In my opinion the worst episode is "Squash" for similar reasons, Bandit is less mature than his 6 year old daughter and very clearly makes Bingo feel worse by rubbing in that big siblings always beat little siblings. And Stripe only winning because Bluey, the big sibling, makes Bandit lose, removes all the catharsis from the victory. It just annoys me the whole way through, but I know not many people would agree with me about it.

I mean, its the same for Winx Club. Ever since Nick got rights for the show, ever since S6 the plots are very more simplistic and the main characters mostly have the same abilities with different forms. S7 with Butterflix is by far one of the worst ones because of how terrible it is. I’m pretty sure the show is now shown on Nick Jr instead of the main channel because the writers are literally the same ones for toddler shows like Blues Clues or Dora the Explorer. At least with shows like Paw Patrol and the other ones here, they’re meant to be slice of life and not the characters growing up or becoming adults. Several tv shows stray from letting kid characters grow up and they only have a handful of episodes where they show a futuristic version where the kid is an adult and is either married with kids or has a career

My head-canon is that in 'Charades' Muffin was so insisting about being a ballerina because she wanted to let Socks guess one time and she knew that 'BALLERINA' was one of the few words her sister could say without problem. With that said, yeah she was a total brat in the way she asked it.

My favorite episode of Bluey is Camping. I love the message and the ending is so sweet. I will admit seeing Bluey cry initially after Jean-Luc leaves definitely made me cry. Poor Bluey. Thankfully they do reunite in the future as teens as shown at the end of the episode. I really hope they actually do bring Jean-Luc back because he and Bluey have such great chemistry and despite the language barrier between them they were fast friends. If I didn’t already know Chloe was Bluey’s best friend, I would’ve guessed she and Jean-Luc were best friends.❤

I remember that episode too! It was so sweet!

The fact that Bluey only has 2-3 less than great episodes because of some characters that act like spoiled brats and, even then, still getting a 7/10, at least, just goes to show how impressive of a show this is! I’m sure you must be overwhelmingly proud at how much of a legend this show made by your home country has become, Strider! 😊

As "bad" as the 2-3 mentioned Bluey episodes are, they are still better than 99% of the best episodes of the other series.. Yes single adult childless fan of Bluey here. Mid 40s. Just a fun cute show with lots of heart and humor. Also beautiful subtle storytelling with ones like Sleepytime or the parents building the porch swing (packaway?)

As a hardcore bluey fan, ill have to say that the worst episode imo is Obstacle Course. I feel like Bandit is out of character for this. In the episode Yoga Ball, he was written in the way that Obstacle Course should have written Bandit. In Yoga Ball, he didn't realize his strength or how he was making Bingo feel. He didn't realize and when he's confronted, he immediately steps in to make her feel better and to establish boundaries involving playing and making sure Bingo's limits. Thats Bandit at his strongest. But then theres Obstacle Course where he purposly makes Bluey loose in a friendly competition. But then again, this is the most realistic kids show *ever*, and outside that episode, Bandit is the best father in animation history. So its forgiveable that Bandit does end up having an off day cause real parents occasionally have an off day.

With the Tina episode. They remade the message in a later episode show and tell . From what I’ve heard Joe Brum didn’t like how Tina turned out out so they redid the entire episode all over. But at this point we probably need a Tina vs Show and tell video going over the pro and cons of each episode

Here's something I THINK the writers behind shows for little kids have to deal with: One aspect that we will always like regardless of age is character development. We love seeing our favorite characters fail, learn from their mistakes, and rise better than before. It's a basic formula that works because we can relate to those characters. That's because we also learn from mistakes and grow and tend to go where we feel familiar. However, this has its limits. If a character tends to mess up with really easy stuff, it can become annoying and we can only see an incompetent that we want to disassociate from as much as possible. Now here's a problem. Although little kids are capable of learning, they have to learn stuff that, for us, might be harder to understand why they aren't able to figure it out. And here's where kids' shows struggle with the perception of adult viewers: the shows for little kids have to show characters making mistakes we as adults find idiotic for kids to understand why the stuff the characters are doing is bad. It teaches about bad stuff and shows examples of what could happen. Usually, kids can swallow idiotic moments from the characters because they can't grasp the full picture of why things are dumb. So the writers are put into a corner since they can't upset the parents, but they can not not be teach kids about life.

