[@klarissawetzig1655]

I think it's because he has Alzheimers/Dementia and is probably in a nursing home. There's another part in the "bedroom" episode where they talk about how grandpa Bob forgot Bingo was born. And it could be that the parents haven't taken the kids to see him because people with dementia can get mean and violent the worse they get.

Normally I don’t think I would buy this theory, but the fact that they chose to include “wherever you are” as a line for Bingo when referring to him is.. bizarre. Like the creator said, you don’t include a random character in the plot without a reason, and that was definitely an intentional comment written into her script. So… not sure what to think!

He might like be far away and the kids don’t know so she said “goodnight grandpa Bob wherever you are”

[@carumsarene]

The older family has a history of travel, as mentioned in a couple episodes, including how Bandit and Chilli met. Grandpa Bob has been seen dredging on the beach. This leads to him either being a fisherman, oil rigger, or some vocation requiring overseas travel. All three are plausible, with their own evidence to back themselves up.

Rad did mention in his debut episode that he works on an oil rig, so he could be working with his dad in the family business.

[@Cosmic_Lemon]

I have a theory, one of my theories is since Bluey is based off the creators life, maybe his dad died and his kids didn’t have much memories with him so he decided not to make grandpa Bob in the show anymore, and when he said he’ll put him in future episodes, maybe it will be like a funeral type of thing but not too emotional

[@sushilookio]

I believe he has Alzheimer’s and the parents are probably afraid of traumatizing their children by having them visit. It’s not always the right answer, but it’s an understandable one. I would be hesitant to show my young children their grand parent in that state (especially if they’re a sun downer). As I remember, he forgot Bingo was born.

[@masonmaxwell5520]

What's a sun downer? Is that a form of alzheimers?

[@sushilookio]

@@masonmaxwell5520 it’s sort of like a symptom associated with Alzheimer’s. It’s a term healthcare workers use to describe patients who are really calm and sweet during the day, but can become very irritable during the afternoon (likely due to confusion and fear). Not every patient is a sundowner, but sundowners are often associated with Alzheimer’s.

[@masonmaxwell5520]

@@sushilookio so kind of like a werewolf?

[@sushilookio]

@@masonmaxwell5520 I wouldn’t say it’s like that because these instances can either be due to medication, worsening Alzheimer’s, or just experiencing fatigue later in the day (which can all alter the mood or perceptions of these patients). From my experience, it’s important to interact with them as gentle and patient as possible because you don’t want to come off as a threatening figure because at the end of the day, they’re scared and lash out. You always have to keep an open mind in situations like that as the reactions they have is never their fault. I worked in memory care for about two years (had to leave due to COVID) and I absolutely loved working with dementia patients. I work in home care and often still do work with dementia patients. It’s something I’m quite passionate about and I always advocate for those that have or have loved ones with dementia as they can be the most victimized. I know this is just a Bluey video, but I think talking about dementia is important.

[@brodello9249]

I think Bobs passing would make a great “teachable moment” episode but if he is alive, I would like some family drama between him and Bandit (something relatable for the parents but still child friendly). Like maybe Bob takes issue with Chili and Bandit’s parenting style or something. I JUST NEED CLOSURE.

Firstly, in Grannies, the kids don’t acknowledge Granddad Bob at all, only Grandma. There is theory of this being because Grandma is seeing him and the kids know Grandma will do this from time to time but she’s otherwise fine. She could’ve imagined the device calling was from her husband’s antics. This doesn’t necessarily mean he’s deceased, only long term absent. Divorce and death aren’t the only reasons for separation between married couples. There’s needing to move into medical care such as a nursing home, oncology or hospital admittance. He may still be of working age, especially if he had a position that kept him sought for long after retirement even, he may have been an archeologist too, or lectured. Some jobs may be desperate for his expertise or experience with a particular case. That would answer the following question of why the kids wouldn’t say goodnight to him with an added, “wherever you are”. As an Aussie I can say it’s not normal for a child to say “wherever you are” to a person whose deceased, as this would be said as heaven or not mentioned at all. Hey, he could also be incarcerated… it could happen.

[@NICOLAՏ]

The episode is called grannies, is it called grannie and grandpa?, anyways when Bob fell down, bluey laughs as he falled down.

