Newish Dad Watches Bluey S2 - Circus, Road Trip, Dunny, Duck Cake - For the First Time

[@RDehuvyne]

The timing of an episode about voting day and it being called "circus" 😂😂😅😅😢😢 "Its a free country"

[@NDJunction]

this bullying was literally the government xD

[@popcornhistory8344]

Immediately after Adam's existential crisis, KZbin showed me an ad for Canada. Then we had Road Trip and its like Bluey is trying to tell me something.

[@hoppylyss]

Whereas I had an ad for betterhelp...what are you telling me, internet?!

[@foof76]

The duck cake is a real recipe in the Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book, and the recipe can be found all over the internet. Let's go, Adam!!

[@caylem00]

swimming pool and magic toadstool cakes FOR LIFE

[@drbongorama]

Remember the excitement before your birthday when mum handed you the book.

[@michaelkeogh7722]

Every Australian household had the Woman’s Weekly Birthday Cake book. I remember being over the moon when I got the train cake.

[@drbongorama]

@michaelkeogh7722 I got the reissue from aldi, and I'm diabetic, pure nostalgia. I remember being 4 or 5 and going to a birthday party and the boy had picked a cake from the girls section (the white fairy tale castle), I class so young yet so conflicted

[@ConnorTurvey-i9s]

Australian living in North America here. Dunny is pretty equivalent to saying crapper, and Australian's use toilet instead of bathroom or washroom. So Chilli is really just saying, can we please say bathroom in this house not crapper.

[@GamepadRanger]

Thank you for the explanation!

[@poppy7599]

This was very helpful! Thank you

[@carpelibrarium8522]

Or, based on Adam's reaction, Chilli is saying "can we please say 'bathroom' not 'toilet' in this family."

[@ToddJHammond]

The dunny was originally any outside toilet. In cities and towns the pan-type dunny was emptied by the dunny man, who came round regularly with his dunny cart. Dunny can now be used for any toilet. The word comes from British dialect dunnekin meaning an 'earth closet, (outside) privy' from dung + ken 'house'. So the reason why it's considered trashy now is because it refers to going to the bathroom in an outside toilet which would be considered lower class these days.

[@caylem00]

Yep. It's not used in polite/ professional society as it can have negative connotations re: wealth/ education. Aussies tend to use 'toilet' but 'bathroom' is now common because of US media influence. Also side note: 'toilet' isnt just the porcelain receptacle, the older definition is "the process of washing oneself, dressing, and attending to one's appearance". So 'finishing my toilet' is finishing getting ready.

[@Schu0086]

NEXT WEEK IS BABY RACE 🤩 They are planning more Bluey but it’s unclear how that will look. The child voice actors’ voices had changed too much for them to use new recordings for the most recent Bluey album. The minisodes are fun but vastly inferior to regular Blueys.

[@NDJunction]

OOOH i need my box of tissues!

[@GrumpySoth]

By the way lads When you see the parents leave with a sausage in bread - we have polling stations on election day ((Saturday) we are all required to vote unless incur a $20.00 fine and we have a 99.9% turn out. At almost every polling booth there is a BBQ outside with sausages. tomato sauce and white bread. Sometimes you pay 2 bucks but it can vary (sometimes it could be free) It's called the democracy sausage.

[@EMLtheViewer]

This would be great and quite at home in America. Unfortunately, voting here is not compulsory.

[@caylem00]

@@EMLtheViewer voting technically isnt compulsory in Aus either. It's compulsory to get your name ticked off on the election roll, but you can submit a blank or informal vote (incomplete, incorrectly filled out, or personally identifiable ballot). By the time you're there to get ticked off, most people vote anyway tho.

[@drbongorama]

Saturday voting, head to bunnings (Hannerbarn) after and double down on saugase sangas.

[@Karoline_g]

I literally just googled this yesterday and it looks like they’re planning on a 4th season. ALSO WHEN YOU FINISH SEASON 3, there are a bunch of minisodes on Disney plus. Do not miss those. The Muffin unboxing episode is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[@SilverTwistVI]

One that cracked me up was when Bandit as the detective puppet says he sometimes imagines being a drummer for led zeppelin

[@baconatorrodriguez4651]

And even the ones where the kids are singing songs, and also Bingo and Emma Mema

[@Karoline_g]

@@SilverTwistVI that was fun

[@Karoline_g]

@@baconatorrodriguez4651 okay… I watched all the minisodes in a row and then I watched all the Bluey extra bits on the KZbin channel, so I may be mixing them up?? But I think the songs were all in the extras? Cute though. Just maybe more for the kids and less for adults. Unlike most of the rest of the show where the balance is pretty split.

[@someperson4712]

​@@Karoline_gI agree. The only mini episode I liked was 3 little pigs, mainly cuz it had surprising humor.

[@bugdomrulez]

[e-mail] WERE GONNA BAKE THE AUTHENTIC DUCKCAKE

[@silverdemonwolf426]

Looks like little James is going to get a duck cake courtesy of Uncle Adam for his next birthday

[@katrina484]

We (Australians) say toilet instead of bathroom because historically toilets weren't in bathrooms. First, they were outside (an outhouse), then houses were typically built with just one bathroom and the toilet was given its own little room next to it so that you didn't have to wait for someone to finish showering to use it. For the past few decades, it became more common to have two bathrooms and usually the master ensuite would have the toilet in it, but often the main bathroom wouldn't. There is usually a powder room next to it with a toilet and sink. The More You Know. 🌈

[@FloralFawn89]

6:14 well damn if we all haven’t been making that noise for the whole month 😂😂😂

[@PrimRooks]

I didn't expect to learn through here that your SO's have a baking-related reaction channel, but I'm very pleasantly surprised that I did! I'll be sure to pop in for Kitchenette Best Friends (and I'm very on board for your guys' Duck Cake stream idea)!