"Up, Up, and Away!" was poked fun at twice in later episodes of Thomas; in "Tale of the Brave", Thomas jokingly asks Percy if he's going to take a giant balloon on a flatbed, and in "Dowager Hatt's Busy Day" (which is one giant take that to the Sharon Miller era), one of the jobs that Dowager Hatt gives James is carrying a giant balloon on a flatbed. Neil Ben is ashamed of "Wonky Whistle", to the point where he apologized for it in the Engine Inspector's review of it. He said that while he was amazed that he was recognized for it, he still finds it a real shame since the script he wrote looked very different from the final product, and he has done some pretty good things in his career before and since.

I absolutely adore Charades and may be an exception on this one, but personally I found the episode extremely entertaining, but discussing with a friend we came to a marvelous conclussion I have to agree on and that honestly makes the experience be granted by giving it a different perception: He stated "For starters, we see Muffin already supporting her little sister by holding her ice block for her at the beginning of the episode. So it shows her being conscientious of Socks. Then, when the girls start playing charades, we see that Socks is having trouble guessing the answers. She’s then disappointed because she’s having trouble playing the game, and we see her whine and looking sad. Look at Muffin’s body language at that point, right before it’s her turn. She’s looking directly at Socks after she whines. And there’s a clear pause before Muffin gets up to begin her turn. We can possibly argue here that Muffin’s actions was her wanting to make the game easier so Socks could correctly guess the answer, so because of that, she asked for a card that had already been played so Socks would have already had that word in her head and she could think of it better. And, remember, Muffin is only three in this episode, so she likely wouldn’t have the ability to fully articulate to Nana and the others that it was her intention to help Socks play the game. I like imagining the episode as a double parallel. Nana, Bluey, and Bingo help accommodate Muffin, and Muffin is helping Socks play the game and being a good older sister." “Because we have to take care of the littles.” Personally, I agree with his statement, the episode makes Muffin be perceived as a bratty, unreasonable mutt who gets whatever she wants by screeching for it... but, taking this perspective in consideration, was that really her true intention? She was very hesitant on the ballerina card, but was it for her simple selfish intentions... or to give a helping hand to her sister she is seen supporting since the beginning? I'd state by her young age that's partially true... But openly wanting to specifically reenact the ballerina card was rather a desire by her own whim than a helping hand for her sis It's a very nice interpretation, but it might be a mixed purpose handling; she wanted to do the card by her own interest but she also wanted to help her sister at the same time, a win-win taking into account she truly never fully understood the game, so she would actually wanted to make the game easier for both... (again by her young age and poor understanding for the game, she was just three at the moment). Aditionally, the humor (mostly by Bingo's take), Muffin's adorable dance, Nana's speech about her grandma and the overall family bonding vibe... I'm a minority, but it's actually among my favorite episodes My personal pick for the "WORST" episode (note the quotation marks) is Fairies; started off strong with a cautivating conflict but the pacing then becomes messy and convoluted, the tone feels oddly mean spirited for a show like this and the ending is confusing... Then again, I couldn't call it a bad episode and personally this show managed to succeed not delivering a single episode I find appaling or even skippable, I find enjoyment in every single one which is an impopular opinion in it's own right... I'm truly THAT enamoured with the show but that's just me Isn't this show a masterpiece? It truly is, and we needed it more than ever, for real life

I've actually always wanted you to talk about an episode of "PAW Patrol" on your channel, and I don't think I realized how poorly written that "Pups Save Bedtime" felt. You know, the "PAW Patrol" episode that I thought was the worst one they ever did was "Pups Save A Toof". It's basically where the pups have to self-torture with what they're scared of all because a little kid named Alex didn't want to go to the dentist. "Pups Save Bedtime" at least didn't teach children to hurt themselves all because of a whiny kid who was being stubborn. Not to mention "Pups Save A Toof" was a Season 1 episode! Season 1 where every episode was tame and calm and weren't going crazy with ridiculous plot lines.

