"How is the dad not waking up from any of this, and yet the mum woke up from Bluey's piercing stare!?" welcome to parenthood.

[@Mrskodymo]

Came here to say one of the most accurate things I’ve seen in Bluey is Bandit sleeping through almost everything while Chili wakes up from hardly nothing🤣

[@Jenkinscraftingco2.0]

So insanely accurate. I once woke up bc my kid opened her eyes in the other room. She wasn't fussing, or playing or anything just laying there awake and waiting for me to come get her. I don't know how I knew she was up, I just knew.

[@sarah2cold377]

I loved that especially because I used to do the same thing with my mom when I was that age. I'd just go to her room and stare because I didn't want to wake her up but I still needed something.

[@cucublueberry8078]

Yeah. That! Totally!

[@sloangalvan9598]

Omg i kept saying this...I'm like I can tell he isn't a parent haha 😂 that's every night

[@DieselWeasel]

Explanation of the "shattered planets": Bingo comes from Earth, and the other one you see broken open is Venus, representing Bluey. They're "shattered" because the rock planets represent Chilli's eggs, and their kids came out of them. The reason Mercury, the first planet from the sun, is intact is because Chilli had a miscarriage prior to having Bluey. That's why Bluey is Venus (2nd child) and Bingo is Earth (3rd). It's also why the stuffed rabbit is represented by the moon; it's Earth's protector, always nearby to keep Earth safe. Chilli is the sun because she's the center of the family, and Bandit is Jupiter because he's a gas giant (and also another protector of the inner planets, AKA, kids).

[@peteryang5056]

Beautifully put, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit I laughed out loud at the description of Bandit as a gas giant (cuz… yknow, he’s big and he farts). 😂

[@DieselWeasel]

@@peteryang5056 A 100% intentional description, I couldn't resist. XD

[@Rosebud076]

Omg! I’m not supposed to like kid shows, I’m literally 16! But I can’t resist Bluey ughhh!

[@peteryang5056]

It’s funny how so many of the most poignant episodes of Bluey focus on Chilli. Sleepytime, Baby Race, Rain, Onesies… I could go on. Something about Melanie Zanetti’s wry warmth as Chilli is so comforting and relatable without ever being cloying or stereotypically “mommy.”

[@OpposingPony]

You named some of my favorites!

[@one-onessadhalf3393]

Yes but add Granddad

[@CarmenFiala]

don't forget "Dragon"!

[@Dirtflesh333]

One of my favourites is stickbird:))

[@Truzyxx]

One of my favorite aspects of Chilli is how she struggles with her less noble impulses. Her envy in Babyrace, her impatience in Sticky Gecko and Unicorse. You can tell she’s hanging on to her chill by her fingernails, and I think that makes her both relatable and admirable.

[@StacyNotStacey]

Bluey is such a wholesome thing to watch after all he's watched

[@average-art3222]

But still, hes over reacting to some of the parts like literally, he's watching a kids show but still creeped out at some bits

[@NahlaRoseGold]

Fun fact: the last song you heard is called Jupiter part of “The planets”, the 7 symphonies written by Gustav Holst. Jupiter is my favorite one out of the seven. It’s an absolutely gorgeous and emotional piece.

[@Slightly_Insane_B]

You are so smart- btw do i know you?

[@NahlaRoseGold]

🤦🏻‍♀️

[@caseyh8386]

As a kid Mars was always my favourite. But now as an adult, Jupiter never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Coupled with the sweetness of this episode and being a parent, I was a wet eyed mess first time I saw this episode

[@gryphonvert]

If you rewatch it and listen for it, you can hear echoes of "Jupiter" throughout the entire episode. Sometimes it's just a few notes, or just lightly playing, but it's there.

[@WarhammerWings]

And one of my favourite patriotic songs too.

[@quizzicalsphinx]

The music does so much heavy lifting in this episode: the sweet, triumphant crescendo as the sun comes up through the window, signify that Bingo has achieved her goal of sleeping through the night. It's such a simple thing, and in the years to come, she'll probably forget all about the first night she slept alone in her big-girl bed. But in this moment, she's triumphant--and she won't even know it until she wakes in the morning. The music celebrates one of the many small victories of childhood. It's also kind of neat that this piece is titled "Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity." In her visit to the planets, her father's represented by Jupiter, and Bandit does indeed bring a lot of jollity to his daughters' lives.