[@Collato]

A lot of people go on about how it would be a hard but good lesson to learn about a family member passing with Bob, however since the character's absence is due to the voice actor having problems with traveling during the pandemic or something along that and couldn't record any lines it seems unfair to just kill off his character if they're plans for him. I do really like B & B Productions' idea though, I know it's a kid show and a cartoon but they do keep things somewhat realistic. Not everyone has a perfect little family with happily married parents or 2, one older one younger, kids. It would be nice to see concepts like "early baby" or Winton's parents brought up again and be more fleshed out. I mean, everyone can relate to a relative passing, it's been done hundreds of times on hundreds of shows, but I think doing something along the lines of a "deadbeat dad" or "unfaithful spouse" or anything like that would be quite special to the people who could relate.

[@Cuban_Superman]

I like to think that the reason why Bob isn't on the show much is because he and Rad both work together on oil rigs, if not the same one. In Fairytale it looks like Rad is the older of the three brothers, and being the oldest myself working in the same industry as my Dad and Grandfathers, it's something that tends to happen a lot, especially in union jobs. It would be a positive explanation for him nor being around a lot, similar to Rad.

[@notJCS]

An idea I've had in my mind for a while about Bob, is that maybe his situation is similar to Homer's mom in The Simpsons. Maybe something came up between him & Nana or the rest of the family that forced him to leave, or make him feel like it would be better to leave. This would explain his lack of present day appearances, him being mainly in flashbacks, and Bingo's wondering of where he may be. While I think him being dead could be a good teaching moment about death & mortality, the scenario I just proposed would not only be more interesting, but also could potentially be a good teaching moment about interpersonal drama within families, a subject which most kids' shows wouldn't dare touch. Just a thought. Another great vid, man(The Shadow Realm bit had me rollin')!

Just because one maybe old doesn’t mean they don’t have hobbies. I like to think Bob is just out of the house doing hobbies or visiting his friends while Bluey and other kids are visiting. And yeah Bob from 1988 is different from the Bob we saw from season 1 I’m guessing he probably mellowed out after all 3 of his kids moved out.

I think Bob is ok, but for how long might be the question.

It would be interesting to see Bluey deal with a death in the family rather than just "death" in general, which is seen in the "Copycat" episode.

[@lambybunny7173]

Honestly thinking about it, maybe he's just not able to leave the house? I wouldn't be surprised, a lot of old people can end up being house-ridden due to disabilities related to old age. We've only had one episode where they went over Granny's house I believe, so maybe he was just sleeping the whole time, y'know?

[@sebastianengelsman7255]

I definitely think he's still alive and is just somewhere. Because if he was dead, the Heeler family would definitely acknowledge it.

[@HandsomeDog255]

As what you said that it can be a good topic to go over for a death in the family I cant really go with that idea but an idea I would like to see happen is a feud that happened between Grandpa bob and the family specially bandit since as you mentioned could be the case since he doesn't even remember his own sons name in "Fairytale" but the not remembering his name obviously cant be the argument with them since it was a simple mistake but anyways I think it would be good to add this as a lesson not only to Bluey and Bingo but to Bandit as well and it can introduce a little ARC with bandit and his dad about there feud now I don't know what kind of disagreement they had but it can be something simple but effective to or just plain hidden but I don't know, him making a physically appearance can be awesome but can also be used as an advantage since it leads to a door for why he wasn't around so who knows my idea of him having a feud with his son could be it or he just works overtime or something but well see in the future.

I really wish we got a answer to what happened to him. What bingo said in the bedroom episode kinda made me want to cry because she made think he did die.

[@ericbarlow6772]

My guess is Grandpa Bob is suffering from dementia/Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home. They may not want to talk about it in front of the children b/c they are really young and wouldn't understand. If he has passed away, there would at least be an acknowledgment that Bob is "in heaven" rather than "gone away." The dementia angle would make sense if he forgets his kids names back when Rad, Bandit, and Stripe were younger. That could have been the first signs of the disease.

[@honorkosovasteel6447]

In the episode “ dance mode” , there’s a part where bluey is at the crosswalk with her parents which is based off a real life crosswalk , mostly used in Melbourne!

[@Puromelon]

I do have a Theory so hear me out I don't think Bob is Dead Or think Nana heeler left him, i think he is in the Hospital but hear me out on why i think that, Remember the episode Grannies where Bob heeler fell over i think what happened is that he Broke something in his body when he fell over and he either A. Didn't notice it or B. Noticed but didn't mention it to Nana heeler I'll let you think on that one, but i feel like later in the other episodes after Grannies Nana Begins to figure out something was wrong with Grandad so she called the Ambulance and he was sent to the hospital and the reason why she didn't tell the other Heelers is because she didn't want them to Worry about him and the reason why in the Episode charades Nana heeler doesn't have any Photos of Grandad Bob is so that her Grandkids doesn't ask about him cause she was afraid of telling Lies to her grandkids and the reason Bingo says "Goodnight Grandad Bob wherever you are" is because she probably asked Nana where Grandad Bob was and she probably didn't know what to do so she Had to tell a lie to Bingo so she doesn't have to worry about Bingo worrying about Grandad Bob

I saw someone on Tiktok talking about this and someone in the comments came up with a theory that, because Uncle Rad works on an Oil Rig and the Heeler family doesn't see him only on Christmas.

