Despite everything else that happens in Handstand, I like how most of the episode is at a static angle with more and more people coming in. It's kinda cool to watch

[@alamutjones4922]

The “duck cake” is real. That book - the Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book - has been a fixture in Australian families for about 45 years, and we’ve all had the duck cake 🐤

[@kateorgera5907]

Those poor parents having to make the duck cake, tho. I know Bandit made a booboo by icing it first, but even without that it still looks a bit complicated.

[@lillyem3037]

Who ever had a duck cake?😅

[@anthonymorris1998]

I had a Duck Cake for my birthday last year and It was amazing!!!!!

[@drbongorama]

When I moved out I scoured op shops for a copy, I was so happy when an unnamed supermarket got a reprint.

[@drbongorama]

I have two distinct memories of that cake book. One, the moment you're handed it to choose. Two, when I went to a friend's party, and he had a cake from the "girls" section. I internally freaked out.

[@wak773]

nice shirt! but i gotta say, it always hurts me knowing that no one except nana was paying attention to bingo ON HER FREAKIN BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

[@brigittegill808]

Muffin is my favorite character(mainly because I was Muffin growing up) and I hate how people hate her. They dont seem to understand that she is only 3 years old and her parents obviously have trouble not spoiling her. She's the product of her young age and her enviornment. She is so adorable!

[@yikesgina]

I have a problem with her parents. Smh. The one where they called her the most special kid in the world just annoyed tf outta me 😭😂💀

[@brigittegill808]

@@yikesgina But thankfully that episode also showed she could learn and improve given Stripe realized his mistake and let her know while she was the most special kid to her parents, she might not be to everyone else and she instantly said "ok" and changed her attitude when playing with Bluey and Bingo. But yeah, its those moments with her parents that frustrate me. The Faceytalk episode is a huge example of their problems with parenting.

[@yikesgina]

@@brigittegill808 it’s about the only real problem I had with their parents. Everything else didn’t bother me. 😭😂

[@kylestubbs8867]

Honestly, I have a bigger problem with her sounding like Flower from BFDI. A less sympathetic brat.

[@silverdemonwolf426]

Not sure about thumbs, but I know baby elephants use their trunks as a pacifier when they're young, which is as adorable as it sounds. Usually children will grow out of thumb sucking as they get older, no need for intervention, but if it is excessive/going on for much longer than normal I think parents will usually put something that doesn't taste good but won't hurt the kid on the thumb to help them break the habit.

[@KingKuron_]

I always forget that the Heelers' kitchen is on the 2nd floor, it throws me off because it seems like a weird place to have it in the house.

[@rekkariley652]

I think it might make more sense in the context of Australia’s climate, maybe? Heat rises, kitchens generate a lot of heat, so keeping it on the second floor might help keep the rest of the house cooled down. Then again, split-levels in the USA technically have the kitchen on the second floor, and so do houses that are built into hillsides (where the main entrance also tends to be on the “second floor,” even if the rest of the house is on what would normally be seen as the “basement”).

[@sparxstreak02]

17:08 It feels so sad that literally NO ONE was paying attention to Bingo on her own Birthday 😢 I get the adults were busy getting party stuff done & kids birthday parties are especially hectic but even Bingo’s own friends from Kindy were off doing their own things rather than playing with Bingo - the one who INVITED them to her party!

[@alyssabullock6421]

Duckcake is an absolutely precious episode. I love the lesson it provides by showing that Bluey can be happy by simply helping her parents without expecting a reward. And Bandit getting sad/stressed because he couldn't make the cake the way he wanted to, so Bluey cleans for him to make him feel better, was so touching 💙 And then we have the Handstand where Bingo couldn't even get noticed on her birthday until the end 🥺

[@LauraM96829]

Muffin wears the cone of shame!

[@Tom-sq2nt]

One of the best episode

[@tinygryphon]

Pikelets are basically just smaller denser pancakes yeah, it's fine to call them that, don't worry ^^

[@Ali_Womble]

I appreciate how you take the time to look up things you don't initially understand. Learning is a great thing!

[@icad_AndHisLife]

I cant wait for "the sign" !!!!

[@bugdomrulez]

DUCK CAKE KILLS ME, i always cry. its just so nice

[@rekkariley652]

Sucking one’s thumbs is indeed bad for your teeth, as it can push developing teeth out of alignment. Which, in turn, can affect chewing properly, which impacts nutrition as well as jaw development in general, and that sort of snowballs into worse problems down the line. I’ve watched a few videos of a family whose four-year-old is Autistic and has thumb-sucking as one of her preferred stims, and they’ve had some videos discussing how badly the habit has messed up her teeth and jaws, and even her ability to eat certain foods.

[@tranatkikomi6873]

Missy was playing with the car. Lila was watching Cat Squad with Muffin and Socks in a deleted scene.

[@CooperGal24]

"I do not like the Cone of Shame." XD

[@cooperstanley3438]

I cannot wait for you to get to the episode the sign you’ll enjoy it 🤩and also cry😭🥰

[@Catherinewelter-z6d]

I saw a video of a baby Otter sucking it's fingers so cute, and with Duck Cake when ever I see their reaction to the "Clown Cake " I picture the Clown looking like Penniewise from Stephen King 's IT

[@yikesgina]

The cone thing is a dog thing they have put on them after surgery to keep them from licking/biting stitches open. Just keeps them safe 😭😆😂

[@nicolettemaloy]

sucking your thumb or using a pacifier for long (usually recommended to stop around 3) can affect your teeth mostly misalignment so you might need braces later but more importantly it can affect a kids speech thats usually the big concern since they might need speech therapy

[@the_nikster1]

I sucked my thumb as a baby and my mom put infant socks on my hands to stop me from doing it. it worked like a charm, but this was probably not the most psychologically healthy way of doing it. my cousin sucked her thumb for a long time, into her pre-teens, and her mom finally had to take her to an orthodontist to install a device in her mouth that made the thumb-sucking either unsatisfying or uncomfortable (I can't remember which). at any rate, it worked, and she stopped. Handstand is one of my favorite episodes! I love the different perspectives it shows and the attention to detail between the outside and inside perspectives.

