What's the Deal with Bluey?

I was watching Bluey with my daughter the other day, and it got me thinking — what is it with this dog that’s so popular? I sat through about four episodes trying to figure it out. Finally, I decided to share my research findings in the only place that truly matters: Facebook.

This was my post from 10/22/25:

I’m trying to figure out why Bluey is popular. After careful analysis, there’s nothing good about him. There’s certainly nothing extraordinary about him or his family. The humor is nonexistent for humans of any age. He’s kind, which I can appreciate for the kids—but he’s the kind of kind I don’t trust.

If Bluey were a person, I’d document his every movement. Bluey gives off off-brand youth pastor vibes. Like, he’s got keys to the facility, but only because someone needed a day off. No one fully trusts him. But in the absence of solid evidence—and the overwhelming desire not to work seven days a week—they just say, “What the hell.”

When you watch Bluey, you quickly learn the stories lack actual stories. So, we’ve allowed this cartoon dog to infiltrate our society based on what exactly? An Aussie accent? That’s how Keith Urban became famous here—and we all know what a waste of time that was.

Face it — this dog stinks. He’s a wet dog, plain and simple. As someone who grew up with legends like Scooby-Doo, Goofy, Snoopy, Muttley, and Droopy, I find Bluey downright offensive. Kick rocks, you weirdo. Go grab a Vegemite sandwich and take a knee.

Apparently, the comments on my post revealed that Bluey is a girl. A few people pointed out that I “wasn’t looking that closely,” while others kindly suggested I’m a “jackass.” Fair enough — I’m always open to examining all angles. Apologies for not climbing under the hood. But in this case, gender is irrelevant. Boy or girl, this dude is trash. There’s no reason to damage premium comedy just to pander to the crowd who want nothing more than to be seen, being right. I will not budge.

Droopy is the undisputed king.

Greater Danbury's 13 Most Amusing Photos Captured by the Google Car

Google Instant Street View is easily my favorite free application. You can take a digital cruise through the streets of Milan Italy, a drive down the PCH in California or tool around your local area without leaving your office chair. But the best use of Instant Street View is to catch unbeknownst moments. If you look long enough, hard enough, you will find some really funny things. I've spent years combing through the Greater-Danbury area Google footage and these are some of my favorite snaps.