The name thing is honestly not that weird. There were times when my dad would call me my sister's name and then when I say "I'm Amanda!" he would circle through names. I think it's just dad joke about how they have too many kids.

[@broadwaystarletchannel7376]

Or how about an episode of why Bob isn't around all the time with Nana. It would be a good teaching moment to why Bob and Nana divorced and maybe he moves close by to Bluey and Bingo and the kids have questions as to why Bob moved but not Nana... Passing away would be too soon for Bob and maybe scarring to children who have lost people during a pandemic or due to old age and may be a tear jerker to those who didn't want that scenario in the first place. We wanna make sure our kids understand why people get divorced or separated cuz that's the majority of people today. Loads of people get divorced nowadays and it would be nice for kids with divorced parents to understand in an episode of Bluey why grownups don't always live Happily Ever After.

To relate to my family (as a theory,) I think that grandad is a hard worker and it one of the grandparents that have a room with a tv and recliner. Both my grandparents that are male from both sides do this. From my dads side he sleeps in the basement with a recliner and a tv. It’s easier for him to get in and out since he runs a farm and family business. I don’t really see him a lot since he sleeps a lot and is usually at a livestock sale, so I think that grandad Bob may have a far away job or a job that takes up time and energy. Another theory is that he that he goes on trips for Archaeologists resons like bandit dose.

Tbh kids around that age might not fully grasp what death means. I was 4 when the first person I was close to died. I did cry because I was already aware of the nature of death. I blame that on being raised on Monty Python and National Geographic vhs tapes. Some kids might not get it, especially because it seems like they aren't very close to Bob. I mean, there was an episode that dealt with an animal's death in the show and Bluey didn't really understand. So the kids not understanding can be explained away. I wonder if he's alive because wouldn't Cris say something about her husband in passing at events? I know they'd never show someone full on mourning but a comment like "wish he was here" while wiping away a tear could be enough!

The Christmas Party Lasted Til Midnight So Maybe He Doesn't Like Staying Up So Late And Just Chooses To Not Come So He Wouldn't Ruin The Night With His Early Sleep Schedule.

Why does a kids cartoon have enough lore for matpat to make it into the film theory version of fnaf

HE IS BACK

[@TinNguyen-qm2cb]

9:01 The story you made with “once a-Pon a time” made me laugh

[@critzeport]

I think he's either in memory care or missing...he forgot Bingo was born so he didn't give her a present. Among other clues.

[@oshawottt4872]

I don’t really think it’s a big deal as he doesn’t really have any other perspective in the show despite only appearing in one episode

[@Barakon]

Grampa bob has some brown patches so maybe his red heeler side is not showing very well?

[@milavillalpando6485]

In the Bluey book, BBQ we see Grandpa Bob. But why in the show BBQ we don’t see him?

[@citoyennedmonde]

I feel like having bingo, a small child younger than bluey even, acknowledge the death of a loved one seems a bit strange- but at the same time it would be a valuable lesson to teach her… so not completely sure.

[@theonewhoasked2474]

Its confirmed he did not die, by the creator

[@Razorect]

In the episode sticky gecko it shows that blueys grandad was in a photo where he was working in the army, I’m not sure which grandad this is but it could be bob. So maybe he has been on a mission with the army

[@theamazingwes6760]

Bob probably has Dementia and is suffering from past experiences with Nana. I mean, Bob literally has part of his ear cut off. In the episode “Bedroom” of season 3, The kids actually say two things about Grandad Bob that make the show quite interesting. The first one which you have all probably noticed, is when Bingo is about to go to sleep, she says goodnight to some of her friends & family but she does say, “Goodnight, Grandad Bob, wherever you are,” which makes this episode very confusing. Where did Grandad Bob go? Did he split up with Nana and go somewhere far away, like another country? But with that being said, the second one is a little harder to catch. Bluey and Bingo were deciding which room should Gloria (their stuffed animal) go to. Gluey mentioned Grandad Bob forgot that Bingo was born, so he gave Gloria to Bluey. Does anybody have other theories? If Grandad Bob does have Dementia, it would make sense that Bluey and Bingo never see him in person before. People who suffer from Dementia are most likely to get mean and violent the worse they get. This has been a head aching mystery so I will be happy to see if Grandad Bob appears in one of the future episodes.

