When their kids want to watch TV, a lot of parents groan and roll their eyes. One show, though, is loved by both kids and adults.
And that’s Bluey, an Australian dog who looks like a person, with her famous, loving family.
If you haven’t seen the show yet, it’s about a Blue Heeler puppy called Bluey and her family, which includes her dad Bandit, mom Chilli, and younger sister Bingo. The show is fun for both kids and adults.
The number of people who watch the show has broken all kinds of records. It is now Australia’s most popular show ever, with 11 million people watching the most recent season.
It’s known for having scenes that parents can connect to and moving moments that have made many parents cry, especially in one of its newest parts.
But what really makes Bluey cry? Here are the top 10 Bluey shows that will make you cry, so get your tissues ready.
10. Space
Straight in at number 10, we have the new season three episode Space.
In the 35th episode of the show, Mackenzie, Jack, and Rusty pretend to be scientists on a trip to Mars. However, Mackenzie keeps disappearing, and no one, not even Mackenzie, knows why.
Fans have talked about the meaning in Space. For example, in a memory, Mackenzie remembers when his mom left him at kindergarten and he felt alone.
Some people have said that it shows Mackenzie is depressed and that’s why he plays by himself. Others have said it looks like the boy has a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that causes him to think about a bad memory.
No matter which is true, it’s hard not to get teary-eyed when Jack and Rusty pull Mackenzie out of the dark on their space journey.
9. Copycat
There aren’t many kids’ shows that talk about death and sadness, but Bluey does it correctly.
In the first part of Season 1 Episode 38, “Copycat,” Bluey copies everything Bandit does.
But when they find a hurt budgie and have to take it to the vet right away, the game takes a serious turn.
Our bird friend doesn’t make it, and Bluey deals with the idea of death for the first time when she plays out the event with Bingo during a game.
You can’t help but feel sad for the young girl as she tries to understand such an adult idea, but you can’t help but feel proud of her when she comes out on the other side.
8. Camping
Not every sad Bluey moment will make you cry, though. There’s also a lot of happiness to be found.
In season one, episode 43, “Camping,” the Heelers set up their tents for a camping trip, where Bluey meets young French-Canadian Jean-Luc.
Even though they don’t speak the same language, they have fun playing together as they look for “Daddy Pig.”
Bluey is sad when she wakes up for another day of fun and finds that Jean Luc’s family has already left, but we get a glimpse into the future when Bluey comes back to the spot as a teenager and meets up with her Black Labrador friend.
7. Curry Quest
Curry Quest, the ninth episode of the third season, is all about bingo.
The episode is about the youngest Heeler child and Bandit’s trip to Mackenzie’s house to trade soups. On the way, they have to avoid a magpie that is defending its nest by swooping down on them.
As usual, that’s not all there is to the story. We find out that Bandit has been keeping something from the young boy: he will be working away from home for six weeks.
Bingo learns how to be brave as the hero of the quest, and the show ends with a moving montage of the next six weeks, during which the magpie’s eggs hatch and Bingo meets her dad at the airport.
6. Army
In season 2, episode 16, “Army,” there’s another meeting that will make everyone cry.
There’s a lot to get emotional about in this show. It starts with Jack, a new student in kindergarten. Based on the signs he describes in his story, many fans think he has Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
On his first day of kindergarten, Rusty asks him to join his company. The kids become troops and go on a mission that Rusty’s father, who is away on deployment, inspired.
Even if their friendship doesn’t get you, Rusty’s father’s surprise comeback at the end will.
5. Flat Pack
This is where the tears really start to get flowing.
In the surprisingly deep season 2 episode 24, “Flat Pack,” Bluey talks about death again.
Bluey and Bingo take flat-pack boxes and turn them into a whole new world while Chilli and Bandit battle to put together the furniture.
Even though that probably won’t make people cry on its own, the meaning of the last scenes really hits home as Bluey pretends to become a mother and watches her own child grow up.
The show shows her death with a lot of care as she goes to a heaven-like place called Utopia with her own parents and watches her “daughter” live on. What a way to tug at your feelings!
4. Sleepytime
Sleepytime, the 26th episode of the second season, is another one that is full of powerful symbols.
After reading a book about space before bed, we visit Bingo’s dream, where she and Floppy go on an adventure in space.
While the rest of her sleep-deprived family tries to figure out how to deal with Bingo’s constant bed-hopping, watchers are sure to cry when they hear the little girl describe her mother as the sun. At the heart of her world was a warm, welcome light.
After reading this touching story, many parents will probably feel like Chilli and want to crawl into bed with their kids.
3. Grandad
Now for the top three, and if you haven’t already reached for a box of tissues, you will after these choices.
In the 27th episode of the second season of Grandad, Bingo and Bluey go to see Chilli’s dad Mort, who she says should be resting.
But he takes the kids on a crazy adventure into the bush, even though Chilli is right behind them begging him to sit down.
Mort realises that Chilli is worried because she cares about him and wants him to be around for his grandkids and his daughter.
At the end of the show, Mort is taken back in time as he and Chilli watch the water from a bench next to the lake. Chilli is now the age of Mort’s children.
When Chilli says that her childhood was a long time ago, Mort’s last four words, “No, it was yesterday,” are sure to give any parent a lump in their throat as they watch their own children grow up.
2. Onesies
Onesies has only been on Disney+ for a few days, but it is already our number two show.
In the 31st episode of Onesies’ third season, Bluey and Bingo’s Aunt Brandy, played by Rose Byrne, comes to visit.
As the kids fight over the onesies that don’t fit that well that Chilli’s sister brings for them, Bluey asks her mother why they haven’t seen her in so long.
Then, Chilli breaks the sad news that Brandy had trouble having children and couldn’t bear to see the family unit because it hurt too much.
The show also supports a fan theory from season 2, episode 16, “The Show,” which says that Chilli herself had a miscarriage and that her own children are rainbow babies.
The tough topics are handled with Bluey’s usual care and compassion, and the love between the sisters as they help each other through their sadness is so heartwarming.
1. Baby Race
How could anyone who watches Bluey talk about sad events and not praise Baby Race?
In the 50th episode, Season 2, Mum talks to Bingo about Bluey when she was a baby and how she learned to walk.
In this episode, Chilli and Judo’s mum Wendy start a ‘baby race’ to see which child will reach their goals first.
When Bluey starts to fall behind her friends, Chilli starts to doubt her skills as a parent. Eventually, she stops going to the baby group she had been going to.
Coco’s mom, Bella, stops by the Heeler house to tell Chilli and every other parent, “You’re doing great,” which is what they need to hear most.
As parents, we do often wonder if we’re failing our kids and if we’re doing enough to help them get by in life. This episode talks about the fear of not being good enough in a sad way, and the happy finish shows that we are all doing our best.
Even if that doesn’t make you cry, Bluey’s first steps will make you cry.