Still hoping you can do "10 toys that hit the uncanny valley" so that Furbies can be mentioned once again! As said, in the last list you put furbies in, you mentioned how they were "fnaf look-alikes", but you can really get into how there IS a creepy game based off of Furbies!

I've only seen a few episodes of Bluey, mostly because I'm an adult without kids, but what I have seen seems warm, sweet, and caring as a show. I can see why it's so loved and why it even has adult fans. The one I liked the most of what I saw Bluey and her family are camping out in the bush and Bluey meets a French pup. They don't speak each other's language, but get along and have fun, and Bluey is crestfallen when he ends up leaving. They move ahead in time when she's a teen or adult and she sees him again.

Thank you so much for making it clear that CGI Thomas isn’t all bad! There are so many hidden gems that seem to only be appreciated by the fans, and it pains me every time someone jumps to conclusions and says “CGI Thomas was always bad”. If anyone wants to watch CGI Thomas, I recommend seasons 17-21.

23:42 French here, and I do have that kind of voice myself. I personally find the more stereotypical exaggerated accent pretty funny, but the way that show did it isn't even a good attempt at that. And I agree with what you say about the show itself too; I've seen quite a bit of Paw Patrol in its early years out of nothing-else-to-watch for cartoons back when I had cable, and honestly, it's pretty much a modern equivalent of those "half-hour toy commercial" cartoons that were notoriously everywhere in the 80's. They just kinda get away with it, because technically the show came before the toys instead of visa-versa like those did.

i seriously cannot bring myself to hate caillou’s new adventures’ ‘no desert!’ because even though caillou went back to being a little shit all over again, caillou’s parents actually waking up and grounding him for the first time ever was the hardest i’ve laughed and cheered and the most satisfied i’ve been in years! it was simply a triumph! 👏👏 it’s almost like the creators learnt a thing or two from all of those goanimate videos from several years back.

4:09 I think the major question with this Thomas episode is... why the heck are they transporting the balloons already FULLY-INFLATED and insecurely tied down?? Why not put the three balloons together in a little box, along with the helium cannister, and then inflate them AFTER they're safely delivered? LOGIC!! What do they teach in schools these days?

It's a testament to Bluey's good writing that it only has three bad episodes and they're still not THAT abysmal. On another note, one thing that I was and still am kinda worried about in connection with this show is that it shows cute dogs and I'm scared that like other shows and movies of such nature it may lead to people irresponsibly buying heelers and then discovering that, as any breed of dog they have spefcific needs that don't always jive with people's livestyles. and then the shelters end up over crowded with pups people don't want/can't take care of. This ofc is not a shot at the show itself, because it's responsibilty of the people deciding on a pet to familiarize itself with it's needs, but it still always hurts my soul to know that it's an unintended, unfortunate byproduct of animals in shows and movies.

The irony is that this never happened to Blue’s Clues and I think it’s because they never elaborated on the breed of dog Blue was.

That parody short called Caillou the grownup is better than any Calliou show.

I'm so happy that you're talking about Bluey! It's a really wholesome show for all ages. I like that you talked about the authoritative and authoritarian parenting in the show. I saw the episode "Tina" myself and while I do agree that it's not a good episode, the message at the end helps kids understand why it's best to be told what to do.

As someone who just got caught up with Bluey just recently I have to say that yes I do hate Charades, as someone who was a demanding spoiled child back in my childhood, I feel very embarrassed at Muffin because she reminds me of me and I know that life won’t just give you everything you want. As for Tina, nah I actually liked that episode, sure Bluey and Bingo are selfish but it’s far from what Charades did and the lesson at the end was well conveyed and I did find Bandit and Chile’s acting to be entertaining in its own right.