[@pastelharmonies]

I literally start crying at the credits of this episode every single time, even while Matthew was reacting to it. I don’t know why it makes me cry😭

[@Konpeimimi]

Who's gonna break this man more and tell him there's symbolism about Chili having a miscarriage in the past in this episode, something the creator himself has confirmed

[@sassquatch990]

This was the episode that made me fall in love with Bluey ❤️ not only is everything so beautifully done but this is so accurate to trying to sleep when you have kids lol getting kicked, slapped and playing musical beds 😂

[@eithnedoyle6007]

I always full on sob whenever I watch this episode. I was always super close with my mom and she passed a few years ago, and this episode reminds me of the happiness she brought me, but also the pain of losing her

If me and my partner cant be like Bluey's parents i dont wanna do it lol. Their so sweet and patient, they give their kids so much space to be kids and learn at their own pace, while still giving them space to make mistakes and learn on their own. I dont know what they went through in life to have THAT much paitiance but their so loving with those kids, thats all i could hope to be with my kids. Hell, that level of chill is what i hope to be as a person.

[@grey8288]

Fun thing about the squinting, we often do it to avoid the light forcing our eyes to adjust. Our eyes go from dark to light quickly, but it takes a while for them to adjust back to dark. Try keeping one eye closed completely, then when you're back in the dark, open that eye.

[@sparklyDayz]

This episode made me cry the first time I watched it 🥹 ITS SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ✨💖✨

Wait till you watch "The Sign". What an emotional gut punch.

[@marikallevik6926]

I ALWAYS cry during this episode, Bluey is freaking BRILLIANT and heals my inner child so much. 😭😭

[@emmortalv]

I believe that the music in the end of the episode is Homeward Bound, which is one of my favorite songs and I love that it swells and becomes the loudest when Bingo climbs back in bed and is home in a sense. It just adds to the impact do the episode for me. That is genuinely one of my fav episodes fs.

[@katherinetomasello3661]

I have a talent for opening my eyes, turning on the light, using the toilet, turning the light back off and going back to sleep

[@JakeCamyo]

As a father myself lol, it wasn't that Bandit(Dad) wasn't waking up, it was that he was used to being abused physically as the strong male of the household. Bandit is often the punching bag for his children's happiness, which he takes this role with pride as he of course has other roles that far outshine it. But yes, it's not that he wasn't awake, it was just that he was used to it and was just trying to power through it like a strong yet loving father. It of course ended however like most things as a father.... Direct damage to the groin... 😅

An awesome touch in this episode is the use of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” suite (specifically “Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity”) at various moments throughout it.

[@samanthabaker7657]

Some of these episodes hit too close to home. One episode I cannot deal with is the camping episode of Bluey. No spoilers, but the ending makes me sob every time. To a little kid it is cute and sweet and adorable, to a teenager it hits way too close. 😢 (Loved your reaction) ❤😊

[@TheBlackfox730]

This whole episode is also about the separation anxiety kids sometimes have. Bluey showed it with the water, asking bandit to sing to her when she was on the toilet, and bingo was slowly getting over hers throughout the episode. The part with chili as the sun always makes me tear up

[@Kram1032]

It's amazing, and if you want to heal from all the scarring your channel has brought you, just watch Bluey!!!

At the top of my favorite episode list. Not gonna lie, I almost cried during this episode. The music was beautiful, some scenes were funny(especially Bingo and Bluey landing on Bandit’s groin. 😂).

Chronic physical exhaustion plus low energy paired with subconsciously wanting to die in your sleep/not really caring if you'll wake up and it's light's out in a minute haha Jk.

The story behind this episode is so sad being honest, Mercury doesnt hatch because chilli (aka the Sun which you figured out with bandit being jupiter), had a miscarriage. Bluey is Venus, and bingo is earth. Meaning that Bluey is Chillis second child. Its also hinted at in the episode where bluey and bingo are playing bandit and chilli in a play, the balloon under bingo's shirt pops and bandit grabs her hand. Indicating a miscarriage.
