For those out of the loop with Bluey, it's a fucking amazing kids show. I really can't compare it to anything that came before, the style, the music, topics that they cover (and even how they approach things). It's truly a once in a lifetime show kinda like the original LOTR trilogy. Lola Sebastian just recently did a video touching on it and comparing it to the MAGA copycat, "The Mundane Misery of MAGA's Bluey Copycat". A good 2 hour video to put on for entertainment and get the gist of the show.
I don't have kids, but I had heard that people with kids and dogs had noticed that their dogs were watching Bluey too. So I started putting on episodes of Bleuey for my dogs when I'd have to go run errands. Yep, I've now watched quite a bit of Bluey, and it's a damn good show.
Sleepytime makes me cry every time.
The symbolism surrounding concepts of growing up, facing the future (or current) death of one's mom / parent... the simple joys and quiet moments between parents and their kids and the orchestral arrangement and performance of Gustav Holst's masterpiece classic suite "The Planets" is a moment of devastatingly bittersweet television perfection captured in a 7-minute episode of a children's cartoon.
Chili's sister can't have kids... I want to die...
Why is this show so good?
One time as I was driving, a song started on the radio and I started crying but I didn't know why. Then I realized it was "The Planets", and I was thinking of Sleepytime.
I'll be honest, almost every episode has me tearing up in one way or another.
I feel like Alan from Cinema Therapy lol.
What the heck, MAGA needed to oppose Bluey? Maybe I haven’t watched enough but I don’t see it as particularly political. I guess it’s anti- “children should be seen and not heard” if that’s still a thing on the far right.
Anything that cares about people and doesn't raise you to be a selfish and uncaring asshole is "woke" to them and has to be fixed
They are actively against SEL which is the stupidest thing I can imagine. The only thing I could imagine worse is feeding your kids lead paint chips.
I don't think oppose is the right word
I watched one episode of the copycat (tons of bluey though) and it's more that they thought they could take it, slap on a conservative veneer and call it a day. It felt very soulless compared to the original
Sounds like they nailed it.
Is that the one where Rob Schnider is the dad character? I think I saw a SaberSpark essay about it. It can't even be consistent in its own moral lessons and often contradicts itself.
Can't be consistent on its own messaging? Sounds like it's on brand for maga.
BUT ITS CHILLA TIME
Unironically Breaking Bad is kind of what a MAGA version of Bluey would look like.
"Consequences for our actions? No, no, there's a way out of this..."
"Difficult emotions? Don't open up to those closest to you!! Recede into fear. Deal drugs if you have to. Just don't be a bitch and run out of money lol."
The craziest thing about Bluey is it's all that in 7 minutes.
I think of Bluey as a cartoon for parents that kids also like.
The only thing in a similar vein is Phineas&Ferb, even if it's a very different show. Everyone in my household, ages 5, 10, 11, 14, 39, and 43, were syched upon learning that there would be a new season.
Adventure Time is like this too.
An hour and fifty minutes? Any way to sum this up and tell us what it’s all about?
Bluey.