[@catguytoons64]

As an Aussie I loved eating Pikelets as a kid

[@VeeAllar738]

4:10 It is, it's what gives you an overbite after some time. As for solutions, my parents used a gross tasting hand soap so then I stopped when I was little. My mom got an arm brace that stopped her from bringing her arm to her face and my dad's parents put lemon juice on his thumb to stop him😂

[@kirk5152]

Love how sneaky and stealthy Buddy is when continuously stealing frosting and then running outside and hiding in s corner to eat it. Also Crazy how often your little narrations, so often end up being the next exact line of script LIKE VERBATIM!! !!!! Its asi'd you could have written it

[@jasonbrennan9918]

Supposedly, thumbsucking can contribute to misalignment of the teeth, but it's usually cosmetic in nature though I suppose extreme examples could have extreme results. As for 'treatment' I've never heard of using an Elizabethan Collar, but old-timey books did sometimes recommend putting the child in mittens or coating the thumbs in a foul tasting substance to discourage the practice, but I imagine both are out of favour today... As for tails, cats most definitely don't wag their tails when they're happy - very much the opposite!

[@zyun-jan6428]

My mom put spicy sauce on my thumbs but apparently I liked the taste because I would suck it and then dip my thumb back in the sauce xD

[@rekkariley652]

Misalignment can affect the jaw muscles, though, and that can negatively affect nutrition by making it difficult to chew certain foods (which can also cause children to develop aversions to those foods because of how uncomfortable it was to chew them). I had similar issues in middle and high school because a baby molar that refused to come out caused the adult tooth to come in sideways, so I developed a habit of chewing everything on only one side. It ended up taking special intervention to remove the baby tooth, widen my upper jaw, and then a ton of orthodontics to get everything aligned properly.

[@Aragem]

Thumb sucking at muffins, age can be really bad for the teeth as they come in because it can cause the mouth to become misshapen with a huge gap between the top and bottom teeth at the front.

[@M644theawesome]

In Muffin Cone I'm sure there is a Crocodile Dundee reference when Muffin grabbed the carrot and Bluey said "That's not a knife" Also yeah there is a lot in the episode handstand, have to watch it more than once to really see what everyone is doing, and yeah Muffin, Socks, and Lila are all off screen watching Cat Squad, as shown on the Bluey's twitter page when people were wondering where they were in the episode

[@figaeroth]

forgotten how much bangers season 2 had, oh my god. loved ur reacts as always!!! can't believe ur almost at season 3 now, omg

[@MetaLatias5]

I was a thumb sucker as a kid and as far as I know there's no cone like that for human kids (or at least there wasn't roughly 20 to 30 years ago) but what we did have was Struwwelpeter, a collection of cautionary fairytales for kids, one of which was about a guy with a huge pair of scissors who'd go around and cut off the thumbs of anyone he found sucking on their thumbs My response to that as a kid was to stick my hand as far into my mouth as I could to hide the joint of my thumb in hopes that this way he wouldn't be able to cut it off XD

[@KFG13]

Auch Deutsch? Grüße ✌️😂

[@reading.with.rachel]

Kids 100% could mess up there teeth cause their teeth are loose from growing so they move super easily.

[@meykhou5823]

Awww ..I always love hearing your insights to each episode and that you love it as much as I do ❤

[@FluffyJackie]

This episode made me really wish we all had tails😂

[@Manda_Kat]

I sucked my tongue as a kid and I needed braces because I pushed my teeth out of alignment. I still have a permanent retainer on my front teeth.

[@rubysmolen5155]

thumb sucking is fine- thumb sucking may affect your teeth if a kid continues to after the age of 5 leading to the possibility of needing braces ( other reasons for braces- how they naturally form in a kids mouth)

[@zoesumra9152]

Harnesses are a good way to stop your kid running into the road, or running off in the supermarket. Thumb sucking doesn’t, to my knowledge, really damage permanent teeth alignment: they just grow weird sometimes.

[@missdutch]

I've heard that sucking your thumb too long make your front teeth bend forward Like sticking out causing an overbite

[@ulisestorres1122]

Muffin cone is Funny

[@angelinacamacho8575]

baby elephants will suck their trunks and puppies suck blankets or toys some do so well in to adult hood. dobermans are well known blanket suckers. just like thumb sucking it is the animals way of self soothing. a lot of animals who were weened too early, didnt have proper animal moms, or were taken from their litter too young will exhibit these behaviors. my little dog sucks blankets and its very cute. Baby elephant sucks it's thumb (trunk) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5bOgn6PfMiJj5Y Dog sucks on blanket kzbin.info/www/bejne/opiWpoVud5dkhJY

[@Goat81093]

I don't know if sucking your thumb messes up your teeth but it defenetly messed up my thumb. My left thumbnail is still way smoller than my right one to this day.

[@crcoghill]

You know... i never understood why sucking your thumb ruined your teeth.

[@marquis911]

The thumb pulls your front teeth forward at an angle over time.