Bluey is proof that we can make a little kids show that isn’t cringe Charades is the worst of the series which is an EXTREMELY HIGH BAR cause the show is amazing

Really don't mind "Charades" because I love Muffin. She's just an energetic ball, and she has some of the funniest bits in the show. I also love the message that we have to be more accommodating to people who are younger than us or have different disabilities. Even though she's the "bratty kid" character, the writers put a ton of effort in humanizing her.

One thing people miss about Muffin is that while she is bratty and very demanding in this episode, you can also see that she is trying to help her little sister. You can see her holding Sock's Ice Block, and her entire tantrum was so that Socks could get the right answer. That being said I respect that Muffin triggers many people. Especially because we have all dealt with entitled adults and entitled adults come from entitled children.

The only Bluey episode I have a problem with is Show and Tell. They retaught the moral they already used in Tina, even recalling that episode, because both Bluey AND Bingo forgot, which understandably disappointed Bandit. Apparently it was a way to teach parents that whenever they teach their kids lessons, they need to use simple words and short sentences.

10:13 this had me dying 💀

6:01 only Percy was like that, Thomas told Percy too race after the big balloon, and after Percy objects, the narrator says that Thomas wasn’t sure, he only reluctantly agreed too it so that he "wouldn’t up set his best friend". It’s the same with the tunnel as well

I've got to say, finding your channel a few years ago was one of the best things to happen. I don't feel as awkward anymore being in my mid 30s watching cartoons for various young age Thank you

Why the heck is there even a Caillou reboot anyway? I mean with Thomas I understand because of how beloved he is, but Caillou is just about one of the most hated kids' cartoons ever! Why the heck does he have a reboot when the CREATOR OF CAILLOU even realized why his show was a bad idea?

I’ve started greeting customers at work with “howdy howdy!” and I think I picked it up from you! Excellent video!

Seasons 12-16 of Thomas were the perfect example of what Wilbert Awdry hated. Writing something that talks down to kids like their mindless morons. There’s a reason why both kids and adults love Thomas, because not only does it respect kids, but it has that charm that gets adults focused. This was something those seasons lacked.

The reason Thomas didn't sound like that before is because they were all voiced by the same narrator. Unlike these seasons, where their voiced by individual people, and this was the first voice cast. Some of them did change over time. Check out some of the seasons 17-21, and you'll see what I mean.

the episode “Tina” reminds me of how Zoey used Rocko to torment Elmo in Sesame Street. I recommend the Film Theory episode about it.

From what I’ve seen, Paw Patrol feels like they are losing ideas, but are too stubborn to stop it for money’s sake.

I'm so glad to see that you're finally talking about Bluey! I would love to see you make a top 5 best and worst episodes video just for Bluey!

In defense of “Charades” I actually think Muffin was throwing a tantrum because she could see her sister was upset. She wanted to make it reeeeeeeally easy to guess so that her sister would be able to guess it. Early in the episode when they are eating lollies Muffin is holding Sock’s for her and if you pay attention to her body language before she goes to take her turn she’s watching and reacting to her sister being disappointed she couldn’t guess Bingo or Bluey. But she’s three so she can’t really express that very well.

I love how MatPat from game theory made a dark theory about paw patrol pretty much because he was stuck in quarantine and has a kid. You can see where that went before watching the video. I'm not gonna spoil it because 1. it's kinda dark and 2. his video is funny.

16:16, I never really liked high pitch Thomas as a kid as I was more used to Ringo Starr performing Thomas. I always grew up with him as the definitive voice. I feel like the characters in CGI Thomas should’ve had deeper voices, those Trampy videos are an awesome example of how they should sound.

23:17 They are actually cousins and since the show is Canadian, it would actually make sense for Francois to be French Canadian

I could never get used to the CGI episodes of Thomas and Friends- My brother and I watched the original ones exclusively because for us the model railroad work was a HUGE part of the charm