[@laurashepherd2479]

Our voting days in Australia are super chill like that, most people don't get worked up about politics like in the US. They always have sausage sizzles at the places where the voting is set up (usually schools). You go and vote and have a sausage on bread and that's it. Voting is compulsory here too.

[@Karoline_g]

Y’all - I absolutely feel you on the Circus meltdown. I’m having related ones more days than not.

18:41 English girly here 👋 I'd say "I've just got to pop to the loo"... Dno if you wanted my input, but there you have it 😂

[@mr.moviemafia]

Duck Cake is great, but it's technically one of the show's few 2-parters with part 2 being "Handstand"

[@deanmaynard8256]

a dunny is literally the old school pre- sewerage oudoor toilets. It became a slightly crude word for toilet later - We rarely use rest room or bathroom for toilet. Maybe in hotels or recusants etc. We do use the UK term loo quite a bit - especially older people. BTW Australian's love a swear - we use the c-word as a term of endearment (depends on context!) and non Australians are often surprised when they hear what can be said on our TV and Radio.

[@deanmaynard8256]

In Australia where voting is compulsory, we buy a sausage and caramelised onion on a slice of bread as a donation to a local charity after we vote. These are called "democracy sausages". You can see them at the end.

[@1938superman]

7:24 If there was ever any doubt. Which there was not. Well said, gentlemen.

[@jenngray8769]

The most important lesson Bluey has to teach us is to stand up to bullies and that helping people makes you feel good.

[@VengefulPurity]

The parents use Duck cake as an exclamation in later episodes lol someone pointed out to me it’s their version of cursing because it sounds like “F*cks sake!” 😂😂😂 now I hear that every time.

[@SarahRichardsGraba]

We consistently say "aw, biscuits!" and "duck cake!" in our house now. My kid actually heard "dang it!" in a different show, and asked me what it meant, and I told her, "it's like saying biscuits" 😆😂 (I also regularly call my kids grubs now.)

[@Em-os9yj]

duck cake- most children in Australia have had a birthday cake attempted by their parents from this famous womans weekly cake book

[@SilverTwistVI]

I like how at the end of the circus, you can see dogs wearing shirts of different parties but still having friendly chat. You can have very different world views but you can still be civil and get along with other people.

[@bulletsandbracelets4140]

No arguments here, just really does depend on the views and how much those views impact your life. I can absolutely get along with people who have different view points until those view points are that they need to harm me or the people I love for their own personal gain. At that point it's no longer a disagreement, it's defending the things that are important to me and that directly impact my life. I think people can lose sight of that sometimes if they aren't personally impacted themselves

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@bulletsandbracelets4140 Yep! "Be civil to any and all disagreements" is a false balance. In reality, it's "be civil to any and all harmless disagreements". Once your "opinion" is that certain people should be oppressed or harmed, no one has to (nor should) be civil to you about it anymore.

[@alyssabullock6421]

[@paulkleihege1509]

When I was growing up, I was convined 'Brat' was a swear word. These days, I have convinced my children that 'Stupid' is a swear word. Its gotten to the point that when I say 'silly' I usually mean Stupid. We all do weird stuff as parents to try and make sure our kids are better than us.

[@popcornhistory8344]

My son thinks that if it's bad to call someone it's just bad full stop. Also I told him I had to screw something in the other day and he scolded me because if "screw up" is bad than just "screw" must be too.

Real cake from a real cake book, the Women's Weekly cake book. For many Australians this is a tome, I remember when mum got it out a few weeks before my birthday and let me pick.

[@bulletsandbracelets4140]

The first episode LOL. I know this year was... something. But I worked the polls election day and tbh it was a delightful experience, luckily. A bunch of people brought their kids with them and since it was right after Halloween, a few of us had brought leftover Halloween candy and set it out for anyone to grab on their way out. The kids LOVED it. Just a really neat experience and a very fun way to spend the day getting to know some other local people. Would absolutely recommend signing up if anyone is able to around work obligations, though I know some workers had a rougher go of it due to nonsense this year.

Yep. I live in Colorado, so it takes us 4-6 hours to cross the state, and 9-10 hours' drive is like Montana, Texas, Kansas City, Sedona, etc. Totally doable in a day. Las Vegas is like 12 hours so you could go for it if you start super early.

My mom has a weird language rule. She hates the word "muggy" (as in humid). Apparently her mom said it all the time so she doesn't wanna hear about it. It wasn't a problem when I was a kid because I didn't know that was a word for a long time, and it's not even much of a common word where i live. But now that I have more of a vocabulary, it is banned from our conversations. Even though I'm 23 years old and don't live with her, i would still get in trouble, probably.

One time was with another family that had a big SUV with a portable TV/VHS. 6 kids between 2 cars and we'd trade at gas stops. Only left one kid once 😅 While Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow are very nostalgic for me as my first proper video game on GameBoy Color, Gold/Silver may be the highest era of game nostalgia just from the aspect of how big the game felt in terms of difference from Gen 1. 🤯

The dunny episode reminds me of growing up in my family. My mom, for whatever reason, really hates the word "fart", so growing up she refused to let us say it. Instead, we were to use the word "smelly"; so not "I farted", but "I made a smelly". Cut to today, when we all say "fart", including her grandkids, and she still sticks to her guns and refuses to say it 😂
