Popularity in the USA (lemmy.world)

I'm Australian and went on a business trip last month to the UK and to the USA.

In the UK I didn't see Bluey anywhere, but in the USA I saw Bluey stuff everywhere. Every hotel room at some point flipping channels Disney Jr seemed to have Bluey on all the time. I saw kids wearing Bluey merch when out and about. I saw Bluey merch in stores. Even on a flight, the kids in front of me were watching Bluey on the inflight entertainment.

At one hotel I had to go down the hallway to get some ice, and was wearing my Bandit PJ t-shirt. Another guy in his 30s came out of the elevator and was like "OMG I love your shirt! We all love Bluey!"

So my question is, will the next generation of American squibs all have an Australian accent?

USA dad here. My five year-old daughter hasn't adopted the accent but many of the terms have become staples of her vernacular. Not ashamed to say some of Bandit's have become part of mine. Things like dunny or boot, which aren't American terms usually. Show is a true gem.

Bush wee is quite popular in our house… rather, out of our house. Helps we a boy. We’ve also stumbled upon other families playing octopus at the playground, Bluey is quite popular, also judging by the sheer amount of merch at many stores.