[@renandooverton1871]

He is still alive, for proof I copy and pasted this text from my research: Bluey's Grandpa Bob has only made one true appearance in the show, leading to speculation about his whereabouts and whether he is still alive. Series creator Joe Brumm confirmed that Grandpa Bob is alive. Many of the grandfather-centric storylines were given to Chili's dad, Mort, to introduce more of Chili's side of the family in the show. Grandpa Bob's absence may be explained in future episodes.

[@kareesingh4428]

So I Have A Mini Theory Of What Happened To Grandad Bob. In The Episode Daddy Dropoff Bandit Is Packing Two Lunches, One Gluten Free And One Not. When I Saw This Video I Remembered A Theory From Aussie Girl Margie On How Bingo Might Have Celiacs Disease Which Got Me Thinking. Celiacs Causes The Body To Not Respond To Gluten Well So I Started Some Research/Consulting Google And I Found Out That Even Though The Pattern Is Unknown, Celiacs Can Be Passed Down By Family Members With One Of Two Different Genes. So Maybe Bob Had A Celiacs Gene And It Skipped Bandit And Went Straight To Bingo But What Does This Have To Do With Anything. My Theory Is Bob Is Being Currently Treated For Celiacs

[@Moonwalkgt812]

The true answer is here What happens to Bob in Bluey? Unfortunately, he ends up getting lost in the wilderness and Bluey, plus her siblings Bingo and Bandit, have to come to his rescue. After a mishap in which the four get even more lost, they eventually find their way back home - although not before Bob has had to perform some impressive feats of physical endurance.

[@mindset2047]

8:59 why there are bluey and bingo behind window which is also behind bob.

[@DanielBoren-l9z]

Ya, I think they will make a whole episode with him in it but if he does not show up in any episode then he probably passed or broke up with nanna.

[@Terastas]

It sounds like these theories about what happened to Bob are actually what is GOING to happen to Bob. If I had to guess, Bob's absence has been due to failing health. The most common theory I've heard (apart from him being dead) is that he may have Alzheimer's, which would be a heavy subject for MOST children's shows, but not for Bluey. It would also fit in with the "wherever you are" statement from Bingo, which might imply that, while he isn't clinically dead, he is "lost" somehow. Possibly in the sense of being in the later stages of dementia -- not dead in the literal sense, but so close to it that Nana has already finished mourning for him even though he is still alive. Similar to how, in episode of Mom when Victor died after six months paralyzed by a stroke, everyone thought Marjorie was taking it way too well and was at risk of relapsing, when the truth was that she had already mourned for him in full while he was paralyzed. It would also fit, sadly enough, with your theory that Nana and he "split up" and she moved into her tower condo. Only the more detailed account of events would be "Nana sold the house and downsized after putting Bob in a nursing home". So the Heelers are probably in limbo with Grandpa Bob right now. He's not dead, but at the same time, he's already lost to them. And my guess is that, when we do see Grandpa Bob again, it's going to be a tear-jerker. Either Bluey and Bingo will catch a glimpse of Bandit and Stripe having their last "talk" with an old dog who doesn't even recognize them, or they'll go to a funeral and Bluey and Bingo will overhear a lot of "at least he's not suffering" and "it's finally over" talk.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Maybe you should do a theory video on what happened to Chili's Mum as we do see a photo of her as well as her older sister who in the live show is revealed to be called Brandy

[@kalarhifauxe8202]

We know that Brandy and Chilli had a huge fight that led to Chilli cutting off her sister for years, but she finally calls her again at the end of an episode.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

@@kalarhifauxe8202 yeah but we don't know what happened to their Mum

[@denim_Vr]

This links together with the new episode stick bird when bandit is depressed for most of the episode which would make sense

[@skid_and_pump5488]

Bobs cool I wish I can see him

[@timsteelman4922]

Me: Zap!

[@WizzV2]

I think something happened to the actor. Maybe that’s why he has only appeared in episodes in the past where he is young.

[@StarshipGamer]

YES! After So Long!

[@StarshipGamer]

Wait! I got liked by my favorite channel?!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

[@CallMeGeruuu]

What happened to Grandpa Bob? Charlie Berens says his grandpa, who inspired the 'Manitowoc Minute' character, has died. MANITOWOC - Charlie Berens, the comedian behind the "Manitowoc Minute," took to Facebook on Friday morning to announce that his grandpa, Bob Berens, died earlier this week at age 83.

I love the music of the start!
