best dads in cartoons.
bandit is clearly the best animated dad
Absolutely! He is such an amazing role model! A type of dad who play imaginary games with the kids, teaching life lessons, admitting his flaws and been a caring and supportive father.
Yes
50s dad eddache's accent is so cursed
He still hasn't come back with the milk
I'd love to see a Bluey episode about disabities. The kids meeting a disabled kid and learning to play with them and making their games more suitable for them. Hell yeah
As a cashier in a grocery store I don't go a day of work without some kid screaming their head off or running around. Freedom is great. But respect for others should be taught, too.
I remember my siblings and I acting out in a store as kids. My mom put her finger to her lips, and we knew to stop. Not because we'd get smacked, but because we were being disrespectful. It wasn't a playground, and we weren't the only people there. Respect.
I do love that an Aussie show is making it big in the wider world, it such a rare thing too see know fays
My country’s longest running soap, Neighbours, was big in the UK and other countries. But it only has a few good parents whereas most others are just plain screwed up.
Seeing Bandit on a thumbnail always makes my day
Yes
Okay this is the second time an Eddache video left me on the edge of crying thank you eddie this video is great
You're welcome! Out of interest, what was the other video?
@@eddache It was the cloudy with a chance of meatballs video the message about self validation in the video was great, like the rest of the video it was also great
Sorry for any gramatical mistakes english is not my first language
I didn't think that Bluey part would make me cry, and I've never been near that situation.
This was a very intriguing video to say the least. I'm not a father myself (I mean, I'm only 22 after all), but I do hope to be one some day and I really want to be there for any children I may have in the future. And this video definitely provides a lot of food for thought on the subject.
Absolutely love Bluey! My favourite quote of Bandit is when he's the playing the prize claw - 'Magic claw has no children. His days are free and easy!' 😂
Video title: Evolution of Cartoon Dads
Second half of video: talking about Bluey
And honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's a brilliant show.

My kids love Bluey and I love watching it with them. So many scenes have made me cry happy tears, and both parents continue to inspire me! And the topics discussed are a great segue for discussing them more deeply with my kids :)

From angry to stupid to relatable.
This video is the most I've ever seen of Bluey, but that balloon popping scene cut like a knife. I had no idea that show was that serious at times.
Homer has been retconned as millennial in latest seasons while his character is still clearly not. It creates a weird whiplash when they try to show Homer use internet when clearly of era before that and partied outdoors
I feel like I should give Bluey a watch.
I always remember the parents I looked up to the most in media was Little Bears'. It was one of my favorite shows growing up, but looking back at it, the level of patience, support and understanding they show for not only their son, but his friends as well is truly admirable. I think Father Bear is another amazing example of a cartoon dad. Always taking him on adventures, instilling strong family values, and teaching about a hard days work without forcing it onto Little Bear. Able to pass down morals and knowledge to Little Bear without talking down to him. Him and Mother Bear are able to be an example of the type of person they want their kid to be without talking down to him. While those 90's cartoons for small children aren't as nuanced as the writing for Bluey, I do believe they set the groundwork on how to write good parents. Unfortunately, I feel like the parenting style of Bluey's and Little Bears' folks could only truly work in the world shows like that take place in. Where everything is peaceful and no real conflict or evil exists. So while it's okay to strive to be like Bluey's parents, it's best to just use them as a reference and not something to base your entire style off of. Remember, It's okay if your kids aren't happy with you all the time and to learn some harsh truths.
The worst Fathers in cartoon history is Timmy Turners dad and Peter Griffin, but Peter does care for his family more then Timmy’s dad
This is your best video of all time, I just sent it to my dad and it said it actually moved him, it doesn't really apply to him anymore since all of his children are basically adults including me but he said he really empathizes with you and says you're doing fantastic
I don’t have kids of my own but I hope to be a good dad one day Bandit is a great example of a dad I hope to become in my kids early years of their life
Oh my god the playtime as therapy thing hits hard. When my grandma died and I was like.. four?? I played funeral with my barbies and mimicked what the dudes at the actual funeral were doing lol
Not me getting emotional over what a good dad a cartoon dog is.
I'm a simple man, I saw Bluey in the thumbnail, I click.
Watching this show with my little nephew has been an absolute delight. Thanks for bringing some attention to it. There's not much of it on CZcams.
I’m not a father, but I am an uncle. I really want to be the best figure for my nephew and niece and show them down the best path. I remember watching Bluey with my nephew loved how it showed parenting and how they interacted with the kids.
15:56 Shoutout to Dofenschmirtz. For all his faults he tried his best to be the father he could be to Vanessa.
I first got hooked on Steven Universe, which completely rerouted my life, because the first episode I saw was a Greg episode and he reminded me of my own fantastic Dad. My Dad also, unfortunately, has clearly had his own self image and confidence colored by the bumbling stereotype because he refuses to believe he's good at parenting and is a workaholic in both his job and stuff around the house (my mom is disabled) and never even takes into account his own health. It's heartbreaking. I know there's other factors, but it definitely had a hand.
Can confirm, Bandit is 100% my parental template

I love how the whole second half of the video is a sly wink to watch bluey :)
I've never seen Bluey, but from what I hear everybody saying, it's probably the best kid's cartoon ever made. I'm glad the younger generation has such high quality show to watch.
